This review may contain spoilers
..... After I read the synopsis, I was like, ''hmmm...... this brings back Fated To Love You''..... Well I guess it really does. Either ways, I like both dramas. FTLY was my first TW-drama ever so.... I kind of hold it in high esteem.
Back to the review, I started this on a whim...... but later on, I was glued to my Laptop!!! Okay...... Song Jie Xiu played by Joseph Chang is quite amazing. Song Jie Xiu is a clean freak, he grew up thinking he wasn't really loved and all (all these feelings of unhappiness and what have you), but now he's all grown up, one of the most amazing Architects...... He has a lousy temper, but kind and affectionate (He's SOOO romantic); and has/had a girlfriend of 7 years, who is a model/actress and quite ambitious.
On the other hand we have Lin Xiao Ru played by Rainie Yang. In my point of view, I think she did a good job also. Lin Xiao Ru was left by her parents, umm mother specifically, and since then she has been moving back and forth from the orphanage to a foster home and back to the orphanage (streets) and now she's all beautiful, has a nice job, and she thought everything was in place. She has this extremely bubbly image, this image of hers earned her the nickname Wild Mountain Boar. She's really too nice!!!! And can go lengths to help those she loves. Between, I thought like poles don't attract ~confused~
Well, both Song Jie Xiu and Lin Xiao Ru were in for a surprise, they met briefly and that meeting was ONE of a KIND, then they met again.... It looked as if they were ''fated'' for each other. Their worlds sort of turned upside down, which was really wonderful. Due to some personal issues they had to stay married for 3 months. Well...... I don't know about you, but if it was me, I will NOT partake in such outrageous scheme. As we all know, everything and anything can happen in dramaland.
They stayed married, got to know MORE and MORE about each other, they became source of strength and happiness to each other...... to shorten the whole story they fell in love with other, but at the same time, they wanted to keep to the stupid contract. Song Jie Xiu's ex-gf wouldn't also leave the two be. Things got messy and somewhat complicated, but in the long run, through persistence,
natural and supernatural occurrences everything sorted itself out.
I learnt a lot form this drama......
1. Don't ever partake in marriage contracts, it never does any of the parties good.
2. Don't become a slave to your past; it enslaves one, which causes fear and makes one make the stupidest decisions.
3. Taking what belongs to others..... isn't a good idea
4. You need to know if you the other person is/ is still in love with you, if it's not your own wild imagination..... Also, clarify if you are in the friend zone or not.... that should be the first step.
5. Don't mistake someone's kindness for stupidity or foolishness..... When the person notices (which happens, after a huge blow has been dealt), I don't think there's anything that can be done about it.
6. You need to make a decision.... Love or Ambition/career??
This drama is a amazing and the other cast didn't fall short of expectation, it's filled with COMEDY and the ROMANCE kills it all. There are some awesome lines also (You will find some of them below ). At first you might not like Joseph Chang, but after some eps..... You would fall in love with him. The drama is also well-paced, plus the story and plots were WONDERFULLY interwoven!!!...... I love the OSTs also....The end was one hella end!!!!!!
Awesome lines: Between I won't mention who and to whom.....
Between, if you think lines contain spoilers, then don't bother going further.
- “He has no right to take your future and bury it together with the dead love.”
- “If there’s no trust, there’s no friendship.”
- “If you want to continue avoiding me, that is your choice. I won’t intervene. So, you don’t have the right to intervene with my choices, and that is I’ve decide to love you, and let you fall in love with me.”
Lets stop here lol!!!
