Crazy but it's not too bad

One set of twins with different personalities. Two love stories. Yep this is again one of those stories where a twin pretends to be the other.

For about half the series, the shy twin (XiaoMu) needed to pretend to be the popular twin (YaoMengrui) who had an accident. The show then went ballistic upon the return of the popular twin. Audience now has to guess which twin is playing who. Though drama show that the twins clearly loved each other, misunderstandings made them doubt each other. It was only when all lies were finally exposed that they were able to have a better relationship and hope for better futures.

I particularly enjoyed the love stories of each twin. There were many times that both ML and SML seemed robotic in their acting but I can ignore all that because Zheng He Hui Zi had such great chemistries with both her leading men. I must be crazy because I found the popular twin's crazy love story more interesting. I also liked YaoMengrui more despite her dubious and calculating character. I know that she tried to harm XiaoMu but she believed that XiaoMu had hurt her first. She hides her insecurity behind confidence and aggressiveness but beneath her sarcasm and seeming indifference was her caring nature that's shown to only a few people.

I don't know why but despite it's cliches and almost predictable but still crazy story, I really loved this drama.
