I don't have difficulty suspending disbelief, but...

Good :
-the interactions between the leads at the beginning. Their banter was funny. However, once they got together, they were pretty boring.

Not so good:
-FL looked a lot older than the male
-Get the ML a barrette! His hair was driving me crazy!
-2ML was evil and got away with stuff for TOO long - Started in episode 1 and lasted until episode 23
-Costuming. His suits were just bizarre, and I really don't like the shorts and high heels thing for women.
-ever changing bad guys
-he was trying to become the president, but kept getting demoted, promoted, asked to resign, etc.
-too much focus on the business - filler (is there a rule that Chinese dramas have to be a certain number of episodes? Because, for the most part, in my opinion, they could be cut way back to make them better)

The worst: (for me)
-the strangest time travel story I have seen. She meets and becomes friends with herself 10 years in the past? And I have a hard time believing that the mature woman in the present was the same as the past FL. In the past she was clingy, stalker-ish, childish, immature, needy.
-the 2ML didn't care for her in the past, but when she shows up from the future, he likes her?
-the ending. I'm assuming that 10 years were supposed to have passed (because the office workers have a kid and are pregnant again), but everyone looked exactly the same. I know Asian dramas are big on the long, intense stares, but they were apart all that time and just stood and stared at each other. The ending was abrupt and very underwhelming.
