11/10 Johnny + Dilraba Chemistry
This drama reminded me of a mix between all the powerful girl boss moments of Dilraba's drama Sweet Dreams and Nice to Meet You. To be completely honest, this drama was a very stereotypical 45 episode Cdrama in terms of the plot, BUT it had a lot of western television drama vibes with its characters. Such as, I have NEVER seen a C drama nor K drama where the characters were super touchy and hanging all over one another. I thought touching was against the law in these dramas! It was really refreshing to watch a drama that had the elements of a cdrama, as well as the romance we see in westernized tv. This drama reminded me of Nice to Meet You simply because the two main female leads were designers, Zhou Fang in clothing design, and QQ in jewelry design, where their dreams are to open up a customization section. Plus, there were hella people behind the scenes trying to ruin Fang's career, such as the other drama, simply because of her relation to Song Lin. It reminded me of Sweet Dreams simply because I felt like Dilraba's character in this drama was all the good elements as well as her boss lady kickass vibes that weren't explored enough in Sweet Dreams.
I am not going to lie, I am a little biased, as I am a huge fan of Dilraba, and love her dramas, even though, most of them aren't that very good. So I was happy to give this one a higher score as this one is def my favorite of hers. But her chemistry with Johnny is what made me want to give this drama a 9. I would give their chemistry an 11/10 honestly because it seemed like they were a real-life couple.
But I ultimately gave this a 9/10 because it was just too long and I wasn't into the side characters. This 45 episode drama seemed to drag on towards the end. Yes, the ending was super cute and I teared up a little, but there was way too much filler even though, this drama was supposed to be about two people being dragged through the mud, but come out on top. And it goes hand in hand with my feelings about the side characters. I feel like QQ and Yu Lin were main characters in this drama, and if you cut out their bull crap, the drama would be shortened in half. Don't get me wrong, I loved QQ as a friend, and Yu Lin was an adorable person and friend, but as a couple...yuck. QQ was super back and forth all the time, which annoyed me for being such a strong character in every other way. Then we have Yu Lin, who was a cute puppy dog the whole drama, until the end when he would rather lie and put QQ in a weird position, rather than stand up for his relationship with her. It was annoying, BUT I did appreciate that the writer didn't force any relationship because it was a drama and everyone should be happy.
Overall, I am happy I watched this drama, and I will 100% rewatch episodes here and there. I rewinded so much watching this drama the first time, just to see the hot and heavy Dilraba and Johnny moments. Another point, SO MANY insinuated sex scenes and I AM HERE FOR IT!
