This drama has many weak points that would lead you to an unavoidable disappointment. Starting for a typical romantic plot (smart and handsome guy / poor and clumsy girl in love with him), which we have seen many times already. Although the worst is not the lack of originality, which is not essential for a success in a drama, but the non-existent excitement neither twists that keep you interested in the storyline. I also agree with those people who qualify this drama as superficial and missing deep in the development of the characters. The male lead seems to start liking the girl without any evident reason in my opinion, so it does not feel real. The role of the female lead also seems so artificial sometimes - which is her real interest, photography or the guy?. Her courage to confess is for real? I still do not understand how someone who has never been in love before and without confidence about the other person's feelings, is so straightforward to say what she feel in such overdone way. However, there are also positive things about the drama that might make you watch it and enjoy. The best strength lies in the photography. I do not know if the reason had something to do with the theme of the story, but the stills through all drama are really well done. My first impression was that this drama served as an excuse of some fanatic director with photography. Some sequences looked much like a MV with nice angles and colours. The make-up stands out for its perfectionism and actors enhancement on the screening. The acting of Cheng Joe and Li Fei Er was as remarkable as it could be with the poor and awful dialogues the writer lazily wrote. At the end, the whole thing was barely saved by the two lead actors and beautifully filmed sequences. I would recommend anyway for fans of Cheng Joe. He is incredibly attractive and handsome in this drama and you feel in the main actress' shoes, stupidly dumb looking at how gorgeous and sexy he is in every shot. This bring me memories from my dear Hiroshi in "Heavenly forest", who also portrayed a photographer.
