Worthwhile for Dew fans
As someone who fell in love with Dew from F4, didn't get enough of him in Magic of Zero (too short) or Home School (too little spotlight), this is what I was waiting for: Dew starring in his own romance drama.Was initially unsure how I'd feel from reviews about weak acting or storyline. But personally, I found it delightful to watch how Dew's skills are expanding. His character retains some Ren-esque moments of gentle reassurance and wisdom, but also exhibits leadership and competence. Some might find the self-absorbed, childish traits annoying, but to me it was cute and entertaining.
As for story, I never watched the original, and didn't have rigorous expectations regarding plot, just for it to not suck. Which it didn't. The premise didn't initially pique my interest, however the series had enough variables and turns to keep it engaging. Kao is also a talented and versatile actress, always captivating to watch. Mostly, I appreciate that the conflicts didn't center on romantic rivals, exes, or love triangles, and that more time was spent on external obstacles (the couple had to confront together), rather than internal strife between the two. Which just amounts to more happy/heartwarming Dew couple moments than sad/angry ones--basically everything I wanted.
