I actually forgot that Liu Shi Shi and Tong Da Wei are already married to their significant celebrity other in real life cuz they were so adorable and cute together as a romantic couple in this drama!!! At first their pairing seemed odd to me, but gradually their chemiztry manifested itself. Despite the looming presence of death (sickness / suicides); the constant push-and-pull, going on in circles,& convolutedness of the relationship among the three main leads; the childhishness, the incredulity, and the highly annoying pathologic God complex and victim complex of some characters, I believe it is still possible to enjoy watching this drama. There are plenty of sweet and funny moments; wonderful piano music; and some life lessons. It touched on touchy topics like domestic abuse and mental illness. I liked that it teaches that love should be built on trust, among other things. That money can't buy love, peace, or happiness. And that despite the harshness of life, one should still earnestly seek to play the hand he or she is dealt with with peace and strength because as long as one is alive there will always be hope.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

A little draggy and melodramatic (as expected of lakorns). Nonetheless, you'll be in for a treat cuz of the great chemistry between Bee Namthip and promising young actor Film Thanapat. Nice life-lessons by Aruna and Wasin's psychotherapist-mom. Ironically, there's incomplete resolution for Marie Broenner's Kanya cuz she clearly exhibited some psychological issues. That's my only bone to pick and perhaps the less sweet moments or screen time between Aruna and Wasin cuz of Aruna's protracted indecision in the matters of the heart.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

If you're watching this drama without expecting romance too much, I think you're going to enjoy it as much as I did. I have watched it from an impartial perspective cuz it was my first time watching the key actors. Angelababy has amazing chemistry with both Deng Lun and Zhu Liyong. If she isn't married, I'll be shipping her with Deng Lun. hehehehehe They look adorable together!! The downsides of this drama besides the less focus on the romance aspect; its dragginess, are too much focus on the subplots (I esp. hated the sets of hellish parents in this drama!!); the tiring and annoying lover's quarrels between Fu Xiaoning and Xi Shan; and . . .the shameless product placements!! harhar
On the positive, I liked how the growth and transformation of the characters have been shown. I liked the enthusiastic and fresh portrayal of the budding real estate biz in Shanghai. Also, I liked how the drama correctly portrayed 1) the real estate concerns of people from all walks of life and 2) the operation of the toxic patriarchy esp. in the family dynamics. Most of all, I liked the lessons taught in the drama such as:
a) Optimism, faith in one's self, patience, and hard work are essential to success.
b) Love can't be rushed or forced. And it grows specially beautiful if it's nurtured by friendship and trust.
c) ''To err is human, to forgive, divine'' (per Shao Peng Cheng's words). and
d) The application of the principles of business ethics.

What I best liked in this drama are:
1) Great chemistry between Thanapob and Fern.
2) Intense acting from the antagonists most esp. the veteran actress who played Sida Litinatgoson.
What I dislike in this drama are:
1) Too much violence and extremely violent characters. The major male characters are dickbags. While the women antagonists are painted very viciously.
2) Lack-luster acting from Fern. This is bad considering she has great chemistry with Thanapob.
3) Cliched storyplot.
