Sadly, this was disappointing. Yes, it was epic, but the story lacked balance between long periods of dialogue and action. I guess there will a sequel or two.

Dorky, but loveable!

So, for me, in the end, New Horizon was a mixed bag. I thought it got itself back on track from eps 31 - 42, but then show bailed out in the final 5 episodes with very forced/shortened storylines. Our leads played their parts well, I just didn’t like Wu Di much from ep 33 onwards. Even Xia Yu seemed to turn the corner. Du Wei was outstanding and a true friend to all. It could have been great *sigh*

Your small rant is justified. What you have said is spot on. Wu Dei deserves so much better as does Xiao Mo.

After three episodes, show still feels flatter than a pancake to me. The cast is very good and the concept is an interesting one. However, it just isn’t gelling for me. So, sadly, dropped.

Short and sweet, with all they key elements you would find in a more expansive rom com.

Although the reveal of the collaboration between the two MLs is not a complete surprise, it still doesn’t mean Wu Di is off the hook re what she said about Xiao Mo (even though he says it’s okay!). Good on Ren Yuan punching the other guy too.

We start to see him begin falling for Wu Dei during ep 39

The first episode was awesome on so many levels. The older leads, the camaraderie of the older supporting actors, the challenges of HR and restructuring, hints of some delectable interactions to come and all topped of with a fabulous hit over the head! :)

Xia Yu and Lou Dong (although there are times I feel sorry for him)

For me, the show of the year :)

Ep 36 - Kudos to the writers and the actors, I think to get me wishing that Xiao Mo moves on and finds less heartless and selfish people in his life. Wu Di is totally and utterly out of line. As is Xia Yu (I know he is grieving, but…). Both blame others for everything wrong in their lives and not being able to face their own feelings. Neither of them, bothered to really see how Xiao Mo is or whether he is getting better, and when they do, they refuse to accept his wishes to be left alone to grieve, sift through why the accident happened (very suspicious) and his confusion re being left half the shares. Just because you are made of steel doesn’t mean you aren’t human underneath it all. He really needs Du Wei in his life.

The odd thing is, I think this so much more better written regarding what is happening now than when you see the same issues and behaviour in many other shows. I want to see a positive resolution for our characters re them all moving on. However, him getting back with Wu Di wouldn’t ring true for me, nor him becoming great friends with Xia Yu, but stranger things have happened in real life and in drama land. When it’s all said and done, maybe I am just getting sucked into the “soapiness” of the show :)

She is a great friend to all and not only that, she is objective!

I was quite surprised at how strongly this was written and in terms of delivery, well it was a good piece of acting, but very cruel as far as the story goes. Yes, he is the only one changing himself. Any company would be lucky to have an employee like Xiao Mo, even though he was a bit over the top on a couple of occasions :)

Ep32 - what can I say? Wu Di, you can’t have it both ways!!!

Overall, it is a good drama, despite one or two annoying characters. One in particular is way over the top. It’s worth a look.

Well, the annoying plot lines have happened as you predicted. I thought the change up in ep 26 was good, but with eps 28-30, it took all of my restraint not to use the ffwd button more than I did. Still fingers crossed from here on out :)

Ep12 - knocked it out of the park for me. Just an amazing show. It’s almost too cruel having to wait until next Monday for the final episode!

And there is the irony of the show, as it deals with this very issue. Personally, I think she is a good actress and I like her character in this show. However, I didn’t think much of episode six story wise (although it did highlight some key issues), but the ending for that episode was very good.

I was under the same impression! Show deserves a happy ending - for all our characters :)
