    I'm very disappointed

    This teleplay just recopied another teleplay,having little own idea. they even didn't change heroine's name. The whole teleplay waste a lot of time just tell us stereotype love story,with nothing special. And Recently the heroine's many crazy fans give it a high score to change its real score In a world, this TVplay is an utter disaster.

    First time I had second male lead syndrome

    Li Hui Zhen (Dilraba Dilmurat, Qu Zhihan) was pretty, kind and feisty in school, always coming to the rescue of chubby Bai Haoyu (Sheng Yilun, Zhou Baizhen) from bullies. They became close friends but parted ways when Haoyu went to the US with his dad. Twelve years later, Haoyu, who has gotten over his chubbiness and has become handsome and successful in his career, gets in touch with her and asks that they meet. At the appointed meeting place, Haoyu does not recognize Hui Zhen and instead mistakes her pretty best friend Xia Xiao (Li Xirui ) for her. Dismayed at Haoyu's mistake caused by her less than appealing outward appearance, Hui Zhen begs Xiao to pretend to be her. Thus starts a rather uncomfortable (mistaken-identities trope is not a favorite of mine) though intriguing drama. The discomfort level rises when Haoyu turns out to be the new boss in Hui Zhen's new job.

    What kept me engaged was the second male lead Lin Yimu (Zhang Binbin), Hui Zhen's playful though mysterious officemate whose declarations of love Hui Zhen never takes seriously, mistaking them for pranks. I love how he likes her despite her appearance. Their interactions are delightful. I would have preferred them to end up together since Haoyu had Xia Xiao anyway.

    It was pretty decent.

    I watched this before watching She Was Pretty so completely unbiased opinion in that regard. The cast was pretty great with the exception of the male lead. I found his portrayal very bland, stiff, and boring to watch. And I feel like his dull energy made all scenes involving him very flat as a result. Hence the seven stars. Other than him, everything about this series was pretty entertaining.

    The only other issue I have is how Li Hui Zhen was treated by the male lead all throughout the series until he found out who she really was. I feel like him being a jerk should've been telling to his true nature and that should've turned her off from falling for him. Just my opinion!

    Wow, Ok

    So I watched 'She was Pretty', and loved it. When i caught a preview for this remake on facebook, i HAD to check it out. I was not disappointed. Not only is it longer (40 vs 16 episodes), male lead syndrome is again SUPER strong in this one, the story doesn't drag, the cast is good and the characters are engaging. I thought the lead actress did a great job, towards the end I really started to miss her messy curls. I thought Yilun Sheng was a bit too stiff in his role as Bai Haoyu, but still can't complain! I thought the drama overall did not do under for the Korean original.

    Then coming to add it to my watched list, I was honestly shocked to see it only got a 5/10 overall rating. I checked out the reviews and noticed the obvious smear campaign (apparently against Dilraba Dilmurat and prizes the show and actress won?). The politics behind a production or the reputation of an actress are not reasons to downvote a series or movie. This isn't rotten tomatoes and we're not toddlers.

    Now this was my first Chinese drama. I came to it via it's Korean drama parent, I never had any intention to veer into Chinese productions before. So what you might accomplish here with this smear campaign is dissuading potentially new international watchers to start. I don't think that's something anyone should be proud of, I would think that's a terrible waste and mistake. It introduced me to the chinese language and some excellent acting and it has literally opened the doors to Chinese productions for me. That's extremely valuable. I am disappointed that 's check on the quality and validity of reviews isn't more rigorous against this sort of thing happening.

    I have responded by reporting all obvious troll reviews and would suggest everyone reading this review does the same.
