I've seen quite a few Taiwanese dramas and this one is really good among all of them. Even though it does not reach the highest standart possible, it provides incredibly nice story to follow and good chemistry to enjoy with each passing episode.
Honestly, I sat down and watched this whole drama in two sittings because it proved to be incredibly interesting. I didn't even dare look at the last episode because I wanted to see it all span out slowly.
I've always been a fan of Mike He and he proved to me again that he can make some great plays. The chemistry was good, squeezing out a tear from me eyes a few times and it proved to be very entertaining to watch. Though, there were spots where I doubted the portrayed feeling, questioning the motives of the characters and their actual goals. Some proved to be a bit too laid back, some too easy to handle.
This is the first time I saw Chang Janine in a drama and I got sold to her quite quickly - she really is incredibly pretty and her acting is good, even though her character was a bit messy at parts.
Overall the story was incredibly good - nothing too much as it is usually found in dramaland, what gave a bit of a real-life-story feeling at certain parts. Yet, there were flaws in the overall storyline, showing gaps that made me confused and even check if I had actually missed an episode or part of an episode as some things just came crashing down out of nowhere.
Yet, the drama proved to be overall a good watch and I don't regret it even if it feels strecthed out at parts.
This is definitely a hit for people that like dramas that don't have super huge villains or explosive out of nowhere tragic situations. It is rather a wishful-thinking story, but it does prove to be realistic enough to be easier to relate to, even if you wouldn't really see the contract-marriage in real life!
