Story: The story line is very clichéd and overused, But I don't mind that. Never have. If a story is well acted, well executed and so adorable on so many levels, I will not be the sad Panda, who ruins everyone's day by saying "Hurr hurr, I say that people who makes dramas these days simply have NO sense of ORIGINALITY! Hoo hoo hoo! (insert Hat, Monocle and fancy mustache here)No but in all seriousness i had absolutely no problem with writers doing their own twist on a used story line.
Acting: Wu Chun is hot. And i have a very non-homosexual chick boner for Rainie Yang. Just putting it out there. And Wu Chun is hot. Also they're really good actors. And Wu Chun is hot. And they portrayed the characters really well. And did i mention that Wu Chun is supermegafoxyawesomehot?
Music: I grew up with Boney-M so my opinion is biased, but I've gotta admit; that song puts a smile on my face, and that smile is like ye big (If you could see me right now, i'm doing a hand gesture which represents my large smile)
Rewatch Value: I've already rewatched it four times. Need i say anymore?
So overall; if you like the stereotypical romantic-comedy drama,and generous amounts of cuteness, then you will like Sunshine Angel.

Sunshine Angel is a romantic story which follows the life of a young rich boy who unexpectedly falls in love with someone he wouldn't even bother to give a secound look to normally.. This story, Starring Rainie Yang and Farenheit's Wu Chun as the lead roles takes on the every day issues about the man who has it all, Unexpectedly then to lose everything previously valued to him before he met the girl of his dreams. I'll leave this review spoilerless..Di Ya Xin is a young male who has it all.. He was born into a wealthy family and has friends and is the general director of a company of his own left behind after his parents death. Everything seems to go well for him, Until he takes a trip to Japan while skydiving. Falling towards the ground with a parachute who seems to be broken, Only to be saved by falling into the small bathroom of a young girl named Yokou (Yang Guang). Yokou is a girl with a far different background. Her parents are professional scammers who take money from people and usually leaves her behind to deal with the issues of cleaning up after them. Some people's finally had it with her parents behavior and demands for her to pay them back all the money her parents stole from them. With no chance of paying back they employ her with a job in Taiwan as a Maid of a young man.. This man, The same man who broke her bathroom. As Di Ya Xin slowly falls in love with Yang Guang and decides to give her his all, There are someone in his company who are trying to take all that he truly owns and cherish away from him. As the story develops you'll see Love, Drama, Proverty.. Along with lots of unexpected twists not expected.
The drama has a really good soundtrack, I Love nearly each and every song in the ost.. The songs are placed into the right scenes so I can't complain of the timing.
I'd really recommend this story to everyone, The story won't progress quite as expected. But I won't lie to you guys.. Despite of loving the main characters acting inside of this drama, It left me with a huge 2nd lead syndrome for Zhang Junning.. (Geng Fei)

Parts of the story are realistic, and parts are unbelievable. I have never skipped a part in any drama (i must be a serious masochist), but I very nearly came close to skipping parts in this show. After about five episodes the story lags, and the drama and angst begins. When I got through episode 17, I seriously questioned why I was still watching. The answer is that after you've gone so far, you might as well stick around for the ending (which is worth it. Episode 21 is probably the best.)
The actors were great.
Rainie's acting has never disappointed in a role, and she's very cute in this. Cute, but the character was still one of those blithe, brainless roles that lead to snarky comments about her character. In fact, Yang Guang's character really made me want to hit something because her character was too naive, even though her parents are con-artists. (this would be a writer's flaw, not an acting flaw)
Wu Chun. Where to start? If you like him, this show is eye candy. His character is believable, and his performance is lovely.
Angela (Liu Zi Yan) and Geng Fei (Zhang Jun Ning) were delightfully despicable, so despicable that it's almost hard to pity them. Almost. Job well done.
The music fit the mood, as it typically does in drama. None of it really stuck in my head afterward. Possibly because the drama's angst was so high, I needed to just forget about the show for periods of time before I could go back to watching. I didn't like the theme song.
What it comes down to is how much you can stand the pain of the tragedy and hardships and the frustrations caused by some characters' dumb decisions.
If you love a good villain, you'll like this show. If you love Rainie and/or Wu Chun, you'll probably watch this show.
Don't expect a lot of fanservice, but the scenes you will see as the relationship develop are rather sweet.
(i really want to spoil part of the end, but i won't. if/when you get to ep 22.. just.. just don't be surprised. i literally facepalmed.)

ACTING: Wu Chun, what can I say.............ummmm............ well he's cute, HOT, good acting, hot, and HOT. I couldn't handle his hotness, every time he would smile or laugh I would scream and faint. Rainie Yang is one of my favorite actors, I even watched all her dramas and personally I think she's very pretty. Wu Chun and Rainie's acting are top notch, they have so much chemistry in the drama that they make all the scenes they do together so cute and you can't help yourself from screaming and think that you were one of them. In conclusion in finishing the drama, I fell in Wu Chun.
MUSIC: I think the music was pretty good, especially the theme song.
REWATCH VALUE: I'd totally watch all over again and skip all the scenes that i didn't like. I mean come one I pretty much watch a drama because of the romance and not because of all the evilness of the villain

The story line is too poor. They were dragging the story to make it to 22 episodes that's why the pace of the drama is too slow and I find it boring during the halfway of the drama.
Also, the actress who was acting Angela is too stiff!!!!! CANNOT ACT AT ALL!!!!!! Also, the parents of Yang Guang is too selfish and doesn't even make sense. Wu Chun character is interesting at first but then I find it horrible halfway through the drama. His character is too damn slow to make a move for the company. There were many scenes that is not necessary at all. Like I said they were dragging the drama for too long. The story is too predicable and very shallow.

The relationship between Yang Guang and Ya Xin didn't attract me as much as the friendship between Ya Xin and Geng Fei. I was so touched at the last episode when Ya Xin went to see Geng Fei and forgave him. And as despicable as Geng Fei is, I felt really sorry for him. His love for Angela knows no bounds.
Given that, the cast was good and so was the acting. Wuzun's acting really improved and haha, his chinese too:) Still room for improvement, of course. And the rest of the Fahrenheit guest-starring was a big plus for the show!:) Aaron's as cute as ever
