A lot of episodes, ending could have been better.

NOTE: The spoilers will be put at the end of my review, so you can read it if you want.

BACKGROUND INFO--------------------------------------
Qiao Man (female lead) is a girl who lives in Barcelona with her boyfriend Han Sen. Qiao Man was actually originally Nan Shen. Nan Shen was raised by her father. Lin He Ping (male lead) was raised by his mother. Nan Shen and Lin He Ping's parents decided to get married. But before their wedding day, Nan Sheng's dad was hit by a truck, and passed away. So Lin He Ping's mom took care of Nan Sheng. Lin He Ping and Nan Sheng were technically siblings, but they eventually fell in love with each other. Lin He Ping's mother didn't approve of their relationship, and they both split up in high school. Nan Sheng wanted a break so she traveled to see the ocean. She sent Lin He Ping a text telling him where she was, but the message was noticed by Xu Ah Li. Xu Ah Li was a great friend of Lin He Ping, but she loved him too. She deleted the message, and went to find Nan Sheng. Nan Sheng fell into the water and was rescued by Han Sen on the shore of Barcelona. Nan Sheng lost her memory, and filled in with a new identity - Qiao Man. Several years later, Lin He Ping and Qiao Man meet in Barcelona's town square when Lin He Ping was on a business trip. Lin He Ping thought it was Nan Sheng, but because Qiao Man lost her memory years ago, she didn't know what he was talking about. Lin He Ping and Qiao Man became good friends, and flew back to China together for their own reasons. Many of Nan Sheng's childhood friends, including Xu Ah Li were perplexed to see Qiao Man, given that she looked so similar to Nan Sheng. But none of them except for Han Sen knew that Qiao Man really was Nan Sheng. Qiao Man and Lin He Ping's relationship develops and they start to date. But the jealous Xu Ah Li creates misunderstandings between the two, and the leads have to clear the air for themselves and for each other.

STORY------------------------------------------------------
Okay...definitely the aspect of this drama that is emphasized in pretty much every review. It was a pretty good storyline, I thought it was going to be interesting. Things were going smoothly, but towards the end, most of the episodes were just flashbacks of the leads' childhood. So the format was basically: The leads meet, explain a little bit of backstory, develop relationship, conflict starts, starts revealing truth, childhood rewind of what exactly happened, truth completely revealed, end. I am honestly really surprised I didn't drop this drama, since the story got so boring halfway. There was 1000% no need for so many episodes, which makes me even more surprised I finished the drama. The ending, was definitely the most disappointing part of the whole drama. (reveal in the spoilers at the bottom)

ACTING/CAST----------------------------------------------
I feel like the whole reason I started watching this drama was for the cast. I love Jelly Lin and Song Wei Long. The character Xu Ah Li really got on my nerves, I wanted to punch the screen every single time she did or said something unethical. But that means the actress for that role was really good. I also appreciate the effort put into the backstory, which made it better, but what I really liked was the change between Nan Sheng and Qiao Man. Nan Sheng is a very gentle, passionate, easy to be pushed around type of girl, whereas Qiao Man is strong, expressive, not easy to be pushed around type of girl. So for the most part, she was the smarter lead in the story. But the fact that this determined girl was fooled by Xu Ah Li's little lie really mixed up my view of her character. I love the acting and the cast, but I do think the character of Lin He Ping could be built better. I wish he was more of the strong Qiao Man, with a powerful stand in his actions and decisions.

MUSIC----------------------------------------------------------
I don't remember much of the music besides the intro, and I always skipped over it since it wasn't too great.

REWATCH VALUE--------------------------------------------
I know giving this section a 1.0 star may seem cruel or over judged, but I really can't give it a higher rating. 56 episodes! I doubt anyone would ever watch this again, given it's frustrating ending. Watching these 50 episodes AGAIN would definitely not be worth it. Others may have different opinions about this, but I don't think this is worth rewatching, knowing my emotions will be wasted for such an ending, and such decisions of the characters.

OVERALL------------------------------------------------------
I think the writer had really good views on the backstory of the characters but I don't see where the story went. The ending should have been better. The execution of the storyline was not as good as it should be. I am sad to say that this is probably the worst drama I've watched so far, but I appreciate it's efforts. Overall, 7.0, which is considered "okay" in my view. Not sure I would suggest it to anyone though.

SPOILERS BELOW:
I have repeatedly said throughout my review that the ending was the worst part. There is pretty much no difference in terms of relationship status between the leads from the start to end. In the beginning they were just friends, in the end, they became just friends. Qiao Man decided to stay with Han Sen and go back to Barcelona, even though her heart was with Lin He Ping. So the leads separated for a whole year, and the drama ending with them as friends meeting once again in Barcelona. Pretty disappointing ending for such a wonderful backstory.
