Is this the real life is it just fantasy... Yep It´s complicated....
There are those who write fantasy scripts and then there is Chi Feng Chien whose writing is a completely different level of writing though I do have a few issues (ill get back to those) that take a way a few stars the OST, Twists and over all brilliance of this drama makes up for it.
The story is this amazing mix of suspense, spirituality, romance, ETHICS, religion, insanity, culture, environmental awareness, nature... and relevant issues that reflect upon the times. Incorporating elements that remind us of the daily struggles of the early 2020s without letting any part take over. I am nether spiritual or religious and could probably classify as team science... and will admit that it did get a bit to spiritual for my taste at times but over all it was well balanced and by the end of it I came to appreciate those elements as well. I dare say this complete mess is actually pretty well balanced in a way I think only Chi Feng Chien can achieve, because it does have a lot of elements and it does get messy yet stays simple at the same time... while adding touches of humour here and there.
The twist are about 90% unpredictable, the music is just so well fitted and takes part in some pretty amazing scene, not to mention the great cinematography... oh and the relationships are just so sweet. The characters (including side characters) are lovable most of the time, they have all kinds of interesting development that goes all over the place and all but a few scenes show great acting skills. Also the way they incorporate Greg Hsu is just so perfect bringing smiles to who ever has ever seen that guy...
When watching do make sure not to miss the post credit scenes, they may not always be necessary but they are mostly really fun and will add that little extra dash of glitter to make you enjoy this even more.
There is one twist/side character that is a person in need of a heart, the way this was handled really bothered me on several levels, among them the plain miss information about heart transplants that she talked about. So do not take what she said as a truth. They did also show her as a human that is more than just a patient which is a + and there was a voice of reason among the annoying scenes surrounding this, but it still bothered me.
The other thing that bothered me was some over acting by a few side characters, had it not been for these two this would have been a clear 10 star drama and made it up among my favorites.
There are also some confusing parts that may remind you of the intro to Queens Bohemian Rhapsody... lots and lots of rain and umbrellas... So do not trust the tittle... there will ofcourse come a time when the rain stops, but most of drama will show you scenes of rain and umbrellas. lots and lots of umbrellas in all shapes, sizes and colors... but what do you expect when the main character is the god of rain... By the way the main couple also goes thru being sweet, wett, cold and everything in between...
All in all this definitely a drama I recommend you to watch.
