I was told this would be really awesome, and based on the description i had somewhat good expectations, not too high but i didn't think it would suck. i have mixed feelings, it's kinda really long, 20 episodes is not short, it's not a historical drama with 100+ so i'm happy but it's not a 11 episode drama.
It seems it tried a lil bit to borrow from other dramas, the incest love from winter sonata, a prearranged marriage from many other dramas, the unaccepting parent, it seems to try too hard to be romantic, rather than allow it to just BE that way. Rainie Yang was cute, Mike He did ok, everyone says he's an awesome actor, i think they're just mesmerized by his looks, he IS a model after all. The insert music was actually pretty good. made me go back and find rainie yang's albums and give em a listen.
overall an ok series, although might be though to go through with 20 episodes
