As I'm writing this, I'm currently at episode 8, waiting for episode 9 to air.
I know I should've waited until all the episode were aired but I couldn't wait to write a review anymore. Before I'm going to explain to you why I'm giving this drama such an high rating, I just want to say that this is my first Taiwanese drama that I have ever watched and I'm glad I did! I really don't know how to put this drama in to words. I don't want to exaggerate it by saying to much but I also don't want to left any important information out. Let's just get right into it.
Story
It's an 13 eps drama and every episode has a duration of about 1h 13 min. When I read the summary I thought the whole storyline is predictable but don't let that fool you because even I was sitting on the edge of my seat to see what would happen next. It's 13 eps so there are no fillers because every single detail has to fall into the right places. Those 1h 13 min goes by way faster than expected hahaha. The character developments is clear and you can understand their decisions and thoughts. To keep it short, I completely understand that it's not everyone's cup of tea. It's an mature story (compared to other dramas) but it's funny, cute and definitely entertaining at the same time. It's an realistic story, this means that the ending is still unpredictable and it could be the other way around. As I'm writing this, I don't know the ending yet but everything happens for a reason and you and I have to patiently wait and see what would occur.
For the people who still have to watch, don't let those negative comments stop you from watching because it's really worth the try. It's not to late to hop on this roller coaster with me and thousand others who are still watching!
Acting/Cast
Everyone portrays they're characters so well. From the colleague at their job to the waiter at a restaurant, everything felt so natural. You could really feel their pain and anger but also their joy and happiness. The chemistry between the handsome Jasper Liu and the gorgeous Puff Kuo is so amazing. I'm glad the director chose them to portray Zhou Wei Wei and Chu Ke Huan in this drama. You could really feel the connection between each other and the way they would handle things will give you a bright smile. When you unconsciously hate an character in a drama, you can already tell that the acting is perfect. And believe me on this, you definitely will hate and be annoyed by some people hahaha.
Music
The music fits very well on every scene. I unfortunately can't understand Taiwanese myself, but that definitely won't be a problem. I have searched for the lyrics and it actually really suits the storyline. You won't even notice the music because it's so natural how they have put the scene with an specific OST.
Rewatch Value
Even though I'm still at episode 8, I will definitely watch this again after finishing. It's 13 eps so I can guarantee you that there are no fillers or any unnecessary parts. I really wanted it to be more episodes but we just have to wait and see how this drama will end. 10/10 as I have given.
