Interesting Business, Character Development, and a Mature, Slow-burn Romance: Give it a Try :)

I absolutely loved this drama! I loved the business, it was mostly understandable for someone who doesn't have a lot of knowledge in this area. So many things I loved about it.. I don't know how to write reviews but I am jotting down my favorite things about the show. If you appreciate any of these things, give it a try:

*ACTING: The actors did a great job portraying the many emotions, especially Tan Song Yun! I also appreciate a show where the men are vulnerable and have crying scenes. All the crying scenes were great, not cringe at all, it felt so real I wanted to cry too lol! Also love the no dub, I HATE DUB!
* CHARACTERS: The women in this show are all so powerful and diverse in their abilities and positions in life (stay-at-home girlfriend or CEO)
* The mature characters, not 22 year olds as CEOS but people in their 30s-60s! Casting was amazing :)
* PRODUCTION: Some nice camera-work moments that I don't usually see when I watch c-dramas.
*The music is nice, but I didn't really pay attention to OST at all. I liked the music they played during heavy moments though.
* THERE IS ROMANCE, but the main focus isn't love but the relationship between the main characters. I loved their dynamic, they were very interesting to watch and I didn't need any fluff for them as they are mature adults. If you do care about romance, just pay attention! Anyone who likes fast, fluffy romance, this is the opposite, slow and mature!!
*CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!! Usually in dramas we have characters that attack the main-leads for no reason and are just the hated relentlessly by fans but I didn't hate any character (maybe the villains but you'll soon learn who the bad guys are and who the regular humans with emotions are)..
* REALISM: We don't see mary sue characters who never fail, but we don't see any quitters! They are always fighting and it is very inspiring. They have ups and downs like normal people.
*THE SLIGHT FORESHADOWS: Many shows show a picture of something or make a character do something weird and leave it unexplained, but in this show, each moment has a purpose. I feel fulfilled after watching. I was worried near the end they wouldn't explain this character or something, but they cover most of it.

I really enjoyed this show and wish I can find more Chinese shows with strong, realistic, mature characters, an interesting plot, and of course a lovely romance! I don't usually re-watch slow-burn romance shows, but I would re-watch scenes of the leads together or certain moments when I need some inspiration.

*The plot is not the same at all but I loved reset, it came out a few months ago and it is also one of my favorite c-drama with a well thought out plot with amazing characters of all ages. I hope people enjoy this show!
