Straight of the bat, I need to say I was pleasantly surprised at how much depth we got out of the second lead and other secondary stories. I mean, the focus was not forced on the lead couple so much so that I got to really enjoy other plotlines. I had enough of second and third lead couples to have loved their characters. Which was so smart of the producers, otherwise this would have been a very looooong story.

But therein lies my main problem with this drama. There was very little of the main leads' growth and depth or even a suspenseful plot to have sustained an entire 40-episode drama. The plot got draggy and boring with arches that were stretched out for no good reason. The side story about the Shen sisters is a prime example, other than gap-filling, what was that?! The earthquake arch was also really long, I just skimmed through it. I almost felt like I was watching a remake of DOTS with storylines also from My Little Happiness.

Still, the main leads were a joy to watch. I love nice leads, they just make me so happy! And these 2 were incredibly sweet. Bai Jing Ting, hats off for some great acting. I didn't notice the age gap and actually appreciated that he pulled off the tough guy Special Policeman really really well. I loved Sandra Ma's character Dr Mi Ka - really inspiring. Here is a thought to the producers - did you know that a woman can be both brilliant at her job and actually also look good. What was she wearing?!

Anyway, I didn't think this one lived up to my expectations.
