Enjoyable but nothing new

Except for Zhao Huan Ran who played Liu Xi Zhao, the actors were new to me. They all did a fine job. The story itself is nothing new: a self-absorbed CEO falls for his assistant. But even before that, certain foreshadowing leads us to a shared childhood experience between them that makes her special to him. Sure enough, a similar accidental encounter between them cures him of his phobia. This allows both of them more freedom, but he has already fallen for her. And as good he is about being CEO, he's awful at courting her. It doesn't help that he's getting advice from his completely inept Secretary who's never had a girlfriend.

There are a few scenes of a love triangle, but the FL had never shown any feelings but admiration towards the SML who was her senior at school.

What was disappointing and wasn't addressed even in the end, was that the ML made the FL lose out on an opportunity to train abroad in her chosen field. Granted, there are multiple such opportunities, but I would have liked it better if that had been addressed, so that we knew she wasn't completely giving up everything for him. We saw that he made huge strides and will likely keep making changes to be a better partner to her. I just wanted more for her sake.
