It's much more than the tropes it appears to be

An unusual romance pairing but executed beautifully, a plot filled with some great life lessons and values. Interesting corporate politics. It doesn't end on the usual "idealistic marriage ending" that many Chinese dramas have and it makes it a realistic and down to earth watch. Many parts of the dialogues give a sense of wholesome goodness. Male lead has very interesting expressions and non-verbal cues sustaining the audience attention. Soundtrack is particularly good and sets many scenes into the right mood.
