Female Lead a Letdown

I started watching this because I have seen a few of the FL’s dramas and have enjoyed all them. Unfortunately, she was such a letdown in this drama. She overacted, acting over the top, and her portrayal of the character was so very childish, not childlike but childish. I wonder what she was thinking when she got the script and interpreted the character.
Thank goodness, the ML saved the day for me. I have to admit, I’m quite bias because Johnny Huang is one of my favourite actor. I think he carried the role of a professional soldier very well, very different from the role he played in Love Designer.
The other 2 arcs that I enjoyed and why I continued watching was Dr Zhang’s and Cheng Meng Zhen’s arc and Shao Xue’s and Tian Yong’s arc.
Shao Xue was very annoying in the beginning of the story but as the story progress and her character develops, I grew fond of her. I find her ending poignant and sweet.
A watchable drama overall.

The Best Chemistry Cdramaland Ever!!!

Love the humor, the storyline (except it could have been shorter) and most of all, the male and female lead. Their chemistry is just out of this world!!! This is the second drama I’ve watched starring Johnny. I just love love this guy. For someone who has no formal acting training, he is up there with the trained ones in terms of his acting skills. He is no ‘Xiao xian Rou’, and to add to that, masculine, charming and sexy.
I just love how the story ends with the motorbike scene, the story came to a full circle, tying things up very nicely. It has one of the best happy endings in dramaland. Personally, I mostly watch dramas to enjoy, to relax and escape from daily grind, so endings like this one is just perfect.
I guess the only negative is as mentioned above, could have definitely done with less episodes or have those episodes explore/expand Su Yunsan’s background and history with Song Lin.
I have since watched it again .
