Better than I thought
TLDR: This is good :).Has been looking for a good rom com for a long time and found this gem. Actually saw the trailer a while back and during that time I've watched How Dare You and really liked Wang Churan so wanted to give this a try. But at that time it wasn't released yet and tbh the trailer didn't really captivate me. Plus the ML and the cast is quite foreign to me so i eventually forgot about this.
Recently started to look for a good rom com again and finally decided to give this a try. And i am glad i did! It turned out to be the kind of rom com i like with a bit of fluffy-ness.
Story/plot: Probably nothing new and has probably been done many times. It's your typical ML and FL had misunderstandings from the beginning and somehow dislikes each other. But yet are forced to deal with each other daily and eventually become friends, and eventually falls in love.
I will say the bread and butter in this drama is the interactions and scenes between the ML and FL. But surrounding that is also a lot of plots, etc related to their work. Like the investments, etc. I've seen some people dislike it, but i personally didn't mind it.
Cast: It's my first time watching Tian Jian Ci. I usually have a hard time with unfamiliar faces in dramas. But i grew to really like him as i watched the drama. I see some people comment that he carried the drama with his acting, etc and i kind of agree. His acting was really good and a pleasure to watch. I really hope to see him in more dramas and roles like this.
For the supporting casts, tbh some of them was a bit annoying and hard to watch at the beginning, so i mostly skipped them. Especially scenes with Jun Cheng and Dang Yu. He was just a very annoying character in the beginning. But eventually he grew up and it was later quite pleasant to watch them.
Otherwise in general the other supporting casts are good and quite liked watching them. For example Yao Jing Jing and Lu Ze. And even Fang Yun and Liao Shi Yu.
Won't mention the FL since i liked her before i watched the show.
Rating: I will give this a solid 7.5. I will say i am giving this a bit of a lower score, not because it's not good, but because of different factors like story/plots, etc I don't think this deserves an 8+. But I will say this was a very pleasant watch and I would rather watch this than a lot of dramas rated 8+.
