Inborn Pair

Really loved this series especially the Life and Love struggles of the betrothed characters by Annie Chen ( Yi-Jie) and Chris Wang ( Wei Xiang) They both struggle with Love Trust Feelings and Marriage previous relationship hurt and the lack of relationship experience. Through obligation and duty to family the marriage developers their bond to grow and love.

Family always supporting although sometimes got too involved being judgmental. However the Family Values of love and support is strong a feel good story of Family

Although long with many episodes Loved every episode watched the series twice. After finished the first watch started over and watched again. Plan on watching again a third time Realized as watching that there were many words I was familiar with and understood having taken only 2 years to learn Mandarin and Found that this series was helpful and great to further learn listening to the Mandarin language.

I agree with most of the other reviews that this series was too long. All the female actresses were good as well as the performance by the idiotic brother. The series would have been much better if they cast someone other than Chris Wang. That guy needs to work on his acting. Whenever an issue happened in the story he would make that stupid, "I don't know/confused look." After seeing that expression every other scene it's hard to root for the guy. After awhile it just looked like he had to take a dump in the middle of the scene. The writing for Chris Wang's character could have been better too. It was hard to watch one of the main characters be a confused fool the entire show and then be happy for him at the end.

Enjoyable at times but way too long, All the young actrices are gorgeous. Love Annie Chen. I find the main couple's behavior because for over half the show, they are in love and nothing happent between them. You will have to fast forward quite a bit!

Why was Luo Yun not exposed for all of underhanded dealings and why did Dongyang who was upright with his dealings Yijie until he was lured into it by Luo Yun. Her father should have known the reason he slapped her into sense.

I review this based on a comparison with other Asian dramas.

If you like drama/romances where both main characters are immature and innocent, this should appeal to you. It starts off with instant conflict and, as most Asian dramas, the drama comes and goes without really being totally resolved until the last episode or two. The story revolves around three main couples who are related to each other. One rich family who owns a resort/hotel/zoo and the romances of the daughter and two sons.

I do have a few issues with the production values. The audio is horrible, sometimes the music is louder than the voices and in one scene a car is driving on what must be a cobblestone street where not only does the audio bounce but the video as well.

The other thing that bothered me was the business decisions. Even in Asia it makes no sense to have the legal department punish an employee when they make a mistake, especially before the business loss is actual. In most of the companies I've worked for, mistakes are expected and you learn from them. Getting the legal department involved is idiotic, as well as firing an employee just because of a mistake. Pure lunacy from a management point-of-view.

Overall, worth watching, there is good chemistry between the characters. And, it does have some funny moments, many from when a gangster boss' daughter gets involved with the playboy son. This can be watched by younger viewers with only a few allusions to sexual situations and mostly threatened rather than actual violence. The English subtitles are better than average, but not always accurately translated. Just don't expect U. S. production values.
