Everything Depends Upon Fate

As every other reviews state, the story was rather simple but I would not call it a cliched one. This drama was meant to be the fluffy kind where audiences get the warm fuzzy feeling with little to no tissue rate and I would say that this is not meant for everyone. For one, it's too smooth with the fate card being played at least 10 times; it could be considered that the male couples met each other due to the so-called "fate"

There were a lot of things that I did not like when I finished watching this show but the warmth from it was still in my heart, making me feel like this is what an ideal relationship would be in fairy tales where the lead couples were perfect at everything they did. Even the relationship was meant to set an example for others and yet again, they made the male lead the almighty perfectionist whereas the Female lead was portrayed as rather plain but not in a typical way though. Plus, I would definitely not believe that a celebrity's life could be that simple where they could roam around in the streets with their boyfriend without anyone even noticing and some of the scenes were rather ridiculous but the pacing of the story was an average sort.
They definitely wanted to add layers in the story but failed.

The first thing that I loved was the amazing costumes and the awesome use of lighting in the set. The female lead being a singer, her costumes were like the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in dramas (other than certain Chinese males leads of course) and the costumes suited her really well and added a plus point to that fairy tale setting. Moreover, the OST's in this show was stunning and with this being a show revolving around singing, I believe that they were portrayed that nicely. There were scenes where I got goosebumps after hearing Liang Chen singing, it was that good. And on the plus note, there were no such villains ruining the life of the characters. Ahhaa! Who would not want this sort of life?

However, I prefer realistic dramas and even till the last episode, I had hope for this show. It's weird how I liked the simplistic part of the show and also hated it for being that way. Other than the warmy fuzz and admiration for the female lead who faced everything headstrong, this drama did not manage to give me any other feeling but there many details that I liked about this and would recommend it to anyone who is into a typical romantic story with great chemistry.
