Cuo/Xi Dian Yuan Yang (2012)

Cuo/Xi Dian Yuan Yang

Su Huan Er got a bad feeling when Shi Wu Ji agreed to marry to her. He, his two brothers and his sister hated her father with a passion. But if they thought they can torture her to settle bad blood, they got another think coming. Shi Wu Hen was only a stand-in groom at the wedding, yet he was charmed by the new bride's cheery disposition and unbeatable optimism. This created a problem because she was his brother's wife, not his. So when his brother's long lost betrothed fiancée, Liang Yu Shi, showed up at their door, he stepped in to honor the families' agreement. What he thought was a marriage of obligation turned into a heartbreaking love affair in which he was willing to risk his family's lives to save hers. Shi Wu Jie was the youngest and the most passionate of the three brothers. When he met Qin Qiu Yu, it was love at first sight. His family, however, strongly opposed to their relationship because she was a courtesan unworthy of his station. He, in turn, decided to follow her to end of earth than to leave her. Shi Wu Xia only had eyes for Leng Gang. She didn't care that he was a servant's son. Yet, the difference in their social status was a gulf he was unwilling and unable to cross.

She recruited the unconventional Su Huan Er to help change Leng Gang's thinking.

This drama focuses on the romances of the four Shi siblings of Ao Long Bao as they try to avenge the death of their parents twenties before.  The first part of the drama focus on the relationships of two of the siblings. Shi Wu Ji, the eldest sibling and Su Huan Er and Shi Wu Xia, the only girl of the siblings  and Leng Gang. As well of the relationship, the show also focuses on investigating who they believe to be responsible for the death of their parents and how they plan to get revenge.

The second part of the show focus more on the relationships of the two other brothers. Shi Wu Hen, the second brother and Liang Yu Shi, a girl who has been living as a boy and is a constable. The other couple is the third brother, Shi Wu Jie and a courtesan Qin Qiu Yu. This part of the show also focuses on who the true mastermind behind their parents death was and the business rivalries they have with another business man named Mu Rong.

Han Dong as Shi Wu Hen

I think my favorite relationships to watch were that of Shi Wu Ji/Su Huan Er and Shi Wu Hen/ Liang Yu Shi.  Both their relationship had romance but also difficulties that they had to go through and grow as people and a couple. 

Zhou Fang as Liang Yu shi

I liked this show. It had comedy, drama, some mystery and romances that were not overly cheesy or too dramatic for the kind of story it was.  The story was good and make want to keep watching it.
