somewhere where time is meaningless~
Annoyed for most of it, but smiling like an idiot by the end
This drama is definitely only for an easygoing watch or a quick binge. Having been stressed out due to exams, I quickly started it and very quickly finished it (probably because I skipped through like half of it but anyways). I did almost drop it about four times, though I'm glad I held out for the end.
The story is the most predictable, bland and typical plot to ever exist. Cold on the outside, warm on the outside wealthy CEO boss man + well meaning, clumsy but hardworking subordinate. But, as always, the romance just works so well. I'm a basic bitch with a craving for fluff what can I say. Though the story and characters are unoriginal, I definitely enjoyed watching their journeys unfold. The female leads in particular were what made me hold on. Yao Qing is who I want to be if I ever grow up. Though the show pushed many patriarchal ideas, the three female leads were (sometimes) steering us away from those outdated notions and voicing what they wanted and who they wanted to be. Much appreciated.
As much as I love the ladies, this is a romcom and the romance has to be at the forefront. Which it was. I had a difficult time with it in the middle as they started introducing more and more love interests for every single lead only because it was so unnecessary and you knew how it was going to play out. But watching the romances unfold was fun and they were sooooo fluffy and sweet. I felt like a 7 year old reaching into a jar of gummy bears. It was a blast. The couples also seemed to have such good chemistry with each other as romantic partners, but also as friends.
The beginning and middle were adequate at best, but by the end as all of the romances has unfolded and I saw all of the things from the first few episodes finally come to fruition, I could not stop smiling like a complete idiot. It was just so cute.
So yea, if you need a cheesy, fluffy, cavity-inducing show this is what you are looking for. I did have to skip through multiple scenes, but I don't think that lessened the quality of my viewing. Most of the stuff I skipped were the boring business-y things that barely pertained to the story anyway or the cringe ex-girlfriend/ex-boyfriend nonsense.
