I really didn't want to like this drama, and before everyone hates me for that statement, its because one of the things I hate to admit the most is the fact that I am a crazed, obsessed, fan girl. Its sad, and I've hidden that fact well from those who know me in person, but its true. There were a lot of things that I didn't like about this drama, but watching it from beginning to end, (I must note the only reason I kept going was to watch Choi Siwon)I really liked it. The acting was good, considering the circumstances (Choi Siwon and Lee Donghae are not fluent in Mandarin and their parts were dubbed, not to my taste at that) and I have to say that I really enjoyed watching Ivy Chen's performance, though at times I wanted to strangle her character. And of course, Bianca Bai, who I was pleased to say was awesome in this drama. I enjoyed watching the relationships progress in this drama, granted the circumstances were not realistic, but the progression of the relationships was. What I didn't like was more that technical stuff, like the fact that there was way too much internal dialogue for the characters and they said a lot of things that seemed obvious, but that's a common thing for Taiwanese dramas, and I did fast forward through a lot of the flashback scenes. There were way too many. The OST was awesome, I didn't really understand the title song and how it fit into the drama, even with translation, until the end, which you have to watch to find out. As for my re-watch rating, I don't tend to re-watch dramas, hence the 1.
