Ahhh ... the waste of good characters .. this had so much potential to be a good romance drama
The story cuts right into a good character introduction of the main leads - both of them fiercely independant but at the same time kind and sympathatic with grounded personalities - how much I love such character set up and was thoroughly enjoying both the leads and even the supporting cast - the first 20 or so episodes did a good job in bringing us into their worlds and their unique love story ...... and then the second half of the series happened .
I was completely baffled - it felt as if the scriptwriter was changed , the director was changed , even the characters seem to act OOC - felt like a completely different drama and it was a huge mess.
For once I was enjoying a good sexual chemistry of xu kai with jing tian which I hadnt seen in his last few series with other actresses , exception being bai lu from "the legends" days - maybe bit older / experienced actresses bring out the best in him - xu kai has always been a hit and miss for me , sometimes it works and sometimes not .
Overall this had so much potential , reminded me so much of " A journey to love " another of my all time favorites - and dare I say jing tian looked so much handsome dressed as a man then her female dressing style - wish they could have maintained her same style throughout the series and especially her armour dress :) .
And I cant forget Curly gao's ost for this drama , it definitely went into my playlist .
