Modern romantic story with drones...

A modern romantic story using drones... Definitely a twist to the idea of a modern love story.

Good Things
----------------
The main actors are on the spot. Bai Bai He is her normal brilliant actress. Her portrayal of the unfeeling Nan Qiao that has fallen for William Chen's Shi Yue, the little moment of cuties and innocence. Spot on. The supporting cast is also wonderful to watch. A lady to watch for is Wang Rou Shan (from An Ancient Detective), which is her first show I think.

The moments of humour in the show are well time. Adding moments of light-heartedness to the show.

The Storyline of the drama is good and bad. It is very simple which isn't a bad thing, and the actors are able to play pretty well. The formula is nothing new but the use of technology as the message channel of the relationship is different, making viewing different. Still, it is good viewing.

Things I don't Like
-----------------------
My biggest gripe about this show is its constant use of flash-backs. It is not just once or twice but a lot, a lot of times. And the length of the flash-backs is long. Honestly, after a while, the flashbacks become boring and annoying as they felt like it is gap-filled.

Final Thoughts
-------------------
It is worth a watch. Interesting story with hidden twists, but the story of three-legged love and power struggles, firstly female lead then male lead.
