Happen to watch this on a whim cause I wanted a break from Kdramas and the synopsis sounded right up my alley...
Story: I really really liked it. It wasn't that predictable with a lot of things happening that I wasn't expecting. It also wasn't so much a comedy but there were some silly scenes thrown in, some which took away from the quality story telling. I loved the ending it was perfect.
Acting/Cast: Oh dear I must talk about Roy Chiu first even though he wasn't the first lead. This was my introduction to him and I'll tell you now, he will win your heart so much so that you'll wish the writers did a last minute switch up of the final loveline. His subtle but natural acting out-shined Blue Lan. Speaking of Blue, his acting was so stiff that his character development although written well, was just not believable. He had all these great emotional scenes and none of it reached the level it could have. He did have chemistry with Joe which made for a watchable romance. Joe is one of the better Taiwanese actresses out there but sometimes the overacting her character called for was annoying. For the supporting I have to mention Xiu Jie Kai who I've seen in a lot of T dramas but always makes his characters so loveable.
Music: Very catchy and fitting but they played it way too much!
Rewatch: This isnt really on my got to watch again lists just because I didnt connect with Blue Lan's character but I'd maybe watch to see the story again.
Overall Easy Fortune Happy Life is one of the better Tawiwanese dramas out there but with a better lead actor it could have been amazing.
