A working girl coping with daily life to please her family and boss to secure her own happiness
Story
It is a rollercoaster drama, with the beginning story to be completely different at the end. Lots of interesting and intricate plots. The layout of the story is slightly unconventional, with the dramatic events do not happen at the end.
Casts/ Characters
I like the overall performance of the main casts. Mai Cheng huan is pretty, Mr Yao is stern at the beginning, but becoming charming and mellow at the end. Grandma' performance is excellent and has many wisdoms. I do not particularly like the casting for Jia Liang, nor Chenzao. Not bad performance for Mao. Performance of Mrs. Mai can also be annoying, as she wants to control her kids and husband.
Music
Some memorable, soft music in some of the dramatic moments in the film
Rewatch
I want to rewatch some of the dramatic moments in order to absorbs the meaning and understanding of the story.
Scenery/Filmography
Nice background shots of the river, Shanghai skyline, village town and field rice terraces. Beautiful architecture of old building, old big house and Xing'anli hotel. Nice photographic lightings of some of the night layout
Personal comments
- prettiest cast by Wang Zi Wei as Mr. Xin's secretary.
- character of Zhang Zhi Yu ended up to be a nice young girl, ready to adapt at the Xing'anli environment
- during storm at the hotel, Mr Yao's act in holding the wooden stakes appears awkward and unreal.
- grandma performance is very commendable.
- sometimes felt frustrated with the characters of the drama, being too stuborn, and annoying.
