Could have been better with more episodes
First of all: this drama had a great premise, however, it ended up sounding superficial - to me - due to the lack of space for development.
Although I didn't like FL's relationship with her first love, I still think that their story is much more solid and has many more elements than the FL's romance with the CEO. In fact, the boss is much more mature and interesting, while Yu Jian is a mama's boy who wants his girlfriend to drop everything for him. It is for this reason that, despite everything I will mention in this review, I did not supported Yu Jian at any time.
Speaking of the FL, since the series is about her, I think that, despite being very independent and ambitious, she can also be immature - I still can't accept how she acted towards the CEO's daughter - and dependent. That's why I thought it was really good when Xue Yu Ming left for Singapore. This helped her becoming more mature and make a solid foundation for herself.
Talking about Xue Yu Ming, he is a at least, sane, character indeed, but he also didn't know how to communicate and sounded manipulative to me. Anyone who says that he didn't take advantage of the FL's moment of fragility - the breakup - to seduce her, will be lying!
And speaking of Xue Yu Ming and Xia Guo's relationship, the chemistry was is undeniable between the actors - chemistry, this, which doesn't exist with the other male protagonist - but their story didn't convince me. It was all too fast, too superficial and extremely based on their work. Even the dialogues were about work. At least we had good kisses. lol .
That's why more episodes would be needed to reach the level of depth that the first couple had - which, in fact, doesn't necessarily mean that the two were good together, just that they had more history.
Finally, I found the drama touching in several ways. I felt bad about what Guo Guo went through on the first path; and I don't think Yu Jian deserved her. In my opinion, they both wanted different things and did not want to abandon their own lives; They loved each other indeed, but not enough.
