Underline difference between a rich family vs a middle class family
The story line is odd. I like that the FL and ML has problems. The different between the rich family and middle class family is like night vs day. The rich family you can call them night and the middle class call them day. The night, full of problems, ike don't get along. No love or life among family members. The Day, a family full of life. Love among each other is shown.The FL is full of doubt. You can tell she has some of love for her family (rather is from obligation because she was adopted I don't know). Her mother likes to oversee her every ways her life from her dating to her work habits. You can tell the FL resents her mother for those actions. At times, FL looks suicidal. Her life line is the ML.
ML is a man on a mission. He has known since High School. He wanted to prove that he wasn't beneath FL's family. He is a driven for success. He is a nice guy and doesn't demean females. He loves his family and it is noticable. He is well liked by his men at the fire station. ML and FL are trying to pickup their lives, form when she dumped him (not by her choice). You can feel the sarrow as she dumped him.
Fire fighting scenes keeps you on the edge. Some of the patriotic scenes are a little over-the-top. I still feel that it is well produced and casted. The turmoil that the brother was in you felt. Your heart sunk when he finally told his mother how he felt. FL had no choice to cut her mother off at te knees after she found out it was her mother that cause the suffering of the ML. There's a point where mothers have to let loose the bonds and let their children find their own way in life. Parents should be there when their children fall for support. FL's motherdidn't do that and she almost loss both of her children. I was good to see the mother had a hange of heart. It was a shame that it took a disaster for to see that the ML was a good man.
I hate that they didn't show the wedding. Producers, Directors and Writer did an outstanding job on this series.
The Series is well worth watching and seeing it again.

Strong Female lead
I am a Tan Song Yun fan. As an Actor she plays diverse roles. This drama is no exception. The Producers and writer finally got one right. The FL (Ning Meng) is not a weak minded person, who cowdowns to ML. Lu Ji Ming is the typcal Chinese drama character. He is arrogant, no female can't do it by themselves, demean a female at any given chance person. I really this doesn't turn into a romance. There is so much going on now, it's not needed.The cut throat Invester industry is exposed. What greedy folks will do to get to the top. Lu Ji Ming will want to make a person want to reach in and slap him. Ning Meng is a driven to suceed person. She knows what she want and she is going for it. You can feel the hurt she has as she is blocked at every turn. It's the way Chinese dramas are: the man gets to be a douche throughout the series to the female. Then about midway he says sorry and changes and the woman that has been disrespected, demeanded and yanked around forgives him. They end up together at the end.
This drama isn't a romance drama per se. It's about Ning Meng coming on her own. Mix in her life is romance. It's who should I choose, the School Crush or the demeaning Domineer Ex-Boss. The subplots are great and some are funny. When you find out that your best friend's bf is cheating how do you handle it? This was addressed in this drama and it was done well. The ups and dones in this drama is outstanding. It wll make you pay attention, because if you miss a part you will have to rewatch that portion. If you don't you lose out. This drama runs the gambit. It has Love, Hated. loyality, betrayal and you feel it all. It will give a glimspe at the inner working of the invest industry, a bit hollywoodish.
The Writer, Producers and Directors did a fantastic job on the Drama. It was well writen and played. The episodes fit together, there were only a couples of spots where it seem to drag. The ending was alright. It would of been better if the FL did not pick either one of the men. This is NOT a romance drama. The Cast and crew were great, with great chenistry.
I recommend this Drama to everyone and I will watch it again.

Fantastic.......
It took me 3 days to watch this story line. This was one of the Chinese dramas I have watched so far. Producers and Writers got this one right when it comes to telling women storylines.The Music score was right on time and matched the scene perfectly. The Countryside scenes were breath taking. The City was just like any other big city life. Folk running around to busy to noticed anyone else. You will notice the country folks had each other back. They relied on each other to get through the day.
The three ladies went through heaven and hell. Some of it was self inflicted and some just by chance. When they cried and hurt, you cried and hurt. It appeared that society was put an age limit for getting married. They were obsessed on having a husband, child and house by 30 years of age. 30 was old!? Really!? Most of the men in this storyline didn't come out looking to good. For once there was weak minded, you can do anything you want to me and I will not react female Leads. All of the women were career women just trying to make it. Those women stuck with each other through thick and thin.
I really liked this storyline and I recommend it
I will watch in again in the future.

