ok watch as a filler

Had this drama on hold because I was waiting for it to be completed subbed. I saw that it was finally completed and decided to finish it. I want to put it out there that I judge dramas pretty leniently compared to other reviewers . I'm that person that knows they're watching a show that's pretty bad but will still try and finish it (unless its just plain terrible lol).

TBH really started watching this drama because of Vin Zhang. I do agree with most of the issues that other reviewers mentioned. So without further ado here are somethings I liked and what I didn't like about the drama.

Lets start with the good :)

1. I did somewhat like main leads relationship-(Xu Cheng Yi and Xia Yan)they had a few cute moments. Some people may think him hanging on to a random girls bracelet for 3 years is stalkerish, but hey its the world of c-drama. I think its the pretty much norm lol it wouldn't be a drama if it didn't have something like this so I didn't mind it too much

2. Contrary to popular belief, I actually liked Han Shuang's character. I liked that she's fiesty and is always ready to defend her friends. She's absolutely dramatic but she also speaks her mind. She's literally said some of the more realistic/common sense things in this drama-ex. when Zhao Xiao Lei was debating about dating the older man because she didn't want to break up their "happy family"- Han Shuang reminded her that he was already divorced.

3. I do like that the girls are always there for each other even after fights and what not. --this is also a catch 22 because their friendship is also in my not so good list lol.

4. I also kind of liked Yan Chang Jun's character mostly for the simple fact he was the smartest one out of all the leads. He also mostly had all the answers . He would've sort of fit the typical main lead CEO that I described below, but the drama didn't really give his character enough depth. Again I get what the writer was trying to get across- he is supposed to be the old competitive friend that seems hostile but actually will defend and protect his "brother". The execution of it just fell flat. They could've done so much more with him. I would've even accepted him as a SML.


So on to the not so good

1. I truly did not really care too much for Vin Zhang's character. Usually the CEO in dramas are usually unrealistically smarter and more calculating than most of the characters in the drama. In this case, he was lowkey powerless, had no back up plan -like when he was framed and had to take extended leave. Usually the CEO at this point already had a back up or working on one (lets reference Sweet Love for the type of CEO I was expecting him to be). Also he never even suspected his ex-girl friend at all--like.. AT ALL? thats just unrealistic. His character here low key reminded me of his character in Flame's daughter. (also the same thing can also be said about the character of Xia Yan. She wasn't super clever or anything like the qualities of the mfl)

2. The part where they cornered the ex-girlfriend to expose her. This is supposed to be the climax of the show where the main leads put together everything she did and explain/prove why she was the culprit. but this part was done so badly in my opinion . The dialogue lasted what seemed like 20mins of pure going back and forth with her and multiple people coming in with new information or "proof" but she had a come back for all of it. and then on top of that Vin Zhang's character still didn't believe she did it until he saw the papers? no satisfaction at all. Usually I like this part in dramas because it shows the cleverness of the main leads on outing the culprit but this scene was not it.

3. The girls friendship is great at some points and other points just a no. Especially with Zhao Xiao Lei-who was clearly getting abused physically, but in the end they still left her with Lin Hao... after all that yelling they could've forced her to leave but no they just left? smh. also when Han Shuang believed that Xia Yan exposed that video during her wedding? for all her protectiveness she's shown in the show she should've known better.

4. all the other randomness that other reviewers mentioned-like Xiang Nan may having breast cancer in like episode 30 and Huo Kai randomly appearing at the end. Xue Ning randomly coming back just to help and leave? like there was no real point in my opinion in having her come back unless she was going back to the company as a director again.


All in all, even with all the faults it was an ok watch if you have nothing else to watch. Also I get what this drama was trying to do. Having the different type of girlfriends- the wild, crazy but fiercely protective friend, the sweet, naive friend, the successful office friend, and the mature not willing to take risks friend. i just don't think they did the character development right as well as issues with the storyline for each character and overall. If done correctly this drama would've been so much better. So I gave this a 6 mainly because of Vin Zhang lol, a few cute/funny moments, and what the director was trying to portray story wise.
