Ever since I heard about this drama, I've always wanted to watch this because I have always been a fan of Ady An but her other Chinese works never appealed to me (they're mostly period/wuxia) but this one appealed to me because it's her comeback in the Taiwanese dramaland after her success in Autumn's Concerto;. Moving over to this drama, it was just disappointing in so many levels. One would think, if you have Ady An and Mike He in a feel-good drama, how can it be so bad?! Well, that's what I thought too! I've never watched Mike He in anything before so it was one reason why I chose to watch it as well. I'm pretty sure that I chose the wrong drama to get introduced to him because his acting here didn't make me like him and I felt that his role would've been better if another actor played in it. I didn't have any problems with Ady's acting here because she's really one of the best actresses out there for me. However, even the supporting cast couldn't save this drama. The second female lead was the cliche annoying girl that you'd expect to find in a second lead while the other male leads had nothing special to offer. For the story, it actually had some interesting parts in the beginning and in the latter parts but it just dragged on for so long that I actually couldn't understand what was happening already. It was partly my fault though because I was also busy playing a game in my phone. You just know a drama's not watchable when you've found something else to do haha! I have this habit of downloading my favorite OSTs from the dramas that I've watched but it's just sad that the music here didn't even appeal to me at all. Sometimes the music can save a bad drama but this one unfortunately didn't... I'm pretty sure you already got what I've been trying to say. I didn't like this drama so there's no way for me to rewatch this at all. The drama had so many flashback scenes that they could literally take up the whole episode. I also never thought that there could be something worse than not having kissing scenes... and they are fake kissing scenes! If you get to watch this, you'd totally understand what I'm saying. Overall, I don't recommend this drama and I only gave it an almost passing score for some entertaining and good parts and for Ady An as well. I really felt that so much potential was wasted when the production crew already got some of Taiwan's biggest drama stars in a project but everything else still failed to deliver in the end.
