Bad Drama of the Year Award
The drama has two actors of interest, Hu Ge and Chen Long. They dressed well, and looked handsome in their business suits. Chen Long's character, Lin Bai, was my favorite character.This is the story of the survival of the underdog, Qiu Dong; his fall from grace, and his climb out of the hole, with a few female companions along the way, to keep his company. I was intrigued by the trailer, but the intrigue thinned out over the duration of the drama. The actors did a good job, but their characters had no spark, and the plot stretched into oblivion.
The incidental music was pretty but monotonous, and a disruption during the dramatic moments. The last arc about the widow Yan was nonsensical filler. The director should have ended the drama at episode 44, with the lovers' reunion, and time jumped to Qiu Dong's success with his headhunting empire. This drama should have been 24 episodes only. Half of the content was drivel. The budget was wasted on this drama. Hu Ge and Chen Long must have taken the acting assignment as a favor; a bad decision on their part!

Slow burn dramatic "office" romance with lots of headhunting jargon and cases
This was a good drama for me, even though many didn't like it. It took me only a week to complete. The first episodes was mainly a way to introduce the lead, supports and create a dramatic background to the lead, the plot starts being built by the episode 11 or so.Description:
Zheng Qiu Dong and Luo Yi Ren was each others first love, years later they meet again, but Yi Ren is dating, and her boyfriend has bone cancer. Feeling pressed and wanting Yi Ren back Qiu Dong starts making wild choices in his life. Qiu Dong dream is to have his own headhunting firm, one that is known and listed from many. Lin Bai is a friend who will show support to him.
The drama revolves around Qiu Dong ambition, his friends, girlfriend problems and professional relationships. Qiu Dong has his own humble employment agency, Yi Ren is a bookworm and a senior student about to graduate. Lin Bai is a senior headhunter in a famous firm. The book: Norwegian Wood is quoted many times. The ost has some international songs like: Scarborough Fair.
Characters development goes by giant steps in the first 20 episodes. The plot about headhunters starts by the middle of the drama, the cases are very humane, with topics like betrayal and deceives. The first cases are tepid, but by the last episodes we already saw some hot ones. Even though the main plot is business, we see drama and romance all the time. I recommend if you are used to dramas who portraits daily life struggles, including job, friends and enemies.
