Synopsis:
Radio DJ, Liang Xiao Shu, an outgoing,straight-forward, optimistic and a little drama queen at heart. After finding out her boyfriend of 3 months is cheating on her, she is devastated. Later she happens to bump into Zhou Zhen, who comes from a former gangster family that has decided to keep their hands clean. Zhen is gentle, gracious and upright, he encourages Xiao Shu and helps her to move on with her life. Zhen becomes an employee at her radio station by mistake and goes to great lengths to hide his true identity by impersonating a salesperson.
My thoughts:
At first the drama started out strong and things started slowly coming together up until a sub-plot involving Xiao Shu's brothers death was surfaced than things took on a different path. I am finding it difficult to follow the story when its being pulled in so many directions. Too many things are happening all at once, new characters are introduced and or characters bios surfaces, taking away from the main characters, which the story is mainly based on.
Several times I thought about fast-forwarding or jumping episodes because of the slow-pace and that it was beginning to bore me out. The actors were great acting out their roles, especially Annie Chen and George Hu, who have such good chemistry on camera. Tan Ai Zhen, who played Zhou Zhen's grandmother was absolutely hilarious as always.
What was most annoying was the childish antics, the crying and the pouting by Ying Ying and Xiao Shu. Sometimes it was cute and other times irritating. It was refreshing to see Ying Ying come out of her shell and attempt to be more independent and not rely on her family so much. The whole family oriented thing is a nice touch. What I've learned from this is:
Forgive those who've caused you pain, cause it's the only way to move on.
Showing Compassion and Sincerity is the first step towards forgiveness.
Family and Friends will always be there to love and support you in good times or bad.
And Change. Whether you're striving to become a better person or becoming independent, it's the first sign of change.
So, overall, it's not so bad. I enjoyed some parts but not all of it. And learned some important values from watching this. I give this 4 stars.
