As long as you don’t take this drama too seriously, it’s a fun time. The office story is so fast paced, they don’t even bother having dialogues, which was just fine for me, I would have fast forward those parts. I get they just wanted you to see how hardworking they are with so many overnights in the office chair and McDonald’s breakfast. For sure I wanted McDonald’s breakfast and travel to Taiwan. I even looked up that soybean maker ($100)!

I do love the friendship of the 4 characters, because it is so unreal. Only in dramaland, you would drop what you’re doing, in the middle of the day, during work to meet your friends. Also, when it comes to the friends, they are so rash and ready to fight without knowing the full story. One thing for sure, they are on your side, even if you are in the wrong. Some weird scenes where all the characters finally meet and there were no dialogues! Even when they were having hot pot, they decide to decorate a bag?? The order of things that happens…

The work issues that happens to Ziyu are so trivial. But if you blink, you’d miss the forgiveness part because the drama has already moved on. One minute she gets yelled at, next she is angry about it, then she is happy back to work as usual. Actually, Ziyu’s optimistic personality is what I like about her character. She is forgiving and does not hold grudges, with her tragic childhood and mild-mannered sense of honesty, it makes her a very simple character.

I did enjoyed to slow burn romance of ShuChen and Ziyu. It took 26 eps to finally be together and first kiss! What I liked was, there were no love tri-angles nor no accidental kiss. They were committed to each other.

ShuChen has this mature and boyish look that makes him so charming. He also has a beautiful smile... he smiled a lot! He was so patient with Ziyu to accept him. Even when she disappeared, he didn’t want to force her to be with him. Funny part was when he couldn’t left the water to replace it... yet they give us a scene of him working out and showing off his abs… lol.

Yang yang was my favorite character! Her backstory was the best, it made me cry! Her motive to succeed for her dad was so moving. She put aside love and fun to focus on her goal. That’s admirable. She is the independent woman I want to grow up to be! Every parents want a daughter like her! That little worker of hers was so annoying.

XuanLi and YiHan had such a complex relationship. I barely paid attention to this couple. Xuanli was the drama queen and YiHan… I didn’t like them. But I’m glad he was able to walk away from her.

WeiCong was the comedic relief. He was so relaxed that he barely did work. How did he become a director? His relationships were also hopeless. He was so spoiled from his parents and friends. He seems to be so ungrateful.

Brother Luo was so psycho. I thought the drama was gonna forgive and redeem him in the end, but NO. He was a total villain up the very end. I don’t think he admits or apologized to ShuChen and Ziyu at all.

Re-watch? Only for the comedic scenes in ep 6 and the little romance parts of ep 11 & 26.

I also really liked the opening and ending songs by Leon Zhang and Awaken-F.
