Really if Roy Chiu wasn’t in this…
Story- The first thing I have to say is it was just too long! If it was like 15-16 eps long it would have been a lot more enjoyable. Even individual episodes feel sooo long. The only thing I liked about it was the romance. I liked that it was straightforward and even though there were outsiders trying to complicate things for the couple their feelings never wavered. With that being said, the actual plot/or lack there was where I had an issue. After episode 10 I kept on having the urge to skip scenes and even episodes but I held on till episode 19. After that, I skipped to the last episode. At least the ending was nice. Really though an office setting is not the way to go unless you manage to make it where actual events are taking place and the audience isn’t just watching people work in an office and having conversations for almost 25 eps.
Acting/Cast- The casting was very good as the leads had good chemistry and the ensemble cast meshed pretty well. When it comes to the acting by the leads, I felt like Roy kind of had to hold Alice Ke’s hand. Alice Ke’s acting was passable but her lack of emotions during important scenes was disappointing. Their were angsty scenes especially towards the end but I just didn’t care because I felt like Shen Xing Ren didn’t care. As for the supporting actors, it was a mix bag meaning some actors overacted, and some good.
Music- I really liked most of the OST. Some songs were upbeat and made the drama fun and some were angsty but memorable.
Rewatch- I just don’t think I have it in me to watch this again.
Overall this only needs to be watched if you’re a Roy Chiu fan and you have a lot of patience.
