Don't let the length of this Drama sway you - I have a hard time keeping myself watching after 20 or so episodes as most long drama's begin to get silly - and the writers tend to drag the episodes- which was not the case in this drama. I had to have two starts to this drama. I watched the first five episodes and got 'kinda' lost - gave up and moved on. After watching 'snippets' of this drama on Youtube my curiosity was peaked again- I thought I would give it another shot. I re-watched from the beginning and got totally sucked in. I just love Yang Mi's acting in this drama - from here I found myself such a fan of hers. And, who doesn't like Mark Chao? In his long hair.... and the fact that his is connected to Canada. I did skip over the parts of Dilraba Dilmurat, and Gao Weiguang - I simply can't find a connection with these two - I know that Dilrabas character is immature in this story - but I just can't handle her whining (sorry I know a lot of people simply love these two)
