I wanted to see if this adaptation was better than the Korean one I dropped a few months ago. And it is! The chemistry between the two leads are definitely better than in the Korean version and it makes such a difference. I second the other reviews by saying that Shin Ye’s acting has improved a lot. She’s much more mature but still has a sweet girly smile.
Jasper Liu is quite equal to himself. Always sexy and charming. It was funny to see him again in a more restrained drama (I’m referring to the previous “before we got married” who was quite torrid).
The second leads story was, on the other hand a bit boring. Maybe two many second couples? I don’t think that show needed 24 episodes but I still enjoyed the ride throughout.
It’s a drama with all the requisite ingredients: the chase, the “I’m moving in”, the dark past that’s going to threaten the lovers at one point, the second lead syndrome and the happy ending of course. Go for it.
And yes, he’s now my favourite Mr. Gu!
