Will a arrogant girl with only grit and bad temper be able to revive her father's failed company?

Rich and Spoilt Jiang Hu is the daughter of a father who caters to her whim and fancy. An intelligent, spunky woman, she has never had a care in the world. Arrogant and headstrong, she gets what she wants without a care in the world.

Her world comes tumbling down when her boyfriend advises her father to invest in a fund that loses its value overnight. Her family loses all their wealth, and her father passes away in shock, leaving her with a lot of business creditors to satisfy. As her assets are auctioned, she upholds her father's reputation and pays off the debts before trying to restructure the company.

Xu Si, an investment expert who returns to mainland China from a position at a Hong Kong investment bank, crosses paths with Jiang Hu. Xu Si is good at making investments because he understands the myriad permutations and combinations that go into making one a success.
Xu Si, who has always been driven by ambition, targets the rubber-soled shoe brand "Tengyue," founded initially by Jiang Hu's father. With an unwavering determination to rescue "Tengyue" at any price, Jiang Hu, despite her own downfall, becomes embroiled in a fierce battle against Xu Si. Ultimately, their interactions and challenges will shape the destiny of "Tengyue" and decide whether it can be rejuvenated.

Jaing Hu, having met him on several occasions, approaches him for investment. He set her a target of selling 20,00 shoes in her inventory in 30 days before deciding to invest in her.

Fallen from grace but not in her attitude, Jaing Hu and Xu Si bring their egos to the relationship and engage in explosive discussions with each other as they try to work together.

Rich, spoiled princess saved by powerful boyfriend

It’s a horrible story about horrible people.
One female lead is a cruel, manipulative, spoiled princess. The other is a doormat who continually takes abuse from the princess and never stands up for herself. At first, it’s fun to watch the princess suffer a little after the way she manipulates the other, causing her to lose her job in the process. You think she might start learning some lessons, but she doesn’t. And it’s hard to keep cheering on the other because she continues to go back and let the princess manipulate her without any consequences. I started to believe they both deserve to fail.
The only two likable characters are Yang Jian and Hong Die. The rest are overtly stereotyped and without depth. They hint at some secondary story lines, but by episode 23 they are still only hinted at with no development.
I know some of the actors are very capable of being adorable and charismatic and fun to watch, but it’s not evident in this show. Not sure if it’s the writing or the directing. Everything is bland and monotone.
The princess schemes and doesn’t care who gets hurt. The doormat quietly takes abuse and comes back for more. The mysterious guy both girls like is just sort of there in the background. The guy who loves the doormat teams up with the princess and almost costs her a second job (though he meant well, the princess didn’t.) Doormat sits around letting everyone else decide her fate. Powerful investor guy works behind the scenes to clean up the princess’s messes. No one has shown any progress towards becoming a better human being. I’m really not sure why this show has so many good reviews.
I watched it because of actors I like, but they’ve been muted by the story.

The storyline, the plot, the OSTs and yess they got the amazing casts..both the male and female lead really got me! for real, they make a good pair. Can't wait to see another drama of them together pleasee.. their chemistry was very chemistrying!!! For the fact that I didn't know about the release of the drama, however it seems a good drama finds you in a good time and good mood to watch so was the Rising With The Wind.

One of my favourite dramas to date

Always love a good finance-related drama and Rising with the Wind is one of the best I've watched in awhile. Absolutely loved it, it's actually one of my favourite dramas I've watched in awhile. The plot is pretty fast-paced and very engaging. The story line on running a factory is actually really realistic, I really felt for the female lead when she had to deal with all the pains of entrepreneurship. The business negotiation scenes are especially fun to watch, the intensity between the characters is just riveting. The male and female leads in this are both very smart and charismatic as well. I liked how their characters developed and grew with their experiences throughout the show. Really great chemistry between them as well. 10/10 recommended!

Deserve To Be Award Drama

Watching this drama is getting me so hooked, with the engaging story, cinematography, the journey, the acting skill of each actor/actress is just so good This is also the closest to reality C-Drama I have ever seen in term of the business and investment. My favorite here is of course the FL, really love ZHX acting and as always the aura that she bring in her acting skill. Overall really learn a lot of thing in this drama and I really recommend those to watch this drama too. If I had to say the shortage of this drama, I would say it is not enough episode. I think it can be extended to 42 so we can see ML FL wedding and how the two company stand side by side in a few year timeline.

Happy ending but bad

Nice plot,happy ending but not satisfied
Every people who watch this drama hopes an ending who main characters have a romantic moment,kiss scene,marriage,or something else
Also i think the last episode(40th) should be placed on episode 39 ,writer must placed a happy ending scene on last episode,which told them (jiang hu & xu si) had a great day together,run factory together,sweet moments & something else
I swear if you add that scene on last episode,viewers will appreciate that,and the drama will have a good ratings,>8.5
Hidden Love,Sweet teeth,Amidst a snowstorm of love
That’s my recommended drama which good rating & review, I hope writers can emulate that dramas

