Such a long wait for such a poor result

STORY:

1) Business part: 7/10
Lei Yu Zheng deals with people who want to remove him of his position as CEO and take over his company. Their inside man manages to do the job and Lei Yu Zheng falls into disgrace. After some times in limbo, he recovers and find a way to fight back. The part is quite entertaining with good protagonists and schemes coherent with the world of business investment, without being too complicated. Fun A-team concept to fight the bad guys.

2) Romance part: 3/10
Nice part between Xiao Su, Zen Rong. Their meeting and their dating as a couple is cute. Yu Zheng appears caring and unbiased. Then Yu Zheng deals with Xiao Su after the tragedy. Their past together is unclear and don't justify their antagonism. Their confrontation is short lived for no reason. Yu Zheng just suddenly changes his attitude towards her in the most unexpected manner and it makes no sense. Them getting close seems forced with the usual tropes (bet, drunk, old story, I misunderstood you, using kids of course... ). Their relationship is made of push and pull and lack of communication that make no sense compared to what they do for each other. They have few moments together for a long time. Only in the end there is a little bit of spark between them.

3) Family part: 0/10
During the second half, the drama becomes dripping with good values, good morals, good people who behave nice with the parents, the elders, the friends, the wife, the sick one, the family.... bla bla bla... It is like the writer decided to lecture the audience with BS good moralization. And the worst in this, it is that to convince the audience, he is going to change some key characters' nature in a complete U-turn. Meh.

CHARACTERS:

- Lei Yu Zheng : the guy cold and business oriented who suddenly starts to woo his ex future sister in Law. Makes her his gf, then he hides everything to her in the name of Love. That tortures her but he comes to say sorry. Cool. Shawn Dou did quite well. Just that the character sucked as a boyfriend. He showed good comedic sense in the last part. Should do comedy drama.

- Du Xiao Su : I liked her evolution from daring girl totally in love to fighting and persevering working girl to independent business woman. The story with the younger brother (two best friends in fact) is credible as she idealized him too much and they got together too fast. Her story with the older bro would have been credible if it was not farfetched, out of the blue and became a torture for her and for the viewers. Li Qin did well portraying a kindhearted and hardworking character.

- Shao Zen Rong : Poor bad guy.
- Jiang Fan Lu : Poor spoiled daughter becomes the perfect wife.
- Zou Si Qi: Terrible friend and a gold digger who left her boyfriend to date a playboy in the face of her ex to be awarded with 1500 USD handbags.
- He Qun Fei: Poor guy who took back his gold digger gf because she is the only woman he ever had in his bed.
- Lin Xiang Yuan: super playboy and great buddy and sidekick for Lei Yu Zheng . My favorite.
- Liu Si Yang: One cool guy from the A-team.

In short, most of the secondary characters were either uninteresting or just annoying because they took a huge screen time when I could not care less about their life, their story or their moralizing speeches.

MUSIC:
OK overall but terribly bad during the long speeches about behaving to be nice with the parents, the elders, the friends, the wife, the sick one, the family.... bla bla bla.

REWATCH VALUE:
- 6/10 but it means : No.

OVERALL
- Waste of talent of Shawn Dou and Li Qin who looked a very cute couple on screen and they showed good acting skills for me. The romance was too poorly written full of clichés and usual tropes. No surprise. No sparks. I don't recommend with drama.
