The premises was quite fresh: corporate slave in hell

I watched this since i like Li Li Zai and it was quite refreshing premises about being corporate slave in afterlife. I don't have any impression about Li Pei Yang beside his drama with Zhang Jinyi but i give this drama try.

The romance in this drama was barely minimum. There was indeed cute interaction between ML and FL but this drama is more focused on underworld company and catching demons. The underworld also has KPIs and customer feedback. When I saw the FL receive negative reviews, I can relate to her since it was life as corporate slave. FL is the lively and cute type, with a very sweet appearance. I need to praise the makeup and styling in the show; they weren't sloppy at all.

I think the FL's character is more compelling than the ML's. ML has been in the underworld for many years, while the FL is a modern woman who ends up in the underworld due to overtime work.

The overall story is actually divided into four smaller stories, which are connected to form the larger narrative, including the FL's rise through the ranks in the underworld. The story flow is smooth, the logic is clear, and there are no disjointed transitions. Instead of an initial dramatic, love-hate relationship, it focuses more on the gradual growth and interaction between the two characters.

The cons in this drama there is mismatch on ML voice actor it feels too stiff.

Recommended to watch.
