Mindless Fluff.
‘Suspension of disbelief’ is a strong factor required to watch this drama – and once you've done it, this is quite enjoyable despite it having an absurd story.
A hotel heiress, Jin Zhi Xia, travels abroad and stumbles upon a soothing musician, Lin, whom she immediately falls for. She tells him about enjoying life as if there was no tomorrow and this is exactly what she does – throw herself into apparently a week/month old relationship which comes to and ugly end. The man in question disappears before she can find out her answers.
After an year of fruitless search, she finds him again as a completely new Fu Ze Yi, who has no memories about their encounter. What's more? He was a ruthless opponent who was attempting to buy her hotel, Aizhe, to expand his company.
The Characters:
Together with her cousin, Jin Bu Fan, and her uncle, the trio were some of the most hilarious characters I've seen in such an idol drama. Not only where they the least brightest individuals in the room, they were also comedic and innocent at the most unexpected times. [Someone commended on YT that the drama should be retitled as ‘three idiots run a hotel’, and the more I watched, the more I began to see why one would think so. Both the uncle and Zhi Xia kept making mistake after mistake, possibly because they underestimated who they were dealing with.]
EP12's hospital scene will always be memorable to me due to the sheer hilarity of the situation coupled with the neat acting. Joey Chua was really good.
Though not exactly the best, I have to give credits to the actor who played Fu Ze Yi and Lin - his eyes somehow appeared soft as Lin, and sharper as Fu Ze Yi .
Bonus points to this drama for making me look up Dissociative Identity Disorder – I've heard about it since long, but it turns out that some of the depictions, though over the top, where definitely in line with it. [Conversations with alternate identity, temporary amnesia, etc.]
All in all, a small cookie that can be eaten as a snack. Not deep, just pure entertainment.
