Mature, Restrained Romance
I should start by saying I enjoyed the series, but at the end I found myself saying "What a strange show!" They don't make too many TV shows like this. It's clearly a romance first and foremost, but the two leads are so sensible and restrained, especially the female lead, that everything is very calm and understated. In other words, it really doesn't feel like most of the romances I've watched.
If you're looking for something that will sweep you off your feet, then this is probably not for you. On the other hand, I guess women find Leo Wu attractive, so the show at least follows that norm.
Some nitpicks? A couple of the secondary relationships were much less interesting. The FL was competent enough that she really should have been able to break off from her old employer about midway through the show, which is the source of some tension that felt a bit tiresome. Nothing here is a dealbreaker, if you're looking for something a little more mature than the average romance.
