Shuang cheng gu shi

This show has its moments and starts off strong, but the amount of times you have to put with a character overacting and crying constantly just put me off the show.

Ignore all the negative reviews this was a delightful drama, which showed us life in two completely different cities. Be warned there are some real tearjerker scenes, so keep the tissues handy. The cast are great, especial the actor who played one of the two female leads father. The two leading ladies are a delight to watch and the way they portray a more traditional Taiwanese woman and a Taiwanese American is excellent All in all worth worth a watch.

Just finished watching it on Netflix last weekend. Most immigrants from Taiwan to the United States should be able to understand the meaning of loss by immigration and share the feeling of the cultural revival. Because of the backgrounds are set in Taipei and San Francisco, I am completely attracted to the content. Unlike other idol dramas or the *tow* dramas, the director is very careful to use the different time and space in the two cities. The interactions stirs up the long-lost memories in my heart.

This show is horribly directed and produced, and the acting is so awkward and fake.

If you don't understand Taiwanese American culture, you would have a difficult time understanding the nuances in their acting and different plots. I agree that the acting is a bit unnatural, but the screenplay is really well written. The scenes, the dialogues, and the contextual setting truly reflect the sophistication among educated Taiwanese, who usually migrate to the US. This show really resonates with the Taiwanese American community and it's good for any audience who are interested in Taiwanese/Taiwanese American culture.
