I have to admit - Jasper Liu was the main reason why I continued watching the show. He played his character very well, Ke Huan, a male lead that was so earnest and consistent in his feelings for the female lead. Of course his charms, good looks, dimples and amazing smile were all major attractions that kept pulling me back.
I found the female lead, Wei Wei, irritating for the first 7 episodes mainly because she was so lacking in self awareness and self reflection. Her character was a little inconsistent in the sense that she came across as being strong-minded and can stand up for herself especially with the male lead, yet during crucial moments, she acted all wimpy.
It was after she stopped acting so prideful and began to accept a friendship with the male lead when I started to enjoy the show properly. Otherwise it was too much feeling of wanting to shake some sense into the female lead.
The storyline was very interesting to me. I think the trailer is misleading since it implies cheating. If you watch the show, you’ll find a different plot line. I love how the two leads ultimately still did the ‘right’ thing after struggling against their true desires.
Some may not like the ending as much but I find it satisfying and left me feeling happy for the leads.
I have to also applaud the supporting cast especially the best friend of the female lead. Ke Fei is the kind of friend I want to be and want to have!!!
