What I like-
1. The whole Macau vibe and the OST were just perfect. I think one of the best I have heard.
2. The beauty of this drama is on another level. The sunsets, night views, the scenic views are just perfect. It felt like I was really in Macau while watching this drama.
3. All the stories were developed separately. Not focusing on a single individual at a time but focusing on every character simultaneously was a great idea. I really enjoyed the first 8 episodes.
4. A little sneak peek of their childhood and careers through photos was such a good idea. They did not waste time to explain all that just the things which were beneficial for the plot.
5. Oh, I love Sunny Sun’s character in this. He was such a soft-spoken man. I was literally smiling all the way through 8 episodes.
6. One of my favorite characters would be Le’s Mom. I mean the unity she holds in the family. The advice she gives. She was just perfect.
7. The purest relationship would be Casey’s and Mark’s. They were healing each other throughout the series. She became a friend, a supporter, and a mother figure which he never had and he became the inner child that she never got to heal.

What I don’t like-
1. It fell flat after episode 8. Too many side characters got introduced and they took the other half of the series. It was like the main leads became side characters in the later parts. I didn't mind seeing other characters getting introduced but I wanted to see the main leads as well.
2. I never got to see Le and Ariel as a couple. I wanted to see their chemistry.
3. I didn't like the abrupt ending. I wanted to know if she really came for him this time and was ready for a relationship or not

All in all, this was a very light and heartwarming drama with deep conversations about life and a reality check for a lot of people.
