These actors deserved so much better...
Wu Bo Wei is an AWESOME actor, and I hope this drama just goes down as his 'first lead ML role' in what I truly wish is a great future acting career. The FL Wang Zi Fei needs some more acting experience, but she has solid natural talent and she's so cute and sexy.I see some comments knocking their acting, but I say it's not their acting that sucks, it's everything else about this drama that sucks. Don't believe me, watch it with the sound off and pretend the production value and styling were given more care, and their dialogue was intelligent and interesting. And it's not just the ML/FL that have natural onscreen ability, the 2FL was very very decent. The 2ML needs more confidence and experience, but when it comes to their "hot" scenes, he can turn it ON like the flip of a switch and it's so sexy.
The suckage that was this drama came from literally everywhere else *except* the main actors. The dubbing and sound were atrocious. The production value was bargain basement low. The stylist really phoned it in. The script.... I have to say the basic storyline was good. It had a lot of promise, and a lot of satisfying elements to it. But the way that storyline was fleshed out was really really bad.... you have a super generic snoozer boilerplate "business plot" with deals, shares, bidders, projects, none of which are the least bit interesting.... and you have a love story that tries to convey depth, but with inane and uninspired dialogue that a middle schooler would write. The story outline is built all wrong.... the sexy love scenes between the characters are HOT, and they are overwith by the halfway mark. The rest of the drama is taken up by shares, board of directors hijinks, liver cancer hospital visits, healing emotional rifts between characters. It drags and there's no reward at the end at all.
If you're watching for the HOT factor, you only need to watch the first half and then you can just ditch. If you're watching to catch Wu Bo Wei's first big role, he's good here but hasn't really come into his own as an actor. He's far better in Close To You, where the production is a step up, the role is a more complex one, and he has built more confidence as an actor. And if you're actually watching for the story itself, then godspeed because justwow on that whole script thing.
A semi-intersting watch for someone interested in following the careers of ML/FL/2ML/2FL. The first-half spicy scenes were really electric but WAY too short, and too few. The overall drama itself was straight dumpster fuel. I really wholeheartedly wish the best for these actors' careers... they have a lot of promise.

Enjoyable drama with 2 love stories
I don't remember what made me save this drama on my Youtube playlist. I think it had something to do with ML rugged/rough looks. I was in a phase hahaha.What I liked:
1. ML characterisation - I like that he is black sheep of the family who made his own living instead of depending on his rich family.
2. Romance - There are two couples in this drama and I enjoyed both.
3. Supporting characters - I like ML's friend & colleague as well as FL's assistant
What I disliked:
1. Supporting characters - Second female lead was childish despite putting "strong woman" front. She ran away from her problem instead of confronting it.
Favourite scene
When FL thought ML was gay

Una historia linda, parejas dulces y con una buena relación
Un oasis de paz y buenas relaciones es esta miniserie, entre tanto otro minidrama de relaciones tóxicas. La verdad que andaba buscando algo sencillo que me deje tranquila y contenta y esta serie lo logró: ME ENCANTÓ.El malo al final no logra hacer nada (más que poner cara de malo), la protagonista es decidida y sin maldad, el protagonista va de recio pero en realidad es un dulce de leche y entre ellos tienen una relación que se nota muy natural. Y lo mejor, en esta serie... (sacando el engaño del guion) la gente HABLA. Se COMUNICA, lo que es una genialidad de ver y muy, muy reconfortante.
La amiga es genial; también la tiene muy clara en lo que quiere y no se anda con vueltas inútiles. El segundo protagonista... bueno, es el más "retorcido", pero no llega a más que un poco manipulador. Igual, no es mi estilo, reconozco, pero la amiga de la protagonista le pone los puntos y lo encarrila, y le explica por qué está mal manipular gente por más que sea con buenas intenciones.
En fin, muy recomendado para pasar un rato agradable y descansado. Ah, PD: mención especial para el secretario de ella y el amigo de él, jiji, que cumplen muy bien su rol :)
P.D. 2: la escena de él a punto de tragarse el anillo me hizo llorar de risa :D
