I just finished watching this near midnight and I don't want to put away writing this until the morning. What I'm feeling now demands to be written down.

I don't think I've watched any drama until now that felt so absolutely pointless at the end of it. That doesn't mean that everything was great until the end though.

First of all, it was real slow. Throughout most of the episodes, there isn't anything much happening than characters wallowing in emotions or doing what they do without any background score.
There was no getting used to it, you just had to bear with it. Mostly you bore with it because, while the screenplay inched along and something finally happened, the actors emoted well and those scenes were good.

Also, I can say with certainty, if it were not for my liking both Mike He and Ariel Lin, I wouldn't have made it even halfway through.

And, Then there is the ending..
After you sit through it all, the way they choose to end it is nothing but absurd. I didn't fully watch the last two episodes. There was no point to continuing with the torturous-ly slow process when the only reasons for watching the show took a beating.

That's all I can put into words now. The only reason any one can have of watching this,in my opinion, is if they like the lead actors, because it's a tough ride even then. read more

One of my favorite Taiwanese dramas, with a dreamteam cast of Mike and Ariel.

I think i like this drama so much because it takes itself a little more seriously than the average romance genere drama.

Got some lovely romance scenes too. (Baby cow scene one of the sweetest ever!)

Got to say the ending had me surprised, last two minutes of the drama had me sitting staring at the credits open mouthed.

get a SPOILER from wikipedia about the ending, it's not too bad, so i decided to give this a go purely because of Mike He and Ariel Lin

*minor spoiler ahead*
The pairing of Mike He and Ariel Lin is amazing, but I thought the drama kind of dragged on a lot. And the ending totally made this drama not worth watching. If you want to watch this drama, just don't watch the end because it is ambiguous and sad and stupid. <--- just my opinion, though! ;)

Loved it for the story and the ending, but it did feel like it dragged on to me, and that I just wanted to keep fast forwarding.
