B-grade Romance drama lol

A likes B, and B likes A; but C likes A and D likes B; also E likes D and F likes C! Hahahaha what a mess!!! Yep- that’s what you get from this drama.

Ok let’s break it down- what I liked was the pace. It was fast, not draggy as they covered a lot in 24 episodes. It did get rather repetitive after episode 14- esp with Gu Xin Er repeating herself again and again, so I skipped most of her scenes and with Ling Sheng. Last 2 episodes summed it up pretty well and a happy ending.

Main couple was cute, although I thought it was rather B-grade, and I’m surprised Zhao Lusi acted in this (I thought she would choose better scripts). Their love story development was too fast (they kiss in Episode 5!:)) which was fine but I would have liked to see more of the chase. They did have their ups and downs/ lack of communication/ 3rd and 4th party interference; the usual angst. Any problems they faced was very quickly overcome. I loved Ling Yue’s bodyguard Ai Li! Very cool;)

Worst characters- Gu Xin Er. Hung up on a guy for ten years, knows he’s already in a relationship, still want to repeat herself again and again. She kept blaming everyone else for all the problems she faced- whether personal or work related. For goodness sake, take responsibility for your own choices! Just felt like slapping her.

Another lousy character- the brother Gu Ansheng. Like sheesh... also blame Ling Yue for everything. What’s wrong with this brother and sister?!! And he liked his adopted sister growing up... errr creepy!

Ling sheng- what an idiot following the girl like a puppy. Spoiled brat- get a life! Be a man! Sigh... in my opinion these characters were written very poorly.

All the problems in this drama could be summed up in one word- jealousy. So jealous that you would go to great lengths to destroy that person, then claim it’s their fault. UGH! Plot twists- quite predictable. Nothing new there. Also why wasn’t Madam Ling at her son’s engagement party, or at the hospital with her husband? She was missing in the last few episodes.

Anyway, you will get a lot of angst watching this. There were some funny and light moments, but all in all it wasn’t that great. Music background was the best! I loved the piano tango accompaniment- so funny! And sometimes the music was so epic and dramatic, like something from LOTR hahaha.

OH! And the product placement RIO- in every single episode! You open the fridge and there are at least 30 cans in there :P face palm
