Why did Li Xiang and his mother support Xiao Ai so forcefully to learn ballet? What happened between Benson and Emma in the past? Could Li Xiang have something more than brotherly feelings for his younger sister? Will Xiao Ai ever dance on stage with Emma?

Review:
I only decided to watch this series because of the actress who played Xiao Ai. Although I have not seen her in any other dramas, I’m a real sucker for characters like her. Her innocence and innate talent for dancing are both very attractive.

The acting done by the male cast was utterly disappointing, well, let’s not say disappointing. I thought it was horrible. It’s a Chinese drama so they should actually try to get actors who can speak Chinese fluently. I felt that the character of Benson was extremely mis casted. I guess in Mainland dramas it is not uncommon for the male leads to be a bit weird, but I thought this was really weird. He didn’t suit the role at all. I felt that he wasn’t suitable as an actor as well. It was really awkward how the drama tried to use so much English. As for the actor who played Li Xiang, I won’t really comment too much in detail. He was in many Taiwanese dramas such as Green Forest and Only You, I felt that he was much better in this drama than his other works, but then again, I usually see him as a side character.

I really loved the theme song and ending song of this drama that I went out of my way to look for them.
