A Mish Mash of themes
The story was a mish mash of a lot of different themes: romance, drama, business. I was prepared to watch 36 episodes of cute fluffy romance but wasn’t so. Despite some parts which I felt that it could have done without, there were enjoyable moments throughout the series. I just really felt it took so long until they finally got together….and then you start getting your fluff, but because it was 36 episodes long, it became somewhat anti-climactic for me from the “after….” part. All in all good outweighs the wish-they-just-dropped-this scenes.
Yuan Shuai – he was the character I liked best in this show. Though I think he was too nice to Jiang Jun. I would have liked for him to have shown more anger especially when she was acting up. He just gave in too easily. Because I like Leo Luo I took it personal when somebody does something bad to him LOL. To be honest, he was mostly why I was able to get through the initial episodes. He was such a treat to the eyes every time he came on screen. His mannerisms, expressions, just the way her moves – LIKE! Oh and he has really nice hands too
Jiang Jun – I know she loves Yuan Shuai but there were a lot of times when I thought she was selfish and took Yuan Shuai for granted. Also the supposed naïve side of her not knowing Du Lei liked her for all these years just was just too much. I also do not recall anywhere in the drama where she did something for Yuan Shuai that would have told me that “Yes, she loves Yuan Shuai as much as he loves her.” Everything was just about her.
Du Lei – I actually liked the Du Lei character. Yes, he was evil and nice – you have to watch the drama to know what I mean. I do think that we could have done without the Jiang Jun obsession towards the end of the series. It would have been nice if: that he liked her, he was already rejected around the middle part of the series and then he and Yuan Shuai had this frenemy kind of relationship. It was actually nice to see their relationship at that stage, their bantering were funny and cute.
Li Xiao Chuan and Xu Li – I can’t quite make anything with this couple. I wasn’t feeling anything, they were just there as the best friend and the cousin.
Qiao Na and Jia Yuan Ji – I was rooting more for this couple, cute that Jia Yuan Ji finally after two years…..
