Quick Synopsis:
Wu Di means 'invincible' and that is exactly how Wu Di sees himself. At a young age, he learned that he should not trust people easily. Being the heir to his father's cooking company, he grew up believing that he is inferior to everyone around him. He is also not very understanding of others feeling, especially those of his girlfriend, Zu An. His life soon changes after having a run in with a girl named Shan Bao. Shan Bao is a young girl dreaming of living happily ever after with the love of her life. Her only flaws are that she is known to be flat chested and super strong. She does have a boyfriend named Wei Qing, who is a chef. Wei Qing does not acknowledge having any relationship with Shan Bao. He does everything he possibly can to avoid her. How will these four people end up?
My Thoughts:
Story Line:
The reason I watched this drama was because it had a cameo appearance by the main cast of Fated to Love You. This was to introduce another story of fated love. This couple set forth by destiny is now Hu Shan Bao and Sun Wu Di. They had a chance encounter as children when Hu Shan Bao saved Sun Wu Di's life. Many years later, their paths crossed again. Their story line was not as interesting as Fated to Love You. I actually got bored a few episodes in and forgot all about it. I watched it again when I discovered it on DramaFever. Figured I might as well stick it out til the end. I did like that they made Hu Shan Bao a female that has strong male capabilities. However, she is still a girl who is seeking love and affection. Sun Wu Di is a celebrity who is in charge of a cooking show. Due to his uncle wanting to take over his company, Sun Wu Di ends up getting the help of Hu Shan Bao in order to get it back. In the midst of their relationship also stands Zhao Wei Qing. He is seeking revenge on Sun Wu Di because he believed he caused the death of his wife.
Cast:
I was not really taken with the cast. It may be because I was not into the story that much. However, I always like Zhong Xin Ling. She is great with taking comedic roles. Also I was impressed by Roy Chiu. I liked him being the nice guy but here he took the role of the villain and part of the love triangle.
Music:
Not my favorite type of music. It was too playful and seemed like it could be considered teen pop. I don't know how to describe it but the fact of the matter is that I was not into it.
Overall I would rate this drama with a 2/5.
