OVERALL Entertaining drama. Watch if 1) You want a light romcom, 2) You like it when the guy is mean to the girl about half of the show, 3) You want to watch one of the most popular shows in Taiwan (was for a long time the drama with the most views while airing). Don't watch if 1) You're vulnerable to the 2nd-lead syndrome, 2) You like strong female leads, 3) You're picky when it comes to humor. THE STORY From the beginning, the story is flawed. It's flawed because of the first encounter between the main leads and the incident that will provoke their ensuing romance. It's definitely, completely and undeniably surreal, making the show lose credibility. However, if you stick to the drama regardless of that flaw and refuse to give up, you'll find yourself entertained. The main leads are not as likeable as other protagonists are, and you might not understand just what attracts them to one another. There's a few loopholes here and there and at times the humor is a bit over the top. But if you're looking for some laughs and a few moving scenes, this drama does the trick. THE ACTING I wasn't amazed by acting in this show, but it wasn't bad. Some supporting actors were quite good (Mei Xiu Lin in the role of the mother and Baron Chen as Dylan, for example). THE MUSIC I don't care about the rest of the OST, there's My Happiness by Jin Xiu Duets, one of my favorite drama songs to date, so I'll just say the music is awsome. REWATCH VALUE I'll watch it again, for sure, but I don't feel an urge to do it right now.
