Absolutely rubbish
This drama sux so much. I rarely drop dramas especially one with Luo Yunxi but even he couldn't save this garbage. The female lead is grating, people keep saying things in the dialogue about her age and it's clear they cast an actress who's much older than the character. I don't mind older characters but fix the script, it sounds stupid. Her boss keeps talking about how the FL is so young and idealistic (even refers to her as "This little girl") and the boss is CLEARLY younger than the FL. The acting is cringe. The chemistry between the leads is completely non existent. The FL is not likeable at all and flip flops between acting like a door mat and trying to order people around who have no reason to obey her.The office drama feels like it's written by a teenager who can't imagine a real workplace but understands school bullying, with their grand plan to get rid of the FL basically being "be really mean and cliquey to her until she leaves". It's embarrassing watching a 40 year old lady staring sadly at her lunch alone while wishing people liked her when she doesn't ever try to talk to any of them or make friends.
Also the fake research plot makes no sense, they didn't even bother trying to come up with a convincing way they did it, they just lied about the numbers.
It's all just awful and it's weird that this drama got made.

So, so boring
This is the most boring drama I've ever seen. I actually love Gong Jun and have been waiting for this to come out, but he's so wooden. The story is slow moving, boring as hell and introduces just a ridiculous amount of characters in a row like we're supposed to care about all of them. And sorry but Gong Jun was not good in this drama, at least in the first few episodes. He's wooden as hell, his expression never changes. It's probably not his fault because he was given basically nothing to work with. A very straight laced character. If you like Gong Jun just go back and watch Word of Honour again.I was watching together with a friend and we just dropped it after 4 episodes, it was too excruciating listening to such long conversations about information we already know.
