Let me just start off by saying this was a good drama. It's very much the classic rich guy/poor girl drama, but it definitely has it charms. There are lot of lessons learnt by the characters throughout and fun moments between the couples as well. This also follows four and a half different couples, plus Shan Shan's friendships as well, so there's a good bit packed in there. There's a lot for her to overcome so she can be happy with Feng Teng. Also, I thought it was funny that her character development seemed to be signaled by her changing hair styles, but maybe that's just me.
That being said, there were a couple things that irked me about this. One, it's long. Longer than it needed to be at least. It could have been condensed by more than a couple episodes for sure, but all the loose ends were tied up because of its length. Second, all the characters made such a huge deal about Feng Teng's money and status, that it really started to get to me. I know they did it to show society's stereotypes/negative connotations about being rich, but it REALLY started to annoy me. Just let them be happy for heavens sake.
However, there was enough sweetness and character development to get past the few negatives, and the acting was tipty top notch. Definitely give this a try if you're in the mood for something sweet and cliché.
