Pleasant and realistic drama, brought to life by a very cute CL

I've watched first this drama for Johnny Huang!! I love this actor and once again, he gives here an exceptional performance with Wu Jin Yan.

But I quickly liked this drama.

It's a realistic, well-written series who describ the business of streaming e-commerce platforms.
It's not very focused on romance, the storyline is mainly based on the company, its difficulties, its challenges, the employees,...
This series is not addictive, with a good clifhanger at the end of each episode :) but we get attached to the characters (who are not black or white in a Manichean way).
Hard work and perseverance, often evoked in Asian dramas, are also strongly highlighted here.

To enhance this business storyline, there is the romance between Wu Jin Yan and Johnny Wang. It is natural, without twists or tricks. Their trust and support are rare and, above all, their chemistry is exceptional. Their moments of tenderness make sparks.
The secondary romance is also very well done, with believable interactions, and fantastic actors. The development of their relationship seems natural too, although the end is not as happy as in the lead couple.

The family ties are described with subtlety, even if two characters leave me perplexed:
- the father who returns 13 years later and expects his (abandoned) daughter to open her arms to him
- The mother, who out of guilt?, refuses the relationship between her son and the girl she loves as her daughter. What responsibility does she have in a car accident, one evening of drunkenness, when she is only a pedestrian and an attendant ?

Other than that, there aren't too many clichés, no coma, or amnesia, or a pure-innocent-naive girl. ;)

The production is great and the OSTs are really excellent.

I therefore recommend this drama to all those who are interested in trade, technological developments, with a little touch of romance to embellish the story.
