As an IT geek, i give this 10/10. Story wise, 7/10. It's an IT drama, more talks about technology plus romance with a twist. Each character on this drama was portrayed pretty well. Baibai He as Nan Qiao showed a strong willed independent woman. I like how she is not a damsel in distress. Her character is really likable. William Chen, boy! This man is awesome. His smile, oh girls, watch out! You'll end up falling head over heels on him. No doubt, he is a really good actor. Chao Jianqioung too is a really good actor. You might not like him at first. He is this over bearing over protective friend that falls in love with his bestriend. Even the villain here. She really protrayed her character really good to the point where I just want to shake her shoulders and scream WAKE UP! I admit I hated her. But she is a villain. The only way an actors acting is effective is if the viewers are affected by his character. Also, the landscape and aerial view is astonishing. They really captured the beauty of that city. Makes me really want to buy a drone.
What I only dont like in this drama, and like everyone is saying is that repetitive flashbacks. Its pretty annoying at times, and they are long flashbacks already occupying 40% of the whole episode. I also dont like how there are so many dead air in the drama. Long exposure on characters just standing, walking or just staring mid air. There are also scenes that obviously were cut off, like teasing you on whats gonna happen next but in actuality they are not gonna show you anything. If you will really calculate it, this whole drama doesnt need to be 40 episode. It can be lessen to 20 or 24 episodes.
As to the romance between the main characters. I find them cute together, even if there are not much kissing, but those cuddles, gestures, hugs, pecks, flirting with each other, they are really cute. I dont think kissing scenes is the only justification of a good romance in a drama but adding that will satisfy the viewers.They are sweet to each other, and i find myself smiling the whole time. Chemistry is 100% good.
Above all else, 8/10.
