This was my first Taiwanese drama in about 11 years so it's been awhile. The couple is cute and the story is entertaining at times but I don't find the conflicts to be very engaging. It's cute watching the main guy change and evolve throughout the story. The plot reminds me of almost every korean drama and they had all the tropes. Co-habitation, opposites with the guy being a perfectionist and the girl being clumsy and ditzy. It reminded me of Personal Taste but without the gay suspicions and the architectural part of that series. This wasn't my favorite drama of Aaron Yan but perfectly watchable as the chemistry between the leads are sweet and believable. Puff Guo really matched well with this character and gave life to Chen Liang Liang as a bright and cheerful character. She is indeed the Xiao Tai Yang in the drama.

I watched this simply for Aaron Yan. He looked great here and I liked the premise of the main guy having an alter ego. However, the plot fell short after episode 11 and it was kind of a drag from there. I enjoyed the first 11 episodes so much and can rewatch them anytime but the episodes afterwards can be a bit cringey. This is a Taiwanese drama so please keep in mind that things are going to be very exaggerated, actors and actresses WILL overact in situations that would never happen in real life ever, and so yes, it's a little out of this world and the issues that they all go through are easily solved in the end. The soundtrack of this show is all Aaron's voice and I actually enjoyed all the songs that kept replaying throughout each beginning and ending of every episode.

TL;DR watch it for Aaron Yan and his voice then just shut off your brain and enjoy the crazies.

I watched this purely for Song Joong Ki and Song Hye Kyo and boy, did they pay the price for the stunning visuals and spectacular backdrops. The cinematography and visuals were absolutely stunning. SJK ans SHK are beautiful to watch too of course. Definitely a big draw for most people to watch- beautiful to look at. With that said, the plot fell short for me in the last two episodes. Things did not add up and it kind of took the cheap way out but I didn't mind it too much since the other 14 episodes were good. There were some scenes that have you at the edge of your seat holding your breath for a couple of seconds (even though you already know what's going to happen). The music was great, the chemistry was just oozing off the screen. It's worth the hype but don't overthink some of the plot points. Definitely a rewatch for some of the cute cheesy lines the alpha male lead continues to deliver. You may become lactose intolerant after awhile though.

As per usual, Aaron plays a CEO of a company...surprise! I watched it far enough to see the couple get together but then I dropped just because I don't feel like there's anything going on in the drama anymore after the couple got together? like, where is the conflict? it seems like random things were just happening out of nowhere and it did not seem to tie the story together as a whole. I was expecting more tension, etc. It was too much of an easy watch for me. i need something to keep me anticipating for the next week, which, unfortunately, the show did not do for me. So it's a pass.
