I just finished watching this series and it was nicely done. I'd rate it an A. The storyline and cinematography was great. The acting was great. However, the leading lady's voice & acting was a little annoying cause she was trying to act like a naive child but you'll get passed it. The male lead totally captivating. He has such an edginess about him but he's not afraid to be vulnerable. You've probably read in some comments that the ending was ambiguous and disliked it but in my opinion it wasn't a terrible ending. It's open for your interpretation and I would encourage you to still watch it. Everyone has their own opinions and it's for you to decide. There's only 13 episodes that are a little over an hour long but it flew by so fast that it felt like only 30 minute segments. Like every drama series they go through relationship trials and tribulations and they certainly had to overcome obstacles but its such a short series that you didnt feel like there were non-sensical fillers included. The chemistry between these two male & female lead actors were undeniably present. Although they grew up as brother and sister there's no blood relation between them. Their relationship is sweet and endearing because of growing up together. How many of us can say that they have found that one person in life who's truly been there by their side through thick & thin and who has seen you at your darkest moment from the beginning.

I would definitely recommend this drama series. I've re-watched some of the episodes that I liked. It has it's good & bad moments. Absolutely more good than bad. They could've went a different direction to postpone their marriage than introducing a past lover. There are ways to create obstacles. Be more creative with the ideas than what's obvious & predictable. I really like the bond/friendship between Bu Fan & Bo Hai. The chemistry between Phoebe & George in my opinion is better than him & Annie. This relationship was more realistic & mature. I hope we will get to see the two of them together in another drama series. But portrayed as different personalities of course. Maybe their roles reverse where she's more successful & dominant and he as an ordinary man.

Honestly I was getting a little bit tired of seeing Annie & George together. It was getting too cutsie for me and their relationship was so similar in both Love, Now & Love Around. Annie whines too much and has a screechy voice that makes your skin crawl sometimes. I hope this new drama series that will air in Mar 2015 will be a departure from their previous love connections.

This was such a great series to watch. I'd rate it an A+ and would watch it all over again cause it was that good. All the cast members (leads and supporting) did such a wonderful job taking us on their journey. The lead actress Rui Rui is so beautiful and the lead actor Feng Hui De is such a hottie. He reminds me of an Asian Antonio Sabato Jr. Love his dimples :)
I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't watched it but it definitely had moments of comedy, sweet tenderness but not overtly adolescent and tear jerkers.

I'm currently following this series and so far it's just okay. I'd give it a C+. It's currently on episode 10 and only 5 more to go. I'm going to stick it out to the end. I think the acting is overly dramatic. You can make a big impact without over acting. There's no chemistry between Annie and her 2 male lead actors. Most of the characters are blah... The only one male character on the show who is an eye candy is the accountants younger brother. He's really the one person who is tolerable to watch and he barely has a role. Annie's rival is pretty pathetic. She's such a cute girl but they dress her up like a 5 year old child with pig tails. Portrays her as a girl who has such a low self-esteem and can only seduce the man that she loves by manipulation. Playing on his sympathy for her and he's constantly reminded that she stuck by his side for 6 years. Honestly she and the accountants younger brother would make a cuter love interest. Lol...
