Since this was the very first Taiwanese dramedy I watched I won't shit all over it. In fact, this show taught me not only how to watch and what to expect from other T-dramedies, but that I shouldn't review them using American standards to avoid being overly critical. I've also found that translation is very important when there's a language barrier. Sometimes the translation can be too literal and the context of a scene has been misinterpreted. However, for TTV shows like these, if you've seen one... They're predictable, cookie-cutter affairs that are ripe with mellow-drama, Disney-style humor, and OTT performances, which is what they're supposed to be. Formulaic. TaiwaneseTV producers know all too well who the hell their target audience is and more importantly that they're willing to spend money on products that are carefully displayed (product placement) throughout the episodes. Anywho, what I find entertaining and interesting about these shows is how Taiwanese culture defines romance and gender roles. Unfortunately for Aaron Yan's character, Yi Qi, I was introduced to the role of the romantic male lead for the first time or who I would come to know as the lead asshole -- an arrogant, condescending prick who gets a free pass for being a dick because he has mommy issues. Of course, he's good looking, earns a lot of money and is well educated so he knows better than everybody else, meaning he has the power. He's in control. In most of the TTV dramedies I've watched, this has been the case. Enter Puff Kuo's character, Liang Liang, who I absolutely adored. Her eyes are amazing. I mean, why else would I give a rat's ass that her goldfish died. Liang Liang is so likable to the point that I felt that no man deserved her attention, much less her affection. I was hoping at some point early on that the writers would have her character exhibit more independence and kickassery. But after watching all 39 episodes of this show I've learned, sadly, that that type of female character is not popular.
