This drama was a waste of my precious time. Something I rarely have these days.
I only watched this drama for Yang Mi. I'd watch her in anything. I think she excels way more in historical dramas than modern day dramas. I did not care much for Tao but his acting was not bad at all.

The plot was so-so. It started out okay but it got lost somewhere along the way. Similar to the preceding drama but a little different with some twists and dramatic turns. The leads relationship was a bit unhealthy. It had nothing to do with the fact that the male lead was younger than the female lead. It was the fact that people kept interfering into their relationships and they kept letting it happen. The main lead guy's family as well as the female lead girl's friends. It did not help the fact the the main lead is from a wealthy family so his family is all old fashion and about business. They basically tried to control his life and tie him down but he was not having it.

The male lead was very young, smart and can be mischievous. Him, being young and mischievous was part of the reason why he was an insensitive brat sometimes. He was so immature sometimes. He took out his frustrations on others and hurt them because of the pressure from his family and dealing with the situation involving his mother and his father. It's so ironic how he's so smart yet so stupid at the same time.
The female lead was strong-willed, determined, hardworking and in love for the first time. I loved how she worked hard to try to achieve her goals. Somewhere along the way, I think she forgot why she worked so hard in the first place. She was given a choice and at first I thought she chose incorrectly because she was being irrational, but I sort of understood from a logical point-of-view. She was very mature and she was like a supporter for the main lead even though he acted on impulse and was irrational half the time. Some of the choices she made throughout the show, was stupid, because it did neither of them any good. It just caused more pain, suffering and a whole lot of misunderstandings.

All other characters were annoying. Did not care for them. Well, maybe one character I liked and that was the lady named Rita. She had amazing insight love love and relationships. In a way, she helped Xiao Fei and Tong Wei (The main lead couple). They were cute sometimes and I didn't care that it was an older-woman-younger-guy relationship. They had some chemistry.
There were other potential couples but the writers messed it up. It would have been great to see the other couples rather than focus on the main couples and their foolish nonsense,

There was a lot of nonsense in this drama that didn't need to be in it. I feel like the writers just threw things in the drama to create more unnecessary drama. It became chaotic and a bit out of control. Halfway through the drama, circumstances became more irrational and illogical and half the things that happened made no sense because if one thought about it from a realistic standpoint, some of those situations would not have happened at all leading to such incomprehensible outcomes. I guess the writers were trying to give some sort of "Life Lesson" in this drama. All I got from it was ABSURDITY! It was poorly executed. >.<

I did not like the music as much. Nothing interesting.

I DO NOT recommend and I will definitely not re-watch this drama. It had so much potential and they completely messed it up. I was okay with the ending whichever way, but all the stuff that happened in between was totally unnecessary. 41 episodes of complete crap! Don't waste your time.
