harsh realities of the workforce & the importance of book smarts and street smarts

I wanted to watch this when it aired.

Alas! I am 4 years late but better late than never. I highly recommend this drama to mature viewers who have experience being in the workforce. It is also a good drama for those who have not entered the workforce to get a "taste" of what it is like.

What I Like Very Much:
- This drama has a stellar cast. Never once did I cringe because of poor acting. The acting is top-notch and very believable. Big Kudos to the cast, especially the main leads.
- I like the complex character in the form of Wu Ke Zhi. Although he is not a perfect worker/ superior, he comes across as someone with heart and whom I, like Fatty, will like to work for and to work with. He is portrayed as someone who deserves respect for how hard he works and for how dedicated to being a good person he is.
- Lin Yu Ming is another character that I like very much. I like the way he speaks and how he knows what works for him and what does not.
- The plot, despite being in the workplace and all, is not boring at all. In fact, I find the storyline engaging and eventful. I want to know what happens next and am riveted enough to want to keep on watching.
- This drama is a drama about growth of the different interns/ newbies as well as the development of the older staff. I enjoy seeing how the interns/ newbies become more skilled, more experienced, more tactful etc.

What I Do Not Like at All:
- Yin Sheng Chao is positively heinous. What makes this worse is that there are really people like him in the world. He is devious, evil, malicious, selfish, manipulative and just downright a scumbag!
- I find the drastic change in Hao Shuai from cunning and bold to a little "broken down" puppy hard to swallow. The drastic character change does not appear realistic and congruent to me. I do not like it. I feel that he should stay feisty and shrewd. Nonetheless, Yin Sheng Chao gets his just desserts in the end which makes things feel much better.
- Ma Zhong is another annoying boot-licking character who curry favours the top and ill-treats the subordinates.
- Gao Si Cong is positively irritating. He thinks too highly of himself when he actually is not that great. Thankfully, he grows and changes positively.

Additionally, from this drama, I have come to realise that a college degree is important because without it, doors are closed. Case in point - Sun Yi Qiu. He has the smarts and he is willing to work very hard but, without a proper college degree, he cannot find good employment in a reputable company.

Overall, I highly recommend this drama because of the amazing cast and the great plot!
