I started this drama because of Cheng Joe, although I was a bit reluctant by the poorly rated reviews. It wasn't easy to watch at the beginning. I mean, the first episode was fine because created the tension for the setting and make you want to continue to discover how the story would develop, but after few episodes starts to be boring and really confusing. You don't know where the plot is leading and characters sometimes seemed so plane. Being a drama where the male lead (Cheng) plays a role sort of investigator (although he is an anchorman) is missing the point to keep you interested in discover what is hidden and willing to know what happens next. The music is nice but too repetitive sometimes. Actors, I think they do well, the problem is that the storyline do not allow them bright more in their roles. Although you can see how hard they try to give the best in their scenes.
After all said until now you would probably think there is not much worth in watching it. Therefore, I would give you my reasons for what I recommend this drama.
Even if I criticized the lack of mystery and thrill, the plot isn't bad. Though the idea could be much better if they cut a lot of unnecessary filling. I feel also that lead actors need more deepness and appeal at the beginning so you can empathise and care for what happen to them. However from the half of the drama toward to the end, everything amazingly changes for better. The characters turn more attractive and have more presence in the story with really good dramatic and touching sequences. Kuo Amber becomes the protagonist in this second part where everything spins around her. I loved the teasing of Cheng in this drama and his tenderness towards her. Cheng always masters the romantic scenes in all his dramas and this one is not an exception.
So if you have patience and don't give up at the beginning you would enjoy more with the direction the story takes later on.
