Murphy's Law means anything that cam go wrong, will go wrong.
Guan Xiao-tong has been cursed with Murphy's Law all her life. Every time her attainable desires are within reach, they somehow escape her grasp at the last moment. After her boyfriend dumps her and breaks her heart, Xiao-tong decides to use her psychiatric expertise to help others with love at an online matchmaking service. Soon a divorce firm opens across the street from her office, threatening the matchmaking service. The divorce firms owner Ji Jai-wei, thinks Xiao-tong's theory and love advice is idiotic, while she thinks he is a cold-hearted person who doesn't believe in love and only started his business so others can be like him. But since Xiao-tong is cursed with Murphy's Law, Jai-wei whom she has no interest in starts falling for her when she unknowingly starts to melt his ice-cold heart.
If I am completely honest about this drama, I needed to take a break from it because I was I was getting bored and felt like I was getting nowhere with the drama. After taking a short break from watching the series, I fell straight back in love with it. I loved the cast, I thought the cast were perfect, they all added something to the series, and I don't think it would have been as good as it is, without any of them. I wasn't 100% in love with the story but because the casting was perfect, what I disliked about the story was made better because of the chemistry with all the cast on screen. Personally for me, it was predictable but that's only because I find romance drama's always seem to take the same route and tend to have the same outcome. If I had to choose who I wanted to work for between the two business', I'd say I'd have to work at the divorce firm, just because I loved the employee's, Shao-qiang, Xi-men and An-ting, definitely added the comedy value to the series. I watched the show on Netflix which they had a different episode layout, each episode lasted about 45 minutes with the series containing 31 episodes, which is why I think I got bored half way through. I would have been happier watching the episodes at 90 minutes each as it wouldn't have then cut off the episode at rather random times in the drama. I'd happily watch it again and recommend it to anyone that loves romantic comedy dramas, you may even be like me and come away being a new fan of Danson Tang and a fan of his music.
