The reason why i watched this drama is the ML, i was waiting for a long time for this modern drama of xu kai, and i kinda liked it.
Some may say the plot wasnt up to the mark, but what i have to share is that:
I really did enjoy watching this drama. As opposite to the trailer, this drama presents a lot of office politics and stuff, (which in my opinion hasnt been clearly portrayed in the trailer).
If you are bingewatching, good for you, coz the way every episode ends on clifhangers,oh man! I had a hardtime waiting.
Definitely toward the end of the show , things could have been better. Not a fan of last minute reconcilations so...truthfully speaking ...it hurts when such lovely couples get separated.
All those lovey-dovey things in the trailer....goes by without much focus in the actual drama , they mostly talk work almost all the time.
But i did have a good share of laugh and giggles , and i would totally agree to that.
The way the office politics is portrayed seems so real and i specially love the dynamic relationship Qin Shi has with her colleague Li Dai, i mean i just find it amazing, how they tease and taunt each other but stand united when need be.
I love the character of Yang Hua, he's awesome. 1000x thumbs up (those who have watched the drama will understand ;)
Some people have raised the issue that ...he should've been more persistent and shouldnt have let go Qin Shi so easily, but i beg to differ.
Like he himself mentioned "he didnt wanted to be an excuse". All he wanted to hear from Qin Shi was her confession. Anyway
Qin Shi is a strong independent woman. We all know ..
What i didnt like was the parallel story of mei mei, i mean , i find the character of mei mei in exact contrast to that of qin shi(both strong independent working women but totally different ideologies in marriage matters). That is to say one is exact opposite to the other, where one is afraid of taking risks, and the other is constantly taking risks (i cant believe how could she put up with qin wen yu for so long . She should have divorced him the 1st time she caught him cheating, why tolerate?)
How qin shi was so apprehensive about her own marriage is totally understandable, she grew up in a family with so many relationship issues, its normal for a person to become the way she was.
However, i didn't like the time frame of the drama .
2 years is too less to become what qin shi has become in cheng and hui
And 7 years relationship with tao junhui is just too much.
In my opinion (which no one care about , so just saying ....) they should've made it more like 4 or 5years relationship with tao junhui & atleast 4 to 5 year history of working at the firm.
And near they end ...there's a time gap of 7 months .... i believe its too much. It should be like 3 months (that should suffice )
Also i feel there was a lack of communication between the leads ... near the end , they should have resolved their misunderstandings in a better way. It was like he just came (surprisee surprise ), she hugged him. Bam!! Everything resolved.it was all too quick. I believe the ending could be improved. But ... this is how it is .
There were sad, happy, exciting , competitive, relaxing , soothing....and many more monents in this drama . I wouldn't say it was the best ive ever watched , coz truthfully speaking, i was expecting better from this drama. It wasn't that
spectacular, i was hoping it'd be. But i relly liked it , wish we had more Qin shi and Yang Hua screen time but...on end note ..i like it..... I'll give it a thumbs up
