I hate the script writers who had me sobbing like a baby at the end! In my top 5
I stumbled across this little gem quite by chance and nearly didn’t bother with it as the reviews are really mixed.
The plot follows a hapless actress who picks up tiny bit parts here and there, her manager, a fellow actress at the top of her game and 2 boys who she interacts with briefly in her childhood who re-enter her life and change it forever.
Both of the boys adore her for her bravery and courage from the moment they first meet one fateful day. One comes from a broken home and he directs his heartbreak first into being an aggressive bully and then later into a savvy yet shallow businessman. The image of the little girl who fought him off ‘that day’ stays with him and when they meet up again as adults he is determined to make her his. The other has a life limiting congenital heart problem who morphs from timid victim into a wealthy business genius knowing he is running out of time. His one aim is to repay the kindness shown to him by the little girl who protects him from the bully on ‘that day’.
As the story progresses the FL realises her strength lies in playing action characters and she becomes an overnight sensation when she takes on a role that could have been written for her and her life intertwines with the 2 men mentioned earlier without her knowing that they are from her past.
The drama starts off quite happily, bumbling along and by the time I reached the 3rd episode I wondered why I was bothering to continue watching as it all seemed a bit dull and pedestrian and the weird shaggy hairdo of the FL was really off putting (she’s so beautiful and call me shallow if you will, but her natural hair is gorgeous) but I don’t like to put a book or drama down so I persevered. I’m so glad I did as the actors were brilliant and I fell in love with both Connie Kang who played Zheng Ying and Zhang Chen Xiao (who looks like Xu Kai’s younger brother, they’re even the same height) who played Shen Yi Fan. The supporting actors were also very well cast and the little lad who played the actress’s son was such a cutie and pretty believable for one so young.
Production values, costumes and scenery were top notch too.
By the time I reached episode 22 I was sobbing (literally) and even with less than 30 seconds left of the final episode tears were literally running down my face.
Bravo script writer! I hate you and love you at the same time.
By the way, when you watch this on iQIYI you won’t be able to leave comments hence there doesn’t seem to be many people who’ve seen this production.
Would I watch this again? ABSOLUTELY