A good feel me good Series
I like how the Producers made this Series. Some times the flash backs are confusing and misplaced. Very enjoyable Romantic Drama.One of the least Chinese romantic dramas where you don't have a rich Bad Boy male role. The male leads usually demean, yank, pet the head of, grab and get in the female leads face. The female leads usually are weak minded, subservient and does nothing to the male. Thank you, it was refreshing to see that.
The chemistry among the role players was great. They worked well together. At first the Yu Tu was not a likeable person. He was cold and emotionless person. Towards the middle of the Series they explain why he was like that and you begin to understand him. You can see the turmoil he was struggling with.
Qiao Jing Jing was likeable from the start. One may thing that she was shallow and mindless. If one felt that they, they would be wrong. One will find that out when she talks to her Ex. I don't how she stayed positive all the time, with everything that was thrown at her. Xiao Zhu was the unsung hero. She knew everything that was going on.
The sets where great. The Series took you all over the place. Knowingly that the cleaned up the place for the shoots. No traffic on major roads and highways (really!) ?.
Make up folks and Producers QUIT white washing your Actors, it makes them look pale and sickly with motionless expressions.
I recommend this Romantic Drama for everyone. I will watch it again.

Enjoyable storyline
It started a little slow. You can see and feel the chemistry between Su Nian Qin / "Yi Jin" and Sang Wu Yan. It does felt like it's made up. Both leads are worth of it and they are on same level. One can see why Su Nian Qin is the way he is. You also can tell Sang Wu Yan is smitten by him from the up get. Makes a person to watch and see what develops between the to. I already had some good laughs out of this. The KFC thing was funny. Thank you to the Writers and Producers for not making one of those males that are rude, yanks women around, arrogant or rich spoiled or a Bad Boy. Equal thank you for not making the female lead a subserviently, mumbling, weak minded, get in my face person.I am really liking the Series 6 episodes in. I am pleasantly surprised; this series is in depth serious. I like the subplots too. I smile when Sang Wu Yan and Su Nian Qin hooked up. So far they look like a good couple. For once their isn't a mother asking if he/she are from a god family or do they have money? Oops, I spoke to soon?. Her Mother can throw some guilt trip out there so far? . Her Mom is 100% wrong.
This is a well produces Series. It will have you wondering what happens next. I breaks my heart about the father. If You want to watch a roller coaster of a Series, this is the one. It is slow to develop but it is worth it. The way they dub in the music is right on point. They have the most appropriate score at the exact time. So far I haven't seen any filler episodes. Each episode built on the previous and the next episode.
Why is it in Chinese dramas that the rich, spoiled male lead, think he can beat everyone up? Su Nian Qin needs his ass beat. This is where I say Sang Wu Yan speak up and tell him where to go; but of course this is a Chinese romantic drama , that will not happened. Here's a new idea: If you do not want o talk to him, Cut off the phone or block him!?? Su Nian Qin Has become a stalker... oops it's considered as romantic pursuing a woman in Chinese romantic dramas.
Make sure you pay attention to the last 3 episodes. I really enjoyed this Series and I would recommend it to everyone to see it.

