I went asking for rects like LOVE ME, IF YOU DARE, and someone suggested WHEN A SNAIL FALLS IN LOVE. A few people, actually recommend it. And I have to tell you, I enjoyed this movie. The first episode I had to pause it and look up the cast because the male lead looks familiar. And to my happiness, it was Kai Wang from LOVE ME, IF YOU DARE - I was definitely in.

The premise for the story was amazing. I love a good Criminal Minds-y story. The female lead (Olivia Wang) is the most adorable yet. I love a strong female who seems demure but can outwit and outlast you any day. She was acting even when she was merely looking around the scene being super bad-ass and brainy.

The male lead (Wang Kai) was gorgeous, alpha, super strong. There is something about his character that endeared me to him. Captain Ji always wants to protect Xu Xu but it seems the character knows that sometimes, he just has to sit back and watch her work. He was alpha, but not the crazy kind where he holds her so tightly she loses herself. The times when he gets upset with her--really upset is when she puts herself in unnecessary danger and those are the times when I'm sitting in front of my computer screaming "sis, you could die for this!"

There are a couple of points in the show that I thought could have been taken out, or worked out a little better. The random trip about money to Myanmar was a little rushed for me - I see where it was necessary and the ending was filmed a little weird (it's a good ending, trust me) but I still enjoyed it.

let's talk about Ding Mo for a second. I've seen two dramas in which she has some part in. And it seems she has a way of writing her men to be respectful to their women--she writes them that they want to protect their women from everything--all the evils in the world, but knows they cant. They know they must equip her with the knowledge to keep themselves alive until help can get there. And I'm down for that.

Anyway, watch this Drama. If you loved LOVE ME, IF YOU DARE, you'll totally love this one too.
