A young travel executive whose overseas old sweetheart just returned met a feisty young doctor
Plot/Story 8/10
This romance drama appears to be a typical story of quarreling couples who ended up getting romantically involved. The drama also had the typical interruption of their life from their respective parents. Although the story ends well, I still find that it is a little bit sad and wonder if the intention of the writers were to provide more mystery to the story. I did not fully like the direction of the story at the end, although it is not the worst drama story. For this reason, I gave a lower score for the plot/story. I also find that the drama appears to be too long; and with that many episodes, it becomes difficult to predict the outcome of the romantic story that the two main characters are heading.
Cast/Characters
Cast 8.5/10
Yuan Hao is the travel executive played by handsome and known actor Hu Ge. The feisty young eye doctor is Dr. Mao Xiao Chun, played by Wang Xiao Chen. Hao's current girlfriend who just arrived back from the USA is Shan shan, played by beautiful Xu Ba Hui. Zhu Tao is a Beijing owner of a local cafe and friend of Hao, played by Xu Ya Jun. A young, rich guy who started to join the company where Hao works is Luo Yi Yang, played by Elvis Han. Actor Lu Liang played as Hao's dad - an owner of a qipao dress store. Fang fang played as Shan shan's mom, Aunty Pang.
I do not know much about actress Ms. Wang as Dr. Mao, but she looks OK and nothing special. I do like the appearance of actress Xu Ba Hui, and she is pretty and gracious. I also thought that she and Hu Ge would be a better match than between Hu Ge and Ms. Wang.
Characters 8.5/10
The film drama shows the many occasional quarrels and conflicts between Dr. Mao and Hao, culminated with the fire cracker pranks by Dr. Mao and later on by trapping Dr. Mao on top of of the Ferris wheel as a revenge from Hao.
I can feel the frustration of Shan shan when she confronted Hao about the marriage. However, I also found that her western education's manner and etiquettes do not sit well with Hao's up-bringing in China. Therefore, there appears to be a big gap on the connection between the hearts of these two characters after she left for the USA 10 years ago. She finally, however accepted this difference with grace and dignity by returning to the USA without him. They finally parted and she just wants to keep loving him and becomes old friends.
The introduction of young character Luo Yi Yang was a little mystery initially, i.e. who is he> and why he suddenly enters into the life of this drama. Eventually, the mystery is solved. I do not particularly like the extra story about Zhu Tao's niece and relationship with Luo Yi yang, the pet store, etc., which adding too much of the story to this drama.
Music 7/10
Nothing special on the music and tunes of this drama
Re-watch value 7/10
I enjoyed re-watching the beginning of the drama when the two main characters clashed; and near the end when some tragic accident happens.
Scenery/Filmography 7/10
Some nice sceneries and shootings of the grassland, complete with nice huts. Memorable night scene when Shan shan and Hao met together to finally face the fate of their relationship.
Personal comments
- I like the way Shan shan dealt her relationship with Hao. She recognized how things have changed over the last 10 years, and decided to break up with him amicably. She looks so beautiful when she smiles and so understanding.
- both qipao dresses worn by Dr. Mao (white) and Shan shan (blue) are beautiful. I like it better on the one worn by Shan shan.
- I do not particularly like the introduction of Bing bing's character, and the story about expensive handbags drama.
- I do not particularly like the girl who played as Xu'er - Zhu Tao's niece. She looks and behaves like a tomboy. In my opinion, some of her and Lou Yi yang's comic were not funny.