I am trying to finish this bad Series. Too much time spent will they or or won't they.
I really am hoping this gets better. Like most Chinese romantic dramas they have the rich male who can do anything and nothing happens to him. They have the mumbling, weak minded, you can do anything to me, low esteem, and pat me on the head like pet when they meet the guy they like, female. They have the oops I tripped and landed on you, let me stare in your eyes or kiss you scene.Hey Writers and Producers, do you know you can have a nice Romantic Drama, where women are portrayed in a positive light? I just had to put that out there. Here's another thing : The rich male doesn't always have to when and they need their ass whipped every now and then
16 episodes in and it isn't getting any better. The will they or will they not get together is long and drawn out. There isn't any chemistry between Tang Xin and Shen Qing Yuan, it isn't believable that they are in love. Tang allows Shen to jerk her around with nothing said. Then again that is typical in Chinese romantic dramas. Du Ling Feng is a rich brat and he is use to getting his way. The strongest minded person in this series Shi Xiao Ci. Shen Qing Yuan jealousy is over the top borderline obsessives.
I feel this story line should of been only 25 -30 episodes. These will she or won't she episodes are a waste of time. Moving in with him early on and those two playing these games is a waste of time. All you is BLAH BLAH BLAH do you love me ? or Blah Blah Blah I love you ..... but. Ep 19 was a total waste. His jealousy is over the top. I bet he followers her to the bathroom. He can't even see that see is trying to work things out in her mind. She has no room to breath. Tang Xin is an enabler and has low self esteem. She is so smitten that she can't see that he is controlling her. In real life a person that jealous, obsessed and possessive never works out; it's what causes domestic violence to happen.
Ep 22 -25, 29,30 were most interesting yet.
I have to asked this: In whose world does a woman moves in with a guy that told her to stay away from them? I liked Xing Fei in "My little Happiness" her role was positive: In this one she's the weak minded, mumbling, low esteem, smitten lady. You can see that the target audience is 18-25 year old, because most but not all of them don't know better. They look at how cute or how handsome they are. Do they look good together. They don't look at context or contents.
The best part of this Series was the last Episodes 22-25,29,30 and 38-40. Most of the Series dragged on. This Series would of been better if only they made 20-25 Episodes. Most of the Series was a when they are going to get together. They went way overboard in trying the chemistry to work.
The Series is good to watch for the first time, but again to watch it ... No thank you.

the use Animation and Live is great
The cast are well liked and believable. The use of animation and live is a great concept. The storyline so far is funny, witty and at time sad. the pressure to win at GO and became a Master must be immense. I am glad that they got into cast members. It enabled a person to understand which direction the Series is going.If anyone of you all are looking for a bad boy to demean a mindless, weak woman(and call it Romance Drama), this isn't it that type of Series. You well be sorely disappointed. In a way the animation enable me to understand GO. One day I hope to see it played live. The scenery is fantastic. All I can say is that Cheng Liao is a strong minded woman. Good for her!
Cheng Feng Shou is calmer than most Asian fathers I know. If my daughter came to me and said xyz and she was going on a vacation with her boyfriend; there would be a heated debate. If she disobeyed me, her bags would be packed. Shou became star struck and didn't do the right thing. He was right when he told her you are single and you should not stay at a boy's place alone. Everyone knows how bad scandals are could damage ones reputation. Look at Cheng Liao and all she did was get drunk and dance.
There is always has to be a rat(Traitor) in the nest. I really like the concept of this Series. Romance mixed with action and personality is fantastic! The action comes from the game. The only thing I have to say negative so far is that: Sheng Jing Chu creeps me out. They have so much white powder on his face makes him look pale and sickly. He always has a blank look on his face, maybe a Chinese Harry Potter. They have spent too much time on Harry Potter ( Sheng Jing Chu) storyline. When it is actually three romances going on. They could of developed the other two and it would not have distract from the main romance. The twist and turns of this storyline is fantastic, especially the later episodes.
I am sorry to say this but: Jiang Yu Da needs his butt beat. He is immature and a pest. I can't believe Cheng Liao is falling for him. If someone broke my expensive cups, there would be a fight. Jaing and are punks. Neither one of them deserve Cheng Liao. She can do better.
Some of the episodes drag. They could of told the Storyline in 30 episodes instead of 41.
It is a good Series. I enjoyed watching and I will watch it again.

An enjoyable College life Series
Very enjoyable Series. The heart ache, ups and downs of attending College. The love one heart wants but can't have is evident. Watching Xiong Yi Fan get all giddy when ever Yan Ke paid attention to her, was funny. It made you smile and think back when you had your first romance. The chemistry among the Cast Members was great.The scenery was great. The big cities are just like any other concrete jungle. Full of traffic, tall buildings wall to wall people.
I want to thank the Producers for making a nonpolitical. The College could of been anywhere in the world. College folks are college folks.
I would recommend people to watch this series. I will watch it Watching again.

