This was really the first Taiwanese drama I've watched, so I'm not sure if this is normal for them. But I did find it to have a very soap opera style to it. Both the camera work and the plot. I felt like the last 10 episodes were just one silly plot twist after another, solely designed to keep the couple apart until the finale. If they had cut it down to 20 episodes, I think it would have been a 9 easily, even with the dumb stuff. I still enjoyed it for the most part.

The main couple was really cute, and I thought they did a great job with their acting. The points deduction came from the supporting characters. Mainly Wang Kingone - who got the soap opera treatment  in every scene he was in: dramatic music and voice, and Tom Price, who seemed like a rookie actor. I thought that Joseph Chang and Rainie Yang did excellent work, though. The best friend, Mei Leng was overacted quite a bit, and totally played for comedic effect.

I did try to skip over the 2:30ish opening sequence as it lasted way longer than needed. So, the episodes are really only about 35 minutes long probably. There are also little stops in the drama that appear as if they must have commercial breaks, something not done in Korean drama. When they return there is a few seconds of replay from where it stopped. There is also a preview/ending of about 3 mintues at the end. So the episodes run about 43 min, but if you skip the opening and closing, you should get through faster.

Probably won't rewatch this, but I enjoyed Chang and Yang enough that I wouldn't be adverse to watching something else with them.
