A girl lost her husband and must face her life alone with people wanting to take advantage of her.
Plot/Story
This is a drama of romance sprinkled with suspence and secrecy. It tells a story on how gullible most of us on our daily life are. Our life is full of lies, deceits, and we are being manipulated by those in power, be they would our own families including our parents, our friends, our work place, our societies or even our authorities. The world is basically going around involving money, and no one can avoid being influenced or affected by it. Furthermore, it is even worse for those who want to live a simple life, or relinguishing their life to others. It only dawns on them, when one day they have to suddenly face their life alone. It is like someone who does not know how to swim and suddenly has to jump into water - be that a pool, a river or an ocean.
Ruan Zhen Zhen is a young girl, who married a financier who she knew from childhood. She is a loner, surrounded by just her family in-laws, as well as by Su Wen, an ambitious girl who shared an unusual past medical history. Unusual, as despite their differing personalities and ambitions, both has been considered by others as "two peas in a pod" through a unique and secretive bond only shared by themselves.
The sky is falling on Zhen zhen when her husband suddenly passed away in an accident. Starting with his own families, she had the misfortune to be burdened in such a young age with heavy lawsuits. Everybody thought that she has the money that her husband mysteriously collected through his financial dealings and currently unaccounted for. The company where her husband work, her families who did not particularly approved of her, and her lawyer assigned by Su Wen are all looking for the money and some other valuable things. Even her close friend - Su Wen was not known initially for her intention towards her.
Slowly the drama took its twists and turns, and finally provided her with some guiding lights toward her future and independence, while finding a new true love along the way. You will find that Zhen zhen hardly smile in the first half of the episodes, and when she started to open up and felt more secure and happy, the audience would feel the joy and share with her excitements. At the end, her forgiving character provided a warm feelings towards the one sad, cold feeling, simple minded and in-experienced girl who was portrayed in almost half of the drama episodes.
Cast/Characters
Casts
I like both of the leading players of this drama: Elvira Cai Wen Jing as Ruan Zhen Zhen, and Peng Guan Ying as Lawyer Gao Jun/Tan Sheng. I can feel the genuine sparks in some of the episodes that they played. Elvira has her natural beauty, with her beautiful eyes, her luscious lips, her dark, long hair, and her slender figure. In one episode, she had her straight hair changed to a pony tail , but it did not change her very pretty appearance. Peng has his tall figure, and his handsome face. The contrasting 1.65m of Elvira's height and 1.89m of Peng's height was just perfect when they were filmed close together, especially when they were hugging with close feelings to each other. There was one episode where he showed his height chart on the wall of an old factory where he used to come, which showed moments of romantic encounter between the two of them. Then, there was another occasion where they were talking about love notes that was written by him and posted in the old public school.
Characters
The first half of the drama mostly showing the sad and sometimes upset or angry Zhen zhen. Her often starring eyes penetrated to the people who met her. It portrayed well on the character who was lost, confused or frustrated with her conditions. When she started to warm up and accepting more of her lawyer's attention, it was nice to start seeing her smiling, showing her charms, and more talkative character. The conversation between Zhen zhen and Su Wen was priceless to watch, when her heart started to warm up as she talked about her lawyer trying to kiss her for the first time.
Lawyer Gao Jun's character was business-like, but it was difficult to judge since the beginning on how he liked Zhen zhen, or how he had his own agenda and be a deceitful person in this drama. Nevertheless, he gradually became fascinated with Zhen zhen's character, started to express his feelings toward her, and looked for an opportunity to stay or get invited into her home.
Yang Yi Tong, who played Su Wen was always business-like, modern person. Her presence since the beginning make people wonder about her actual role or agenda as a close friend of Zhen zhen. In the end, it was Zhen zhen who provided Su Wen with help in shaping her own future, while keeping their close relationship.
In this world, there are always characters such as Mr. Fang - the big boss, who just sit in the office, drinking coffee or wines, entertaining some friends, waiting phone calls, or gave business orders. There are other characters, such as the nervous operation manager Mr. Qiu, or his subordinate Mr. Lu Yang, whose intentions or agenda were in question.
Zhen zhen husband's family has always been pestering her life and made her miserable. You Gang - her brother in law was a useless guy, who liked to gamble to get an easy way out, dealt with shady loan shark characters, and liked to drink. It is sad to know that he has a pregnant wife who needed his love, care and attention. In the beginning, he was nice to Zhen zhen and helped her, but he then got himself into financial trouble. Finally, he sobered up and changed his way around to help those who are more important to his life.
Music
A quite catchy, but sometimes eerie theme song. It has a mystic tune and lyrics which contain beautiful whispers of romance and love. The music in this drama sometimes gave hopes to those who are sad, upset or facing difficult life. At other times, it provided memorable moments to watch and support the characters of the drama.
Rewatch Value
I have enjoyed rewatching some of the episodes containing the beautiful moments. Iblike to watch the moments when Zhen zhen started to smile and appreciate the help of her true friends. I like to watch the beautiful sceneries, night shots, and moments where Zhen zhen and Gao Jun were close together.
Scenery/Filmography
This drama contains excellent cinematographic techniques, with beautiful sceneries taken on night shots, fireworks, glowing beach at night, spectacular shot of the library, shots of winding roads and grandma old house, and the white coffee house on top ofvthe hill facing the water front.
Personal Comments
- Elvira Cai is just simply beautiful. She has excellent acting abilities, grace and charms.
- I also like Xiao Wu as a support role and though lady.
- I was confused when in one episode, there was Zhen zhen's 18th birthday. Was she supposed to be that young? It made the lawyers and Su Wen being in experienced, considering they are senior in her school, but must finish their university education. Should this be 28th birthday instead?
- Red Velvet cake - Zhen zhen's favourite cake
- 1/2 Coffee house on top of the hill with spectacular view of the waterfront.
- a magic moment when Zhen zhen laid down in a sofa, and GaobJun gave her the sugar cubes, and she did the same...
- I was wondering why Gao Jun/ Tan Sheng got Zhen zhen to stay at the camp van at the beach. As a lawyer protecting her, it was a bad timing and not a good decision????
