A great workplace romance
9/10 is my rating. This is a 2013 Taiwanese drama spanning 21 episodes (45 minutes/episode).
Qi Yi (Aaron Yan) returns home after being successful oversees and buys a small advertising company as well as his childhood home. To his surprise his home is already occupied by Chen Liang Liang (Puff Kuo) who has a lease that was not cancelled desite the sale and she refuses to move out. Things are further complicated when Qi Yi discovers that Liang Liang also works at his newly acquired advertising agency. Recovering from a broken heart, Qi Yi forbids any office romances as one of his big changes. This sets him and Liang Liang at odds as two of her friends work at the office and were at the verge of a proposal. Liang Liang becomes determined to save their love and find a way to make Qi Yi change his policy even if it means taking one for the team and making him fall in love with her. Slowly, Qi Yi starts to fall for Liang Liang, but Qi Yi's former love, Ding Jia Yu (Lyla Lin) comes back into the picture when Qi Yi's advertising firm teams up with a company that insists on utting Ding Jia Yu not only on the project but in Qi Yi's office. Ding Jia Yu has had a change of heart and is determined to get Liang Liang out of the way and win her way back into Qi Yi's heart. Dean (Dean Fujuika) is also working on the project from a partnering company and is mutual friends with Ding Jia Yu and Ling Ling but develops special feelings for Ling Ling. This forms the basis of a love story with lots of twists and turns.
Spoiler 🚨 I really liked this story. The love story developed slowly yet it was easy to understand how they would have been drawn to each other. I liked how sweet natured Liang Liang was and what a great friend she was to those in her life. You really wanted to see her life go well. I am a fan of happy endings and that is definitely the case with this one.
