Bagus bangett
Drama modern China yang bagus banget menurut aku. Dari alur cerita, akting para pemain, dan plot nya bagus, rapi. Sampe gak bisa move on dari drama ini. Chemistry antar pemain juga dapet banget. Bikin kita tenggelam di dalam alur cerita. Pertama kali liat aktor Vin Zhang disini dan langsung fallin in love. Janice juga membawakan perannya dengan sangat baik. Jumlah episode yang panjang tidak terasa membosankan karena setiap episodenya menarik dan menyenangkan, Worth it banget buat di rewatch ya menurut aku.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Very catchy, well-paced drama with cool OSTs.
I really liked this series, on the one hand because I'm a fan of the 2 leads, Zhang Vim ❤❤❤ & Janice Wu ❤❤❤, on the other hand, because the story is believable, well told, well written and that the production is almost perfect.Plot: reunion of 2 former high school friends/lovers, ML / FL, who had parted over a misunderstanding, in a high-tech company. The ML is a manager of the Technology department and the FL (heiress sent anonymously by her grandfather, by challenge , to refloat this company in distress) is an employee there.
The 2 leads, both famous actors, have developed an incredible chemistry, with intense OTPs. The other actors are good, performing the secondary roles brilliantly, with a bit of humor and a lot of friendship.
=> An excellent drama to watch and rewatch without any hesitation.

Drama très accrocheur, bien rythmé, avec OST sympas.
J'ai beaucoup aimé cette série, d'une part parce que je suis fan des 2 leads, Zhang Vim ❤❤❤ & Janice Wu ❤❤❤, d'autre part, parce que l'histoire est crédible, bien racontée, bien écrite et que la réalisation est quasi parfaite.
Plot : retrouvailles de 2 anciens camarades de lycée, ML / FL, qui s'étaient quittés sur un malentendu, au sein d'une entreprise de géolocalisation / navigation. Le ML est un manager du département Technologie et la FL (héritière envoyée anonymement par défi par son grand-père, pour remettre à flot l'entreprise en perdition).
Les 2 leads, tous les 2 acteurs renommés, ont su développer une alchimie incroyable, avec des OTP intenses. Les autres acteurs sont bons, assurant les rôles secondaires avec brio, un peu d'humour, beaucoup d'amitié.
=> Un excellent drama à voir et à revoir sans hésitation.

Worth the watch in 2023
This is a very cute series with strong leads. I love the chemistry between the ML and FL as well as the 'banter' that they have between each other that only they understand. There are times where the communication is lacking. Due to the 'history' of the lead characters, the communication to avoid misunderstandings should be better between them. The support cast is very good. There are a few scenes that are unnecessary and could have been dropped so that the last episode wouldn't feel rushed. The last episode was cute, but definitely rushed. The last episode had a lot of spot 'assumptive' scenes that just left the audience saying 'okay'. The series gave you that 'You are My Glory' feel. However, it's not as tightly executed. This could have been a solid 28 to 30 episode series with tighter editing. Both leads are good. I appreciate the dynamic acting from them both. Good OST and Production.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

