Forgettable

Was it worth watching 24 45 min episodes? Maybe, but not worthy of returning for a repeat. Loved the ML, but the FL, not so much. I just could not get over her limper than limp, thin hair, ears that were overly prominent, and an unfortunate nose. If they had just given her some more volume with some hair extensions they might have saved her look. Who am I kidding, her wardrobe was awful too, and she was supposed to be an up and coming fashion designer?

Love rivals? Both were morally bankrupt to certain degrees. XiXi's rival, XeWei, did everything she could except boil the XiXi's rabbit (Fatal Attraction reference). She was a spoiled brat who just could not accept that the SiChen was just not into her. She should have woken up and smelled the coffee 15 years before when she was told be SiChen that he wasn't into the girl next door. He was not speaking figuratively, he literally meant her. She carried on with her delusion to the point of nearly ruining SiChen professionally. Talk about sour grapes, "If I can't have him, then I will destroy him, and his little dog too!"

SiChen's love rival, ZiXin, wasn't quite as bad, but still a loser. His character was a little unbelievable. What guy would invest that kind of cash into a girl when she has already married? Yes, ZiXin is all kinds of soft and cuddly, but he still pursued a married woman. My father was a lay minister. One of the most memorable things he taught me was "Married, is married, is married and single, is single, is single, never confuse the two." I don't care that SiChen and XiXi started out in a contractual relationship, they were still legally married. Even after she turned down ZiXin's confession, he still pursued her under the guise of "friendship". That was so not right. In the end he finally got the message, but he still seemed to get off on tweaking SiChen's nose a little.

In the end the leads discovered they complimented each other, and grew to appreciate their differences.
