Thank you! That means a lot because you are one of the reviewers here who make sense and have a good understanding of the drama (I've been reading the comments). The business talks are vital to understanding Shi Yan. So, viewers who skip the business talks lose the right to criticize Shi Yan and the drama, for that matter. His embrace of Mr. Li's suggestion for the collaboration shows how humble, sensible and sharp-minded he is, humble to take the advice and swallow his pride in the next steps, sensible to consider collaborating with his love and business rival and sharp-minded to know how to go about the collaboration. It's a brilliant idea and has relevance in all types of businesses. It just needs mature and capable players like Shi Yan to work.

So, that's why you have a good understanding of the business aspect, since you are exposed to a familiar arrangement at work. One thing I like about cdramas is they try to be informative. Some viewers may take this as propaganda but I like knowing new things, especially how other cultures are using new or advanced technologies and techniques.

He had an ex-girlfriend though I'm not sure how long they stayed together, but most probably more than a year since she was expecting marriage towards the end of their relationship. He most probably started dating before he was 23.

There are many pretty women who are not actresses and I know women who attract men like bees to a flower

A drama rarely, if ever, caters to everyone's taste. So if it happens that a drama is not your type, drop it and move on. I don't understand why viewers who don't like a drama see a need to whine about it, especially if they didn't watch the drama in full. Isn't a review supposed to help others understand the drama better? Reviews of those who didn't watch the drama fully, that is, those who skipped scenes or didn't complete it, are simply misleading. Especially those with unreasonable expectations. This drama is mainly about a 25-year-old reporter for a finance magazine and a 27-year-old CEO of a venture capital company. Expecting a drama with these descriptions of leads to be all about sweet-nothings and not have business talks is unreasonable. If you don't want a substantial drama with business talks, give this a pass and spare other viewers misleading reviews.

As for me, I enjoyed the business talks. They provided a substantial backdrop for the development of the romance, not to mention providing a rags-to-riches account of a struggling start-up. Most important, they helped in understanding the characters better. Aside from his intelligence and business acumen, they show how tenacious and loyal Shi Yan is. Against all odds, he holds on to his vision and does not leave a struggling start-up in the lurch. What does it say about him as a lover? A lot. It means he is the "Till death do us part" type. Shu Yi should be so lucky. But he's lucky too and he knows it. She also sticks to her vision, pulling herself out of a project just so her vision can go on. They belong together and deserve happiness together.

Shi Yan is so naughty. He gets a kick out of teasing her, hehe

so many exciting scenes for me but "uncle" revelation and wedding + Shi Yan's love at first sight reveal top the list

i think it has something to do with the scandal around zhang zhe han. some people blamed him

oh, i didn’t know. yeah, where may we find the revised version?

i used google translation

Somebody should also tell these actors and actresses when they're dieting too much. I don't find ZLH handsome anymore and I watched this coz of him 😭

i'm afraid c-ent is doing to its actors and actresses what the fashion industry has been doing to its models - making them look like skeletons. This needs to be stopped.

what is it with c-ent actors/actresses being super slim? Are they working too hard? Is the stress too much? Zhang Ling He was so cute in Love Between Fairy and Devil where he looked healthy. Here, no amount of lipstick can hide the fact that he just looks emaciated. And one thing I hate most in dramas are weepy female leads. Here, the male lead took in that role. Good acting doesn't mean being overly emotional to hide the blandness underneath, Good acting is showing the appropriate emotion at any time.

better read the novel. second part would probably not be shown coz of the plagiarism scandal

spoken like a true fan. though fans should encourage actors to grow, not bask in his blandness. he is still young. he can still add depth to his acting as he matures, with the proper nudge

it is said, "there are no small roles, only small actors". no matter how insipid a character is, a good actor will make him memorable. Right now, his character is overpowered by second, even third, leads, in terms of import. he is coming off as bland

they're much more interesting than the leads. ml is rather bland

i'm hoping the actor will prove himself to be more than a pretty face

I find cdrama actors and actresses the best looking performers - Xiao Zhan, Wang Yibo, Yang Yang, Wang Hedi, Xu Kai, Dilraba, Zhao Lusi, Yang Mi, Yang Zi, Bai Lu, etc. can't be beat.

I also like that they're cool, not too fond of overreacting and screaming.

That's why I now watch cdramas exclusively

Reading the comments while trying to decide whether to watch this or not, I came across comments about imdb. The imdb score of TTEOTM, currently 84, is actually high for a cdrama that has gone international. International passersby tend to score low. For them, 7 is a good score. So, the more international passersby a drama has, the lower its score will go. Only shows with massive fandom like GOT that can counteract scoring of international passersby get absurdly high scores. But 8.4 is really a great score. Look at other cdramas that have gone international for a while. Princess Agents and Princess Weiyoung, both great dramas, have 75 and 78. For international viewers, these are good scores. So, no need to get all worked up about antis.
