Great Great Drama + Great Great Cast

One of the best dramas I've seen in a long time. Peter Sheng and Sandra Ma showed great chemistry throughout the entire drama. It was as if the parts were written just for them. I passed this drama up several times before finally deciding to give it a shot and its storyline and cast went above and beyond my expectations. In many scenes I laughed until I cried. I will definitely watch it more than once. I enjoyed every episode although midway the main characters weren't seen as much as I would have liked. The other cast members were outstanding in their parts and made the drama one that will be in my top 5 for years to come. Don't miss out on this one. From beginning to end it doesn't fail to entertain except that the ending could have been better written. I wish they would have shown them still young enjoying their children more after all the conflict between the different clans had ended and they could enjoy married life together. I still loved it and highly recommend it.

I’ve watched this drama more than once and don’t tire of it. Zhao Shuran and Zhu Yanmanzi were the perfect couple for the leads and the supporting cast was well chosen. The main characters played their rolls so convincingly you can feel the emotions they go through. Too many reviews are comparing this drama to the novel. In doing so they are doing themselves a great dis-service. I have not read the novel so I’m able to view the story without a preconceived notion of how it should be played. Zhao Shuman is handsome but showed no arrogance and was not a narcissist. I felt he played a very humble roll. Zhu Yanmanzi was the perfect choice as the plain but highly intelligent admirer carrying the unrequited affection for him. I will watch this drama a few more times before moving on to another but will keep it in my thoughts as a sweet love story.

A Plot with a different Twist

This was a very lovely drama that I started watching a couple of times and was finally quite happy with it when I finally saw it through. We have a family member who stuttered from when he could first mouth words and through high school. It can be a very frustrating disability. Fortunately, he outgrew his and is now a middle school principal. This drama handled it quite well and accurately. The protagonists had such great chemistry. You couldn't help but love both of them. They had an air of naivety and in their own way expressed it in two totally different ways, one like a child and the other with a bit of anger adolescence. I've completed watching it but will watch it again as soon as I'm finished with this review because it is such a short drama and I enjoyed it so much the first time. I always write my reviews before reading others because I don't want to be influenced by other's feelings. I honestly don't care if someone liked a drama or disliked it. After all that's why we were given minds of our own. I hope you give it a shot and get some enjoyment out of it.

Okay story to watch once

This would have been a much better story without the female lead. She went from being a fan to being a stalker in the first three episodes and then just continued throughout the drama. It got so I had to either mute her lines or just fast forward. She was so annoying. She talked like a toddler. She was supposed to be a high school student. There were just too many scenes when she appeared where she shouldn't have been; like running onto the court when Lu Xia got hurt.; or talking to the captain of the team about Lu Xia being a regular member of the team. And wanting him to put on his team uniform when he would be wearing soon for practice or a match. She pouted like a child until he gave in. He couldn't turn a corner without her lurking there. I know this is all about entertainment and fantasy, but it really got to be too much. A little common sense is not a bad thing either.

She was the coaches' niece, so she obviously knew better. I've watched the anime version numerous times and never get tired of it. The female protagonist in the anime comes off as cute and likeable. She remained behind the scenes more but was still a large but not overbearing part of the story.

The remaining cast was OUTSTANDING. It was really a wonderful group of young handsome men who shined with their acting skills. One thing that was a little bit annoying about the male protagonist was that he was constantly drinking a sweet soda (looked like Fanta) throughout. My teeth hurt just watching him guzzle down those soft drinks one after another. If it were the real deal his teeth would have possibly rotted out before the end of the filming of this drama. But he played his character well and delivered a really good performance. The coach, the dad, and all the other characters and tennis teams were really fun to watch, and they gave great performances.

Finally bear in mind that this is my own honest take on this production. You may not agree and that's okay. I respect your opinion and hope that you in turn can respect mine. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!!!!

Great story line..Great music..Great chemistry

I totally enjoyed this drama. The acting was great made so by the chemistry between Luigi Zhang and Han Jing Cheng. The entire cast did a great job in portraying their characters. The music was so enjoyable to listen to and so befitting the story line. I sincerely hope that we can witness more great performances by these fairly new actors Luigi Zhang and Han Jing Cheng in the future. I understand that this drama isn't everyone's "cup of tea" so to speak. I respect their opinions and reviews and hope that they in turn can respect my feelings towards this drama. I've watched it several times and never tire of it.

I really did love the story line and I liked it enough to watch a 2nd time. However, the female lead was really not the right person for that roll. She was cold and stiff and next to Yang Yang didn't seem to really put her heart into the romance. She may as well been kissing a brick. Also the actress playing the part of Arsie was beyond annoying. The remaining cast was outstanding especially Yang Yang who really did such a great job it made me wonder if he wasn't a true computer scholar. I've since watched the Love 020 movie and thought it was really well done considering it was up against a 30 episode series done in an hour and a half. Both the male and female leads did an outstanding job in their rolls. I wish they had made it a little longer.

Great Story Great Music

I thoroughly enjoyed this drama so much I've watched it more than once. There is ALWAYS room for improvement in any drama and sure there were some instances that were not thought out. But these instances are enough for me to rate it lower than a 10. Probably the music was my favorite part of the drama. It is my understanding that SOLO diid the OST for this drama and I can surely understand why. KAO also did an excellent vocalization. I think Phuri was my favorite character. He finally came out of his shell long enough to show he was capable of love. The painting he left for KAO was so touching.
