Good story but draggy second half
My oversimplified review
STORY: The initial story line is good but the misunderstandings could have been cleared up way sooner than was shown in the drama. Great character development in Wang Xi Yi, Chen Jia Xin, Wang Zhen Ren, Leanne Liu, and Di Lun (Dylan). I applaud the story for emphasizing the loss of a child and its effects (emotionally) on parents, something I often don’t see talked about especially in Chinese media.
EXECUTION: Chemistry between the leads was perfect. Main couple gets together ep 19/36 (and later in ep36/36). Plenty of laughable moments, especially from Anson. Wang Zhen Zhu (grandmother/chairwoman) was one of the best characters from the drama. Music fit the scenes well (蜗牛的愿望-印子月 and 哎呀爱 Ai Ya Ai -李俊毅 were my favorites). My main gripe with the show is that the second half of the drama was a draggy and Shi Anna (possessive ex) drove me nuts. I rarely fast forward shows, but this one was an exception as I found myself putting the drama between 1 and 6x speed for some scenes.
OVERALL: Good story line involving a one night stand, love triangle, family, and the loss of a pregnancy but has an extremely draggy second half.
