Arghh, this drama gave me very complex feelings. If you are just looking for romance fluff, skip this, because even though it showed the giddiness of love, it also gave a hard dose reality. The good points of this drama are that it depicted seemingly real persons and real problems. It showed the growth of Xiaoxiao as a person and not just in her love life.

I have watched past dramas of Zhou Yutong, Li Hongyi and Wang Dong and was generally satisfied with their acting and so I decided to watch this. (Side note: LHY was WD's son-in-law in the Legendary Life of Queen Lau).

With odds frequently stacked against, Xiaoxiao was not a Candy who needed a knight in shining armor to always save her during her predicaments. She finds logical solutions. Though she relied on LuMang because he was her boss, she did not expect him to support her at all times. When she realized that NieJaoFan was toxic she really tried to break it off him. When DuanChong courted her, she often refused his money. And even though she experiences sadness and failure, she kept on pushing forward.

On the love story, this had the most realistic meet cute I've seen. They were awkward, gave each other polite smiles and bashfully got each other's number. They just gave off happy vibes when they were together so that you can't help but feel happy for them. The conflict started when Xiaoxiao started her own media company and forgot appointments with her boyfriend. For me, it was not she was prioritizing work over him, she really just needed time to establish her small company. She loved him but she also needed to pursue her own dream. This showed that success in love does not only depend on being with the right person but also on the right timing in a person's life.

The faux endings reminded me of another Zhou Yutong's drama, 'Long for You', which by adding a single scene turned a sad ending into a happy one. Good thing they chose to end it on a positive note, making it a cool world after all.
