Nah, this drama ain't new...it's like 2+ years old lol but yeeeeaahh it's not a bad drama actually!! *nods*

But the whole drama pretty much mainly takes place inside a house though...just letting some of ya'll know~

[-AngelzKiss-]

i hafta say i really liked this drama.

the plot seems kinda complex and weird.. but i actually enjoyed it quite a bit lol

[enjsprite]

i watched the first 30 mins? of this drama. sounds depressing to me.
so i paused. but i shall continue when i have time LoL!

[.moony.]

one of my fav dramas based on a manga and it follows the story quite well...and Joe's acting in here is just marvelous he really makes the audience love him, even tho his character is just weird wahahha
def recommended. i enjoyed it more than some famous tdramas out there =)

[xojiang]

i thought this drama was okay.

i liked the manga more. U__U"~~

but it has its cute and funny parts, the actors + actresses were okay.

i thought it stuck to the manga quite well.

[alligatorpie]

comedic moments (esp. between joe's character and ella's character), but the topics/themes are a bit disturbing.

[chromatic]

i only survived up to episode 5. T_T
it thought it was really draggy and boring.

[sylver]

I thought the story was sweet even if the incest thing is a bit disturbing. If I'm not mistaken, this drama lauched Ella's credibility as an actress. She was excellent in this drama. of course not forgetting Jerry Huang and Joe Cheng... Too bad about Jerry though. It seems he's disappeared from the acting world.

[mayva]

I love Joe, he appears a bit girlish in this drama, I haven't seen it but I came across some pictures. Wondering if this is worth a watch. Hm..

I've only watched 16 episodes of this so far....

I thought Jerry was one of the worst actors I've ever seen, hot as he is. But yeah the incest thing was a bit disturbing but refreshing because it made the drama different. It was like comedy, romance, and drama mixed in with darker elements- the incest thing, a mother's abandonment, and the kids' struggle for acceptance. The drama was a bit slow but the pace made the story all the more compelling [with the exception of the scenes between Jerry's character and his old gf].

Ella and Joe were great in this. Ella, though I thought [and still think] her acting is a bit exaggerated at times- she nailed all the important scenes with the right amt of sincerity and emotion. Joe was so awesome-I know that no actor can reproduce or outdo the way he portrayed the complex Kui.

Yeah to be honest, that's (the words in red) what kinda got me to continue watching this drama...along with the addition of great humor on many parts

[angeldreams]

ah i haven't got around to finishing this drama yet, but i really liked what i've seen of it so far.
joe portrayed kui so well, it made me fall in love with him even more.
but yeah, the incest thing is a little disturbing :x

I agree with you wholeheartedly Ella really overdoes it sometimes, and tho I like her in The Rose. I seriously can't stand her in Hana Kimi XDD
But joe was awesome in this yes (i think he did better in here than in ISWAK), Kui in the manga would not have come to life if it wasn't for Joe
I didn't care much about the incest thing...it was more like a joke, and Kui is just confused about his gender so ^^

[meilin]

so many actors/actress in this drama!

[a.e.]

I never get to finish this drama. The incest storyline disturbed me. And the kissing between brothers?!? eekk THe Rose was my first time knowing who Jerry was. Too bad he kinda disappear. He has an unique look to him.

[aquatears]

i remember watching this drama when it came out...like a few episodes in the beginning. i liked joe cheng's character .

[siumeimei1023]

one of my favorite drama... i wouldnt call the incest theme disturbing cuz i really didnt feel that way... i was really rooting for joe and ella even tho i kno they were bro and sis in the drama... but yea..~~ highly recommanded by me..~~

even tho joe looks weird in there i found him VERY VERY cute!

[pinkshoe]

my favorite serial TV ever. i watch it again and again for almost two years. smile, crying, laugh, wander, wonder, afraid, surprised. all mixed up.

one word PERFECT.

I like Joe Zheng and Ella together.
