Where this show actually shines is with its secondary/side characters. I just wanna thank the high heavens that the writers actually decided to spend a decent amount of time on them because without them I don't think I would've been able to stick with this show.
Reading the reviews I see that the majority actually thought that the main relationship was the biggest draw for this show, but I whole-heartedly disagree. I'm not new to dramas so I know that there are bound to be cliches and tropes in any drama that I watch, doesn't matter if it's an international drama or an American one. I can get past some cliches and general tropes, but if there is one thing that I hate in any drama it's when a situation/couple becomes so contrived that they become an annoyance. Almost everything about Pi Ya Nou and Du Zi Feng was contrived, from their ridiculous sworn brothers ceremony after hours of knowing each other to the reasons that had to look at each other or touch each other. Nothing about these two felt natural to me. It got so bad that I eventually was begging for them to get together not because I cared, but because I figured if they did the writers wouldn't have to think up such contrived ways for them to physically interact. Thankfully when they did get together it did feel a bit more natural, but by that time I didn't give a shit anymore. Couple aside, the individual characters of Du Zi Feng and Pi Ya Nou did nothing for me as well. There was no discerning quality about either of the characters that made me like them or not like them, they were just there for me.
Now the secondary characters (My Loves)
Fan Xiao Bing probably had to be my favorite female character which is a shame because she didn't get nearly enough screen time. She was just such a breath of fresh air. I instantly felt happy when she came on screen. She was so peppy and happy and just a delight to watch. When she was interacting with Pi Ya Nou my general urge to fast-forward ceased because Ya Nou actually managed to have a bit of a personality when with Xiao Bing. I would've loved more interactions between them. Xiao,Bing's interactions with Du Zi Han were also full of win.
Du Zi Han was also another female character that I liked even if she was over the top at times. She was so freaking funny to watch, especially when interacting with Liao Guang Chao. I don't think this show had a character they were trying to make out to be a "bitch" which was just so refreshing. Although if you had to pick out a character that fit that stereotype it would be her. Even when she had her bitchy moments she didn't feel like a bitch to me. I'm not sure if the credit goes to the writers, director or the actress so it's probably a combination.
Yang Na Na was so cute and optimistic despite her circumstances that I just felt drawn to her. She was incredibly strong and extremely charismatic. Her storyline with Wei Qing Yang was my absolute favorite storyline because it felt so real and so natural. It actually stirred emotions in me much better than any of the "emotional" scenes Ya Nou and Zi Feng had. The scenes with them sending messages to God were some of the sweetest and most beautifully shot scenes throughout this entire show. The plane scene was hands down the best scene of the entire show for me. When watching a show a sense of realism is what I tend to be drawn to. I wanna feel like this could actually happen to me. Not a kiss was shared between Na Na and Qing Yang and I still enjoyed their relationship the most.
Wei Qing Yang is a hard character to really describe because I wasn't able to really undestand if his character was supposed to be emotionally detached because of the situation with his parents or if that was just Bii's acting. I'm not familiar with Bii or his acting so it's hard to judge. I feel like perhaps it's how his character was supposed to be because Zi Feng made some comment about Qing Yang never complimenting anyone when he said a slightly nice thing about Na Na. Plus at first he didn't seem to be comfortable with any touching from Na Na's end, which made me believe he's never been in an actual relationship or has opened himself up to anyone before outside of Zi Feng and Uncle Tian. Either way I thought his character was very sweet when it came to Na Na. He just seemed to be very thoughtful when it came to her.
Liao Guang Chao was my favorite male character. Him and his "golden hands" cracked me up. I don't know what Miss Zi Han was talking about when she said he wasn't that good looking...I thought he was pretty cute. Plus he was so sweet and dedicated lol.
Overall the acting was solid. The actress that played Yang Na Na really stood out to me. The scene where she was learning how to make her mom's coffee was so good OMGosh.
The show didn't really have much music at all except for one song that while beautiful, was played so much that I wasn't sure if I liked the song because of the song or because it was played so often.
Rematch value is low for me because while this show does have worthwhile secondary characters the main focus is on Zi Feng and Ya Nou and I couldn't, nor would I, sit through them again. Even if they had some hot kissing scenes (which they did).
