Yang Yang and Dilraba Dilmurat make an attractive pairing in this Notting Hill style storyline playing an aerospace engineer, Yu Tu and a popular screen celebrity, Qiao Jinging respectively.
I barely made it through 8 episodes so far... because it seemed like a huge GAME AD, lol. But maybe there's more to it. A mid-life crisis is certainly a topic I am interested in, and Dilireba is exactly my kind of beautiful.
And oh, I'm so glad my email client stopped sending your update notifications to spam! I've been deprived of your elegant writing for more than a week because of this, and that wasn't nice, email, not nice at all!
Have a nice day! Looking forward to more articles, reviews, and musings!
It felt like that to me too initially (the first 4 episodes especially) but for some odd reason I really enjoyed the big competition after their spat. I also really enjoy how he talks to her about game strategy and how she takes it all in her stride. Which impresses him.
My notifications go to something called "Promotions" folder. I get whatever you guys get. as a test email.
I'm thankful that you read everything I write. Most people are only interested in HP.
Well, HP is a big dinosaur to kill, and, to be honest, the only thing I make time for now. I try to savor the experience, and discussing this show (my first ongoing) with fellow commenters on your blog is an important (and very enjoyable) part of this experience.
But my love for good writing is bigger than that :)
I hope I'll be able to watch more shows in the fall (especially C-dramas, because I need to work on my spoken Chinese... instead of watching Korean streams where I understand about six words), and your reviews are immensely helpful in choosing something I might really like. I think our taste is fairly similar - or at least, we enjoy similar things in the dramas, and also get annoyed with similar things (*cough* the second love line in You Are My Hero *cough*... I so loved your article about women who try too hard!).
Soooooo, please write. Please-please write about everything you like. :) The modern world is in dire need of this kind of objective and deep writing!
(Okay, Yang Yang. I'll give you another chance in September. Just make sure to get over your "I have nothing to give her" phase by then...)
I agree with everything you wrote in your review! I didn't expect to like this drama, but I'm love it so much, and I cannot imagine a more fitting pairing. As you said, everything seems to work and they work well together. And I also appreciate how the drama show us the natural progression of the main leads' love story vs forcing it down our throat.
Nice! A fellow fan of the show. I'm only up to Episode 14 now so I'm looking forward to the angsty bits. I always prefer it when the male lead does all the heavy lifting. Haha.
Thanks for the review!

From the previews I've seen, Yu Tu does get over the hump. I can't entirely blame him. It can't be easy being in love with a celebrity.
I too watch C dramas in part so that I don't completely lose touch with Mandarin. I have some opportunities to use it where I am but not a lot.
