Could have done better without the "ending dramas"
I have never watched any of the male and female lead shows before this one. I have to say I actually quite like this show, they make a remarkable pair together - romantically and all -along with their funny antics. All in all, I would say the entire crew + casts did a great job bringing this series to life. Though they could have minimized the episodes and make do without the last few episodes with the extra drama and etc from the 2nd female lead and the greedy family. Those episodes, to me only, was quite a turn off and I ended up skipping quite alot of scenes from the last few episodes. Other than that, I would say this series is a good first time watch - especially if you like what you read in the synopsis. As for re-watching, it would really depend on individual to decide if it is worth the 2nd shot. To me, not really, unless I watch this for the funny, romantic and awesome parts and completely skip the last few episodes again.The songs paired for this series is also quite nice. Looking forward to hunting down the songs.

Very short series
If you are looking for just a short - extremely short series - without much drama etc, then this would be it. 24 episodes. each about 10 mins long. Overall, this short mini series is ok for watching for the first time, though me personally, I would not be doing any re-watching. The story is simple. All the characters / casts performed wonderfully, despite me not really liking the show. There are many funny scenes - I especially love the way how the Female Lead goes on a disappearing act on the Male lead all the time. I only wished that the ending was better.Was this review helpful to you?
Finally completed it!
I finally managed to complete this series entirely, with a few skips of scenes here and there. Overall, the series is not that bad or extremely good. It - for me personally - stands between a fine line of good and bad. I got slightly "conned" by the time traveling part mentioned in the synopsis. This is definitely not a time traveling series like Serendipity, but more science project gone wrong. That said, 30 episodes for this..... abit tad long for me.Both the Male and Female Lead are good, they did a great job bringing the characters and the series to life along with the rest of the casts. Despite some criticism about the Male Lead - Lin Yi - I would like to point out that he actually did a good job of portraying the character. Expressionless is most likely something the directors and script needs him to be. So I would say he nailed it awesomely. There are many other series with men portrayed like him also. Even in real life there are some people who are like how he is portrayed in the series. Expressionless, aloof, cold etc. The Female lead is cool, with her bubbliness, positiveness and her never giving up attitude. The only thing I couldn't stand - and most of the parts i skipped - was the bossy princess know it all attitude at the beginning when she found out she is "poor". But that also proves she is good in portraying her character of both being the rich princess and the poor scrapping person. The rest of the casts also did a great job. Especially love the hair salon manager - his antics are just so adorable. The evil person behind all the fiasco also really did a great job of being evil and two faced. Great job!
Music was also awesome. Paired nicely with the series.

Interesting but not very good
The lesson behind the movie is actually quite meaningful. Teaching you to love yourself and also to appreciate everything you have - from the biggest to the tiniest details of life. However, the movie is just not great. I am sure all the actors and actresses did a great job and hard work bringing this movie to life, however, it still did not really bring the entire movie to life. There are various gaps here and there. The little touch of Alice in the Wonderland is also quite interesting, but not good. The song written by the male lead in the movie is very nice though. Really love that song.Darren Chen as bad boy in this movie, so not nice lol. On the contrary, quite the turn off for me.
Rewatch value, for me personally... I won't go for a 2nd. Was a nice to watch the first time, that is about it.

Short, sweet and cute
Initially this series attracted my attention was cause of "unicorn" (I totally love unicorns =D) and the 2nd was that Darren Chen was in it (I first watched his series was Meteor Garden and really liked his acting). Overall, after watching the drama, my conclusion would be that it is a very cute and adorable series with very little "drama" or those "stressy" moments. If you are looking for something really light, no excessive drama / evil plots, this would be something you can watch -for a first watch. If it is worth re-watching, you would have to decide on your own upon completion.Both the male and female lead are quite adorable together, be it when they are pranking each other or the short adorable "romantic" moments. True, a twist of fate and both of them actually met and ended up with each other, but the process till the very end is quite funny to watch. It is fun to watch how the Male Lead actually cares for the Female Lead but tries to make it as subtle as possible without exposing that she is actually female instead of a male. The tenderness in him is so adorable. I love how the Female Lead tries promoting team work and helps others despite the outcome or the punishment. Despite what many commentators wrote, I find that she is quite good with this character and shouldn't be shot down over minor facts - i.e not good in ice skating / ice hockey.
No one is born ever knowing everything - including actors. Many actors and actresses do have to go through various trainings and teachings just to be able to film the movie or series that they starring in. People shouldn't be so quick to judge, comment or even condemn another just cause they aren't superb in a particular action / sport of the series they are watching!
The music is alright. Some of the songs paired to this series is quite nice to listen to. Would definitely look up the songs and check it out.

