For Zhou Ye and Lin Yi Fans

I really enjoyed this drama, but that’s probably because I wasn’t drawn into it by the hype and pre-released trailers, which I think over-inflated viewers expectations.

If you like Zhou Ye and Lin Yi, I’d recommend it. Don’t watch it if you want to see a lot of kissing and expect the couple to start a serious relationship from the get-go.

Here are the reasons why I liked it:
- Zhou Ye + Lin Yi (good chemistry in their “love/hate” moments, good acting in general)
- Xiao Ma Hua and Xiao Cao online relationship (+ online buddies)
- Qian Ling is strong, independent female lead who makes decisions for herself
- Gu Xun can appreciate and treat Qian Ling as a qualified, competent colleague
- The hugs Qian Ling gave Gu Xun felt more meaningful and heartfelt than kisses I’ve seen in other romantic dramas

Some weak points:
- story was a little too simple, but the novel they had to work with wasn’t that “meaty” to begin with
- it seemed out of character for Qian Ling to pretend to be overly delicate and helpless (it would be more believable if she was awkward in general because being around Gu Xun made her too nervous to be herself; that said, I personally found those scenes hilarious)
- the ending could have been better (everyone coming together to save the company was a little cheesy and they could have spent a bit more time with just Qian Ling and Gu Xun alone together)
