Stupid
Stupid right out of the gate. Couldn't date anyone for three years because of a one night stand? Tell me how that's supposed to be believable. And the whole "mom was a porn star" angle is equally ridiculous. Mediocre acting, bad dialogue- at least the sea scenery is good. Definitely worth missing. ..............................................................................................Was this review helpful to you?
Flashbacks
I detest flashbacks. I particularly loathe a show that relies so heavily on digging into and regurgitating the past. Touch on the main points and get on with it. Do I really need to know who ate what at the cafeteria? Not enough time spent developing the present. I really wanted to like this, but watching is really painful.Was this review helpful to you?
Boring
I only watched this because I like a few of the leads. Couldn't finish it.First, I dislike shows that try too hard to be funny. The "funny" scenes were not. It felt a little bit like slapstick. Not amusing.
Second, the storyline was an endless repeating loop. It got boring quickly.
Most of the acting was good. Unfortunately, they really didn't have much to work with.

Age related confusion
Why does Chinese drama insist on casting someone in their 30s to play a 17 year old? It's so incredibly annoying to try to force my brain to accept something that is so visibly untrue. FL is pretty, a good actress - and obviously not a teenager. I don't think it's enough to make me stop watching but it ruins the overall feeling.But...a new favorite actor! How is it that in all my years of watching C-dramas I have never before encountered Yu En Tai? The man has a face like a rubber mask, emotions changing quickly and effortlessly. And the subtle crazy look was terrifying! I am in awe.
An earlier review stated this needed more episodes and I agree. It felt very rushed in the last five or so episodes and the ending was unsatisfying. Would I watch again? Except for a couple of exceptional actors, I doubt it. But I don't feel I wasted my time.

W.T.F.?
Already don't want to watch. The opening scene is just ridiculous. And set in the wrong place at the wrong time. Is this yet another boring "time travel" show? It's a tired, overused genre. Don’t see how a giant snake can make this worth watching. XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxWas this review helpful to you?
What happened?
I went into this with semi-high expectations given the leads. I can't even get through the first episode. It's just so ridiculous. Ridiculous. Ridiculous. Ridiculous. Ridiculous. Ridiculous. Ridiculous. Ridiculous. Ridiculous. Ridiculous. Ridiculous. Ridiculous. Ridiculous. I love Li Yi Tong, but this was painful.Was this review helpful to you?
