The story is quite unique - blind girl and a boy who stopped her from operation hence she stayed blind for ten years.
This concept of a special girl i already saw in HK drama called :speech of slilence - girl with a hearing disability....but brave and independent. These stories have quite a few similiar points.
Ruby Lin and Wallace Huo were a sweet couple and they had a slow development and the process of falling in love was quite slow too.
He found out the truth about her blindness he felt so guilty that i wasn't really convinced that it was love, it seemed more like pity and guilt to me...so when her sister tried to separate them then finally he showed his true feelings towards Jing Jing.
Actually Jing Jing was a cute and interesting character, she lived her life as she wanted that included her work and her independent lifestyle. She believed in the goodness of this world, so when the new woman came to the radio and took her spot and bashed her it was ugly...especially when the person can't defend herself...like the saying "the worst enemy to every woman is another woman"....in this case it was true!
And finally the ending.....which was dramatic, tragic, tearful and painful! Why to chose this ending....what's the logic?
The whole story of this kind boy and blind girl is already unique, when they finally find their own place and succeed why to separate them again?
This story is like a closure to this boy and girl....the operation which was canceled due to the boy's reaction.....after ten years they meet again fall in love and the boy feels guilt, then he finds out the truth about himself and decides to give this girl gift for life...special gift that will accompany her all her life and remind her that he's with her forever. What a way from guilt to love and (retribution)..... final gift....
