The drama consists of 12 different stories, being fictionalised accounts of teenagers, taken from real life social cases. The main character, is Du the Death Girl, and she is the guardian of the bridge called the "Nai He Qiao", she is the Chinese equivalent of Charon and the river, over which her bridge spans, the Chinese equivalent of the Styx.
The bridge is crumbling and its masonry is falling away, so Du sets off to look for people who are willing to be turned into a rock, with which to repair the bridge, in exchange for a wish. Du can only be summoned when a particular person has a rock from the bridge and wants to die because he or she can not continue through a difficult time. However Shen Qi, who has a brain tumor, can see Du even without desiring death nor possessing a rock. After he learns that Du took Huang He away, Shen Qi tries to save people from Du and prevent her from taking their lives away.
Shen Qi slowly becomes curious about Du and tries to find out who she was in her previous life. He discovers that in Du's previous life she was a girl named Du He, whose Death Girl comic won first place in a competition. He also learns that in her previous life, Gao Chao who was also chosen to take part in the competition, substituted the better of his work for an inferior one, in order for Du He to have a better chance at winning the prize money because she needed it more.
Not long after, Gao Chao asks Du He to marry him and she does. However, one night, Du He's brother, Du Ji becomes drunk. He has fallen in love with his own sister and is upset at her marriage. Enraged, Du Ji uses a wooden plank to hit Gao Chao, causing him to fall into a pool. Du He, shocked, comes out screaming for Gao Chao. Du Ji tries to calm her down and tells her the reasons for his actions. Du He reveals that she feels the same way as Du Ji does; however she does not wish to wrong Gao Chao and jumps into the pool. With the thought that her existence only brings tragedy to the world, she becomes brain dead and falls into deep coma. Gao Chao recovers but Du He does not. He flies to Japan by himself and becomes engaged to another woman.
Shen Qi, who started out pitying Du, begins to love her and Du comes to love him too. When Shen Qi's father learns that Shen Qi has a brain tumor, he immediately plans for it to be operated upon. However Shen Qi does not wish to have the tumor removed, as he knows that once removed he will never be able to see Du in this life again. Can the lovers be together though they are from two different worlds, or will they be forever separated?(Wiki)
My Review:
Well as the synopsis mentions this is a Drama with 12 different stories...In which ep 13-14 has a gay story line...You can watch the full drama if you want to understand the characters related to this storyline or just those 2 episodes(like me)...
Now coming to the story...This is about Xio Lun,who has a girly personality and Da Dong who continuously bullies Lun but finally falls in love with him...Well if you ask me i did not even find this worth watching....I just felt this to be so jumbled and lot of things left unexplained...The love and emotions could have been portrayed much better...I felt it really boring...And much more boring to write a review for this *YAWNingggg*
