An exercise in frustration if you don't speak Chinese
If I could follow the dialog in English, I am certain I would have given this title a higher rating. Trying to figure out what is going on and what the characters are saying is frustrating because of the crappy subtitling. And then, after episode 16, there was NO subtitling at all! In fact, I had trouble even finding the last two episodes of Season 1. I hate to think of what Season 2 is going to be like if/when I can find it.
The storyline seems to be interesting. The characters seem to be interesting. The relationships seem to work - the chemistry between the ML & FL was endearing and believable. However, Non-Chinese-speaking viewers really get screwed trying to watch these dramas, and that is unfortunate.
Out of desperation I watched the last two episodes and just had to be clueless as to any explanation of what was happening and why - and the way it ended was obviously to set you up for Season 2! So, I will go into Season 2 clueless, and hope for the best. However, if Season 2 is like Season 1, it might be a hard pass.
