Title Alice in Wonder City
It may come off as a bit tacky in the way it tried to be whmisical but I didn't mind, I actually liked the etheral-melancholic mood set by both music and some gimmicks to make it "dreamlike". However the only genuinely likeable character was the good Hai Jie and perhaps Lisa. The rest did grow on me eventually. However, it may suffer from being seen as a drama which tries too hard to be different in terms of technical execution, whilst offering a sugar-coated melodrama instead of substance, as that what it is two love stories soaked in mystery related to one of the characters and bound by friendship between characters.not at all like nodame cantabile, classical music was not as well developed as in NC. Nodame is actually better because it doesn't try to be pretentious, this one may come off as pretentious. I personally did not dislike it, however. on the contrary.
