I think I would say Under The Canopy is better than TSD. i do like how they filmed in Japan....so pretty. i like the story line in Under The Canopy better though.
After watching the whole series, it leaves you with something to think about....it gives you a life morale quote in the end that sorta makes you think about your life. The last few episodes really touch on the emotion side of things, and the cast really can bring out the emotion with their detailed expressions. With Niki's disease, it brings out the message about quality of living is more important than quantity. The series end with some sadness, but overcome by happiness. added with the overseas scenery, i think it is one of the best series made by TVB. A good series, just like a good movie, not only just finishes when its 'concluded', but moves you, makes a lasting impression and sends out a meaningful message that sticks in ppl's heads. TVB should take this style/trend, and make more quality series, rather than something funny in the short term but ends badly without logic.
I'm up to chapter 7 or something (too lazy to watch series) and i think it's not bad. I'll probably finish the series soon but so far i find it good.
Oh I love this series more than 'Under'. I am quite disappointed how the ratings were so low because it really had a beautiful and unique storyline. Kevin and Niki's chemistry is so 'hot' and 'sweet' that they are really the 'gold boy & jade girl'. This series is so emotional and great performance to all cast. The ending is sad but, it is realistic and satisfactory.
