So much fun
I didn't expect to enjoy this as much as I did. The office setting was really well done, very relatable if you've ever worked in that environment. While the characters weren't always in realistic scenarios, it still felt very true to the office life experience, at least for me. The micromanaging of the higher-ups, the random initiatives to increase productivity... It all rang true to life with a silly twist.
I mostly watched this drama to see Wang Hedi and Chen Yuqi, but I came out of it really enjoying all the actors and their characters. While Wang Hedi is labelled as "specially invited actor" he's in pretty much every episode, though not always a central character. It's worth watching if you like him and want to see him do a more comic and boyish role. Chen Yuqi also does really well in her role. Her comic moments in Unchained Love were some of my favourite parts, so it was nice seeing her do more comedy here.
Zheng Kai was very likeable as Li Tianran, and the natural build of his romance arc was done very nicely. I liked that the focus of the show was on the interpersonal relationships between all the characters, with at least one episode featuring even the smaller side characters more prominently. The romance arc is just an added feature instead of the focus.
Overall, this was a really fun watch. I tore through all 40 episodes, which surprised me because I usually take a longer time to watch things. It was just so easy to watch several in one go, and I enjoyed it a lot.
