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.

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.

Story itself is okay but the Taiwan actress Nian-Nian really give false impression for those not know real Taiwanese. Taiwanese women weren't like that at all. She is stupid, don't know what's her life is pursuing, day dreaming and spoiled. Not referring to the character she acted, the acting by the actress make her look like a moron. During the whole show, I can't count how many times I would like to hit someone when see that Nian-Nian. That's the main reason I rated for 3. The drama is advertising Taiwan totally fine by me, indeed it score 3 cuz of the nice scene took. But just don't distort the imagine of Taiwanese women please.

This show was very good, westerners may need a bit of an open mind to watch a series full of subs but it is well worth it and not all has subs.

I am English my partner Malaysian Chinese and this was a very good show we could easily relate too.

Hoping for a season 2

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

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.

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.
