Nian Shao You Wei (2026)

2026 Most creative Drama

Refreshing story line meets perfect casting = me binging through 18 episodes in 2 days.

This drama is the perfect way to "decompress from the real world" especially if you've ever lived through a 9‑9‑6 type of grind.

The characters are all great, even the minor ones, each with their own distinct personality.
Beyond the quirky humor, the show delivers real emotional depth and sheds light on the everyday struggles of modern salaried workers.

Casting is perfect. There are so many seasoned comedic actors.

Definitely loved every min of this drama!

Mikah's song "Shadows Dancing" as ending song is just icing on the cake!

Beyond my Daily Dose of Laughter

What a fun drama! Each day, I look forward to it’s airing episode.

The plot is simple - Pei is a game programmer who loses his job at a typical exploitive company who slaves their employees away b/c he wrote a document to help employees advocate for themselves. It reminds me of Jerry Maquire (1996 film). Penniless, unemployed, discouraged, he is approached by a tycoon who offers him a job - to start his own company. The goal is to lose $$. If his company makes $, he only get paid a low base salary. This leads to some very fun, outrageous scenerios and makes for excellent comedy.

Acting:
The cast is fantastic - everyone from main actors to even side characters, like the twin receptionists. You can’t help but notice them. Everyone character is quirky and funny in their own unique way. No sure how they manage that but it’s just so funny. And each of them carry their character so well. Even the lackey of the baddie. They all work together so well to make you laugh, sometimes a chuckle and other times RFTL.

Music and sounds:
Perfectly complements the story. I do enjoy the pop songs.

Directing / storytelling:
The set up for the comedy is so well done you just can’t help but laugh. However, what’s great is that the story is deeper than just laughs. Characters are developed and we care for them. The pacing never drags. We are left always wanting to know what’s going to happen next. What is Pei going to come up next? How is this failure idea possibly going to turn around? It also pokes fun at the various industries - entertainment industry, gaming industry, and more. It even stimulates our intellect with word play, riddles, poetry, puns, etc. It’s lighthearted with an underlaying theme that looks at the value of a human being. Very touching. I even shed some tears. So, many layers to enjoy and absorb this drama.

So, is this a romantic drama? NO, but there are a few hints of romance. Is it good? DEFINITELY. It is so worth my time compared to so many other dramas I’ve watched over the years.
