Story-line wise, this drama is definitely not the best. I almost couldn't take anything in this drama seriously because of the large amounts of light-hearted and cringe-inducing scenes displayed in the first few episodes. They portray cops as incompetent and childish people who don't know how to do their individual jobs correctly. The main character, Shao Fei, especially continuously defies the commands of his superiors and always runs off from his police officer duty to fulfill his own agendas. All of the police officers fool around too much while on the job, which makes you wonder if they're even taking their responsibilities seriously. A lot of scenes make no sense. Honestly, many of the characters don't even deserve to have their jobs because of their lack of ability to perform their duties. However, if you don't mix this drama with reality and are able to ignore these obvious flaws, the drama becomes much more enjoyable and emotional to watch, especially in the later episodes.

Acting-wise, Chris and Jake definitely fit their character roles. Chris has the charismatic look of a gangster leader and has the perfect cold look, while Jake has the dorky charm. However, Chris needs to improve on his crying face as most of the times the tears look obviously fake. Andy and Jack also lived up to their roles, although sometimes Andy's happy expressions look fake and forced. All-in-all, the chemistry among the couples are great and enjoyable to watch.

Ultimately, I was a bit disappointed plot-wise (mainly due to the negative portrayal of police officers) and the plot twists weren't that interesting. However, this drama gives a lot of good life lessons and teaches the audience many things about the positive aspects of life and love. The characters were all also very lovable and the romantic scenes were very cute. I enjoyed the drama a lot and look forward to rewatching the quirky scenes between the couples.
