My Review:

This is another rom-com with fantasy genre because angels, cupid are existed in this drama. Also this drama is the first drama that directed by Ivy Chen which actually not bad for beginner Director. As for the cast, personally I think all of them were doing fine, especially Ivy Chen who acting doesn’t need to be questioned anymore.

As for Wang Zi Qi, his acting isn’t bad, still watchable and I think he still has room to improve his acting.

To sum up, this drama still watchable although the story plot isn’t something superb but because of Ivy Chen and other supporters cast such as Xia Ruo Yan who played as second female and also few famous actors and actresses who made special appearance such as Chen Bo Lin, Janice Zhang, Ren Yan Kai, etc.

The plot itself is something sweet but also melancholy, especially Ivy Chen crying acting. She acted so real moreover at the scene when Jiang Yi Yi cried under the heavy rain and then Fang Mu Ye came with umbrella but refused by Jiang Yi Yi. Also one of sweet moment was when Fang Mu Ye hairdrier Jiang Yi Yi’s hair.
