First off, the two leads Arthur Chen and Zhang Jing Yi had incredible chemistry. From the very beginning, the way they looked at each other made it impossible not to feel the longing and quiet affection between them. Their eye contact alone carried so much emotion, and it felt natural. You could really see their feelings slowly building over time, from curiosity to trust to deep love. It made every shared scene feel intimate and meaningful, even when nothing dramatic was happening.

As for the story itself, I didn’t care for it that much. It wasn’t bad, but it also wasn’t particularly memorable. I found myself more invested in the romance than in the actual events unfolding. That said, the chemistry between the leads completely carried the drama for me. It was strong enough that it kept me watching even when the story lagged. I’ll admit I skipped scenes that didn’t involve them because I didn't care about anyone else besides them and their coworkers from the company.

Another major highlight for me, besides the leads, was their coworkers. They were absolutely hilarious and so endearing. I genuinely adored them. The dynamic within the group felt warm and natural, like a found family. They were caring, observant, and always subtly aware of what was going on between Li Xun and Zhu Yun. I loved how they would make little comments or tease Li Xun in ways that were clearly meant to push him to wake up and confront his own feelings. They understood him better than he understood himself at times. His past trauma constantly reminded him that he didn’t deserve happiness, especially not with someone like Zhu Yun, and the coworkers often served as that quiet support system nudging him toward growth.

What I didn’t like, though, was how Li Xun would often say incredibly hurtful things to Zhu Yun. My mouth would literally drop when I heard some of the words he threw at her. They were harsh and uncalled for, and it was painful to watch. Zhu Yun would walk away in tears, clearly hurt, yet she always came back to him. When Li Xun thought Zhu Yun was moving on, even after everything he had said to her, he had absolutely no right to be upset. It highlighted how selfish and emotionally unaware he could be. While he did become better once he learned to let go of his past and move forward, the damage he caused still lingered for me especially when Zhu Yun did nothing remain and remained loyal to him despite after their breakup.
