Ni shi wo de ming zhong zhu ding

Love this show. Amazing chemistry between Xing Zhaolin and Jiang Jie. It started as an innocent meeting of two people with opposite backgrounds, and as fate would have it, brought them together. This show offers - break ups, heartaches, friendship, family ties, tradition, love, honor, compassion, humility and charity. So many misunderstandings. This show proved that communication is the key to a healthy relationship. The story can dragged on too long but they have merit as background stories. With the English sub-title, I have to rewatch this show twice to fully understand and appreciate it. Soundtrack is amazing as well.

The story with its twists seemed to keep its footing until Ep. 21-22. Then it started to feel like "throw everything at the wall and see what sticks". This could have easily been 28-30-episode series. The content would have been tighter, and the editing wouldn't have felt sloppy. By the time you get to the last episodes, you just want it to be over. The resolutions feel rushed where it's more of an OK at the end instead of HOORAY. I wanted to give it a solid 8 or 8.5 by how the first few episodes were going. But due to at least 7 episodes feeling like 'fluff', that could easily be removed with the same outcome, made the story drag and lose its charm. I have to stick with 7.

This series was cute at first. I like light, overcoming obstacles, karma, etc. However, this genre tends to go for extremes with oppressing the heroine and then exaggerated issue the are borderline trashy soap opera.

I started skipping forward. The I realized that I just didn't care about seeing the resolution anymore and stopped watching.

This genre is also big on bullying, classist, abusive behavior and misogyny. I started watching for light subject without nudity. I was happy that this story started out being different from the norm. I think I just need to seek out a different genre.

My other issue: 36 episodes. Had I realized it was that many I would've skipped it in the first place. Most of these series could be delivered well in 16 episodes. The extra episodes are a good indicator of overkill.

It's ok. It has alot of similarity as to the korean drama "Fated to love by you" The male lead script is good so as his character in the drama but thr female lead, you get tired of her script pretty fast, she says sorry for everything & anything. It's too exaggerated. Then at the later stage when she gain confidence, the drama begins to become draggy as her hesitation to accepts the male lead apology or admits that she loves him, becomes boring. She says the same thing again & again though he tries numerous times & ways to prove his love.

Suddenly she becomes egocentric, she only thinks about herself & not others, nor his pain too!

Her bestfriend who is always by her side, the grandma who loves her, the auntie who accepts her, the younger cousin too. Almost 6 episodes are all about her pain.

In the beginning you sympathise her & feel her pain but later you get fed-up of her & her pain.

It's an OK romantic drama.

Liked this drama however the Korean version of this drama justifies both male and females characters reasons are logical. Here the male character had to suffer because no proper communication at all between them because the female character becomes so stubborn and does not want to confront him at all and understand the reason. The female character always believes a third person, she even believes a love rival but fails to confront his husband even though he clearly says its over between him and his ex. Thats very sad for the guy and gives a reason to not like the female character who does not want to communicate because of her ignorance... hope writers portray "Love should always be from both sides and they should not jump to conclusions before confronting their partners".
