Quite like the plot but not having the romance.
I enjoy Sun Qian Xun acting and want to watch this since i like the premises about FL who was died for 11 years suddenly come alive with her 18 years looks.As always Sun Qian Xun always playing as strong Female Lead. I don't really enjoy Liu Sansi-Sun Qian Xun romance since there is no chemistry and fluttering feeling between them. I just enjoy her approach for the brothers in here it quite interesting. The T-shirt on the office is quite tacky, i don't like FL the styling at all.
Only Recommend to Sun Qian Xun fans who are not seeing romance drama.

Familiar with plot but letdown by the amateurish acting
I am preparing a reddit post about Sun Qian Xun's dramas so I picked this drama to watch this weekend on iQIYI. I have seen the first version of this story which stars Chen Mu Ye so I am familiar with the story. Unfortunately I struggled to watch this drama in one sitting. In my humble opinion, this version isn't as good as Chen Mu Ye's version.What I liked:
1. FL characterisation - She was assertive and focused. Sun Qian Xun gave a good performance.
2. Family - Family is the core theme of this drama. FL was insistent on reuniting her family and I liked watching her interactions with her elders at the board meeting.
3. Styling - That bright yellow Stephen Curry t-shirt was striking. She stood out in a good way. Liu San Si also wore nice clothes.
4. Supporting characters - I liked FL's brothers but the middle one lacked screentime.
5. Food - Mukbang. Gosh I wanted those dishes after seeing them eat.
What I disliked:
1. Acting - The cast's performances were underwhelming - like they were amateur actors. There was no emotional punch when the siblings reunited. I also didn't sense any chemistry between Sun Qian Xun and the other actors (her love interest, ex biyfriend) and actress who played Jiang Tang.
2. Relationship - Romance wasn't the focus of the drama but I felt letdown by the lack of pull dynamics between FL and ML. They didn't even seem like friends. Just landlord - tenant & an acquaintance from high school.
3. Antagonists - Huan Yu was annoying & manipulative. Gu Jing Chuan was pathetic.
Favourite scene
When FL met her youngest brother Shen Ji An

What a fun ride! I hope there's a sequel.
Adorable and funny. Strong female lead that doesn't take crap from anyone (which is a very nice change from delicate effeminate female leads that we see way too often) but is still full of heart and purpose. The male lead was freaking adorable! Loved his changes from stiff CEO to lovesick puppy.Loved it! Wish it was longer.
Only negative things for me:
*It's a bit weird that she's still 18 but the guys pursuing her (even though they're technically her age) are 29.
*I felt kind of cheated at the ending, but maybe they'll give us a sequel?
*The romance isn't well developed, which is fine if this is a part 1, but not as a standalone.
