Tries not to be tropey but has the worst drama tropes
Why was this one of the best and one of the worst dramas at the same time??
The ML and FL are mature most of the time but everyone else around them seem to have the classic Cdrama script with common tropes of annoying rich MIL, annoying rich SFL etc. I hated how even the misunderstanding because of not communicating trope was overused throughout. The characters were not consistent I felt, especially when FL was wronged there wasn't enough apologies made to her by anyone including the ML (who allowed his mother to disrespect her WAYY too much for my concern).
Good parts were all I learnt about Chinese fashion industry, decent SML, cute flirtation including via texting between the leads, best CEO secretary relationship in any drama hands down and ML's acting.
Overall would not watch again ever and would not recommend. But if someone has started watching it - it is a nice one time summer watch.
