I liked the main guy. He's neither short, nor feminine. He also looks kind of ordinary, which I actually prefer in guys:)) Not only was the actor attractive for me, I also really liked the character. And enjoyed his interaction with the main lady tremendously:) Else I would NOT stick with 44-episode c-drama...

I kept skipping basically all the support characters. They all tried to be attractive and funny, but only the mains were. As for the "story", there wasn't much of it in this one, not that I did miss all the usual "drama" devices such as love triangles or money plots or semi-criminal themes.

So, on one hand I immensely liked the main couple cast & characters. On the other hand, I fastforwarded at least 80% of the series. I never cared whatever happened with any side characters. And sometimes even with the main ones.

It was like a day-time show that runs every single day and each episode contains "daily drama". Like a case at work. Going shopping. Visiting doctor's. Etc. Oh! Looking at the airtime information, that's what this actually was (it aired Monday-Sunday, lol) I don't know why is this called 'Across The Ocean To See You', mostly it's about 2 people working at the same office and living in the same building, lol.

I gotta admit, there were SO many times I considered dropping this. Like, almost every episode:) Not that I would dislike it, but honestly I didn't feel compelled to keep watching it. But then, what would I watch as my next c-drama? It's all mystical wings and long-haired dudes. So, I sticked with this one:D After a looong time of boredom, occasionally I was blessed with super-cute /+ funny scene. Then, another looong time of boredom, lol. Apart from the clothes people wear (well, it's China:) there's not that much fun. Just the main couple. Seriously, this couple did some goofy couple stuff, lolz. Nevertheless, it takes 31 episodes for them to speak about being a couple openly (if you wait for kiss scene, it's the same number: 31 episodes of waiting, then first kiss is epi 32).

It sure was a LONG watch. Like, when I felt like I was watching this for ages, I was still at 1/2 of it, lol. I don't binge, and I don't watch the same shows every day. Like, even if this aired daily all 7 days a week, how they managed to air 44 episodes within 19 days is beyond me ("Aired: Apr 2, 2017 - Apr 21, 2017"). LOL. After completing 44 episodes of this, I was immensely exhausted. And I needed time to decide the next c-drama to watch, if ANY.
