Copy/ paste office drama and misery
First review ever!!!This is not the most terrible drama on earth ever but it felt like a copy paste of so many other office dramas that I just stopped feeling the need to go on with it, because at some point it just felt like I could predict the whole story.
Even though dear and beloved Xu Kai was part of the cast, there was not one character that stood out for me.
Love triangle, obsession , sabotage , first love, enemy to lovers were all present but they didn't make much difference in the acting and storyilne.
I would say for the 27 episodes that I watched that the plot felt repetitive with the same pattern of problem and resolution coming and going almost at the same rythm.
I wanted to love the drama and root for at least one character or anything else, but ,that is a NO for me.
Don't bother , unless you are here for Xu Kai.
P.S :Also english is not my first language, so sorry for the poor grammar.

Smile Dropped
I want to preface my review by saying, I know starting a drama after reading its plot and being prompted by the plot to go for it, you definitely watch the whole thing with certain expectations.I expected this drama would be about a personality transformation. How the transformation would be presented and how it would unfold was the unknown.
That being said, I waited more than anything for ONE very huge moment, every new episode the ML and FL relationship was growing I was holding my breath for it and this is where I got the BLOW.
If you haven't guessed it , I was waiting for the first ...smile. The ML first smile. I mean the whole thing was about a SMILE!!!
It came, but it was not special , it didn't appear in a slow motion or a close up or unforgettable setting. I can't even tell when it happened. I just found myself seeing it appear more and more.
The first smile from the ML was drowned and was inserted somewhere convenient after some tense situation and a reunion that felt too rushed .
It felt like I watched the whole drama about someone who couldn't express himself emotionally and once they got "unblocked" and cured that part was not special anymore. It was ordinary.
Once he became unblocked all the new emotions appeared all at once so the transition just killed the drama for me.
I have to be honest after episode 30 , the show was over. I fast forwarded the last 4 just in case something special happened but I could have stopped and it would have been perfect.
The acting was good. Was it extraordinary ? Some parts yes, especially in the beginning for Lin Yi. Chemistry between the 2 actors didn't work for me. I would put them together as siblings or very good friends but their cute moments with the FL smiling for no reason all the time annoyed me a bit. She felt surprised most of the time by him kissing her, and it felt weird and unnatural to me. Lots of kissing but most fell flat or unnecessary.
This drama was very promising but the storyline got lost somewhere and the smile became irrelevant.
That was my disappointment.