Prepare yourself for the water tap and make sure you have tissues!
A story about life. This is not your ordinary drama, but touches more about Life and situations people will face. It is a very beautiful but sad drama with some cute adorable moments along with some humor. It is a beautiful story of watching two people getting to know each other, fall in love and work things out throughout life's challenges. Until the biggest challenge hits, a terminal illness. In this series, there are many life lessons and moments you can learn from. Many of the advises and scenarios are very valuable to learn. The series is also a rather tragic show, alot of waterworks - so make sure you prepare alot of tissues before watching.Both the male lead and female lead are quite adorable together and I feel like they really did an extremely good job portraying their characters. The entire casts also did an extremely good job bringing this series to life. The songs paired to this series are also quite nice and I love them.

It's cute but not something I would rewatch
The series initially caught my eyes because my random playlist in YouTube had one of the songs in it. Synopsis wise, it was sounding really interesting and as it was only 24 episodes long, I decided to give it a go - also because Lin Yi was starring in it and I kinda find him quite an alright actor. Overall, the entire cast of this series did a good job bringing the show to life. Story wise, I did not really find it fascinating anymore after watching it. Sadly, I would admit that this is the first show, after watching the first 11 episodes, I decided to skip to the last 2 to watch ( xD) .Zhou Ye as the Main Female lead was awesome. I really like her outspoken attitude - in the series. Both her and Lin Yi do make quite a compatible pair - romantically or whether while in game etc. But that is all about it.
The music paired for this series is awesome. I sort of enjoyed the OST more than the entire series. Maybe one day, I will try to watch the entire series from episode 1 till end, but for now, watching first 11 episodes and the last 2 have to make do.

It's alright
Overall, the story line of this series is actually nice, sweet and adorable. The entire casts really did a good job bringing the series to life with all their various parts. The songs paired to this series is also very catchy and nice. However, the teeth gritting part, in my own personal view / opinion, is the non stop narrative of the Female lead and also the dang high and mighty attitude of hers. Yes, some will say she plays that part extremely well - even I won't deny this fact - but I think there is "too much" of it in the entire series and it makes it a turn off. I am also a bit sickened of her too sweet voice on certain parts. I believe that she has a very nice voice - referring to the parts where she is actually talking normally instead of that dang sickening sweet voice - and feel that she should use this more than the sweet sickening one.The series, in itself, is a nice and sweet watch. But, on the re-watchable note, it is definitely not something that I would want to endure all over again from the start. Not with having to endure those narrative and sweet high and mighty parts again.

Action packed movie
Plus point that surpasses many factors.... It's a Jackie Chan movie!! It's filled with action packed with a mixture of comedy (like all Jackie Chan movies). The additional parts would be that Yang Yang and a few other named people are within.Overall, I find this movie great and also funny at certain moments, filled with action and especially love movies that have a mixture of variety of languages within - along with the English subtitles for better understanding of the other languages. Personally, I feel that we should have more of these mixture of variety of languages and places in a movie. It was feeling quite strange - for me - to hear Jackie Chan conversing in Mandarin though as I have always only watched all of his movies in Cantonese. But still enjoyed the movie nonetheless. The entire casts also did a good job bringing the movie to life. It definitely is something I would watch again, but only because I really enjoyed the movie. There were various reviews commenting about CGIs in the movie, but oh come on.... CGIs have LONG EXISTED in many other movies, so why the heck are you complaining and whining about some CGI hyenas / animals?! Better a CGI of an animal than having a real animal and then some wanky animal activists wailing about animal abuse just for entertainment purposes!

