What a rare gem! One of those shows that I passed over countless times while wading through other more hyped dramas. This gave me an abundance of laughs and feels! Also my trademark lingering fondness for the "world" and characters which I attribute to the best shows. I didn't see this as purely comedic value as there were plenty more of my favorite dishes served, DRAMA, EMOTIONAL TURMOIL, BROMANCE. What a delightful watch, of course I will be rewatching!
Jack Lok really helped to make this drama for me. I had never heard of him until he appeared as a side character in I've Fallen for You but that series didn't show his acting off like Drama King. Zhao Qing Feng's long, steady, melancholy gazes stole the show. I loved the cold and sarcastic older brother with a hidden heart of gold meets adorkable, righteous and naive younger brother. The constant back and forth of betrayal/guilt/brotherly bonds is enough to keep me glued to my phone for a two day marathon.
Is it the best drama in terms of this or that professional ratings? No. But, frankly, I do not care. Emotional investment in the characters is everything to me.
