This is a good story and the show was good too but the acting was missing some things. Joe chen was brilliant second time watching him after it startred with a kiss. The girl was a lil weird i mean i woulda prefereed a different actress. Xio xiao is beautiful and viper is handsome too. the story starts out good and they keep u on your toes with the suspense. I dunno why it had to be 24 episodes that means 24 episodes of mani getting on ur nerves. She was the evil girl in the show she did a good job with that. There were a couple of funny moments with auntie and the cop guy.the houses and the villa was pretty. Anyways6s hope to see joe chen more and doc xu too.

This drama started out great but then after episode 11. It became a very rocky road. I struggled with this drama so much that there were times that I wanted to skip to the end. I usually try to finish dramas that I start but for this one I could not. The main character was annoying at first but I soon started to enjoy the character despite her naivety but, she still couldn't save this drama for me. It just became a makjang or whichever is the Chinese equivalent to that.

This review may contain spoilers
I am writing as I see nobody did a review and I always like to share and review what others may not be able to find in this website :p

Honestly I watch this cos of Joe. his cool and nice hairstyle is handsome for his role but his expressionless face in this drama is......one look throughout the show, I dunno, probably becos his role in this drama need him to be like tat?! u can judge when u watch :p

Story:
the plot was good. Interesting meet and fall in love. initial meetup was full of hiccups and there is a side story that is not mention in the synopsis which play a major role in this drama. I am not sure if I can mention this (??) spoiler ?!


Cast:
The Cast was ok ... only the look of Joe is on straight face, others are ok especially the side major story I mentioned above, I find him handsome, haha :P


Music:
Music was ok but
nothing special caught my ears ....

Rewatch Value:
hmmm...........to me, no..... not even the kiss scene of joe, LOL

The storyline was middling good up until the last 5-7 episodes, when it went a little over the top The premise was hackneyed, but creative writing and some good acting saved it. I was impressed by the lead actor's ability to portray growth and change over time. Sad to say lead female was a visual and emotional caricature -- another who thinks everything that happens is because of her - whether it's because of her actions, thoughts, wishes or presence, it will OF COURSE be rectified by her doing something usually self-sacrificing with a good deal of moping involved. I don't think it was the actress's fault in this case - I'm going to point a finger at the script and director.

I think the secondary actors were almost all quite human, excluding, in particular, the sister who resorted to shouting and stomping in and out of rooms instead of acting. The two sinister actors were done well also.

Unfortunately the music was downright doofy, however, there were useful clues in the cartooning during the introduction. Overall, I would say it's watchable, even bingeworthy during the first 2/3, and a bit of a slog for the last bit, The ending does seem to wrap up loose ends neatly.

Started well.... then...

Story:

It started well and captures your attention with the paste of the events.

Then in the middle or 9th or 10th episode thinks start going crazy, I am sure either it was exaggerated drama or the writer threw whatever he or she could to get you interested in the story, but for me it was a bust. (I could not find the name of the writer).

I mean the way things were going is like what happened, and it was time for to fast forward for me from there, it was too annoying for me to watch every annoying detail. The fast forwarding stopped whenever the main actors showed up.

I liked to finish the story, because I liked the main actors.

Acting:

The main actors and support actors did a great job.

Music:

Was good.

Rewatch:

Maybe, not sure.

Overall, I liked the main actors and the support actors, but the story not so much.

Dont!

Oh dear what a mess! There were so many repeated actions particularly of the two main leads breaking up and reuniting. Their relationship didnt make much sense- she was too immature for a relationship to start - did become more believable as the series continued and she stopped dressing and acting like a teenager!
Cant believe how many times she forgave him for his deception as to his identity let alone being caught kissing the villainess! Plus the self sacrifying always forgiving female is just too saccharine sweet for my taste.
She did act well but the male lead was one hell of a tortured soul and his actions and monotone acting hard to take.
Plus the villainess got off without any consequences- after all she did? Isctgete no justice system in china?!!reoentance is not suffucient!
Really whole story just dragged along and at crucialnpoints just seemed to skip detail/explanation when it was needed.
