Zi Ling is a dreamer who has always been overshadowed by her perfect older sister Lu Ping. For a long time, she's secretly been in love with Chu Lian, who also happens to be Lu Ping's boyfriend. Lu Ping is busy with her own dream of becoming a successful professional dancer and has little time for Chu Lian. Conflict arises when Chu Lian realizes that the one he truly loves is Zi Ling. An unfortunate accident forces a guilt-ridden Chu Lian to enter an unhappy marriage with Lu Ping, but he is unable to forget Zi Ling. Fei Yun Fan is a mysterious, wealthy, and much older man who loves Zi Ling with all his heart. Hoping to move on with her life, Zi Ling gradually reciprocates Fei Yun Fan's affection.

This series is a fantasy. It's not one of those fairies and demons fantasy, but a different kind. It's about a girl with no career prospects who spends her days blogging away on social media. Her sweetness and innocence win her the love of two men. One man sweeps her off her feet and takes her to a faraway castle, literally. There she lives a pampered life as his muse and supermodel. Sounds too good to be true? Of course, it's a fantasy that shouldn't be taken too seriously if you want to enjoy the show. Viewers are expected to throw all logic out the window and dream along with Zi Ling, the female lead.

Alex Fong lives up to the idea of dream man Fei Yun Fan. He was debonair in "Before Dawn" and he is still debonair now, if not even more so. The man ages like fine wine. He oozes confidence, but is vulnerable when it comes to the leading lady. He has such sex appeal that you hardly notice their age gap. So, must Yun Fan be old enough to be Zi Ling's father? Probably not, but this is Qiong Yao's semi-autobiography and she was similarly involved with a much older man. This is her fantasy, after all.

Next to Alex, Bao Jian Feng doesn't compare favorably as the second lead. His Chu Lian seems dazed and confused half the time. In the other half, he is dull. He's cute certainly, but still dull as dirt. Bao Bao's fans would be better off watching his other works.

Qin Lan's talents are wasted in the role of Lu Ping, who is more of a plot device than a person. Like Chu Lian, she is eye candy but not too much so. As a couple, their main purpose is to be outshined by Yun Fan and Zi Ling.

The character of "613" is annoying and not funny at all. Qiong Yao has been trying to add humor to her remakes and it invariably fails. She really should stick what she can do: romance and family drama.

Zhang Jia Ni as Zi Ling is surprisingly not annoying, which nowadays is an accomplishment. She has chemistry with Alex, but it doesn't make up for her lack of acting experience, which is painfully obvious in many scenes. They should've cast a capable actress who can add more depth to the character, or at least give a more convincing performance. Qin Lan herself would make a better Zi Ling.

It would be wrong not to mention how beautiful this series is, visually. It has the feel of a European fairy tale. We get to see Paris and Provence in all their glory. There are many romantic shots of our couple standing in a sea of lavender, by a stone castle, or on an ocean side cliff. The views just take your breath away.

This series is a must watch!!! I absolutely loved it. I have seen the one that was made in 1996 when I was much younger but I felt that the cast here was so much better. Especially Fei Yun Fan, I felt that Alex was the better choice, he seemed older but not looking that old which is a hard cast to cast in this case and he hasn't had much experience in making this type of romance series but I felt that he played the character so well! I was absolutely mesmerized by his performance. The two sisters were also well casted and it was obvious that Zhi Ling had grown up towards the end of the series even though at times I felt that she needed to stand up for herself for her dreams and what she wants and actually live for herself.
The first time that I had watched this series I had felt much like Zhi Ling and how she felt trapped all the time. I felt that I had needed someone to take me away from all the troubles that I had. This series was my kind of way to disappear and have some time to myself.
The music was fantastic, it was catchy and matched well with the series. I highly recommend watching this. Let me know how you like it!
