To be honest I have mixed feelings about this drama. The first episodes were soooo good and I was anticipating how the story would evolve. But somewhere around the middle it started dragging too much. The ending was also quite hurried. But what I liked about this drama was that it was done kind of slice of life -style and main leads had good chemistry. At first when they presented Shan Shan's character I cringed because I though "oh no, again dumb lead who acts overly cute." But after couple episodes I was melted by Shan Shan's cuteness and positive attitude. The actress is really a pro. I'm afraid same can't be said from our male lead. Feng Teng is eye candy, but the actor couldn't quite convey the feelings of this character. Sure, Feng Teng has cold personality and he doesn't easily show emotions but when the actor needed to represent deeper emotions I felt something lacking. However a total plus is that he could act jealousness really well and I was laughing out loud at his cute silliness in various scenes. Side roles were enjoyable too. I didn't like Li Shiu's character from when she arrived to the picture but she started growing on me and I found myself cheering for her in the end. A definite plus is that main leads mostly dealt with everyday problems of a normal couple and there weren't any specific villains and overboard damsel in distress acting from Shan Shan. And I liked ending and opening, they really convey the feeling of this drama which is warm and positive. Overall, a great romance drama about old subject; poor girl falling in love with rich man. There wasn't any terrible cliche scenes and main leads romance was funny and sweet.
