Better than most WeTV shorts but still B-rate

I enjoyed the storyline and even the acting (although worse than a higher budget C-drama) until the final episode. I think the introduction of a kid was totally unnecessary, and frankly, these two didn't look old enough to have a five year old. I also think a five year separation was overkill, and tell me, how could his eyes still be healing after FIVE years? But that's what he said at the end. Also, if you're eyes aren't fully healed 1) why are you driving and 2) why aren't you wearing glasses? Little details like that just didn't make sense. It's clearly a 'short' C-drama, but it needed to be paced better so the ending wasn't so rushed and unsatisfactory. Yeah, they got back together, but it seemed too easy after five years, he didn't show much shock at being a daddy and he just gave her back the necklace rather than saying 'I love you, let's get married'.

The love rival apparently plays the b**** role well since she played a similar role in 'Love Starts From Marriage'. Can't miss that blonde hair.

I felt ML was rather stiff at times, but he was a better kisser than a lot of Chinese MLs. There actually looked as though there was some passion involved. His acting skills were ok, but I don't expect to see him playing ML in any high budget C-drama anytime soon. As for FL, I liked her better than a lot of these 'short' FLs because she didn't look or dress like a tramp/femme fatale. She looked ordinary with limited make-up and her hair in a messy bun. I really hate the FLs with the bright red lipstick, stiletto heels and long hair, not to mention the short shorts with a baggy suit coat. They look so trampy. Sorry - that's just the way they appear to me.

I liked Cheng Mu and wished he'd gotten the girl, but alas, he was cast in the role of SML who goes away frustrated and lonely.

It's an acceptable little drama to watch when you're bored and want something quick and easy to watch.
