when after finishing a drama it leaves you with a warm and fuzzy feeling like on a cold wnter morning waking up with a happy dream you know u've just marathoned through one AWESOME drama!
The plot sounds pretty cliched and has been exhausted plenty times in other dramas with the cold guy falling for our sweet hearted heroine but this one drama actually reinvents itself in many ways.
The story is pretty nicely planned out and we actually can guess where its going(no surprise there..:D) but somewhere along the way we stop analysing or using our brains while watching a drama but this one is actually pretty complex in some ways.
I LOVED how Mike He played the main guy.He's not polished in his acting even after many years(can already hear the girls screaming..) but frankly here i would say he did a good job.He's easy on the eyes and is i guess the only actor who can have chemistry with anybody, even a tree..:D
Cyndi Wang as Mei Le did a good job.She doesn't overact as much as the other TWdrama heroines tend to do.
I am a sucker for damaged leads and this one drama delivered on this aspect so nicely and in such a touching way that this one goes down in my list of favourites...i like how the leads are so flawed and how they work together to heal each other and in the process fall in love too...:)
The chemistry is mind blowing in this one,reminded me of Secret Garden so much.The leads here are so snappy and adorable with each other and at the same time that it makes one wanna go crazy over this couple.The best part of their chemistry is that its so believable how these two could easily fall for each other.How they are motivated and the reason their attitude are the way they are leaves no room for contemplation and gives us a straight forward answer.The reasons for their behavior are pretty good and how they change gradually throughout the drama is very pleasent to watch.Their scenes has this distinct beauty and a dreamy quality that is so beautiful.Their scenes together are shot pretty beautifully with the whole sunshine playing tricks on the eyes that it makes their love all the more beautiful.their were enough cutesy moments and entralling scenes to keep a romantic like me glued to my screen for hours.The best part of their relationship is the spontaneous hugs and kisses.In many dramas they come out as pretty awkward but here it seems so natural and mixed in with Yi Lei's impulsive personality and Mei le's denial makes it great.What the writer did with the toast concept and mixed it with the romance was charming
At 13 episodes this was an easy watch and didn't drag long like other dramas tend too.The story does slow down and gets burdened with angst in the last episodes but it is all worth it since its pretty heartwrenching and believable and touching at the same time.
The subplot involving the lead couple's brother and sister was too cute.i loved their love story and could understand why they fell.They are running parallel to the love story of the main couple and its cute to watch them together fighting and snapping their heads off each other.I don't have any sympathy for women like Xuan Xuan or men like Yi Feng so their parts were what i fast forwarded the most through.Xuan Xuan is annoying.period.
The music fit well thoughout the drama and the one track stood out was stick to you sang by the leading lady herself..:)
I will definately be rewatching this since all those captivating and lovable moments filled with such amazing chemistry will always leave me wanting more of this couple.
Highly recommeded for any die hard crazy romantic fan like me..:D
Trust me this will leave you wanting more and more of this amazing couple
