I started watching this...and I like that for this drama there is no dubbing of Hawick's voice.  His own original voice has also a way of expressing the attitude he wants to show which sometimes is lost in dubbing.  His Chinese is not perfect but I am ok with it since this is a modern drama.  I am glad they did not dub it.

I find Xiao Meng quite annoying with so many secrets.  Without knowing if Miao Miao is her own child, it is annoying to me that she can have a child with another man when 2 other hunky looking men both were hot at her heels in the uni....so as of now I dislike her.   But I am sure slowly it would be revealed Miao Miao is most likely not her kid....which would make it more palatable to me if the 2 guys continue to court her....  Just my 2 cents..
