This show really started with potential but shot in all kinds of direction. To give you a background the male lead is a street lawyer the female lead is a fashion designer. Throughout the story there are three storylines running in the story. You can skip this drama if you think there will be romance. There is romance but hardly between the female and male lead.
1) first story line revolves around Sheng Xia ( female lead) she has her own fashion boutique in NYC. She is working hard to try to achieve her dream as being a more well known fashion designer. Through her journey she has mostly bumps which require the male lead for help in court cases.
2) second story line revolves around the male lead trying to become a laywer ( he's currently just a street lawyer). At the same time he is trying to re- investigate/find evidence for a case that has caused his defendant to get murdered.
3) The third story line revolves around Sheng Xia ( female lead's) childhood friend. She is also into design ,but back in Beijing. Basically it talks about how she went from selling clothes on the streets to getting hired and working as a designer. ( i totally just skipped that storyline)
4) technically there is four storyline. This is the female lead's boyfriend and the female lead best friend. They end up falling for each other. To keep it short the boyfriend never respected Sheng Xia's dream and only wanted to make Sheng xia his wife. Sheng xia felt really insecure about him and didnt like that he kept pressuring her to get married. The second female lead ( her best friend) works with her at her boutique. He sees how caring the bf is to Sheng xia. The second female lead take cares of the bf when he is not feeling well .... so you know what happens...
What was kind of annoying was how they showed three storyline at once....
They tried to pack too many things into one... I definitely would not rewatch.

Started off as. a potential 8.5 ... slowly went to 8.0... and then to 7.0The basic backstory of this drama is that the female lead is into taking and restoring plants
The male lead is a ceo of a hotel/ corporation that also has a garden kind of thing., due one to the male lead's grandpa passing he meets the female lead. The male lead often gets headaches and the female lead is the only one that can make him feel better. The female lead ends up working as his hotel.. The second female is kinda annoying, making it hard for the female lead to do what she really wants which is gardening and taking care of plants.
The drama focused mainly on the backstory/ identity of the male lead and the second male lead. ( don't want to spoil it too much)
The production focused too much on the identity part which felt really draggy after a while. I thought it was going to end around 30... , but in total there are 36 chapters.
I skipped majority of all the planning/scheme/identity /backstory ... >_<
The biggest a**hole in the story is the dad......
I however really liked the chemistry between the two leads, wish there could of been more sweet scene
.
Mainly watched it because I like the male lead Zhang zhe han :)
I definitely would not rewatch

This drama seem promising. I would say for the most part it was an enjoyable drama but lacking . It mainly focuses on the female lead trying to become a chef. While she is trying to pick the ingredient she needs she falls and of course the male lead catches her. Their love story is pretty smooth as she like him and he likes her. The male lead is kind of like a body guard/protector of values being transported. The food she cooks looks so good but thats totally not her cooking because it resemble male hands ( during some of the closeup shots of her cooking the food)
The storyline goes pretty smooth and their isnt too many bumps. We are introduced to a girl that likes the main lead but that storyline doesnt really go anyway. The female lead along her way of opening a restaurant meets other chef and other people she takes as apprentice, teaching them to be a better cook.

Had really high hopes for this drama. This drama is a gender bender which the female lead acts a male as a physican/doctors in hopes to find who killed her parents. Reasons why i didnt like the show as much
1) it took way too long for the male lead to figure out she was a female total eps 28 i think he found out more towards the last 10 eps
2) The storyline has potential but it developed in all kinds of different ways
3) after i have watched it still didnt figure out why the evil dude was evil ? like what relation did he have in the story ? he felt out of place , just inserted randonmly lol ( or maybe i missed it because I skipped some parts)
4)although she is a doctor she didnt not do much healing/ seeing patient
5) the story behind her family's death was also weakly developed
6) they ridiciously inserted the show's sponsor in the drama ( its a beauty mask sponsor... felt it really stretching it.

1) really like the chemistry of Bai yu ( main lead) and Zheng qiu hong (female lead)
2) the story was interesting and kept me really engaged it was more refreshing. The male lead is a doctor to spirits. The spirits reside/form through people's longing and desire through objects like knife/comb/brush. He helps cure them before they become evil spirit.
3) Each spirit's story is actually really interesting.
4) I really like the songs in there, esp the one the female lead sings.

To be honest wasn't really expecting much... the female lead started out as naive and spoiled but I really like how she slowly matured and develops into someone being responsible and finds her passion in fashion and helping people. She has an optimistic, cute, chatty personality which was opposite to the Male lead. The male lead was reserved, logistical strict and organized. Along the story you are introduce to people who someone interrupt their relationship. They did not even kiss/confess their feelings until ep 26.... She also kind of was in a love triangle between the 1st male lead and 2nd male lead. After that the 1st main lead 's childhood friend comes back and that takes about ten eps , and then the 1st main lead aunt came back also around 10eps.
It was really cute how the female lead's bestie ( which is a guy ) found love with the 2nd female lead.
I really like Sunny Wang but did not understand why they had to dub his english and voice? as for the chemistry between the main leads there was some but could be more >_< .
Overall it was enjoyable and above my original expectation .
