yah...low budget web dramas used to have posters that look like low budget web dramas looks like they shifted the budget for actors and writing to cinematography
Now for a spoiler: The one thing I didn't like about the story was this part in the last fourth of the drama when FL gets promoted to a director and on the path to be the head of the the branch if/when her boss moves away. FL is one of the newer hires (compared to TangYa and others who were teaching her how to evaluate companies when FL first got hired). It's nice to see that FL reached her goal in the end, but it just didn't seem realistic when there were other veterans there who didn't even have their own office. I guess in an investment world, it's about how successful your projects are, but still, it didn't seem right. But at the end, after FL doesn't decide to take the position, TangYa is set to become the head of the branch, which I think should've been the first choice. Everything else in the story made sense to me, just this one bit that was ehhh
I know I am asking for spoiler but I read on Youtube that the FL and ML wont end up together in a romantically…
honestly, early on I was watching a bunch of those summary vids/spoilers (Chinese voice overs of scenes cut from already released eps) and it really didn't help bc I just had these spoilers that were going on in the back of my head that may not have even been true (it would've been alright if it was actually true)
Because his last girlfriend dump him for an rich guy like the ML .
I'm thinking that too...let's see how far it goes it's just a bad situation bc FL actually told him that she wasn't 100% and he said its ok...so he kindof just put himself in a bad situation where he's putting a lot of effort in and expecting results that might not happen
Can anyone provide some insight or a mini-review into the romance for this one (i.e. what the dynamic is like,…
In the first handful of episodes (and now that I think of it, might be just over a third of the drama) it's is a bit difficult to watch because it seems like harassment at that point. But this dynamic definitely changes. And the ML's best friend has balanced and thoughtful opinions/ways of thinking, so I think it helps a bit, knowing that not everyone approves of ML's behavior. So I would say there really are red flags, but I think this drama sets up the ML for growth, and that might be the takeaway at the end. Still have 10 eps to go, so I'm excited.
Lol, I don’t think the male lead is that bad. I watched up to Episode 20 and I think a lot of people misunderstood…
On ep 19 now but I definitely agree a lot with what you're saying. On the friend YuHang: it could be the alternative motive to make ML realize he likes FL, but I feel like it could be a truely honest observation that ML has liked the girl for so long that YuHang thinks it really is the only love ML knows. I think actions like YuHang preventing SiTian from bringing FL to the ML and YiMeng shows that YuHang is really a mediator trying to create the best outcome for everyone and trying to prevent anyone from getting hurt. If he had that alternative motive, he would be hurting YiMeng who is depressed, which doesn't match YuHang as a thoughtful character. He's the nice guy/great friend that actually gets a girl ;)
On another note: ML's very obvious flaws now of how he treats people not matching what he really means only means there's room for character growth. I'm glad we watched past the first few eps where we can finally see his inside.
While I like the little bits of humor sprinkled in and the romance in the air, I think my favorite part so far was the obstacles that the FL faces after the first handful of episodes...its this realistic feeling of "that's just life"...not the basic obstacles like someone is out to get her. While she's the main character of the drama were watching, she's not the main character in their world. Also can we talk about what a QUEEENNNN Ms. Shi is??? The theme of female empowerment through mentorship was something I was not expecting. love it.
ahhh rewatched this and one again, it didn't disappoint Very appropriate character growth and pacing for this length of drama (although I have a really hard time believing the real timeline of...what...< a year? you don't realize it unless they talk about time though so it's not a big issue) One thing I really like is that our main characters/love triangles have no sabbatoge
the coach and psychologist went through his room without his permission ? what kind of psychologist is that?
Although the coach did say that normally they can't do this but its a special situation so it was an exception, I still feel like its crossing the line too
I'm also not the biggest fan of the Dr....I was especially concerned when she had a patient visit her at her house (nothing special, but I feel like that in itself is not professional)
didnt wanna write a review but seeing so many bad reviews made me want to justify the drama a little bit. Honestly,…
I definitely agree with you! Although it does seem a bit draggy/slow paced at times, they cover those issues well (not too dramatic but not too quick/lightly). Also, for me, its a good thing that its slowly paced like this; I don't feel like I need to binge everything at once (and I can have a regular sleep schedule), but I always come back (honestly bc there's nothing better to watch rn HAHA) I do have to say, the first couple episodes did feel faster, like a 24 ep watch, so I can see where people are coming from. But if you don't attempt to binge, then its easier to adjust to the new pacing after the beginning episodes.