Best Drama yet!
This Drama has everything in it. There are times you cry and other times you laugh. You feel the hurt and gladness. The concept of this Series is great. You get to see fathers do the best the could for their kids. Li was the best of all the actors. The chemistry among the cast is second to none. When they stuck up for each other, when one was attacked ; I'm like there you go! The Writers/Producers has done a fantastic job on creating this Series.Some of you will not like this Series because you don't have a ML a pouting abusing, demeaning and acting superior to the FL. You don't have a mumbling, subservient mindless FL.
This Series answer the question - Does blood or heart make a family. By this Series so far I would side with the heart. Li is hurting badly. She puts on a good front - everything is good front. The heart ache is felt by all. You can see how torn the fathers are when the children leave for College. You can see the happiness when they came back home to see them.
The dilemma of growing up with a person in the same household (no blood relations) and having feelings for that person: What should be done? It was dealt in such a way that didn't seem creepy no as a taboo incest. One could feel the situation that FL was in and you could feel what she felt. For those of you that have your minds in the gutter, it ain't that of Series. Well done Writers/Producers.
I am 11 episodes deep in the Series and it is getting better.
It was very nice to watch a Chinese drama, which was overly patriotic. This Series dealt with some hard dilemmas, laughing, crying, heart aches and family matters. The scenery was great! The music good. The fathers are differently positive role models on how fathers should be. I really felt for Qi Ming Yue and Tang Can, because their mothers were so dominate. Those mothers ran every aspect of their daughters lives.
Tan Song Yun stole the show! If she didn't play the part of Li Jian Jian, it wouldn't of been as good. Don't get me wrong the rest of the cast were great. There are some surprises, so make sure you watch carefully.
There need s to be a Part 2. It should round about 15 episodes. We would be able to see who got married and who didn't. We would know where in life are they. I would recommend this Series to anyone.

Typical LM demeans and enslaves FLwho has mindless and powerless
I was hoping that the concept of a split personality person trying to have a relationship would be interesting. It wasn't. It's the typical Chinese so called Romance drama. A rich male (Fu) split personality is demeaning, arrogant, demanding, abusive towards women and mindless, powerless, enslaved female (Jing) just takes it. She can't speak up for herself nor does she fight back. I guess this is why men think Chinese women subservient and mindless to certain men.Hey! Writers/Producers, how about put strong willed, females who are not scared to fight back, in your series? You always have a mumbling, talk like a child, subservient mindless females as leads. Maybe you all can look at things like "Lady of Law" and take a hint.
The only positive part of the series, is that her Brother found love.
Who in their right mind would give this series above a 6?

Another demeaning to women rich man get poor weak minded female at end.
I hope this will change.Where do they get these gullible women from? For some reason Chinese dramas most of the time have mindless, weak, yank me around and I will not do anything to you, women. The story line is great, but right now it is coming up short. The men are always demeaning the women and strong arming them. The women just take it. Female lead goes for money digging. Come on! Make a Romantic drama that both men and women are on equal footing. I watch a lot of these and the Writers and Producers, so the same thing weak minded role women and demeaning to women, rich, I can do what I want men. I make the Chinese women to appear out for money. So far this one is starting to look the same as the others.
Let me get this straight: A rich man meets a total stranger, claiming she is a fairy from a painting. The female is just as gullible weak minded believes him and agrees to be by his side. Now she is wearing fancy dresses and going to dances. Come on! It makes the lady look pretty bad. Mindless to the inth degree.
This story line is going from bad to worse. I am tired of seeing Chinese romantic dramas where women are mindless, weak and they allow the rich male demean them. All the ML has to do is wave enough money in front of them or give them a bull story, FL believe them every time. If a father saw a man coming from his daughter room, the man would get a frying pan upside the head. No! all he did was cry. The daughter would of been kicked out of the house especially in Asian families, they are strict.
It's a waste of time to watch this more than once.

Story long too long.
The story line could of been told in 20 episodes. At times it seem to had dragged on.None of the male actors stood out. Du appear to be a dork. His role made him look stupid, immature and an idiot. His pursue of Yuan was unbelievable and clumsy done The older male was so precise. He had to look on his watch to see if he time to talk Gu. He lived by his watch and calendar. Any person who dates or marries a person like that must be out for money.
The plus for the males roles is that they did not demean nor bully the females.
The friendship between Gu and Yuan was great! It appeared that they had each others back. The arguments between them, was great! Friend will argue, it's what happens afterward that proves friendship. They could of gone a little more deeper in their friendship.
Office scenes were pretty good. Anybody that works in a major office environment knows there are gossipers go wild. Who doing what and who is dating whom. Usually males talk around water coolers or in the restrooms. Colleagues go out to eat or bars, they talk.
To sum it up: One woman stays single. One goes on to wed her School mate who liked since .