Writing is a mess but good romantic scenes
Wow! So many resemblances with "You are my glory" and "A Romance of the Little Forest." But the drama had its own story and vibes. I gotta say I was really expecting more from this one, but there were some things that bothered me along the way.- It was little draggy in the beginning. I didn't really understand why the couple took that much time to be together. It's not that they took a long time, but they didn't have any obstacles to their love, so why didn't Xiang Yuan say yes to Xu Yanshi before?
- The writing is not that good. There were some plot points that were poorly explained or could've been better developed. Like Yanshi's family; his father was never present in his life and he holds a grudge bc of that, but they never really talk abt that and Yanshi just gives his little brother away to his father. And no explanation is given as to why he let his brother go that way; Yanshi's mother appearing in the last ep was really weird. His dad raised him all by himself, through many difficulties, Yanshi is always addressed as a poor and alone guy, but then we find out that his mother is alive, well AND rich! And they are in good terms with each other. Then why did he need his professor's help with his brother so he could study?! And the debt with Chen Shan?! Where was his mother during all that?!
- The main couple is good and have chemistry. I really like that they have a lot of skinship and appear natural and intimate together. There are a lot of good kissing scenes and the couple trust each other. But that break up in the 30th ep was unlike them. They should've talked abt their views and opinions on the problem. Both of them had a point but they just didn't talk clearly with each other and just gave up. At least that lasted only one episode.
- Second couple is boring af. They have absolutely no chemistry and doen't even make sense together. Chen Shu is annoying and so it is Gao Leng. I didn't understand why she was so mad at him to the point of breaking up with him, so it was confusing why she came back to him in the end.
- Side characters are a little boring as well. I didn't hate anything or anyone in specific but they were just forgettable. Like I said, the second couple was boring, and the other characters didn't shine or have their story told.
- All the Beidou lecture was too patriotic and just cringey. Maybe for chinese people it made sense but for me, a foreigner, it was just annoying. I also didn't understand most of the talk about navigation systems and all, so I just zoned out on those parts.
That's it. All in all, I enjoyed watching it, first eps are a little draggy but the couple is good. Although the writing is a mess, I think for some people it would be worth for the couple. They really deliver good romance. If I were to rewatch I would skip everything but them. I also think this drama could be 10 eps shorter, it would be faster and it wouldn't waste time with characters and plots we don't really care.

Only You...
Played by Janice Wu & Vin Zhang of course I've to watch this one...The drama told about 1 man, Xu Yan Shi (YS), that like 1 woman, Xiang Yuan (XY), in his life. But life played them good & separated them again & again until life decided enough time to make them together now. Haha...
YS & XY have 4 times encounter: kindergarten, high school, university & workplace. But when in high school & university, YS's dad succeed screw up their chance & finally they have their chance in the workplace.
The story begin in Velin company, the branch of Donghe group that in the verge of collapse, cause bad management, corruption & nepotism deep in the management. XY is happy go lucky girl from rich family that at first don't care about her family business. XY grandpa, chairman of Donghe group, send XY undercover to manage this branch. In there XY finally group up from happy go lucky girl to the girl that finally understand how to manage business & care enough about her family business in the end.
What I like:
+ First of all really happy to finally have another director that using their brain when cast, to separate the cast of adult time & high school time... Sometimes I must sigh when I see actor/ess on end off their 20s or early 30s play as high school student. I know sometimes that relate to the budget etc. & the bonus point, they even cast the actor/ess according to their respective age in the drama...
+ The chemistry between Janice Wu & Vin Zhang is good.... They match each other perfectly. It feel really like old friend that finally get together. Janice & Vin Zhang looked like having fun while filming this drama.
+ The develop of YS & XY relationship is make sense. YS a few times make XY angry & XY not immediately forgive him, all need process....
+ YS is quite jealousy boyfriend, but his jealousy several time quite make sense. But I really like when he never restrict XY's life & really respect her, especially when he said that XY should not change herself just cause him.
+ The story of Gao Leng (GL) & Chen Shu (CS) also make sense. They love each other, but GL indeed need to grow up to match CS. And I kinda like how GL just not give up, but he still care & try to chase CS again.
+ The cute & adorable XY's grandpa. Especially when YS's friend try to messed his mind about his evaluation toward YS. Is just so funny...
+ Janice is quite adorable played XY, but still nothing too new about her acting...
Overall this really one good drama this year...

