I watched episodes 1-12 and then 30-38, which is the final episode. I'm satisfied and do not plan to go back and watch the 17 episodes I skipped.

I felt compelled to skip ahead because I felt ambivalent towards the main characters and wasn't sold on their relationship/chemistry. Fan Shu Chen felt a little too self-righteous, and Lin Zi Yu felt a little too pitiful/sad. I'm not saying that Lin Zi Yu was a pushover - she definitely stood up for herself and others! Of what I saw, I didn't feel there was *unnecessary or ridiculous* drama, conflicts, or misunderstandings. (But it could have happened in the 17 episodes I skipped.)

The other reasons I skipped the middle portion involve the rivalry between the two public relations firms that is one of the central storylines, as well as a villainous character whose storyline I wish had gone in a different direction. There were some plot developments that felt clunky or contrived.

That being said, I really liked the friendship between the male lead and his three best friends. They each had storylines relating to their careers and relationships, and were genuinely loyal and supportive of each other. I would consider going back and skimming through the episodes for the storylines of the two female friends.
