Indeed, it’s very sad to see TVB just fall from it’s glory days. I had fond memory growing up watching their drama. I think I read it from an article from Variety in June that TVB had started to lay off dozens […]

Even on the 10th anniversary, the drama is still very popular. On Dramafever, despite the show being old a lot of fans of K-dramas and veteran fans of Taiwanese dramas really love this show on Dramafever.
