When I first read the description about story I was already sold and gone looking for the first episode straight away. I like the traditional rich man-poor girl kind of dramas and this had unique story so it picked my interest right away. And I have to say this was propably the best taiwanese romance drama I have ever seen. Don't hang on too much to that "rich man-poor girl" part though because eventually it didn't even show much, they did a good job with scripting.
But why did I rate it 8.5 if I thought it was so phenomenal? Let me explain:
There was one part in the drama where writers made a mistake of falling into a very cliche plotline. It was like straight out from text book and I was so close hitting my computer screen because I was so frustrated with the character in question who created whole scene... Lucky for me it didn't last that long (thank god) because some dramas can drag quite a bit. Apart from that one problematic scene, I really really loved this drama.
So, story was that through some events Zhang Chen and Yu Xi end up working together, Yu Xi being a caretaker for blind Zhang Chen. At first they start off with wrong foot but eventually grow up close. This drama centers their relationship of how it becomes from work related to romantic. Zhang Chen has to deal with trauma related issues from losing his fiancee. Yu Xi also has her own troubles even though she seems to have cheerful easygoing character at first.
Main leads had great chemistry, like seriously! I was drawn into their story and I was always waiting for new scenes about them in it. If main leads won't have chemistry, all they do is make viewer cringe when they're doing something romantic. But in this drama I was doing 'wow's in my head because it really worked between these two leads. Usually I tend to have bad second lead syndrome but in this drama I fell so hard for the main couple that I almost skipped every second lead scenes xD Don't get me wrong, second leads did a very good job and were so cute together. But I thoroughly enjoyed watching main couple.
Other side roles were important too apart from main leads best friends (they had surprisingly few scenes). Zhang Chen's parents were funny, especially his step-father.
So my conclusion is that this is a must watch for every taiwanese romance drama fans. I'm definetly going to rewatch this sometime later.
