The drama started off heavy on comedic relief, funny antics to the point of childish and typical cliches of boy meets girl, start off on wrong foot and girl adopts someone else's identity. But suprisingly the storyline keeps evolving and kept my interest.
Qian bao bao is perhaps one of the better drama heroines. Shes beautiful, quick witted, brave, treasures friendships and strong sense of chivalry making her a unique and special female and its no wonder both male leads. Xiang hao and Shen Wen Tao both falls in love with hee. The good thing of the plot is that although its a love triangle, their love mostly was honest, no wishy washy and most of the time selfless, particularly Wen Tao. He really gives you second lead syndrome from supporting Baobao when she needs it and relegated to being good friends. Furthermore even though the two males are rivals on field and in love, there was never any malicious actions between them.
Most C dramas suffers mid series stump of draggy plotlines and over inflated drama. Suprisingly here although present it was still tolerable. Ep 26 to 35 were the less fav episodes due to reemergence of the second female lead who caused all the angst.
I appreciate Baobao's character being quite consistent. She has principles and although initially try to run off without telling Xiang Hao, she reliasd that was selfish of her and chose to stay at the risk of being found out and subjected to death. Xiang Hao's character has the most growth because he started off very immature and arrogant. His childish antics and really over action and expression sometimes makes it hard to stomach. In stark contrast with the cool and serious Wen Tao.
Theres also friendships and bromance. I appreciate the brother in arms take.
Acting wise. Ive alwayd love Joe Chen. Her eyes speaks when she acts. Its my first time seeing Jia Nai Liang. I find him abit forced and over the top in some scenes but his onscreen character quite similar to his off screen personality that i see on his reality show. Bosco ive seen alot of his HK drama n hes good but chemistry worse for him is a hit and miss depending on who hes paired with. In this case he has good chemistry with Joe.
If not for the ending, i would have given this a 9/10. I watch about 70% or more of total running time and thats vert high considering its a C drama of more than 30 episodes.
Im glad i didnt give up aft watchin the first episode.
