I don't always rate dramas more than 9/10, but this one is EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD! A DEFINITE MUST WATCH! As a Singaporean, I enjoyed it even more with so many scenes filmed in Singapore hahas!
I had always been Ariel Lin's fan. I love her acting in both seasons of 'It started with a kiss'. As expected, she not only did not disappoint me, but also gave me a refreshing side of her. It may be the first time she act as an office worker, and she had had portrayed her character very well! Her character is one which, if not portrayed well, will probably be seen as one who is very strong and unreasonable, but she managed to bring the cute and weak side of her character out too.
I had never watched any shows Chen Bo Lin participated in, but this show definitely left a deep impression of him. He successfully brought out the tender side of his character. It is no wonder so many viewers hope to have a 'Da Ren Ge' beside them! (including me hahas)
The story line and the script are very well written and plotted out. From BFF to BGF, the story left viewers to be always on the hold. 'omg when will they get together? When?When?' The lines are very well thought, we can tell the writer had sufficient knowledge of the troubles and worries a 30 year old woman has. I watched a video where the writer confessed she had inspiration from people around her. Thanks to her dedication, we have a good story and good script which brings out the characters and their relationships so well!
The OST is great. In fact i find the OSTs for this drama the best out of other taiwan dramas, in line with 'The Fierce Wife' The song and lyrics suit the drama so much. This is unlike many other dramas which just (almost) anyhow find songs to be their OSTs in my opinion.
I like how for each episode a message about 30 year old women is highlighted. Super cool! I look foward to every message for each episode!
Another highlight of this show is its marketing. Among so many taiwan and korean dramas, i feel that this show has the best marketing strategy! The facebook page for this drama is frequently updated, merchandise such as T-shirts, the script, water bottles are released for dedicated fans. Most important of all, its trailers are awesome. They never reveal too much of the story, but manage to tempt me to watch. I like the concept of the 'lion head' (those who watch will know what i mean). So cute with a meaning behind this concept! I even bought the limited edition script from Taiwan!
However, there are pitfalls. No drama is perfect. Maggie and one other supporting guy (forget his name) can do better. Well this show is the first show they participated in, so i can't blame them. Sunny could have done a better job too. But other experienced actors like the 2 mothers and the father, and even you qing's family had done a fantastic job, which off right the 3's understandard acting.
In all, this drama can be so successful because of the dedication the team (both backstage and actors) put in! Too good for a drama to miss! Plus, if you are a Singaporean, don't forget to catch the cameo of Jessica Liu and one other actor (forget his name, but he is famous). Also, >30% of the scenes are filmed in Singapore, featuring the airport, HDB flats, Little India, MBS, Singapore Flyer, the Merlion and many more singapore landmarks! It is so heart whelming to watch when our tiny red dot is featured in such an awesome production! >
