This is one of the best Chinese Dramas/RomComs I have ever watched even if I include the ones I watched before the "pandemic season". True, there were still parts that could be skipped, but if you are interested in the business world, I suggest you should not skip them.I love that even if there are a lot of sweet moments, and some kisses that would make you feel happy, we viewers weren't given overdoses that would make us yell, "Enough already!"
There were parts where I was reminded of Sheryl Cruz's role---originally played by Ms. Chanda Romero---in IKAW LANG ANG MAMAHALIN (I would've placed the link of that episode where Amara's obsession to Ferdinand was so obvious, but it made me cringe, so...), but the roles were kind of reversed(Linda Du and Du Lei).
There are five(5) main characters: The OTP(2 people), The best friend of the FL and the cousin of ML(Even if Riley Wang is more handsome here, I'm so sorry, but I skipped most of the scenes between these two...when they finally "figured it out" it was sooo sweet...I'm glad I didn't miss that), and that other other guy who loves the FL so much. Sigh, I just hated the parts where love turned into obsession. Oh well...(he's not the despicable one)
I like the twists and turns, plus the redeeming factors of most of the villains, but there's one villain who is so despicable, that only God is allowed to forgive him, if and only if he is repentant.
Sigh. I won't make a review, or something similar to a review anymore.
I will just lead you to links that, in my opinion, would help you decide if you should watch this or not. Just scroll down.
Thanks for your time.
