This is my first few viewing of chinese romantic dramas , it was mushy , romantic - straight out of mills and boon.
Wallace Chung as the tall, dark, handsome, brusque, broody, tough, shrewd was absolutely fantastic . He played his character perfectly. The parts were he goes soft absolutely makes you fall in love with him for a lifetime .
Tang was superb in her role too ... there were some scenes that gave you a heartache just for her .
The journey from a young love to adulthood was portrayed brilliantly.
However there were flaws in the script , continuity , costumes and art direction , edits . There were too many repeated flashback scenes. After a point it was very boring . The 31st episode could have been avoided completely , did not add any value to the storyline .
The main character female lead was flawed in the script . Why do we have to portray woman not so good enough for a handsome , broody ,coquettish man. I disliked that repeatedly Zhao moshang was addressed as not great , average , stuttering , girl . I wish her return FROM USA was portrayed as a successful, calm and confident girl .
Model Xiao xiao clothes were bad and her casuals blue and white shirt were repeated multiple times , same shirt she was wearing even after 2 years . . Yime was very irritating and till the end remained unexposed .( one of the reasons for moshang to not pursue yichen was what yimie had told her ) I wanted yichen to know about that .
Secondly moshang "s USA life should have been told only once not multiple times in flashback . Art direction the changed curtains ( by moshang after her marriage ) is shown when yichen is standing and looking before he married moshang .
The house was cold and unappealing wish they had more attention to art . The treasure magazine interiors was drab and pathetic .
The art direction and script writer needs a rap on the knuckle . The hospital scene was cringe , it was downright exaggerated. The scene when yichen finds her bags packed for hongkong was over exaggerated and bad acting . I strongly condemn these scenes as it's domestic assault with legal repercussions. I strongly detest stories where men are put at a pedestal. Yichen did not treat her well in the second half and any girl with a little bit of pride would have not got married to him.
Can we rewrite the story with these brilliant actors once again.
In my story the college love remains the same . But adulthood is different . Moshang is a successful photographer, and the drunk scene with Ying rattles her . Moshang asks for a divorce , and ofcourse the divorce scene remains the same. Moshang takes up a short assignment in China as her current employer wants her to do couple of shoots in China .( she works for a plush magazine ). Moshang is hesitant to take up this assignment but her boss encourages and insists . Moshang having no choice comes to china .
Moshang arrives as a successful photographer and has to complete her assignments and go back .
All are in awe as moshang who never took studies seriously is now an ace photographer. She has cordial relationships with all , but yichen does not know how to approach her cos she has changed a lot . From the outgoing spunky girl she has changed to calm and collected woman . The things yichen use to say and getaway with it , now she no longer responds to it .
This relationship is of equals . Yichen has to work towards his relationship to get moshang back . Nothing deters moshang , as she knows the fact that yichen will dump her once again .
Moshang who use to blurt out every little detail is now difficult to be read . Ying also pursues moshang , and gives tough competition to yichen . Moshang during one of thier college meets comes across girls who r pursuing yichen , but moshang refrains to comment or join . Eventually all is well with yichen and moshang .
