No No No NOOOOOO
The plot is interesting- FL travels back in time 10yrs. Her mission is to help ML who is a bummer become the CEO of the company his parents started. She has 3 months to achieve this. Actually sounds very intriguing but unfortunately the drama failed to deliver.Epi1-10 was not too bad, it was introducing the characters to the audience. The build-up romance was also alright. ML was very sweet to FL, at the same time both are childish and bickering with one another. After that it just got boring and going in circles. The business side of the story was also dull, and the half-brother (who is the villain) showed no development of character. The chemistry and romance between leads was not great, kinda mechanical.
I would say skip this. It was disappointing.

Man I had such high hopes but it really didnt do it for me. At one point i almost contemplated dropping the drama. Many loopholes in the story and kinda bland... Story: It is a time travel story of the female lead travel from 2020 back to 2010. First of all the time travel felt really out of place and kinda stretch... like as she was walking into a cafe shop , she gets shocked( or something like that ) lol i forgot already, and she bumps into the male lead. the male lead is around 8-9 years younger and is a CEO . Female lead's mission is to help the male lead become a ceo. I believe he is an ceo of a corporation related to house/hotels/building so he has to compete with others to get the land ? ( lol not quite sure) The storyline was kind of boring ... like them trying to be the winning bid to work with a specfic company. Not to mention how the female lead and her younger version of her meet, but that storyline didnt really go anywhere. I mean the older time traveled female lead did help enough her younger self... The female lead ends up having a weaker body because it was coming close to her having to lead. The end was a good ending but it didnt explain how she came back... Ended really abrupt...
Romance: I didnt really by the romance honestly. To me not enough chemistry in the kisses.. Again the beginning intro gives too much away. Basically shows all the kissing scenes , lol do i even need to watch anymore ? Their romance is cute and started off well and then went kinda dry for the middle part and at the end couple episode had few kissing scenes.
The second male lead is also annoying as heck and an a..hole.
If you have time then you can watch the drama.

Disappointing older woman/younger man romance
Likes: Li Hong Yi's handsome face and sort of carefree acting. Kira Shi's natural acting as the older woman esp when she's annoyed. It's like a real annoyed face and not a forced cutesy annoyed face.Dislikes: I found the second half super boring. Sometimes the FL seemed like a mom compared to the ML. The kisses were too chaste. A lot of the story doesn't add up. Oh and there's Hong Yi's awful hairstyle.
I liked the first half of this as it was light, funny, and centered on the build up of the relationship between the leads. Even though the FL sometimes seemed more like a mom than the love interest, I never felt the age gap on the ML's side. I still felt enough chemistry to ship these two together.
However, the second half dragged and no real satisfying outcome came out of the build up. It was such a let down. I found myself fast forwarding a ton which may explain why I don't really understand why Kira had time traveled back 10 years or why that element was even necessary for the story. I probably skipped that part, but I feel like you could have eliminated the whole time travel aspect and just had flashbacks or something. I dunno...I just wasn't into that part.
Also, the young FL vs the old FL was a bit of a stretch. The FL looks too old to pull off a fresh young 20s and the drastic personality change just seemed so unbelievable, And that whole aspect just lead to more questions that I don't feel the drama really answered (but again, I could have skipped that part).
Anyway, if Hong Yi wasn't in this, I probably would have dropped this.

Nice to pass time
Li Hong Yi played his character well in this drama. He is actually a good actor in my opinion. He isn't over the top when trying to be funny and being cool just seems to come off naturally. Looking forward to more dramas with good story line from him.The drama itself was nice and light the first half. I did skip a lot of scenes even whole episodes from 18 and went straight into the finale. I just did not want to go through all that angst and evil scheming etc... The ending as most comments below mention had a lot of questions of how, when and why? I did want to analyze too much, this isn't sci fi, it's a rom-com in a make believe world of a drama. The ending worked for me :-)

Historia de amor sobre viaje en el tiempo
(Spanish review inc.)El principio no tiene demasiada ciencia: una mujer (Lin Miao) con una vida standar y aburrida vuelve, sin explicación alguna, al año 2010 y se encuentra con el desafío de tener que convertir a Jiao Yang en presidente de Hung Yu (actual Vicepresidente), atravesando diferentes obstáculos que el resto de la junta directiva le impondrá a Jiao puesto que no le tienen confianza debido a su corta edad.
El inicio se ve demasiado tosco, apresurado, aburrido y pesado para soportarlo. Sin embargo, a medida que logres superar la barrera de los 3 capítulos todo se irá volviendo más y más interesante. De las mayores cosas a resaltar, es el increíble desempaño de Li Hongyi al interpretar tan bien al personaje arrogante, inmaduro y terco de Jiao Yang, sin olvidar el impresionante trabajo de Yang Ze con Su Cheng Yun. El resto del elenco tampoco se dejó desear; habían cosas mejorables, pero el resultado sigue siendo fascinante.
La banda sonora podría ser mil veces mejor. ¿En qué aspecto? El posicionamiento de la música: a veces empezaba demasiado tardía, otras veces muy brusco y cortaba de la misma manera, además de contar con una baja cantidad de temas musicales a usar durante el programa para ser de 24 capítulos.
El final fue simplemente lo que esperaba: Lin Miao termina volviendo a su época actual y luego de cierto tiempo vuelve a reencontrarse con Jiao Yang una vez que el proyecto de Casa Infinita triunfó por sobre el proyecto de Su Cheng Yun y Jiao se volviera presidente de Hung Yu.
Bastante bien para pasar el rato.

Commediola innocua
Una commedia isekai ambientata in ufficio, senza particolari guizzi né di fantasia né di qualsiasi altra cosa. Gli attori sono passabili. Il protagonista passa 9/10 del suo tempo ingobbito e con un'aria di distaccato disfattismo. Peccato, perché sarebbe anche carino.Carina e simpatica, ma nulla di più. A patto, comunque, di chiudere un occhio sulle surreali pratiche commerciali e le lotte intestine all'interno del gruppo.
Potabile, da guardare una volta, per passare il tempo, ma nulla di più.
