okay, I admit I had my doubts about watching this in the beginning. Since I had watched the anime long before I watched this and loved it, I was afraid they'd mess it up but i'm glad I ended up watching it! They kept in tune with the anime and even cleared up a few of the points that were muddy in the anime which was definitely nice. acting/characters: I think they did a fantastic job choosing the cast. Shang and dun helian was exactly as I pictured them and portrayed their characters magnificently. I also greatly enjoyed the side characters such as the manager and CEO who each had their unique characteristics. okay the CEO in this cracked me up he was hilarious. There were a lot of times I burst out laughing watching this and 98% of the time he was the reason. the only complaint I have as far as acting go is the main girls character. although, she portrayed gong xi's character well, I still felt that when it came to the epic acting moments where Gong Xi was supposed to shine brilliantly, she was lacking a little and the scenes fell a little flat. I also sometimes wished there was a little more depth to her character. story: loved the story. then again i'm a sucker for revenge plots and underdog rising to the top stories. I also liked how there are a lot of life lessons to be learned that were incorporated into the story such as learning to forgive, accept yourself, and love again. music: soundtrack for this was amazing. I especially loved the music for the more intense scenes. definitely did a bang up job setting the perfect mood for a specific scene. overall, I greatly enjoyed this drama. some of the special effects were super corny but that was what made it comical and enjoyable. seriously though, if the crazy bike scenes don't make you laugh then you're a stoic statue.
