Review: Okay, so is this show a masterpiece? No, of course not. But was it light and fun? Most definitely! This is the type of show that will simply entertain you. It won't bore you, and it can be highly addictive. I also thought it could be quite humorous. Personally, I really liked the plotline involving the marketing firm and Emily's boss, but I wasn't much of a fan when it came to the whole cheating storyline. The cheating thing really makes it harder to root for the protagonist, which is a shame since she is otherwise very cute and likable. Also, I do have to admit that I feel like the show went a little overboard with the focus put on Emily's utter inability to speak French. It literally seemed like we could skip half of the scenes with the simple consensus of it being along the lines of "je n'ai parle pas Français". Nonetheless, I enjoyed watching this a lot. It wasn't perfect, but I liked it.
Top five characters: 1) Emily Cooper, 2) Sylvie Grateau, 3) Mindy Chen, 4) Camille and 5) Lucien.
