Writes a check it doesn't cash
This drama is overall enjoyable but there is a large amount of dissonance between the first and second halves.
The first half is basically a transmigration business comedy, where the main character helps his wife succeed in business and family politics. There are a lot of fun shenanigans and interesting moments despite the small scale of the story. However, the first half sets up viewer expectations for how the second half of the drama will progress and these expectations are not met.
The second half is more of a political story and despite the higher in-world stakes, the writing and plotting is much less clever. The story is also much less funny. The second half isn't necessarily bad and it could have been a good drama by itself but the amount of dissonance transitioning from the first to the second halves really hampered my enjoyment of the story.
Overall, the acting is good. The production is clearly fairly low budget but everything looks decent. The plotting is very contrived but the characters are charming and dialogue is well-written.