A wonderful and fun story
I first have to thank the Producer, Writers and Directors for put together a wonderful, joyful and fun storyline. For once they don't have the ML portraying a rich, arrogant, demeaing, get your face, yanking a woman around person. They also didn't have the FL portraying a poor, need a man to help her, mumbling, yank me around, subservient, weak minded person. Most of that you see in most Chinese Romance dramasI am really enjoying this Drama. It has highes and lowes, funny parts and seriuos. Chemistry among the cast is through the roof good. The interaction between the ML and FL looks natural and not creepy.The music suits the occassion and the ballards are great. If you watch this drama, you'll find out that there isn't a relationship in this drma that doesn't fit. You really don't have a bad guy in this drama. The fire fighting action scenes where hairs raising. There was a part in this drama that was heartbreaking, and you will feel it to your soul.
It's nice to know that big citites are the same all over the world: Too many people, too manny cars, bad air and traffic jams.
If you do not watch this drama, you'll be missing out. This is the way love, romance dramas should be made. No-one is demeaning anyone, no weak minded females and no demeaning males.
I recommend this drama and I will watch it again.

It Continues
Thank you for continueing where you left off from Season 3. The Females leads are outstanding. They allhave their own problems, yet they has each others back. The sisterhood is strong and they provide a strong positive role models for females. Some may say, they have problems; which is true. Who don't have problems? Strongness comes from how they tackle their problems. They are strong minded, I will not let you get in my face nor will I allow you to yank me around female leads. This is a powerful drama about women and their ups and down, in all it's glory and sadness.I know some people are not use to haveing those type of female leads, especially pertainig to Chinese dramas. Chinese dramas usually havethe Male lead be, rich, arrogant, a CEO, demeans the female lead, gets in their faces with no consequences and no person could beat them. Female leads are usually mumbling, weak minded, yank me around, pet me on the head and get in my fale an I need a man to tell me what to do, type. Well Folks, as they say-This isn't that type of drama.
I still believe that Ye Zhen Zhen and Huang Dai Wei do not have the chemistry for a love relationship. I can see being great friends. There isn't anything I see when they are together that say love, other than freindship. It is sad to see the road that He Min Hong is taking. When you have people who got your back and you don't believe them; then it's time for you to look in the mirror. Qi Mu is not a good person and everyone knows it, but He Min Hong.
Exploring the realm of brainwashing a person is interesting. Freinds and family members are not able to break through the wall that has been implanted in the mind of a person that was brainwashed. Looking at a brain washed person and wondering how can person snap the indvdual back to reality, was explored here. How far should a parent go to help their adult child when they have been brain washed? What should the person's friend go to help them? This drama explores that and more.
I can't wait to watch Season 5. I remmend and will watch this drama again.

Positive for Women roles
For the past 3 days I have been watching this drama. I didn't watch Part 1&2. I really like this Drama. There are five different women, with different mannerisms. I would like to state; if you want a storyline which features a ML as a demeaning, get in the woman's face, jerk her around and treat her badly through out the Drama and ends up with her at the end, this storyline is not for you. These five women go through ups and downs. There are funny moments and sad moments. They get o each others nerves from time to time and there are idealism clashes as they try to make it. It doesn't address sexism and sex harassment very well. Chinses Romantic/Drama storylines need to do more in promoting positive images of female leads. I like that the woman don't allow anyone get over on them. If someone gets in their face they fight back.There isn't any chemistry between Ye Zhen Zhen and Huang Dai Wei as far a lovers. As friends they are good together. I have a feeling that in Part 4 the Producers will manufacture a love interest between the two. Fang Zhi Heng is the strongest of all the women. If you watch the Drama, you'll see what I mean. The interaction between Yu Chu Hui and [Yu Chu Hui's mother] was powerful. My heart ached for both of them. Every one of those women had their trials and tribulations to go through.
I just finished the total Part 3 and I am looking forward in watching Part 4. Producers went into depth of each one of the woman. There was a reason and it worked. I could go on and on about this Series. You'll just have to watch it and see why I liked it.
I recommend people watch this Series.
