This drama kept me hooked

When I saw the trailer a few months back, I thought it was a romcom with a typical C-Drama story, but it proved me wrong. I loved the story a lot. I need more of this kind of story in C-Dramas. Romance is not the main plot of the story. I don't mind if there is a little romance, the story is well executed & pretty engaging. If you are a romance drama fan, then this is not for you.

Xu Si is a cunning, scheming, smart & always thinking about profit kind of character. Gong Jun acting was good. Looks handsome as always.

Jiang Hu is not our typical C-Drama FL, she is strong, smart, calculative, arrogant, not a damsel in distress or a crybaby. But she is also kind-hearted, and thinks about others. Elaine Zhong acting was good. Before this series, I watched her series The Furthest Distance, there is no similarity between the two characters. Both are so different. Even Elaine Zhong's looks are also different. From dressing to style, everything is different. Red Lipstick suits her a lot.

Xu Si & Jiang Hu sexual tension in their 1st meeting. Loved Xu S pursing Jiang Hu phase. Gong Jun & Elaine Zhong have good chemistry together.

One of the great things about this drama is that there is no cringy or creepy Male or Female antagonist who is after our leads.

Xiang Zhao Yang is the opposite of FL. She is quiet, reserved, does everything according to her principles. She can't tolerate wrong doing. I hated her mother, she is a selfish, money-minded women. Always using her daughter as an earning tool.

1st I didn't like Yang Jian at all for what he did to the FL in episode 1. But after that, he became Jiang Hu's biggest support & best friend. He was always there for her. Standing by her side, still the end. Their friendship is something I enjoy a lot. Yang Jian is a kind-hearted person who will go out of his way to help others.

The thing I didn't like was the way they wasted Wei Zhe Ming talent. He has more of a guest role than a supporting role. I feel like they used him. They would've given Gao Yi more importance in the story, then it would have been interesting. The interesting part is that both the FL have a crush on Gao Yi.

Why all C-dramas have a rush ending? They should've made the whole last episode about Male Leads relationship.

Loved the Ost.
