As always I was out for a hunt to get my daily dose of fluff and cute romance. I don't know why but recently I have watched quiet a few Taiwanese dramas and all of them were good to a certain extent. They all had some little details that were very pleasant but overall the dramas weren't fantastic and ToGetHer is no exception.
The STORY is really cliche. Hot, popular guy falls in love with our plain heroine. Love triangles, ex girlfriends, evil mothers this drama has it all. But what I noticed is that for the most part Taiwanese dramas don't like to prolong these plot lines, to the extent where they get super annoying and everything is resolved relatively quickly except ToGetHer had one misunderstanding or indecisiveness in the second half wich ruined the whole drama for me.
The CHARACTERS were what made the drama shine. Mars's character development was an amazing sight. I went from hating him to loving him and the most important part is that it all felt so natural, not forced at all. Chen Mo Mo...*sight*...I really wanted to like her and I did, I freaking loved her cool attitude at first but during the second half I wouldn't say that I started disliking her but lets just say that a lot of drama happened just because she had no back bone. Of course I understand that the decisions she was forced to make were really hard but girl you have to stand up for yourself, it's okay to be selfish sometimes! Jia Sen's character was an interesting choice by the writers and at first I thought that it will be interesting but his placement between Mo Mo and Mars was a poor decision because it was really hard to like him when he was just an obstacle for their love. Jia Sen's mother is the worst, a devil in diguise. I could recite all the characters but besides Mars all of them were two dimensional at best. For example the bullys at Mo Mo's college...so one dimentional, they did things just because the writers wanted them to.
OVERALL even though it was fun while it lasted the drama is skippable but if you like fluff then this might do.