Cute and adorable with a past
I rarely watch Korean shows, this would be my 2nd one.I find this series very cute and adorable. I happened to stumble onto a trailer of it while browsing my Viki. Firstly, I find the show very cute and adorable with alot of funny and humorous parts. Not extremely familiar with Korean actors/actresses, but I have to say the 1st Male Lead and the Female Lead couple are extremely good together, be it in serious situations or out of the ordinary to the funny situations - not forgetting the mini romance scenes here and there. The 2nd Male Lead, the mysterious person from the get go, I feel that he definitely played his role really well - right up till the end. Overall, all the casts did a really good job bringing this series to life. I also love all the variety of dogs shown in the series.
The songs are beautiful, majority of them. I especially love the song that was sung at the wedding - if anyone knows the title, do let me know (thanks!).
All in all, it is a good watch, if you find the synopsis interesting and catches your interest. As for rewatch value, you would have to decide on your own. I definitely am watching it a 2nd round (or more).

A wonderful movie
This movie is, in my personal opinion, extremely good. Although I have to admit that the switching from present to past and back again can be confusing if you aren't concentrating on the movie. Like all Jacky Chan movies, they all have their individual delights and highlight. This one is not any different. I find the storyline of this movie quite good and the actors + actresses all did a very good job bringing this movie to life.I would say watch it, if you find the synopsis and trailer intriguing / interesting. Rewatch also depends on your individual opinion of the movie after you are done. For me, I have watched it twice so far. I especially love the duet theme song. Beautifully sung!

Great Movie
Grew up with Jackie Chan shows, therefore I always "chase" his movies. His movies never disappoint. It is always filled with action and also humor.This one is also a great show to watch. Packed with alot of action and suspense, definitely something for people who are big fans of Jackie Chan. I would recommend to watch if you are a) a real big Jackie Chan fan and b) you love action packed movies / non stop action.

Totally love it
Great movie, great casts, great music!Had this on my "Want to watch" list for some time but was hesitating in watching it because it was 40 episodes long and I rarely have the time to binge that many. But, no regrets doing the binge.
The series is awesome, alot of familiar actors and actresses in this series, including my favorites Yang Yang and Zhao LuSi. The storyline is indeed interesting and awesome, surrounded with loads of action, drama, romance and even humor. Yang Yang and Zhao LuSi indeed have great chemistry together, be it romantically or the humor parts. I especially love watching the parts where you find a confused Yang Yang when it came to Zhao LuSi's funny antics. It is especially funny to watch how, from the beginning, that the Male Lead actually likes the Female lead but is oblivious to it. The jealous moments are really cute to watch also. Overall, the entire cast for this series really did a great job bringing this series to life - especially the evil Stepmother queen (with looks and attitude xD).
The music paired with this series is also very beautifully paired. Love every single song they have. Too bad that Yang Yang and LuSi did not do a duet together. Would have loved to hear these 2 voices together - have listened to all of their individual songs.

Not my cup of tea
It's a mini series, consisting of 20 episodes and each about 10 mins long instead of the usual 40 mins long. However, watch it only if you find the synopsis intriguing / interesting instead of the reviews.The mini series is so so, though not really my cup of tea. It has a mixture of fraud- financially and relationship wise, psychotic"ness", obsessiveness, murder, suspense and etc. The entire cast definitely did a great job bringing the series to life. I am sure there are others who might appreciate this series but - my personal opinion and two cents - not worth rewatching.

Love it
The story is awesome, the acting is awesome, the music is awesome. I watched this series some years ago, but only found this site not so long ago, so recording all my watched series.I actually came to watch this because I really love Yang Yang's acting. The show is quite awesome - in my opinion - and the storyline is cool. Although the total episodes is abit long, but the action is there. This is one of the really few series I have watched without any romance element inside it except a world of gaming and competitiveness. The entire cast did a great job bringing this series to life. I would say Yang Yang is even more interesting in this series, especially when I only found out later that he plays twins.
The OST for this series is fantastic! I love every single song in this series. I would say it was paired beautifully.
