A Light & Casual Watch
I’ve been catching up on Ding Yuxi’s older series lately, so I decided to check this one out. The female lead is Esther. I’ve already seen them together in Love Game in Eastern Fantasy, and I personally didn’t like that story much, so I didn’t have high expectations going in. But this one was actually pretty good.
The plot feels quite fresh. The theme of working in the publishing industry, with writers and editors, is interesting and inspiring. The early episodes move along in a fun and engaging way. The female lead’s character is hardworking, determined, and capable at her job—she’s not just a cute character. She has clear development. The male lead is a bit spoiled/self-centered but takes good care of the person he loves, and there are plenty of funny scenes. From the middle to the later parts, the pacing gets rather slow, with a lot of filler and unnecessary dragging. The secondary couple’s relationship develops slowly, and some of their scenes feel unnecessary. The chemistry between Esther and Ding Yuxi is good, and the secondary couple is okay too. Another plus is that I believe they used the actors’ real voices without dubbing.
Overall, strong start, but the middle to end feels stretched and a bit boring. If you’re looking for a cute series without heavy drama or much toxicity—just a light, fluffy, easy-to-watch show that you can casually follow without any major peaks—then this one is worth checking out.
