Cookie cutter cold male CEO- bubbly assistant romance
Dropping this, the show is pretty boring. I watched until episode 4. The plot seems very redundant with the traumatic past resulting in cold ML, a bubbly FL breaking his mold, a clingy confidant of the ML being jealous all that jazz. Plot movement is slow and the romance hasn't sucked me in. The humour is very mild and didn't make me laugh.The acting is fine, the ML doesn't have to act anyways since is the arrogant cold faced CEO so I guess we could say he does his job well. The FL is doing her part well but The dubbed voice on Liang Jie is not convincing since I'm used to her natural voice. I mainly started watching since I'm her fan but the different voice makes me feel like I'm not even watching her.
Overall watch this if you're looking for more of the same modern Chinese romcoms which feature CEO-assistant pairs. In my opinion, Lucky's First Love is a better option.
7/10

Funny Drama
This is real! The character of PresDir. Fang was similar to mine in my past. Until I realized that isn't what people need. Sometimes, we have to say something sweet, not to lie, but for avoiding hurting others. The important thing is not to become a sycophant. In a few sentences in this drama, I can be stunned or even burst out laughing.Remember what Yiren said "Antonym of fact is not a lie", it means we don't say lies, we just hide the things that might hurting people.
See, to LIE and to HIDE never be the same.

Uninteresting
I couldn't watch this drama because of the quality of it and it just seemed so uninteresting. I had dropped it after watching an episode in a half. I had read the synapsis and thought it would be an interesting drama but I was mistaken. Maybe, I'll try again but for now it was just hard to watch. I'm a big fan of the female lead since she was in eternal love and you're my destiny. So, I thought it would be good since this would be my first drama without her and Zhaolin as cast members. For this to be released in 2020, the production was bad.Was this review helpful to you?
Toute la vérité ? Rien que la vérité ?
Le plot est intrigant : la rencontre, puis la relation, enfin la romance entre un architecte (rigide) détestant le mensonge, et son assistante (pauvre mais chaleureuse, généreuse, pure.... et menteuse). Elle ment, pas pour tromper, mais parce qu'elle ne veut pas blesser les gens, manque de confiance en elle, ne sait pas dire NON.Ce CL est excellent. Ils sont beaux, talentueux et développent à l'écran une réelle alchimie. Leurs moments cute, de tendresse, sont vraiment ce qui maintient tout l'intérêt du drama.
En effet, quelque soit le mérite des acteurs, les personnages secondaires manquent d'intérêt ou de cohérence :
- la partenaire (love triangle) passe abruptement du comportement de "meilleure amie+ partenaire compétente" à "la peste acharnée prête à toutes les magouilles", puis à la "traitresse qui veut se venger d'avoir été éconduite" , pour revenir (en une 1/2 journée) au droit chemin et au repentir... Crédible , NON !
- le SML qui veut se venger d'une faute +/- imaginaire commise par son meilleur ami 13 ans plus tôt. La psychologie de ce personnage est confuse, complexe, pas très crédible. Je plains l'acteur qui a dû interpréter ce personnages.
- Le CL2, très cliché, entre l'amie intrépide et le jeune stagiaire (carrément puéril :( )
Etc.
Les obstacles sont assez banals : rivalités entre firmes, plagiat, harcèlement... Heureusement on échappe au "white truck of doom" et à l'amnésie :)
Le ton est léger. Les OST sont bonnes. Cependant, la narration est assez lente, s'attardant parfois longuement sur des scènes/personnages inutiles ou sans intérêt.
Conclusion : de très bons acteurs, un CL très mignon, mais une histoire mal écrite.
Morale de l'histoire ; le monde n'est pas noir ou blanc. Tout est +/- gris...
