Even funnier if you get the references from Xiang Liu (Lost you forever)

Refreshing script focusing on inner confidence. Of course, you'll have to ignore some of the logic flaws to enjoy the story.
I started the story because I really enjoyed the ML and the FL in their other roles, but I didn't know if this pair would work. After 10 episodes I want to say the CP is growing slowly but it won't make it to amazing level which again it's actually more fitting for the story. The characters are fantastic, and it's meant to be go beyond that surface level they are so hot and matching just need to be together type. So, if you are into that kind of hotness overload CP then yeah..... go watch "The Best Thing" but if you are into original script and acting over hotness than you'll definitely appreciate this script.

Not ONLY the script and the leads but the supporting cast is rocking it too! Especially actress Pu Tao (who played the big brain researcher). She really played 2 completely different people so convincingly. Bestie is the kind of Bestie everyone wishes for. 2nd couple is super cute and matching. Sister, parents are awesome.

Now 21 ep in, the offbeat humor is cracking me up! I absolutely love the originality of this script. Even funnier if you watched Tan Jian Ci as Xiang Liu in Lost you forever. There are quite a few NOT so subtle references to Xiang liu. like:
1. The T shirt - FL's Bestie was wearing.
2. Bestie smashes egg to try to win a Xiang Liu Doll (Ep 6) (script writer's venting? lol)
3. Pu Tao & Wang Hong Yi were in Lost you forever
4. The Music playing in the back when Tan Jian Ci was drinking in ep 7.
5. FL's parents are watching Lost you forever on TV

Overall story's got just right amount of humor to sweet moments along with some character growth. Definitely a fun watch and worth rewatching!

Tan Jian Ci continues to pick great script that showcase his versatility as an actor. Really though with all the references to Xiang Liu, no one else can play this role!

Love Love Love!!!
