Romcom Investigation Mini Drama done right.

The story : After a drunken misunderstanding XiLing and ZhaoHe keep cross paths, as she is accused of colluding with her fiancé to embezzle the company's money.

This drama is a beautiful surprise. I started watching it with no expectations. And I was seduced by the comedy, the fast pacing of the story and the good chemistry of the leads. The money talks are not boring and the romance is heartfluttering. Some beautiful kisses as well. It kept me interested. So I recomment it. It reminds me of the story of Michelle & Barack Obama who was her trainee when she met him. ( Minus the age gap ).

Pro :
- Strong and sassy Female Lead.
- Strong and commited Male lead.
- Good pacing.
- Good comedic scenes.
- Very realistic.

Con :
- One dimensional villain.
- The fighting scenes could have been better executed but I forgive them, because it is a mini drama with low budget. They did their best with what they had.
- The second couple could have been portrayed more in my opinion ( SML), but I understand that the emphasis was on the first couple and I liked it.

Overall:
I liked this drama and I recommend it if you like lighthearted romcom.
