Love this drama. It is simple, funny, short, sweet and to the point. The story is a bit quirky and amusing. The ML and FL parts are refreshing compared to other romcoms. Two unhappy people meet and continuously scream at each other until they don't. I am watching it on Netflix.
Can someone explain something to me...why the heck did the husband cheat? Why did he throw away a wonderful wife…
One reason is that the FL had had a miscarriage and had shut him out for some time. I think they needed therapy. Then he was financially tied to his boss and got further entrapped by doing special favors for his boss and getting paid for it. In short, he was very weak and got stuck in doing things he knew were wrong but did them anyway like the affair. Also his mistress started to depend on him while his wife didn't .
The ending with the ML and FL parting walking away from each other with their umbrellas, I will never forgot that scene. Anyway, just my thoughts.
It's based on haruki Murakami book which is based on surrealism and or realism..it's not a movie for everyone…
Ok, so I skipped to the end and watched it. The end was ok but she was still in prison, poor lady. But he was going to wait for her. Those people were so awful to her. His movies are tortuous but perfect in every way. I will watch Punch, thank you. Where would I see it?
I personally prefer the korean version, but each has its own charm, it all depends on your preference.The focus…
I agree, I liked the Korean version so much better. Loved the ending - this C version is too soft pedaled. So sweet, so polite. The last two episodes were blah!
Use for my talents was ultimately a waste for my time. With very good actors they could have done more. It started…
I kind of agree with you - the last two episodes did not reach the heights that it should have reached. It was filled with sweetness and light but oh so polite. Jasper is one of my most favorite actors but I've seen him in much better roles.
I broke my tradition of silent watching over comments after reading people commenting on how 'childish' Esther…
I agree with you - Ester can take both roles: bubbly and serious when needed. I'm really enjoying this drama series - and your points are really well made. Thank you!
I am on Episode 12 and wondering why my Han accepted this project to be honest. The FLs character is blaaa. I…
Thank you Azura! I will look at your list. Actually you might think me way off but my favorite Asian movie is Burning. I'll make a list too! Yep, Burning!
Guys is it really that bad? All I see is "trash" so will it be a waste of time?
No it is not a waste of time. Look this is not a $$$$ budget film, like say Vincenzo etc but in its simplicity and lack of money, it got right straight to the point!!!!
It is short and sweet! Just finished watching the 12 episodes. Yes, low budget in every respect but it was very nice to watch. No evil people trying to destroy their relationship, only one supporting couple, the leading couple solved most of their initial issues with common sense, no unnecessary hospital scenes, no amnesia, and no big white trucks running over people. Unlike the 50-100 episodes of some Chinese dramas, the writers were able to grasp the love, issues, family in 12 episodes. Congratulations!

Funny as an American, I never watched Asian movies or dramas. Netflix started me on this path and I have never gone back to American films. Even my husband watched Vincenzo and Come Crashing Down on you but so far, I'm the lone Asian file watcher among my friends etc. Probably we should be friends on MDL to share more info on Asian films!!!
I just finished watching it, at first I didn't really like it because the game simulations were not of interest to me so I skipped most of the simulation parts. However, having said that, the later episodes don't have the games and that is when the story begins. Lin Yi is excellent as he was in Put Your Head on my shoulder. His acting ability is far beyond his years. Lulu Xu was also very good and became more convincing as we get into the story. For those of you that are turned off by the beginning episodes, keep going and you will get rewarded for watching it until the end. I would give it a 9. I watched it on IQ.com. The romance between the ML and FL was convincing and touching!

Someday I'll make a list of what I liked and didn't like That takes time. Yep, Sunshine of my life was really good, make watch it again....! Thanks Azura.

Han is executive producer of this series so wouldn't he have some control over it? He was also EP of "If Paris, Downcast", which was another flop in my opinion. One of the best Chinese actors of course!
Also his mistress started to depend on him while his wife didn't .
