Some very good things. Some not so good things. Overall it is enjoyable for the leads
WHAT I LIKED:
- The chemistry between the two main leads Jiang Jun and Yuan Shuai. The pairing was physically very good-looking together (Bai Lu's facial features totally matches Leo Luo's small face). Their interactions were savory all along the drama.
- The love story : a nice little story born from a misunderstanding from his part which causes her to suffer and them to go separate ways. The reunion in a professional context helps them to get closer, rediscover their relationship and find their true feelings. Very simple, cute, heartwarming and very funny at times also. Their love is not really challenged. It's nice romantic cute moments almost all the way.
- Looking for the truth: The story about the death of Jiang Jun's dad caused by MH was interesting too. It did not take a huge part. Just enough to entertain between our two lovers' cuddling time. It was consistent enough with no huge farfetched element. It was revealed slowly and resolved in a nice fast way: tense when the villains were here and very funny when the good guys took action against them.
WHAT I DID NOT LIKE:
- Secondary couple is pretty useless as their romance has no sparkle and the two characters have no background. Hard to have sympathy for them. Sadly it takes a huge part of the drama.
- The last part : After JJ father's name is cleared, there is a time jump of 2 years. Good idea to reshuffle things and put the characters into new perspectives and challenges. The issue is that some parts are good and some are not . The good part: our main couple always. These two are now business rivals, a couple of three years bickering about work and how their couple evolves now. The not so good part: what happens to the others: Du lei, the secondary couple, Qiao Na...
More details hereafter (/HUGE SPOILER)
o - Du Lei evolution is a little bit surprising after he sided with the main couple to fight the evil ones. But he does not keep going on that direction. Instead he does crappy schemes to succeed and pry on Jiang Jung as he is obsessed by her. He goes on tilt and does illegal and unacceptable things as he can't accept defeat. He is spared in an illegal way: JJ and YS cover for him in exchange of him stopping his bad deeds. So illegal and wrong.
o - Secondary couple keeps being boring in the last part while trying to have a baby and doubting each other.
o - Qiao Nao becomes a little girl with a romantic heart which flutters when a 17yo kid in track suit comes to sing a song for her in her office. What a joke. Writers had nothing better in stock for her? /
ACTORS/CHARACTERS:
- Bai Lu is a fav. She was very convincing as a strong modern woman chasing her dreams and following her heart to find her love.
- Leo Luo had a very strong performance compared to his previous works I watched. He should do more of these roles as he is charming and has a good sense of comedy.
- Du Lei: Good performance from the actor. A complete freak in the clothes of a friend / ally
- Riley Wang: watched/tried his three last dramas. Never rated him. This drama will not help his case for me. But also his character was pretty badly written. Same for Xu Li.
- Qiao Na: loved her in Sword Dynasty. Here her character is challenging then supportive and then completely messed up.
- Linda : despicable but at least she ends in jail and redeems herself.
- Others fun characters: Su Chang, JJ's mom.
MUSIC:
Some songs were very nice to listen. Overall I thought the OST was well adapted to the drama.
REWATCH VALUE:
Weirdly I would not rewatch it. Because it is mainly about these two lovebirds in love and cute. I can watch it and be happy with them and be afraid for them when challenges come their way. But when you already know these challenges and how they are resolved, it is only about watching them being so in love that it will make me feel jealous.
There are some funny scenes anyway (DL and YS rivalry in the Aquarium, YS, how and after he got laid, The meeting with JJ's mother...) I would gladly rewatch these for the fun.
OVERALL: An enjoyable drama mainly for its main couple which account for 80% of the good things here.
