Let me just say that this was a stunning piece of work by everyone involved. Yes, there are tropes here that are common in all these dramas, but they are never over the top and don't give you eye rolls...for example, the piggy back ride or the scenes with rain. Minor tropes, but there are other that may be more glaring, HOWEVER, this is a love story and nothing really drags out so it all works. I loved Chang Chen and Ni Ni on screen together. They are what is the best part of this drama. Chang Chen plays the God of War really well and is at his best when he's on screen with Ni Ni. And what can I say about Ni Ni? That women played Ling Xi really well. Yes, she may come out as the typical free spirited girl that goes bonkers for the God of War, BUT she's not the typical "save me" kind of character. I loved her free spirit and I loved that she took charge of pushing the God of War to face his true feelings. AND when I mean she pushed the guy...oooohhhhh my goodness! Bravo Ling Xi! Bravo! Finally, I loved seeing Jessie Zhang kick ass in this. I've seen her in two other dramas and in both dramas I didn't care about her characters. They were the typical and annoying third wheel...however, her character in this, Quing Yao, was fearless and kick ass. She wasn't afraid to roll up to the Gods and tell them whats what when it came to saving her friend. Overall, this drama made me smile and I loved escaping into this world every chance I got. If you are looking for a great time and a beautiful love story, this one is it. Enjoy!
This was entertaining, at times nonsensical and silly, but its a good pallet cleanser if you've watched heavy dramas and need a break. I like Pan Duo when she's not stalking her "Idol..." She's awful around him... and then faking that she committed suicide as a joke to get his attention? AUGH! I so wanted him to drag her out of the building or call the cops on her. Awful! She's horrible! Who thought making her character a stalker was a good idea? She's better w/o that storyline.
