This is a very well acted melo-drama with a good dose of real life grittiness mixed in. The 2 leading actors acted so well in their roles and their on-screen chemistry was palpable! The tension between the 2 leads just grabs you and pull you into the story, and it keeps you in the story as the mystery surrounding their past unfolds. The scenes with Wallace Chung and Li Xiao Ran were just mesmerizing and gripping!
The real star though is the little boy, Ping-Ping! This young actor played the Ping-Ping so well, without going overboard on cuteness that i tend to find in so many c-dramas. I really enjoyed watching him! I loved the scenes where he's thinking about how to make money! He was so deep in his thought! The casting director for this show did an outstanding job casting these actors in their role! Bravo!
My one and only criticism is the hair cut they gave Wallace Chung's character. That was truly tragic, and not in a good way. It felt like they slapped a toupee on his head and called it a day. Talk about a bad hair day - for 30 episodes!! I just don't see the purpose of making his character look like that. The costume director could have done better I think.
Aside for that little hiccup, I really loved this drama. The acting was wonderful and the story moving! it's definitely a good watch!
