A Delight
I'm discovering chinese drama, and honestly there's a recurrent theme I appreciate so much which is REFORM.
I'm so used to the protagonist/antagonist sort of stories, from american to french to korean to japanese productions, and it's so refreshing to see stories where there's no duality of good and evil, and where the plot is not centered around individuals.
All characters can be flawed and all can learn from their mistakes once given the chance to do so.
The story of this drama is especially inspiring, in a world where citizens around the world are rendered insignificant, comes a story about collaborative work and setting common goals.
I only removed a half star, because I found the drama too easy going with stalking stories (both the engineer creeping his way into his crush's house "to fix her cart" and the hairdresser who had a crush on the secretary so she started following him everywhere because "she misunderstood his comment about telling her to keep her distance") .. I simply couldn't ignore the cringe I got from those scenes ..
