Drama Digest

This is a modern-age Chinese drama. It focuses on the two main leads, revolving around their lives and how they fall in love by helping each other achieve their respective dreams.

The Feel-Good Part

The beginning of the story is cute and charming. The constant healthy bickering between the leads is humorous to watch. The premise of the story is decent.

The Disappointing Factor

The show is said to be based in America, but it fails to depict the real American scenario or vibe. It has failed to depict realism. Apart from that, the female lead has been made to play many roles like being a community helper. She’s even jailed for different reasons and involved with the law even when she’s just a fashion designer by profession. This makes the story confusing.

In-Depth Analysis

The story is based in New York, America. The male lead, Xu Tian, is a Chinese-American orphan who was raised by his neighbors. This is the reason why he has enormous respect for his neighbors. He’s charming and intelligent, a soft person on the inside but rough and strict-looking on the outside. He aspires to become a lawyer to help all the poor people honestly.

I’m this process, both of them fall in love with each other.

Star Power

The friendship of the male and female leads is a delight to watch before they discover their true feelings for each other. But most of the audience watched the show for Li Yifeng starring as Xu Tian. The entire story revolves around only the main leads, but Li Yifeng is undoubtedly the show’s star.

Overall Opinion

The story had a strong start but the quality diminished badly towards the end. It’s a cute storyline that has tried to incorporate many things but it’s not worth a rewatch.
