6loyal friends, 3couples’ luv stories n their work lives... luv the visuals&the friendship...

What I like:
- The friendship... From the start it’s about 5 friends from college that got separated for a few years then reunited, n that’s how this story started.. some misunderstandings at first, but it wasn’t dragged n cleared early... n I like how they mainly focus on the 3 pairs from them (including 1 new friend), instead of having a complicated romance between them... n this friendship stays solid n strong till the end...
- The mainleads, their visuals n their chems... I like Shawn Dou, he looks good n manly, plus he always delivers in every character he plays, including in this one... Guli Nazha is ok for me n she is just so pretty... I know her outfit sometimes is a bit too much as an office worker, but she looks good in them, so who cares... Visually they both look good together in this drama...
- The other 2 pairs r also good... 1couple is kinda childish but funny, n the other is more mature but also cute... the actors play the their roles good... n all 6 of them has good chems as friends, so believable as good longterm friends...
- The cinematography, the wardrobes, the overall visuals looks r good n done properly...
- The business background story, which is a travel company for this drama where the mainleads work, is mostly interesting... some probs with the jealous colleagues which involves sabotage n tricks... plus some probs with their outside partners that create probs to be solved... this part I really like coz we get to see the leads working side by side facing the work related probs...

What I don’t like:
- That Gusa plot is just a bit too much sometimes... basically she became the investor of the company to mess up everything so ML could lose everything n has to go back to Japan with her? It’s maybe believable if ML is weak, poor n depends a lot on her, but he is an independent successful smart guy who has achieved a lot in the business world... plus, the reason why he came back is to get back with FL... I guess all drama needs that delusional villain kind that’s a troublemaker...
- Why Ding An must die? He is such a good character...
- Yuan Lai’s character annoys me sometimes... she is just so judgy, everytime there’s a problem, she just assumes the worst, esp towards JinRan... even the work related one can make her breakup with JinRan, n this happens repeatedly... JinRan on the other hand is a perfect guy type who succeeds in lots n this somehow makes him a magnet for crazy chicks! But the annoying part of him is that he can’t really be that bad guy who cuts all ties with them (1 is his Japan friend/investor, n 1 is his childhood friend)... n these 2gals r the roots of almost all of the probs...

Overall I really enjoy this drama n actually I’ve rewatched it, not the whole drama, just some cute fun parts... I just think compared to some of the modern office dramas lately, IMO this is much much better... I know its’not perfect plotwise or characterwise, but I still think it’s worth to watch if u like office drama with some good friendship & luv stories...
