Wonderfully refreshing. Must watch it!

This drama, in terms of quality, is as good as Nirvana in Fire or Joy of Life and it comes with an additional bonus: a lot of romance. The acting is superb. The characters are interesting, convincing, mature. The female characters have normal, not baby-like, silly voices. There is no sickening cuteness. No 'accidental' kissing by 'accidentally' falling on top of each other. No 'accidental' drowning scenes.
I have watched 19 episodes and never once felt like fast forwarding. Chinese dramas often follow a particular pattern where the story line is predictable, drags on, viewers are exposed to cuteness overload, lots of implausible and stupid situations that don't make sense, countless 'misunderstandings' between the main characters.... to name a few. None of this in this drama! So refreshing! So well paced!
The chemistry between the main leads is amazing. Real adult-like flirting, witty, with a good amount of suspension.
Comic scenes are actually funny. Not idiotic.
On top of that fantastic visuals. The characters are gorgeous, beautiful, with just the right amount of make-up. Beautiful clothing, colours, ost...
A real gem!
