Watching this TV series for the second time is definitely not as tense as it was in the first time, but there is a question always puzzles us and looks would never be solved. That question is “Does the leading male character ZHONG Yuemin really loves ZHOU Xiaobai?” And, “why the hell he thought he loves Qin Ling the most?”

We used to refuse to accept the fact that ZHONG Yuemin abandoned ZHOU and was crazy about Qin Ling at a time. He even was dying to look for Qin Ling everywhere to meet her. Xiaobai, an innocent girl with deep and absolute once-a-lifetime’s passion for ZHONG, gets nothing from this guy (who is considered as a person “always on the road” ) for what she gave to this him. And after so many years’ struggling on her fruitless love and relationship, she finally compromised to marry ZHANG, one of ZHONG’s best mates.

My husband couldn’t put up with the scenes whichever was involved Qin Ling’s presence. Actually I also reckon those scenes are awfully made. Except being a singer, the only thing Qin can do is to throw out her rational words and thoughts at her male admirers. She finally gets nowhere, living in a unhappy net she waved for herself. What she said might be correct, but knowing the truth of the life can not guarantee people a happy life. She is a girl who knows everything but owns nothing. I would prefer a smart girl plays silly, not a silly girl plays smart.

My husband and I all agreed that the ZHONG’s character is very profound and has multiple sides. Everybody says he is a person who can do great things one day as he can put up the hardness easily and put down the goodness easily. He didn’t do any great thing, in my opinion; neither is he a great man. He actually ended up being nobody and homeless. People says he hasn’t got a conception about being homeless and nobody, and he is unique and tastes the best part of our lives. I don’t think so. I think he is a lonely player, lacking of deep passion for everything and the worst, his big ego actually stopping him understanding the meaning of love and being loved. How could people love one thing and live for one thing forever if he is a person always travelling “on the road” and likes to see different views of the road? Forget about it.

I did find that very few of the character in the story are what I actually like, but it’s one of the best Chinese TV series I have ever seen and really worth watching. I still remember the first time that we spent two overnights staying up watching them and I had tears for it. Trust me, it’s a story that you just can not switch off very easily.
