"Bland Compilations of Sweet Scenes" Type of Drama
This drama is the definition of anthology of sweet scenes but sadly they have no souls..Here are the reasons why..
Story : Very basic, nothing new from "domineering CEO & his staff" romance tropes. I really wanted to drop this drama midway if it's not for the mainleads. I'm sorry but the story was relatively boring & I realized they made the Mainleads characters to be more focused on work aspects, so I felt when the drama really tried its best to create romance vibe/situation by adding dramatic scenes, I cringed. Don't get me wrong, I love some office romance dramas like the leading "What's up with secretary Kim" or "Her Private Life", but in this drama, the pacing is not the best like many Chinese dramas could pull off.
The format is the same, for C-Drama with 24 episodes the couple would date on 17/18th episode, but sadly even after 2nd half of the drama, I didn't feel the connection between the mainleads. It felt like they merely recited the dialogue straight from the script. More than that, I didn't like that eventually, Mainleads relationship considered not healthy for me, as both parties esp ML still likes to hide things from his partner, and the last few episodes where they summoned Xia Ke's Ex. It was just too cliche, her character's motivation is just too unrealistic & dumb-purely to create misunderstanding between the Mainleads, like "girl, where's your pride? won't you just back off? your ex literally has moved on & already has a girlfriend.."
Cast : 9/10. The Mainleads are undoubtedly great in creating romantic atmosphere esp kissing scenes, but unfortunately I didn't see any sparks or chemistry between them. Maybe it was because of the script that literally left them with only few scenes to build their chemistry.
I actually do like the casts playing the second leads (He Yu & Yao Qing couple). They had the biggest character development here. Love their maturity & chemistry. Other casts are just fine.
Cinematography : On point, but just like in "Love is SweetX", the lighting are too much when they did romantic scenes..
Values : Believe yourself as you're more than what you think, family is everything, TRUST & HONESTY ARE THE PILLARS OF EVERY RELATIONSHIPS.
Conclusion : Interesting premise but executed poorly, everything seems to be rushed out in the end. Still, if you're interested in watching this drama after reading the plot, some good reviews & the casts list, just go ahead. Nothing new & deep to the plot, but yes it's filled with sweet scenes and hot kisses *ahem the Mainleads casts are popular with their kissing skills*.
Would rate it 7/10
