This drama started out with the full potential of humor, casting and storyline. It really hooked me after the first few episodes. I thought the secondary characters played by Paul Hsu and Tia Li kept this drama more interesting and lively than if it depended on the main leads and I dare say they were the best part of this drama. As for the storyline and writing, it seemed repetitious and emotionally unrealistic after the first 12-15 or so episodes, and it was a struggle to complete this series because of that. Also, there was just way too much talking and explaining from supporting characters the last 3 or so episodes. Usually I enjoy Roy Chiu in dramas, but felt some of the scenes required ranges of emotions that didn't quite fit with either the characters or the main plot. Also, it didn't feel like they allowed his character's persona to continue the positive development he started out with in the first 10 eps., such as his breaking free from conventions imposed on him by others, etc. which would have made his character and imo the whole drama that much more interesting to watch and his emotions that much more believable. (I think writers/directors were trying to put too much into it to make up for lack of storyline) If this drama had ended at 18 episodes, I would have probably given it a solid 7-8 rating, but unfortunately it didn't! Finally, I will say there was definitely more chemistry and warmth from the 2nd lead couple than the first, which made the viewer feel like it must be a very tough acting job for Roy and Megan. This is my first time seeing Megan Lai in a drama, and I felt she did a great job in her character and the emotions she had to portray. If you have a lot of free time on your hands, go for it, otherwise The Office, which is a similar storyline and characters would be a bit more entertaining.
