Honestly I didn't really enjoy this drama. I have a hard time understanding how this drama was the one of the Top 5 Taiwanese dramas of 2013 due to its amateurish plot and execution. It got to the point where I wanted to give up halfway. The story plot was very unoriginal. I've seen this story set up in the same way too many times. To the drama's credit, it managed to keep all its storylines organized, making it very easy to follow. (Korean movies can learn from this.) Unfortunately, the writers made the scenes too cheesy and too corny for me. I wanted to throw up from all the sappiness present in almost every scene.
Many reviews praised the good acting in this drama. I disagree. I felt that some of the characters, especially the main characters, were over-exaggerating their acting, which contributed to the corniness of the drama. I had high expectations for Aaron, since he has been in the industry for so long and has plenty of acting experience in these type of roles. I have been a Fahrenheit fan since they debuted, so I have followed the development of his career. His acting was really n00b in the drama, especially during the crying scenes. His expressions made him look constipated rather than sad. The whole time I was watching, I saw a struggling Aaron trying to be his character, rather than the character himself.
The only reason I continued because it got a little better halfway, and I wanted to see if this improvement would continue towards the end. Overall, this drama was meh for me. The bad outweighed the good. A younger and newer (to dramas) audience may enjoy this drama, but older and more experienced viewers looking for something more sophisticated will probably be disappointed.
