Ni shi wo de ming zhong zhu ding

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.

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.

I started this series with high hopes, and it delivered - till around the 14th episode. After that, all the episodes were superfluous and only dedicated to exasperating the viewer & possibly, extending the series.

I particularly despised the character of the female protagonist, who is portrayed as an absolute imbecile, and even that, she does unconvincingly.

This is also the first series amongst all that I have seen till date that I just jumped, after torturing myself till the 22nd episode, to the last one.

Don't be like me. Please just give this a miss. You'll save yourself from insane stupidity & abysmal levels of lethal toxicity, especially in the latter two-thirds of the show.

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.

The story line was cute. It shows how love can grow between two people and how misunderstandings can become a hurdle that needs to be dealt with properly. I personally felt the story dragged a bit, but overall I recommend this because it's cute, dramatic, and romantic.
