Synopsis (Provided by Wikipedia):
Taiwanese actor Vic Zhou plays two characters in the series: twin brothers with intense, but opposing, personalities. Ling is a reckless and brutal high-schooler who enjoys racing motorcycles. His brother Sheng is quiet and reserved and hides his emotions in his drawings. The brothers have an inter-dependent relationship since the death of their mother. Their relationship was tested at the arrival of ShaZhi, for whom both brothers have feelings for. It was believed that Sheng cannot accept the fact that ShaZhi loves Ling and commits suicide. Ling is destroyed by the guilt of Sheng's death and undergoes therapy at a mental institution for two years. He then meets QiLuo (played by Barbie Hsu), who suffers from social phobia after a traumatic event from her teens. As Ling and QiLuo become more romantically attached to each other, they believe that they can help each other walk out of the dark tragedies in their past and rebuild their lives together.

Personal Rating: (5 out of 5)
= Totally worth watching!

Personal Commentary:
This is my second completed TWdrama that I've watched from beginning to end. Not only was I already a fan of Barbie Hsu; after watching this-I soon became a big fan of Vic Zhou's. Their performance as a team blew me away. From the really tense scenes on their past; to the romantic sayings between them. The story line will also get you hooked; I've never saw this kind of plot ever so I was automatically interested. Even if you're not a fan of Barbie or Vic's; you'll like this series. I spent countless nights up watching this series and I hope you will too!
