The chemistry between Vin Zhang and Janice Wu absolutely carried this drama. If I didn't love them so much both individually and together, I might not have finished this. It's sweet how they fall for each other over and over again; it really feels like they only have eyes for each other.

Janice Wu's Xiang Yuan makes a bet with her grandfather and takes a job in a struggling branch of his company, where she unexpectedly finds herself working alongside her childhood crush, Vin Zhang's Xu Yan Shi. It's nice to see that although Xiang Yuan has grown up spoiled and getting her way, she's kind and hardworking and does take her job seriously. I liked how the events of the past between Xiang Yuan and Xu Yan Shi were gradually revealed through flashbacks. I was really glad that they cast actual teens as the younger versions of their characters--the teens did a fantastic job.

Xu Yan Shi has really faced a lot of hardship in his life; your heart will hurt for him. He's unaccustomed to sharing his burdens with others, and that's the biggest obstacle between Xu Yan Shi and Xiang Yuan: communication. They really needed to be better at talking things out, although on the plus side they did usually resolve their issues quickly. The last six episodes really disappointed me though, because they stopped communicating entirely. They should've worked to find a solution together! And, Feng Jun gets thrown back in the story and his actions and motives made so sense. What was the point?!

I enjoyed the storylines about the company's struggles; it's unsurprising for there to be office politics and rival factions, and there were some surprises I didn't expect. I loved the team that Xiang Yuan and Xu Yan Shi worked with and the friendship that they formed. Gao Leng was a bit over the top but still brought a lot of humor to the story. However his relationship with Chen Shu did become annoying later on and I wish it had developed differently. It felt like everyone just pressured Chen Shu just because Gao Leng was a caring person--but just because someone is caring towards you doesn't mean you have to be in a relationship with them! It would've been fun if there had been more of Xiang Yuan's brother instead of the Chen Shu/Gao Leng storyline. Also, I can't forget Lao Qing, who was probably my favorite character besides the leads! His humor was on point every single time.

I enjoyed the OST, especially Chen Xue Ran's opening song and 心里的流星 (Meteor In My Heart) by 周蕙 (Zhou Hui).
