Reason to like this drama:
The reason I got into Cdrama most of their shows have great character development and th story flow is on point. This series is no different. The character development is well made and outlined. If you compare this to the other versions e.g. Taiwan and Korean the love story in this version isn't a "sudden" or a rush occurrence. The flow of how the characters fell in love and the overall attitude of the people around them are more realistic than the other versions which is why I like this version more.
The Mediocre things about the drama: the acting for me is alright. It wasn't bad but not award winning either. The most heart wrenching scene didn't impact me as much as the other versions did. Not sure if it was the acting or the way the director portrayed the whole scene that it didn't impact me so much.
Disappointing things about the drama: the ending feels rushed. The way the ML and FL found out the truth about their misunderstanding was just "meh". That was the most annoying thing for me - it was simply an unrealistic scene. Like no confrontation, no realistic portrayal of such a huge revelation and most all the 2nd FL suddenly just accepted that she can't force love whereby for the past 3 years she has been selfish and greedy. She didn't had an ounce of guilt to what she did and the outcome of her actions and in a second she had a changed of heart?!
The 1st 24episodes are the most well developed and well written for me hence I sat down and watch it without hitting the 10 second fast forward button.
