Mixed feelings - suspense, touching, frustrating, angry
This drama covers a wide scope of activities, various incidences onboard the cruise, stories behind several groups of tourists, individuals, couples. Overboard, rude reactions from angry customers when something goes wrong which may be very factual in reality. Some elements of romance here and there with a few couples. Found the mothers of Ding Kai and ZiYang to be incredibly young. The matching of male and female leads is disappointing. Not only by looks but also by how their characters were written. What seem to be the principles of the female lead failed to project a plus point for her. Instead, watching her clumsiness, stupidity and dumbness is most frustrating. This result to female lead being totally "unfit" to be the match for the male lead who is always prim and proper, almost perfect, capable, disciplined and good looking. There is hardly any interactions between the two leads, let alone romantic moments. Hence, when the male lead confesses his love, a sense of "out of the blue" was felt. Also worth mentioning is that the acting skills of the rest, especially that of Hans', Lawrence's, "Captain Derek"'s are commendable. Lovely touching music pieces.. The drama's an eye opener for those who have not been on cruise.
