Best modern ceo romance ever? The high score is to congratulate the whole production for pulling this tired genre into a new era.
The dream drama! 1) great, respectful relationship 2) excellent chemistry 3) moved at a good pace for two adults, one with an established history 4) plucky heroine is genuinely smart and resourceful etc.
On top of that a semi-realistic mystery and family intrigue to add bit of forbidden romance and hurdles and keep the plot interesting. With both as believable architects. The murder mystery element was cute too but kind of unexpectedly dropped out at the end.
Our main male lead actor Chen Xing Xu consistently can be a bit wooden when trying to act reserved, but he excelled at the romance parts and when he needed to unleash the fury he did so well enough to be worthy of rewatch. Lu Yu Xiao acted girly and young while still pulling off a range of emotions from sadness, to anger she had a nice range. The couple also had excellent chemistry together.
There was some good themes too both with the primary and secondary characters about sibling rivalries, standing up to corruption, healthy parent-child relationships, what it means to be a supportive man and good relationship partner etc.
It's well worth the watch and miles above most who attempt this plot.
