Outstanding drama and actors, beautiful romantic situations
If someone would have told me I could become engrossed in a drama concerning Korean learning academies, I would have laughed off my fool head. Not only was I engrossed; I didn't want it to end. The LF and LM were a 100 on a scale of 10. The main support actors were a 95 on a scale of 10. My favorite episode (#8) was when the LF and her best friend were drinking and talking together privately in the Victorious Room at the academy where the FL taught. I will rewatch that episode numerous times because the course of the conversation was so naturally and well acted I forgot I was watching a drama. Episode 8 was pivotal to fully understand and identify with the FL.I became fascinated with the issues involving Korean learning academies and am now determined to delve into the why's, who's, and how's introduced in this drama.
I loved every moment of this drama!

Definitely watchable and re-watchable.
This drama was well acted, not only by the MLs, but the supporting roles as well. One supporting actor especially caught my attention; He Ze Yuan. I enjoyed the other supporting actors, but He Ze Yuan played his role with a level of sincerity I have rarely seen.The role reversal concept was oddly successful without diminishing or reversing the MLs' genders. In addition, the age gap between the MLs was well handled and believable. The OST was beautiful, especially "Upside Down". I will definitely watch this again.

Powerful drama and impressive acting
Zhu Ya Wen's acting was so incredible in this powerful drama, it is hard to find one negative thing to say about him. Even though the end of this drama was oddly over rushed in comparison to the prior episodes, overall the story and acting made up for the tepid ending. The scenery was often breathtaking. The OST couldn't have been better. Zhu Ya Wen carried the FL throughout the drama, the four second leads were all excellent (especially Mike He Jun as Lei Shuo, Sui Yong Liang as Feng Long, and Qin Bo Kun as Wu Feng Yu) , and many more of the remaining support cast stood out. The English-speaking actors were probably the least attractive and effective actors, so much so the drama could have easily done without them.Was this review helpful to you?