Instead of an actress and aerospace engineer, we have a corporate girlie, whose grandpa is the CEO of the company, and a GPS engineer who is a prodigy in his field. The ML and FL are technically grade school sweethearts, who keep running into one another at different points in their lives, but seeming to miss one another.
I would sum this up as a sweethearts to strangers to friends to strangers to online lovers to strangers to coworks to lovers, romance. When I say they keep missing one another, I mean it!
I loved Janice Wu in this, a quirky yet mature businesswoman who wants to help her grandpa's sub-company not go bankrupt while correcting all the internal fraud that is being committed by the VP. I loved seeing Vin Zhang finally in a lead role, and not being a side character to a Dilraba drama... which is funny because I just said that this drama reminded me of a Dilraba drama.
In the 30-40 something episode drama, the writer and director took their time letting us get to know all the characters and their roles in the company as well as follow them throughout different projects - I felt like I was a part of the team! And I appreciate a drama that is well written and shot, not feeling like it is dragging... because I know these longer Chinese dramas and feel scary and boring when seeing how many one-hour episodes there are.
The romance was very cute, and honestly a bit sexy ... more than I have seen in a Cdrama before. I fell for both characters and wanted them to find love so badly with one another, and once they were together, it was sweet.
But going along with that point, I had to knock a point off because there were times throughout that I had no idea what was going on, and why the FL was crying or why the ML was comforting her or why the ML thought it was cool to start making out with the FL during an argument. There were also times when either one of them would be in a sales meeting and I had no idea what was going on... especially when the company seemed to be a huge factor or when the meeting ended up being fake? It is hard to explain even now because I feel like I was... on drugs and a part just flew over my head.
Other than that, loved this.

Popcorn escapist power fantasy disguised as office drama
TLDR: If you can make it past the side characters and the second couple then you'll probably like itOverall: The show isn't anything new and follows a lot of the traditional cdrama tropes. But the business power fantasy and comeuppance is what kept me coming back for more and I have no regrets. Watching the leads go through their ups and downs as a couple and in the workspace was a treat to watch even if the rest of the cast was pretty lacking.
Story: The story is a pretty standard office drama with the only real twist that the FL has a powerful background that the audience sees from episode one but other characters find out as the show progresses. The appeal is really that you get to see how everyone reacts and watch her navigate the space while trying to get things done on her own merit. No new ground is tread but that was perfectly fine for this kind of show. If you can make it past the side characters and the second couple then you'll probably like what you see.
Acting: no complaints across the board. I feel like maybe some of the side characters were a little over the top at times but I assume that was the direction they were told to go in so can't really pick on it too much.
Characters: The leads were great. Probably one of my favorite FLs to watch in recent memory. She is strong in every sense of the word but also isn't afraid to ask for help which was refreshing to see. Janice Wu did a great job bringing her to life and it felt like I was right there with her through all the satisfying reveals. ML was ok as well. The character was kind of a doormat with a whole lot of backstory that gets revealed to make you feel sympathetic toward him. I felt that they could've done a better job with this because there never had to be any misunderstandings and it seemed to me like it was mostly just the ML refused to tell the FL important things that were happening. This isn't new to the cdrama space but I could've done without the whole years of angst because he didn't just say he had a family situation.
The second lead couple were the only other side characters that get any kind of background but they were unfortunately not my cup of tea. I felt like their relationship felt off from the beginning so seeing them go through their rocky patches actually felt pretty real and I was happy with that direction. But then the entire show just gaslit the woman into thinking that because the guy likes her a lot she should put up with his BS. I will say that normally breakups in dramas tend to be nonsensical, but this one had a really grounded and relatable reason that felt true to the characters as well. The guy had a character flaw that she didn't want to put up with, he repeatedly demonstrates that he can't fix it. She clearly communicates what the problem is and why she wants to end things. He still doesn't work on changing. The show puts them together anyway. Needless to say one of my least favorite couples out of the dramas I've watched.
The side characters in this show have got to be the worst I've seen in quite some time. No shade on the actors/actresses as I think most of the issues lie in the material that they were given or lack thereof. Starting off I don't think I've seen a group get so much screen time yet we know next to nothing about any of them. I literally could not tell you what any of their hobbies are, any childhood memories, outside friends, partners etc. etc. etc. They pretty much only exist to either start drama or react to drama happening around them which is sad because they could've been so much more. Just as an example, there is a sudden double agent kind of reveal halfway through and it came so far out of the blue that I was just like "Oh, ok." when I'm pretty sure they wanted it to hit a little harder and be some big shock. The only reason I didn't care was because we had no reason to care about the character in the first place (citing aforementioned lack of background) and there was literally no build up to it (even on second watch it felt like a writer rolled the dice and just said yeah, she gonna be evil now lol).
The other big miss for the side characters was their dynamic. I think the writers were going for some kind of super familiar, we've known each other for years vibe so we mess around with each other but it all felt really artificial. Couldn't really put my finger on it but I compared it in my head to the main trio in King the Land and I just felt like that dynamic felt authentic. The characters in this drama also flip between sides so fast which contributed to them feeling less like actual characters and more like set dressing. Tangible example is later on they hear the boss may be closing their company and instead of just asking the person they've grown close to over the course of a year they just instantly choose to believe that was her motivation the entire time because surely putting in so much work just to close the company makes sense. Its not even that it doesn't make sense its that they didn't even hesitate for a single minute to paint her as the new villain which made it harder to like them.
Music: I actually added a few songs to my playlist so that counts as a win in my book.
Rewatch: Despite the many problems the show has, I would rewatch it (and have) for the premise alone. Not even close to the top 20 best dramas I've watched but I've already watched it again all the way through not even a week after finishing it.

