The story was derived from the point of view of the bestfriend Jiang Nansun.
It's was annoying at first few episodes due to slow paced. Once the characters was gradually introduced, each characters showed their strength and flaws.
Zhu Suo Suo is the most misjudged character, maybe because the revelation of her character was slow, but once it was revealed her character was spontaneous and you can easily find out what kind of person she is, what's her life since little and why she's acting like a money hungered adult.
Jiang Nansun on the other hand is the opposite, she's pampered and she lack nothing. At first I find her annoying because of the ways she's attached to her boyfriend who has no disposition in life. As her father gradually fell into a bottomless pit because of a pile of debts, Nansun became a vulnerable and unpredictable character. Although she learned her lessons the hard way, it's worth it, she grew up into a formidable woman ready for all the challenges.
Ye Jinyan is a character who hid his pain because of his daughter's passing. Because of this he treated Suo Suo differently and nobody knows the reason but he is not romantically involved with the girl, he just looked up to her as a reminder of his daughter.
Wang YongZheng is one complex character and Tony Yang acted well.
I love the rapport between Fan Jingang and Suo Suo as well as how she treated Yang Ke.
Acting wise, this drama was cast by good actresses and actors. They did justice to their character.
Cinematography indeed adds up to beautify the story.
The musical score gave a good impact too. You can feel the mood of every scene.
For me, the writers did their job well, but one point I notice is that they wanted to create the flaw in the story so they make these two main leads keep their financial situation from the people close to them. They don't want to involved more people. They want to face the adversities by themselves. For me, it's the flaw of the story. It's understandable to cast a lot of people but I found some unnecessary characters or those not suitable for some reason.
I noticed that every person that each character met in the early part of the story will later be a permanent part in the latter part of the story.
This story has a lot of flaws but to me, I don't mind it because I felt the story is realistic with lots of good moral lessons. They consolidate friendship, romance, business, family matter and sexual harassment in office setting which to others may seemed too much but I really liked it.
A lot complains about the ending but for me it's acceptable, the type of ending I really foreseen!
If you are a viewer who is easily bored with dramas with lots of conversation, this one isn't for you.
