Review by Mei
While watching this drama and even after it, the first thing that came to my mind – was this a remake of the Korean Drama "Save the Last Dance for Me"? There are many similarities, including both featured a successful heir, the other guy plotting to kill him, the heir loses the memory, and after some accident he loses the memory of the time he spent away from his family but remembers everything else. Then the main girl character would come and work for the heir. I don't believe these similarities are truly coincidental.
First of all, the acting in this drama were very credible. Ming Dao successful executed his role as a spoiled and ruthless heir while Chen Qiao An can act like a liar and a good girl. Sam Wong expressed his character as the best friend with a secret hatred, and Zhao Hong Qiao was the perfectly groomed girl but can also act psychotic when she needed to.
The music in the drama complements the drama well; the introduction gives the idea of a scheme that someone might be implementing, and the conclusion depicts the merit of true love.
Overall rating: 3.5/5. I believe that my prior knowledge in "Save the Last Dance for Me" interfered with my liking of this drama. It was too predictable, something that I do not like in dramas. I think dramas should show the audience surprises not seen in other dramas, but I can guess exactly what will happen in this drama. Despite the good action, acting, romance, and comedy in this drama, I did not like it as much. If you wish to watch this drama, be sure you haven't watched "Save the Last Dance for Me" or else the plot would be totally ruined. I imagine if you haven't watched "Save the Last Dance for Me" and you watch this drama, you will enjoy seeing the twists and turns.