Promising, But Boring
We get it, China. People with money= bad, poor people= good. We get it.Two childhood sweethearts divided by class difference. Nothing new here. We know they are going to get together, but there is no actual connecting story here, so the plot is stretched over sexual tension that just doesn't burn bright enough to keep interest.
I have a girl crush on Janice Wu, which is why I gave this a chance in the first place, and she did not disappoint. I love her facial expressions and mannerisms. The ML was ok as well, but he was written without any real depth, and that also has to do with his lack of flaws. A perfect ML is a boring one.

Great chemistry and flirty repartee!
I love the fact that this story doesn’t rely on one of those cold, stiff characters that never smiles. Serious, yes, but not stiff. The flirty banter by Janice Wu’s character is always entertaining. I like the way they have revealed the hidden backstory of the ML slowly. I wait eagerly each day for the new episodes and while I wait I’ve rewatched scenes from earlier episodes that I particularly like. I almost never rewatch anything so this says a lot about just how much I enjoy these characters and their interactions.I understand the review about the FL’s misunderstandings being too easily influenced, but this is so far the only annoying trope we are dealing with in this series, and I feel like the smile I’m wearing on my face for most of each episode is more than worth it.
It’s funny, heartwarming, romantic — what more could you ask for?

Another great drama for me!
I have not give a drama all 10/10 in a while now. This one deserved it! It is about the realities of life, love, and dreams. Reminded me a bit of “You are My Glory.” This one ranked right up there for me. There were 2 scenes they kept showing on Facebook that told me it is a must watch. The first one was when she was in the meeting room and they were trying to frame her and her grandfather came in and set them all straight! It was one of my favorite scenes. The other is when he finally went after her and made it clear he wanted to be with her. I laughed at the guy who was trying to court her! The look on his face was priceless! If you watch it you’ll know what I am talking about.Storyline - was well done all around. The only parts I skipped was some of the memories of what happened. I watched all the ones that pertained to the main leads because I had to see what each one went through and how it all overlapped. It made me laugh, cry, and happy that the FL was strong and not weak. This is one FL I can relate to. Loved this storyline.
Acting/Cast - loved the FL/ML and all the support cast. Their stories were great to watch. They did an amazing job!
Music - was great! Fit the drama perfectly and dang if I cannot find it on Amazon! I would love to have the OST.
Rewatch - YES!! I am adding it to my once a year (probably twice a year) favorites to watch.
