Relatable and swoon-worthy
It was just my type of drama. Perfect slowburn with sizzling chemistry and believable characters. I simply love it when the whole drama doesn't force the main leads together as if these two characters are the whole reason for its existence. It gave them a proper time and let it brew as slowly as possible to have a perfect fragrance.
There were many topics that were touched by the story that one could relate with. Rat race for careers, sycophant colleagues, weath pressure and of course most innate one- jealousy. They also touched the point how usually rich kids are perceived by the world. Some simply hate them for being rich (as if anybody has a choice in it), others see them lazy/unworthy of competition because " they are born with silver spoon so they are good for nothing". It is good to see this perspective as well.
(I wonder if it is going to be with the recent Chinese censorship of showcasing less delusional world to its netizen which creates unrealistic standards where one has to be extremely rich to be happy mindset which is ruining the society and I also think it is about time.) This show has definitely given me many impactful scenes so far. After watching numerous dramas, there comes a point when you can easily anticipate a scene especially, in Cdramas, like what is going to happen next and the fact that in this one they just made it look so normal nothing like all those cliched scenes but something that could or would happen in reality, that is something that made me love this drama even more. As for other characters, I am just not gonna hate the SML he had his reasons and a definite character arc, but the actor was so good in arising conflicting feelings in viewers. Similarly the other female characters. If you hate a character, definitely they are doing a fine job in acting. I loved all the cast (I was really hoping for a drama that could bring Song Wei Long out of the shadows. He was never able to properly convince me with his acting before but this one is definitely his best for me, acting wise). What can I say more, dialogues, cinematography and the music...so dreamy. You will definitely fall in love with this drama for its simplicity and genuine character arcs.
