just another chinese rom-com with better characters & actors

I was really excited for this drama to air, mainly because of the actors. I have been a huge fan of Ryan Ding and Esther Yu. When I heard about pairing, I was excited and they didn't disappoint. The chemistry between the leads, and the second leads was spot on. The characters, in itself, were well thought-out and weren't superficialized for the drama's sake. I felt home with the Zhou Chuan's character, as i could relate with all his emotions and actions. Chu Li was an adorable softie, but she knows how to stand up for herself and the people she cares about.

The story and the direction had few flaws. For example, when chu li's parent just walked in to the house while they were making out? Doesn't make sense, how could they access the door? how did they find where she lives? and many more like that. Moreover, the story felt a bit dull for the second leads, as i find myself skipping scenes as I was bored out. I, however, liked the entire publishing company set up, it was something that i found interesting and could understand.

The reason i said that it's like other rom-com cdramas, because it has just the similar typical elements and the flow of the story isn't anything unique .

Overall, a nice fun watch for rom-com, but don't go looking for more.
