so far so good. make me feel alive again.
Honestly speaking, I wouldn't watch this if it weren't for Yu Shuxin. I'm not really into this kind of plot (no-blood relation step-siblings), it's just too awkward for me and not my type. But I'm so glad she's the FL here, otherwise, I may have never known this masterpiece of a drama.The male lead, while I feel like he can do more, still, his acting worked well. He suits so much as Jin Chao. His eye acting, in particular, is his best department. Second was him while in a race. I'm glad she's paired with YSX. That kind of eye acting needs to be known more. Plus! His yearning character deserves more attention too! haha. For YSX, the girl can really act. Just one thing I wish could've done differently was her expression when Chao reached something, cos that reaction reminds me of Ling Miaomiao. I feel like that reaction was out of character for Jiang Mu's nature. But other than that, she's so great. Although I like her expressions so well, that's not what hooked me to her character. Instead, I like how cool she is while driving, while conversing, but most of all when she can fight. Finally! One thing I quite don't like in modern drama (not fond of modern drama, truthfully speaking) is that MOST OF THE TIME, FL relies so much on ML. Always needs saving. But Jiang Mu belongs to another FL who knows how to defend when needed. That's a very good one for me. So yep, these two together bring good chemistry and their tension is just so perfect!
For other characters, firstly, I love San Lai! If there's no Jin Chao or Mike (forgot his name in SAL, oh my), if I were Jiang Mu I'd definitely fall for him. He's so nice and attentive. I like the other workers in Chao's business too. But my favorite aside from the main leads? Definitely Mike. WHOEVER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR GIVING HIM THAT ROLE AND PAIRING HIM WITH YSX DESERVES A RAISE! He gives me butterflies every time he's close to Jiang Mu. Definitely my type if Jin Chao didn't exist in this drama (he's just built differently you know? Who doesn't like a man who yearns, who can say no, and so passionate and almost like obsessed?? I'm definitely into this type!) Mike and YSX's chemistry is also really good (or was this YSX's never-ending "chemistry queen"?). Lastly, Snakey (was that what they called her?). She's crazy but I feel like deep inside her, she's not a bad person. And yes, her with ysx made me think I was watching a GL, lol. Their dynamic and tension is so ugh so good!
Overall, this is a very well-thought-out drama. It is almost perfect. This year, I can count using my one hand how many dramas hooked me. It has been so rare for me to be impatient for new episodes, and thank goodness SAL happened because I'd be bored to deàth!
