First of all, I didn't read the novel before I watched this drama. And I think it was a very good decision when I listen to people who read the novel first. After Love me, if you dare I was very excited for this drama. Not only because of the story but also because of Wang Kai. He is my favourite Chinese Actor, so it was a must to watch this drama. Story: I like the story because it is a mix of crime, action and romance. This was an aspect for me to watch the drama. When I was watching I liked it even more...but why is the story not a 10? Because there is something I didn't like. It is the problem, which many chinese dramas have. The problem I mean is, that many chinese dramas are too draggy. When a Snail falls in Love is a very good drama and at the beginning it was promising. But there are some things I don't understand. I don't know the ending of the novel but I know the Ending of anothter Ding Mo novel (and there was a clear ending). I can live with cliffhangers at the end of every episode, but I don't like cliffhangers at the end of the last episode. Why can't Dramas have a clear ending? That is one of the problem of WaSfiL. I can't compare the drama adaption with the novel, but what I heart was, that there are some things missing. In my opinion there are some thing which are not clear. For example the viewer don't know how much time is between some scenes. I wish that they would have written it on the screen. And the episodes are too short. Maybe they should have had 45 Minutes or more than 21 Episodes. This are the Main Reasons why I rated this drama not so high like Love me if you dare. Acting: Like I wrote above, I am a big fan of Wang Kai. His performance in Love me, if you dare was excellent. And I liked him in Ode to Joy very much. So i was very excited for his performance as the male Lead. And he didn't disappoint me as the police officer Ji Bai. Captain Ji is a silent, attractive and smart person. Maybe a little bit arrogant in the beginning. But after he realises that Xu Xu isn't a normal psychologist, his personality in front of her changes. In my opinion (and after watching Wang Kai as a police officer twice) the performance of Wang Kai as an police officer is very good. Wang Olivia as Xu Xu was very good, too. Honestly, in Ode to Joy I didn't liked her character, but her acting as Xu Xu, a snail like psychologist who falls in love for the first time is very good. Xu Xu and Ji Bai are a beautiful couple. They understand each other, they know each other and they know what the other of them is thinking. The chemistry is very good and I like the two of them together very much. The supporting characters were very good, too. So I think I will check out more of their dramas. If it were not for the Acting skills of the Actors and Actresses I wouldn't rate this drama with a 9. But the Actors rescued it with the amazing performance. Music: The Music is good. I like the opening theme very much and the Music which is played during the episodes ist good, too. Rewatch Value: I don't know. Maybe, because the episodes are not an hour long, but it depends on my mood. I would recommend it, if you didn't read the novel yet. Maybe is it better to read the novel after you watched the drama.
