Really Good, Last 5 Eps DESTROYED it!
I didn't watch S1 and S2, but really enjoyed S3. The eps were short 25 - 30 minutes each so moved at a pretty good clip especially the first 10 eps. Episode 10 -20 really started to drag and I had to fast forward past a lot of scenes, namely everything relating to the secondary characters, I just didn't care about the Director and the jealous girlfriend, nor the other rich guy and Chen relationship. I loved the ML/FL together, they had a really strong, mature relationship. I loved that the FL didn't let herself be bullied by people around her. In the first 10 eps there was this weird conflict with some actress who arbitrarily decided she wanted to steal the FL's husband. For reasons. So she became a very cliche conniving homewrecker. For NO REASON.She literally had no relationship with the FL husband, had no idea who the guy was until she saw a strange camper on set and wanted to know who owned it. Her assistant found out, then she looked him up on the internet and found out he was handsome and rich. Then decided "Well, that's my man!" When she found out "her man" was dating the FL she decided to try and destroy her. Even finding out they were actually married didn't stop her. It was ridiculous.
After that it was just a nice, easy going drama and they clearly ran out of plot at around Ep 20 and then it just dragged and after everything they went through (which, honestly, wasn't much) and all of their promises, they just decide to break up in Ep 33. And I was like WTF? And the reason for the break up was about as stupid and lame as you can get - because they felt they were holding each other back. That's the stupidest reason to separate. He was a 3rd generation chaebol! They had the money and family support to do whatever the hell they wanted.
This wasn't like most of these type of rich boy/poor girl stories, he wasn't pressured to take over the family business. He didn't have domineering, snobby parents that hated his wife, there was no marriage contract. No conniving, spoiled "best friend." None of that. The only slight obstacle in their life was the spoiled actress in the first few eps causing drama. They had all the support and time they needed to "find" themselves. But that wasn't good enough, they wanted to do it on their "own." Especially the FL, her self righteous, self sufficiency became annoying.
As everyone kept saying, why make it hard on yourself when you don't need to? There's nothing wrong with accepting help. I understand her work life became difficult once everyone found out who her husband was and how frustrating it could be. But as one of her friends said, why is she still trying to be an "assistant director," when she had all the training and resources to start her own production company? Eventually she takes that advice, but immediately gives up at the first sign of trouble. Her Husband tries to be his own man by starting a few businesses that he doesn't take seriously, that immediately fail as well. That's when they just blamed each other for their own entitlement and laziness.
And they are separated for YEARS in the next 2 last ep. For some reason the FL gave up ALL HER dreams, just because people only saw her as the ML's wife. So she becomes a famous Manga writer? She never showed any creativity in the the rest of the season, but suddenly she's a famous, successful, manga writer? Ok. And the ML becomes a famous "inventor" and automotive inventor? What? This idiot? The guy had no ambition for most of the season, wasn't shown to be particularly smart, but one montage of him studying later and he's Steve Jobs? Just horrible. It destroyed an otherwise great show. If I knew this was where they were heading I would have dropped this show. It was awful.

Noice drama! But not satisfactory to heart..
Quite good!! If you guys love to watch a married couple and caring and sweet husband, you could watch this. But for those who hate this type of storyline, I guess you could avoid my comment.This season starts directly with a register marriage between the main leads. And as for the second couple.., it's soo gud than the main leads.
It's not like 'If only you watch the first two seasons you would understand the plot'. Even I didn't the first two seasons!
/lovefrom../ :)

Just another version of Season 2
I say this is another version of Season 2 because somehow ML reverts back to being an immature jerk, probably under the influence of a new group of annoying, loud mouth friends and has to start the maturing process all over again. For most of the drama, ML/FL are married, but this jerk manages to lose her in the last few episodes (although they don't divorce) and has to get her back again in the final one. Also, FL goes from wanting to be a director to being a successful manga writer (her book is the title of this TV series). The stepbrother/half brother is no longer in the cast as well as the dingbat 'sister' with the bad dye job. Apparently, Wei Zhemeng had moved onto lead roles when this was made. The artist friend with the red/yellow hair has been replaced by another dude with similar hair, but this guy's personality is as arrogant and annoying as ML. Hey, ML can be cute at times, but he really needs to grow up and stay grown up, ok? Also, FL has a new group of besties. It's a happy ending, but they could have easily ended this at Season 2.Was this review helpful to you?
Ruined my mood
Just wasted my time. Maybe the worst for me. TBH I liked the S1, S2 so much. So I was so excited for S3. Actually it didn't need S3. But they still made it & I became the worst. The castz are same, the plots are same. But if look carefully they are not totally matched. In the end of S2 they ended the show smooth & perfectly. But in the starting of S3 they don't have that peaceful smooth life. Idk from where they write this story. It just worst. I suggest you to not to see S3. S2 has a perfect ending. If you wanna watch this show then watch it S1 & S2. No need to watch S3. It will just waste your time.Was this review helpful to you?

It was pretty good but could have been better!! I really loved the first two seasons but this i didn't like that much as the previous seasons. This season wasn't really necessary but I loved to watch them as a married couple now. I hated their break up because like come on the last few episodes and they decide to break up but at least we had a happy ending!! I just love the chemistry that is between Hou Pei Shan and Anson Qiu. Also I really loved the second couple (Chen Xuan Yi and Luo Bei Chen)! Was this review helpful to you?
