Yup, I dropped it. I got through 11 episodes. In the end, what made me drop it was Tia. I'm sorry to those Tia fans out there but she really cannot act, at least in this drama. She can do happy scenes, but those scenes that are emotional and require portraying heartbreak? She can't do them. I can withstand some crazy plot lines (sometimes) as long as the cast is really good and they do their best to make the bad story line come to life. But every time I was pulled in by Aaron and interested in the drama again, my interest shatters with Tia's expressionless acting.
This is the best I have seen Aaron. Having to act two characters that are completely different, Aaron was able to pull off two personas very well. His crying scenes were spot on and just so real! It's unfortunate Leo (Jack Lee) was a such an one dimensional character. Seriously. Though Huan Huan's (Beatrice Fang) incessant whining was beyond irritating, I have to give props to Beatrice: she played her role very well. The other characters were averaging from alright to okay. No one really stands out other than Aaron, but even Aaron couldn't carry this drama.
I did like the music though. It was basically almost all Aaron's songs but I didn't get sick of his songs at all. They're super catchy!
Although I didn't finish this drama, I did skim quickly through the rest of the episodes. The Li family debacle was crazy, and that was only through the few minutes I skimmed so I'm glad I didn't have to go through all that. I also skipped ahead to watch the last episode. Honestly? Tia and Aaron look so stiff in the wedding attire and the chemistry is just gone. Tia actually had really good chemistry with Xiao Lu, Lu Tian Xing's alter ego in the first half of the drama. In the end, I really don't recommend this drama but if you must watch it, watch the first half then watch the last episode, then done! (8/6)
