So realistic I cried ?
As you might have seen in so many reviews, it’s realistic. At one point, I basically cried my eyes out. Many of these things really happen, including being laid off, competition, the love life it contains, etc, etc. One thing you REALLY need to know though, is that many things are based off real thoughts, feelings, etc, like biases towards males versus females and the idea that men are more capable than women.Even though we’re in the 21st century, these thoughts still exist and survive.
After a few episodes, you’ll notice that there’s, spoilers, a third wheel. As Liu Yang is more “immersed in love” (as he thought), he became a bit abusive.
Those actions and words he had said and done reflect to things that CAN happen.
I’m not saying that all men are cheaters.
I’m not saying all women are gold diggers.
I’m not saying that ALL men are strong or more capable than women.
Im not saying ALL men are abusive.
No.
What I’m saying is that these things are true. As I watched Liu Yang slap Zhang Zhi Zhi across the face, I flinched. That slap basically slapped me too, with reality and how this drama is realistic.
MAJOR SPOILER FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVEN’T FINISHED THE DRAMA YET.
When Lei Hao Wen proposed to Gu Xiao Ling at the end, he was shocked. He said, “Now I’m the one whom you’d marry.” That’s interesting. He tricked someone so CLOSE to her, her stepsister, whom Xiao Ling loved so much, into losing all of that. Yet he still had the balls to continue to propose. That’s so interesting. After being rejected, reality slapped him. He was blinded by trying to get Xiao Ling to marry him that he barely even thought of anyone else.

Just finished watch this drama, and I just feel this drama was pretty similar with Nothing But Thirty. A story about the work and love life between three female friends and three male friends. I guess this kind of 'female centered plot' drama in China is pretty popular nowadays because I have watched another two similar drama like this before such as Twenty Your Life On and Nothing But Thirty. This drama follows the story about 3 female friends which are Li Shi Yu (who is sales rep and a workaholic, braved woman), Gu Xiao Ling (pretty and attractive FL), and Zhang Zhi Zhi (a housewife and mother). It also tells the story for 3 male friends who should be the couples of the FL, their work life, struggles, difficulties, being betrayed, failure, and how they survived, never give up, reach and getting what they dream.
Personally, I kinda like this kind of drama because it is so realistic and relatable to our daily life.
And if I can compared this drama with nothing but thirty is mostly because of the ending. For the first until 38 episode I still prefer this drama rather than NTB because of the cast and story. Even though, the main character and some parts is pretty similar for me such as work as Sales Rep, Housewife being cheated, and the same ML going to jail, and many more. But until the last episode, all I want to say that the ending is very very terrible. After so many drama, frustrated, failure, I just wish that the ending is worth it but it is totally not. I know that this is a realistic story but I really prefer that LSY ends up with CYM because they really fit and love each other. On the other hand, even NTB they didn't get a happy ending but I still not complained because all FL already making a better version of theirselves and maybe it is the best ending for them.
