The chemistry is outstanding! And I'm glad I found this gem.
STORY:
The story follows Jiang Jun (Bai Lu) who struggles looking for a job in the investment market industry despite having degrees in economics and psychology due to her father's death. She then applies at MH, the top investment company and crosses paths with Yuan Shuai (Luo Yun Xi) who is a childhood friend she hopes not to see again. Unfortunately, he is at the top level of the chain at MH and she needs to gain his approval if she wants to work at MH. She also rents out his apartment next door due which of course she doesn't know that belongs to him. The furnishings of the apartment follows her taste because hey, he knows her well right? There were of course the cliché hindrances of love square I think? But I didn't hate on Qiao Na the same way I hated how Du Lei interfered with the romance brewing between the main leads. I enjoyed how Yuan Shuai harbors an unrequited love in the guise of being that annoying childhood friend. It's kind of like how elementary kids show their affection with their crushes. The second leads, Xu Li and Xiao Chuan were okay I guess but their chemistry and story didn't really stick to me.
ACTING/CAST:
Let me just say that it was my first time seeing Luo Yun Xi and Bai Lu act and I can easily spot that they are really good actors. Boy, they can act. Both of them have created a natural chemistry that is not easy to show unless you have a good relationship behind the scenes. They were natural and while watching this drama I could not feel that they were actors carrying out written characters. I felt like the characters were written for them. Kido Gao as Du Lei is also a revelation. I didn't like Du Lei, I really hated the character and it means Gao did a great job giving life to it. The second leads though are okay for me. They added adorable scenes to the drama but that's about it.
MUSIC:
This is probably the first time I loved a Chinese Drama OST. Especially the song Bluebird. Finally, I discovered songs in a drama that would make a long lasting impression on me to the point that when I listen to the song, I will remember the drama
REWATCH VALUE:
I did. I already watched this drama 2 times. Give this a try at least even for the chemistry of the main leads and you won't be disappointed.
