This was something special - no girlfriend in the way (little sister seriously in the way, but hilariously and cute), just boys in love. The writing was excellent, the acting was superb, and Fandy Fan just plain hot anf gorgeous. If you like Timmy Xu, you'll like this guy.

I'm not sure why Asian series all have to have sappy easy listening soundtracks - does anyone actually voluntarily listen to music like that? I'd rather have Classical Chinese opera than this dreck. Fortunately it's only mildly annoying because the story and characters were so engrossing.

I wish it had maybe two more episodes to have a smoother transition for Xia Yu Hao from bad boy to sweet and sensitive - it was a little too quick. It would have been better if it had taken longer for Qiu Zi Xuan to make all the discoveries that uncovered what kind of person Yu Hao is. But for four hours, it was superbly written, a tight narrative without a lot of extraneous activity or repetition.

You won't be sorry you watched this.
