I was waiting to watch this drama since it came out last year. I jumped onboard to watch it all once I knew the subs were available.
I am writing this as a massive fan of the original Taiwanese version. That one is hard to top and this version certainly does not.
However, I felt like it was a fun drama if you skip over a few boring parts. Whether the story appeals to you is something else because I enjoy romance, angst and tragedy rolled into one. The story is not light, and watching this version gave me the same thoughts I had about the original one.
Story: I highly recommend this if you are a fan of love triangles. This is one of the best-written love triangles in drama land. The story is a bit outdated and circa 2000s so ignoring that, it can be remade many times. The story is a bit frustrating and unrealistic at times. The characters are hard to relate to and hard to like - and that is what makes it fun. The protagonists are flawed, dark and trying to have an epic romance while living their very terrible lives. (I think I might be turning one off by how I am describing it). However this version much more airier and upbeat to look that. The camera quality and filming is much better nowadays so I am glad they didn't film it in the dark with depressing filters.
Acting: I felt like the acting was okay. I haven't seen the leads in any of their past roles but I feel like they have potential. The main actress is beautiful to look at and the guys are both handsome. At times the male actors were better than the female lead but I feel like she was more convincing than Barbie Hsu in the original one.
Ending: The ending is quite fine although some dose of nonsense tragedy makes it not the most perfect show. The story has flaws and I feel like they could have made some changes to make it a bit less depressing. No one watches the same kind of melodramas like they did years back. So in some ways it is not very fitting or a trendy show for 2018-19.
However, if you like love triangles, possessive male leads and tragedy then show is for you. The ending isn't awful so it's quite fine to invest your time and emotions into the story because at least the leads have a happy ending lol.
