Your dream and your true-self is your best investment !!!

I love how Chinese dramas have evolved in recent years. They are showing strong female leads and this drama did the same.

Ning Meng-
The female lead’s character was so well written and Seven did a commendable job of portraying it. She was told that she could not become an investor. That's a norm set by our society that women cannot make good investments. But she proved them wrong. From being a secretary to being a director, her journey became motivational to all the women.
She was straightforward, and kind, never gave up on her dreams and even helped his former boss when he lost everything. This drama will make you cheer for her in her career growth. This was the best role Seven played(in my opinion)

Lu Ji Ming-
Whatever I say about this character will not be enough. He is a self-centred jerk from the start who only knows how to belittle everyone around him. When he said what he said in front of her senior while having dinner was unacceptable. I wanted to punch him so hard. Then they showed us his backstory. I did pity him after that for a few episodes until Yimeng’s entry. He was so nice and kind to Yimeng which means he knows what being nice means. Then why did he do that to Ning Meng, I will never understand this. But after episodes 17-18, he understood that he was in the wrong and that he liked Ning Meng. After that, he began to change and his character development was good and his father’s death played a crucial part in the development.

Their chemistry-
There was no chemistry. There was slow burn romance that can be categorized as emotional intimacy and understanding. This drama was not about romance from the beginning, it was about career growth and this drama did well. They got together in the very last scene and I liked it. They matured in their own way and then they came together.

Side characters
Su Wei Ran-
I have no sympathy for this character. If someone is born rich then they are not at fault. You cannot deny their existence or you cannot take revenge on all the rich kids just because your girl got away with the rich man. To be honest I don't think she cheated, he said they were having problems and they were fighting a lot. They both were struggling and he became aggressive. It was her fault but only partially. The way he denied his part was uncanny.

Si Tian and Yu hang-
They both are my favourites after Ning Meng. They are so cute together. They did not waste any time and got together. They were supportive of each other and of the people surrounding them.
