My review:
I started this drama because of eye candy Jasper Liu :).  The first episode is kinda boring, but its getting better and better until ep 13/14. Although i still finished this drama until the end, i just hate the fact that the good people change to be a bad one and then become good again so quickly and sometimes make no sense.
