Very sweet

This was a cute storyline and there was very low angst, which I always appreciate. I watched it all in one day, and the time just seemed to fly by. Sweet happy ending, especially at the newsstand.

I really appreciated Simon Chen in his role of pretending to be identical twin brothers. I enjoyed watching his demeanor change from very cold to open and friendly. The only downside is it doesn't look like he's currently in anything else I can watch him in! His assistant trying to help him fix his smile so it looked more natural was cute.

The main couple, for the most part, had good chemistry and I found myself smiling a lot.

The acting of some of the ancillary characters was not so great, but luckily most of the time was spent on the main couple. The one thing that I absolutely did not like was all of her drinking, especially after making such a big deal out of the fact that she can't drink. I mean, who goes to try to apologize and get an interview when they are drunk, anyway?!?! And her drunk crying was really irritating and there was entirely too much of it.

Another thing that I really liked was the fact that this was short, especially compared with most other Chinese shows. There wasn't a lot of time-wasting filler, which made the experience enjoyable.
