Review: -
Title: I'm not sure it's proper English but I like it. The premise is that Girl and Boy end up marrying each other despite being strangers, while drunk.
Girl: Rainie Yang chooses great roles. Girl is really great. She's selfless but still fun and strong-willed.
Girl: Rainie Yang chooses great roles. Girl is really great. She's selfless but still fun and strong-willed.
Boy: He's an interior designer with control-freak tendencies... at first. Like in Down with love, these just disappear. He's a very good boyfriend but I didn't really connect with him. He was a bit bland.
Other girl: The selfish actress, you know, like in Down with love (again) and other dramas, I'm sure. I didn't care for her at all. I really like the Other girl that Tiffany Hsu played in Autumn concerto but this character, nope. And the traumas that are thrown at her to make me care just worsen my dislike.
Other boy: He's a pilot and we don't see much of him. I guess I should see him as a good guy that made a mistake. But his motivations aren't so clear and he doesn't act consistently.
Other other boy: His backstory is interesting but again, don't care about him.
Other boy for Other Girl: He's too good for her. And he insta-loves her for the second laziest reason (the first one being no reason, and the third one, saving one's life) that is... she's the doppelganger of his previous great love. It's creepy and unhealthy. He doesn't love her for her but because she looks like someone else.
Plot/relationships: I talked about the secondary couple, let's talk about the main one. I liked how their relationship developped and the rapport between them. I believed they were suited to each other and that they were what they were looking for: a family. But I was less convinced by the obstacles between them and the very last act that depended on a series of big coincidences whereas it could have happened in a more logical way.
Other people: I liked Girl's loyal and funny best friend as well as Boy's coworkers.
Funny factor? Let's say yes.
Music: YES. Opening song and insert songs.
What the... ? I just remembered that the fat jokes at the expense of Girl's best friend are a bit too much.
Bottom line: I wasn't sure why I felt like it was a minus. Actually, for most of the drama, I couldn't decide between a + et a -/+. But then, I stopped watching before resuming for the last two which means it didn't hold my interest enough. Moreover, writing this review, I realised there were a lot of characters I didn't care for. And the last episodes sealed it: -
