The casts and their acting were great. I laughed out loud several times because of the Li Hui Zhen character; Dilraba portrayed the character very well. I have always liked her acting.

The series just gets really annoying and disappointed as it progressed. I don't like how Li Hui Zhen, supposedly a hard working, courageous woman was just so weakly and blindly "stuck" in love with her childhood sweetheart, Bai Hao Yu despite his dis-respectfulness toward her; he constantly berated her because of her clumsiness and her physical appearance (judging the book by its appearance kind-of-way). I understand that the main lead, Bai Hao Yu was supposed to be aloof and detached because of his childhood misfortunes, but one can be that way without being ill-mannered, non-gallantry and disrespectful. His English was really bad despite the fact that he was in New York for 12 years. He never learned to open doors for women apparently. Whenever they were stuck in bad situation, Li Hui Zhen had to take care of everything, he just stood there watching. He was just flat out RUDE and insecure in my opinion. He had suspicions that she was his childhood friend, but never wanted to actually find out. He didn't want it to be her, it seems. His character was such a turn-off for me; he was so NOT " suave, successful, and immensely likable" as described in the summary. I would have stopped watching this series if it wasn't for Lin Yi Mu (Vin Zhang).

I totally loved Lin Yi Mu. If Li Hui Zhen was smart, she would have been with Lin Yi Mu instead.
