I'll start with the music. The theme is so calming. It makes you want to stop and listen. As I said earlier, it is soulful!

This is the first time I watching something with Zhang Hans but I'm a fan now. His subtle nuances make you smile and his spontaneous boyfriend behavior simply makes you fall in love. His portrayal of Tang Mingxuan is, to put it simply, awe inspiring.

This is the second time I watched Xu Lu. Love Scenery was a show that introduced me not only to her but also chinese drama in general. Fell in love with her then and still am. . . Even more so!

Moving on to the plot. . . Despite being slow paced, it holds a lot of meaning. Even if some might consider it a drag at certain instances, one would not be obliged to drop the show. This is not only a very heartwarming love story about a mature couple but it also introduces you to the multiple facets of chinese fashion. I'm a fan!!! I learned a lot. THE VISUALS!!!

And one thing I love about this show is that despite there being several cliches that are characteristic of the romance genre, it doesn't feel fictional at any point of time. It's very real. There is an innate sense of understanding there. There are times when the facial expressions say it all. There are several endearing side characters too!

And, the best part is that there are no loose ends. Everything seems to come together for everyone in a way. Highly recommend it! I can't believe that I had this waiting on my 'to-watch' list for months.

Having watched and enjoyed Boss and Me I looked for other series with Zhang Hans in and came across this on Viki.

At the start Tang Mingxuan is portrayed as a rather lonely character immersed in his work but not very happy. His early scenes when Mo Fe ( Xu Lu) burst into his life were very well done and set up the future romance beautifully.

I thought Xu Lu was terrific and she and Zhang Hans made a convincing couple as well as both being really attractive.

The supporting cast also did a good job - I particularly liked Ruizi Wang. Some of her scenes with Xu Lu, when they got in real slanging matches, were great to watch!

Yao Hong as Fang Xiaoyu did a good portrayal of someone in torment whilst acting as a bit of a playboy.

Li Xin Zhe is also to be commended for his role as Mingxuan's long suffering PA!

Unlike in Boss and Me the boss here did have parents- one of whom was a really bossy and interfering mother.

All in all a throughly enjoyable series.

Worth binge watching! Beautiful couple!

This drama has a beautiful gradual romantic development between 2 people- the leading casts Mo Fei & Ming Yuan. Both are good looking especially the leading actress, she is not only pretty, sweet smile & portrays her role very well!

Her attire& style is really good. Simple, pretty & elegant!

Overall she is the most beautiful actress in so many Chinese drama I've seen!

The Chinese clothing especially the choinerie are so beautiful! The sceneries are breathtaking! Just by watching the designs, feel like ordering those Mo Fei wears!

Like other Asian drama, there's always 1 or cunning, sly foxes!

It's so cliche that I fast-forward those scenes as one would know what will happen - the lies, deceit & backstabbing. Nothing good will comes of it so its a waste of time watching those scenes.

Another unrequited love that will not lead anywhere as love can't be forced. Such capable woman has so low-esteem. If he wants & love, he will be with you.

There's Xue Ling with frown face throughout the show, it gives depression just by watching her role. Just by look & character, anybody would choose Mo Fei over her.

Another Xioman, her role is just makes you want to crawl out of your skin alive! Exaggerated! Thinking that you are beautiful only gets you to some extend which is no where.

Thankfully Mo Fei has some people that loves her & care for her, Ming Yuan little cousin, the bestfriend Duo duo, room mate Mai Jing, the design director Fang, the younger brother, Duo Duo boyfriend, Mo Fei mom who is understanding. Even Ming Yuan dad doesn't pressure the son!

Another is Jia Xi, she is a backstabber! Envy is a sin! She can't succeed so she is jealous of Mo Fei of her own inability.

Lastly, Ming Xuan mom she is despicable! Thinking that she is above others! Selling her own kid!

Overall love the clothing, the history of Chinese designs which are fascinating, the love between Mo Fei & Ming Yuan, they have beautiful chemistry together, some scenes are so endearing, sweet even & the kissing is so swoonworthy but basically the rest I started to fast forward after 20th episodes as it's too draggy. Especially when cones to Xue Ling & Xio Man scenes too boring!

All in all highly recommended!
