Our Body doesn't Lie, but our Love and Desire for Each Other will Always be more Honest than Anything Else...
mubashiraliunar13 February 2024
This is a show that one must watch till the end, because it's the end that gives the beginning all of its meaning. Yes, it's sexual, crazy and borderline outlandish, but what got me was how it delivered all of this with real, raw and relatable human emotions backing it.

I love how it never let me cry because I was mostly too busy laughing even during the most serious of scenes, it reminded how life is just a test on how much fun you can have during the hard times.

This was about love, the importance of affection, intimacy and communication. Give it a watch if that sounds like your cup of tea.

almost perfect.

Was Taiwanese cinema always this beautiful, or is this series something special? Even the acting of the young market worker, with just two sentences, didn't seem forced. All the actors are so successful in conveying every emotion and meaning to the audience. I congratulate the lead roles, superb. I also have extra respect for the director; they conveyed it to us in such a fantastic, fluent, and varied way, without ever boring us. I never expected a series to be this free and open. Once you get used to the characters, you'll feel immersed in the series. In terms of the plot, it actually showed many things that most of us experience, almost in full clarity. I salute everyone involved in the making.

Very good, heartwarming drama!

I didn't know what to expect since I had never watched a Taiwanese drama but I felt every story in the series. Good character developing and great acting! It was also very entertaining, it didn't lose its pace until the end. Not necessarily original, there are some common asian drama themes, but really well written.

The soundtrack is also very good. I liked most of the tracks.

I just loved Yo Sen's character, its deepenes and evolution.

At the same time, the series managed to portray different stages in a relationship and how love is very important but, often, not enough. Especially with Wei and Lin Shi. It did a lot with only 8 episodes.

First Taiwanese Drama. It's really good!

Warning: Spoilers
Actors are hot, actresses are hot. Lead actress reminds me of Shu Qi with a dumb happy smile since she has a buck tooth. All the actors are very talented. They're far better than Marvel actors.

Writing was excellent. I think the scenarios were believable. No sudden getting in to a car accident as soon as a character needs to be redeemed. Well written characters and a mom who seemed just overbearing enough to be believable and honestly horrible. Dad seems to not want to bother the family and provide to a fault. Male lead has a huge coming of age that's only really achievable with the female lead out of his life as she's doting on a hapa guy from her past (even that's believable! Best of both worlds, since he has physical features of a white guy but speaks fluent Taiwanese so he's "perfect" in the eyes of white worshipping Taiwanese girls. Usually white guys are just there because it's easy to find girls to sleep with but TV won't show that since it'll lead to criticism).

I loved the various stories showing that everyone struggles with their own issues. It doesn't really go far enough, I think it could've tackled cheating better as well as crime but Asian media doesn't allow criminals to get away as that sends a bad message. And cheating is likely seen as irredeemable.

Another Netflix Craptacular.
kmhlbeavis18 February 2024
If you don't have the money to hire good actresses please don't feed us this garbage Netflix, we don't want to watch it. Netflix should have never given the fake ass WWE half a billion dollars for their fake show as this is what we are left with. Chu Ai who is the lead actress of this should not have had the title role. The role should have went to the actress who played Chu Wei as she is much more sexier and would have been believable as a sex talk host. Then the supposed sexual content was 90 percent gay and a small percent straight. They should have just changed the title to what they really wanted the message to convey. The only funny and entertaining thing about this is the way they say mother f in their language and the motorcycle shop owner who also says the mf word and the way he talks. The mother is the only other person that is attractive in this. I would only recommend viewing this if there is nothing to do and you are bored to death.
