==Review==
As this drama is still airing, this will not be a completely coherent and balanced review - it might get better....or it might get worse. Currently, there's a very strong suggestion of "Full House" about the series, as that drama also featured a idol's arranged marriage and the plucky girl who eventually won his heart. Nicholas Teo even looks a little like Rain. The inclusion of the bitter brother and the fickle ex-girlfriend further round out the tried and true formula of romantic comedies, and the viewer can only expect more love triangle (square?) entanglements as the lead quartet figure out each other's hearts.

I think this series is pretty good because every time I watch it I want to watch more.

⊙强力主打

★首波主打：片头曲王心凌"彩虹的微笑"
甜心教主王心凌再度施展甜蜜攻势！以复古老歌"It's so easy"填词翻唱，王心凌甜美轻快地唱出一种esay处世的生活主张和快乐哲学。复古的曲子让人耳熟能详，边听边忍不住会跟着朗朗上口，心情也随之会愉悦起来喔！

MV拍摄呈现最甜美的心凌，这次还特设计了梦幻的蕾丝啦啦球，为心凌编排了可爱啦啦舞，必定能获得年轻族群的喜爱。

★感动主打：片尾曲张栋梁"北极星的眼泪"
这首歌搭配剧情，在剧中是一首极重要的歌曲。它被设定为张栋梁和弟弟Gino两人少年时的共同创作，后来因为感情的纠葛和对于音乐理念不合而决裂；张栋梁跨入流行乐坛成为知名偶像歌手，弟弟则坚持自己的音乐理想混地下乐团，两人渐行渐远，这首作品也成为被尘封的一首好歌。

张栋梁的歌声，完全表达了这首歌曲的情境，那份无奈的寂寞、遥远的思念，相当具有渲染力。

MV可说是剧情的番外篇，特地情商片中的弟弟Gino和前女友小乔跨刀演出，完全呈现出和剧情相同的情感缩影。
