Nothing happy about this ;)
Don’t get me wrong, this is actually a very good watch. Just didn’t understand why the title was “Happiness” when the drama is about an infectious disease?!I don’t usually watch or like zombie/ mad person/ infectious disease kind of shows, but this one was a refreshing break from the too many rom-coms I’ve been watching. The storyline itself is nothing new. An infectious disease is spreading, government is trying to cover up, people are turning against each other in order to survive etc.. there are characters whom you will love, and some annoying pricks whom you just want to gorge their eyeballs out LOL.
Both leads have very good screen presence. There is some action and a little chemistry and romance... but they focused mainly on their character development and smart survival skills. The music also very good, gets your heart racing and pumping. A few good scares, jump at the screen kinda scares.. some are predictable.
Definitely a good watch. :)

Gong Jun could not save this one :(
Really disappointed with this one. I like Gong Jun but it seems his dramas of late have been received poorly (The Flaming Heart was bad too!) I also like the FL also from Gank Your Heart, but this drama just could not hold up.The storyline is bad... no real essence. They are in the uni cafeteria , the bullies are having a fight with the ML and friends, and then suddenly the whole cafeteria breaks out into a dance battle. LOL... I mean, what’s going on??!! The editing is sloppy, there’s no continuity in between scenes.
Just give this one a miss. Next please :)

Had great expectations but sorely disappointed
Maybe that was the problem- I had great expectations. Two big stars like Luo Yunxi and Victoria Song, but unfortunately it was a let down.First 10mins of Epi 1 was like, “Whoa!!” Wow, looks promising. Subsequently it got SO BORING. It had a lot of research talk, and the supervisor and colleague trying to oust the FL; and it was great that she knew how to handle herself and came out victorious. But I was just skipping way too much, and the story just failed to interest me.
Sorry, thought I might actually come back to this cos other reviewers had good reports, but I think nah. Moving on to the next ;)

Unfortunately too boring
The base storyline is interesting. A cold emotionless CEO gets into an accident and has amnesia. The woman who saves him pretends to be his fiancée so her company can close a deal in his absence. Interesting right??Unfortunately the execution of it was too dull. They tried to make it funny, but it wasn’t. They tried to make it tense with bullying, but it wasn’t. I already skipped quite a lot in the first 3 episodes, so decided to drop this. Don’t know how other reviewers gave it 8/9 lol.

Strange but quite a good watch
This drama can basically be divided into three sections:First section- episodes 1-9
This was bad.. the ML is your typical CEO, using his power to manipulate and mess with the FL’s career.
Second section- Epi 10-19
The storyline gets better, and now it’s clear the ML likes her, but I don’t understand why she’s hot & cold towards him? She will try to seduce him and when he tries to kiss her, she runs away? This whole vibe between them I found weird and strange, just couldn’t understand what the writers and producers were trying to achieve.
Third section- the rest of the episodes. So yes they get together, but they break up for about 5 episodes. Again, I couldn’t understand why, I mean yes the reason was because she used him for her revenge, but was it even that? I didn’t even get that in the beginning episodes. Maybe I missed it cos I did fast forward a bit here n there lol.
Anyhow, it’s not your typical romance relationship development, but the chemistry is pretty decent. Visuals of Dylan and Bailu are definitely on fire! I actually prefer the 2nd couple, but they didn’t have much screen time. 3rd couple was mediocre, boring development but Miles Wei was hot lol. Quite a few big stars in this drama, but I don’t think the storyline held up to expectations.
Should you watch? Yeah.. give it a go. Just keep an open mind and ff the boring bits ;)
