Our feelings varies as to what we want to see in a drama. I’m going on a limb though to say we can all agree that we want strong leads that act the part to a well written story. I believe you will find it here.

Tan Yun, plays NingMeng, who was a secretary to the Director of an Investment Firm (played by LinXen). Her educational background and dreams is to be an Investor. She had to quit her job to make that happen. Tan plays the role perfectly. She acts upon her hunches, not easily discouraged, is kind, takes challenges based on her instincts of good investments, is willing to help the disadvantaged, etc.

LinXen, is Lu Ji Ming, the Director who is cold, as cold as can be. He doesn’t know proprietary. He speaks his mind which can be ruthless to anyones feelings, especially Ning Meng. He puts her down, especially her dreams as an Investor. He treats her as his maid more than secretary as he takes her with him, no matter what hours. He’s so dependent on her, is very comfortable with her efficiency that he fought to keep it this way, discouraging her investment dreams, til she left.

You know the saying, ‘you don’t know a good thing til it’s gone’. After she leaves, this is where the character development starts. Hers, in establishing herself as a confident, articulate, and very perceptive investor. His, in recognizing that! It is also where the heart comes to play. For him, it’s like an awakening. Wait, why did I really want to hang on to her. The dawning will have its effect that digs into the deepest part of his soul, and becomes another big part of this story.

There had been comments that LinXin is terrible at this role. I beg different. He’s perfect! He’s older, a grouch, very particular in his ways, has not had any relationship besides a crush on a childhood older friend, so he’s rugged, rough edged even. His development is the biggest, like a big brown bear turned koala. He becomes soft, admiring, and more for who he lost.

The side characters, from friends, exes adds to the allure of the story. The business part of the story is well researched in its products I feel. Of course there’s the manipulators and schemers in business that adds the twists.

I think you’d like this a lot if what’s described is to your type. It’s still ongoing but whatever the ending, I’ve been satisfied with my investment of time.