Running With and Against the Wind

I love this drama for its storyline, its cast and the love story between the main leads. The script is well written and nothing is superfluous. The main leads have well-fleshed out characters and both have their flaws amidst their strong personalities. Elaine Zhong portrays a strong-minded, feisty rich girl, Jiang Hu who has to turn her family business around when she is met with tragedy and betrayal of family and friends. I think Elaine carried this character well and is able to portray the independent and self-confident woman who has smart ways of turning events to her advantage. To her, trust is the most valued aspect of relationships and she seemed to have lost her faith in trust when her family, friends and most of all, her lover seemed to have betrayed her. She grew up as a much-indulged daughter and to her, her father could do no wrong. Along the way in her quest to make sure that the family business stays relevant and thrives, she finds out truths about her father and realised that there are reasons behind the events that led to the business' downfall. Gong Jun did an excellent job as a super-confident investor, Xu Si whose beliefs in his investing profession are questioned when his action caused Jiang Hu to walk away from him. The chemistry between both leads is good and their relationship develops with the progress of the business. Like many other viewers, I feel that the ending is too abrupt and could have been fleshed out more. Nevertheless a great drama - I have already rewatched it.

Best C-Drama in my life

This is the best Chinese drama I have ever watched, both in terms of the artists' visuals and their acting skills, which feel incredibly natural, as if it's real life. The storyline is intriguing and goes against the mainstream, very realistic. The plot twists add to the curiosity. The OST is also good and enjoyable even though I don't understand the Chinese language. I haven't been able to watch other Chinese dramas because I'm still rewatching this one. I deeply feel the happiness and sadness experienced by Jiang Hu. I also want to experience the seeds of love growing between Xu Si and Jiang Hu. The storyline feels authentic, showing us how to handle betrayal, how to forgive, and teaching us that we must rise even after a fall.

If a season 2 could be made or if we could wait for Gong Jun and Zhong Chuxi to pair up in another drama, that would be great. The final scene of the drama lacks a bit of excitement, at least there should be a wedding.

Where is the romance at ?

from the beginning of the story to the end it only talks about business and there is no progress between the ML and FL characters. I know, even though it's only 8 episodes, there should be some spice of romance, even if it's just a little. What's more, for me, I'm watching this drama just for romance, not to learn about business or investment, and in this drama it's too in-depth to talk about investing in company owners/company power. I think the story is pretty good but I still don't enjoy watching this drama. I don't know why. Maybe dramas like this aren't my favorite. If the author adds spices of romance to progress the romance of ML and FL, maybe I will like this drama more than just talking about business. .

A great contemporary series Starring Gong Jun & Zhong Chu Xi

PLOT: FL's father goes bankrupt and dies. FL loses everything in a few days, including those she thought were her friends. The ML (a young investor who works in mergers and acquisitions) prevents FL from committing suicide. Meanwhile, a young designer (FL2) gets fired. FL buys back the family brand at auction against everyone's advice and hire the designer.

+++ Gong Jun & Zhong Chu Xi (♡°▽°♡) in a very natural CL, with great chemistry.
+++ A bunch of excellent actors bring well-developed, engaging characters to life.
+++ The Industry vs. Investors setting is interesting and well-executed (without too much technical jargon :))
+++ Fast-paced direction, with great work on lighting, framing, and effects. No inconsistent plot twists; the whole thing feels quite realistic.
+++ Pleasant OSTs.

### Very slow-burn romance

=> A very nice rom-business series with two very endearing romances.
*************************************************
Affrontements Industriels Vs Financiers

PLOT: Le père de la FL fait faillite et meurt. La FL perd donc tout en qq jours, y compris ceux qu'elle pensait ses amis. Le ML ( jeune loup de la finance, qui fait des fusions-acquisitions), empêche la FL de se suicider. //t, une jeune styliste (FL2 ?) se fait virer & le FL lui propose 1 emploi. La FL rachète aux enchères la marque familiale contre l'avis de tous.

+++ Gong Jun & Zhong Chu Xi (♡°▽°♡) dans un CL très naturel, avec une belle alchimie.
+++ Bcp d'excellents acteurs donnant vie à des personnages bien développés, attachants.
+++ Contexte Industrie Vs Financiers intéressant et bien mené (sans trop de jargon technique :)
+++ Réalis° rythmée, avec un gros travail de lumières, cadrage, effets. Pas de twist incohérent, l'ensemble est assez réaliste.
+++ OSTs agréables.

### Romance très très slow-burn

=> Une très belle série Rom-Business avec 2 CL très attachants.

I love Rising With The Wind soooooo much!!!

Everything in this drama is PERFECT!!! I don’t know what to say, but I know all cast and crew have done a hard work. Business story is easy to understand, and love lines are soooooo good for me! All Ost. are beautiful and I’m waiting to listen via Apple Music or other music streamings.

I love Gong Jun and Zhong Chuxi more and more! Xu Si / Jiang Hu’s relationship and their character developments make me crazy in love with them. I think their business certificate is everything more than marriage certificate. It’s intense, I don’t know how to explain my feeling. Gong Jun is always good-looking (I’m falling into him, someone helps me) and Zhong Chuxi is my pretty girl (She’s the reason why I watched this drama, but everything is masterpiece, so I stay here.)

And I want to admire Wu Xuanyi and Gao Zhiting. They have done their great jobs and fullfilled this drama too! Their love line is interesting and warming my heart. And every cast is PERFECT! I love all of them, obviously.

I assure I can say the word ‘PERFECT’ for a thousand times to Rising With The Wind. I’ll rewatch this drama as soon as possible, because I love it!!!!!
