Cute modern workplace drama

Overview: Ding Yike just lost her job and her boyfriend of seven years but she did win a reality tv show that landed her a job at the fashion company May - the only problem is she has no interest in fashion! Her new boss is cold and efficient, with a mysterious past. And what is up with her pesky downstairs neighbor, who is starting a boutique of his own?

My opinion: I enjoyed this drama much more than I thought I would, and I give a lot of credit to the FL for being so engaging. The ex-bf is unappealing (the drama makes it hard to explain what she saw in him to begin with??) but the slowly unfolding relationship between the two leads was enjoyable. It felt like a Chinese drama take on Devil Wears Prada at times, which I liked. The drama often breaks the third wall, having the actors speak directly to the audience, which I felt helped a lot with exposition. The original male lead was edited out and a new actor’s face was superimposed - it mostly works but there are a few scenes where he looks weird and I think that is why. The ending is abrupt/choppy but the loose plot threads were mostly resolved. The story would have been a lot tighter with 16-18 episodes instead of 24 but I know that’s not typical for Cdramas. Enjoyable but not memorable.
