Alice Ko is in the two all time best tdramas & Fu Meng Po is in one of them too, so "why not take a look at this" had been my motivation to check this out. In all honesty several of the themes in this show are things I tend to avoid, but managed to reach the ending credits thanks to the all around excellent production values, good acting & the occasional comedy. The short runtime helped too..
Outside of my own subjective dislikes, I feel the plot is a bit disjointed, I don't feel like I watched a coherent story with coherent characterization. Anyhow at the very least every once in a while when I get to watch a Taiwanese show I'm always shocked by how much more lifelike the acting is & how much more vibrant Taiwanese sice of life can be, or rather how they can show this much on TV, I mean compared to censored cdramas or self-censored overly glamorous kdramas. I wish they made more non-BL shows...
