Super love
Dylan & Bailu good chemistry & all supporting cast & the story prefect.
Zheng Shu Yi is a hard-working reporter for one of China’s leading financial newspapers. She’s determined to land a front-page story, so she is pulling out all the stops to land an interview with one of the most talked-about young CEOs in the land – Shi Yan. For his part, the businessman is looking to make a series of investments in promising startup firms as a way of giving back to the community. A mixup occurs between the two, and their paths cross again. But as they (inadvertently) get to know one another, they start to realize their destinies may be intertwined. Shi Yan discovers that Zheng Shu Yi’s extensive reporting career means very few people know more about local startups. He agrees to let her write a series of stories about his company, causing them to meet again and again. But could this blossoming working relationship also lead them on the path to love?

It was good to me.
Really good. I liked all the characters and especially shipped the main couple. I really didn't like the professor and the intern getting together. Their relationship was sorta cringy. Not because of the age gap but because she was so invested that she came off as a stalker at times. I feel like he just gave in because she wore him down. Another thing was I didn't think they should have done that to the ex-boyfriend. I understand he cheated because he thought the other girl would be able to help him more but he saw before long that he wasn't happy with the other girl. They could have just left him to wallow in his grief.I was also liking that the main couple wasn't falling into tropey plots until the break up and I thought that one was a real force at that time. Especially when he blocked her but got mad when she deleted his contact.

Dylan Wang definitely fits the Overbearing CEO characters!
This story is quite nice to watch. It is even better watching Dylan Wang play, again, an overbearing CEO. I think that he really fits this type of character role. Overall, I find this story / series not bad. An overbearing CEO and a witty, funny and intelligent reporter. Technically, the story revolves around 4 couples, but the series mainly highlights on the main couple, Dylan Wang and Bai Lu. From the first accidental meeting to how they fell in love, have their misunderstandings and eventually the happy ending (which you need to watch the special episode for). Amazingly, they did this for the main 3 couples of this series. Would have been awesome if they included more about the 4th elderly couple. However, both the male and female lead did a remarkable job in bringing their characters to life. Bai Lu, with her wittiness and humor is indeed very refreshing and fun to watch, while Dylan Wang with the expressionless Overbearing CEO attitude is also a very interesting character. I would say that the entire casts for this series really did a good job in breathing life into their characters and bringing this series to life.The soundtrack for this series is awesome. It is one of those rare series that has so many songs, 11 in total, that is so nice and amazing to listen to. A great job in pairing the songs to this series.
Re-watch value, well, I would say depend on how you like the series after watching it for the first time. I did watch it the 2nd time, to catch glances on scenes that I might have missed out while binging for the first time.

At the end of the 36th episode, the segment suggests an ending for all three couples in the drama and not completely ending the drama. I suggest watching the special episode to see the true ending.

I made it , I finished!
just watched Love between fairy and devil, and I love Dylan’s acting. He is very talented in this drama. Then I thought maybe I can watched another Dyland’s drama and started this one.OMG its worst. Dylan’s acting is still good and Bai’s acting is also good (its first drama for me, I just started watching Chinese dramas nowadays. I m the new one dont blame me please?) but FL is the worst 。 how writers can write this character. she said I am the professional but she knows she is beautiful and uses it. She smiles and acts cute. she always says awkward words and she gets angry herself, but then she continues these words.
They never talk about their relation, what they likes why tjey like each other.Fal act cute and ML works a lot. They met his office and just worked. Not talked , they acted If you talk to me I will get a annoying.
When she break up Shi Yan, she started to meet Yi Yan for business. She never said to him I like but she also doesn't act like she get a feel bad fir his actions. she likes get in the attention. Writers what did you think about that??
Also we watched her ex boyfriend too much. Why?
her friend just focus her entertainment and doesn’t care FL’s emotions at all. bad advice , worst friendship and she doesn’t tell her life to FL . one side friendship because she has a lot time for fun.
I like 3.FL character. She is pure . She tried to cath her love and tried to help her uncle’s love. We watch her personel development and getting older process. She find what she wants to do it her life.

A lil fun but frustrating watch but great cast!
The story is a bit cliché except the fact that for the first time I felt bad for the male lead and not the FL which was unique in a way since we're talking about a domineering CEO char here. I like the characterization of the ML he is very human like. Realistic. As for the female lead..... Well if it wasn't Bailu acting I'd really have hated her so much. I see her as a self centered and a selfish character. The thing is I would have let it go if she made sense sometimes but welp it is questionable how she is an actual journalist who are very much trained on reading the atmosphere and leading conversation?I would have let it go if like it's because she was nervous but still there were moments even a normal person would know what not to say and what to avoid.... Besides the ML and FL the support chars were a lil chaotic especially the bestie. I love Peiyao but this gotta be her worst character so far and no it's not about the advices she gave it's the lack of story behind the character that made it cringey to watch. I'm guessing a lot of the back story was cut due to editing but the scrap they left truly was so bad. The couple were so badly done. The second supporting couple were better but also questionable in a way like how he suddenly chifted his affection to the lil neice all of a sudden just because of her disappearing on him.... Like he's supposed to be the oldest in the mls so I was expecting a more mature relationship with him tho I'm glad that he didn't cling to the FL and become a rival. Anyways there was a lot of loopholes in the story also professional wise it was boring and uninteresting maybe cuz i watched many heavily focused dramas on work that this felt very poorly done. I have to also add that scenes couldve been done better as in quality wise? I dunno how explain it but the quality wasn't top notch. When I saw the cast I thought the drama would definitely be high quality I had a lot of expectations and while it was fine to watch it was still a little disappointing plus the many ads added I just knew it was prolly treated like those idol dramas made to get money rather than anything else. I feel like they might have rushed it's production as well.... I just feel bad for the cast cuz all of them are such amazing actors I've known from previous works they deserved better!Was this review helpful to you?
Over hyped and wasted opportunity
I was so eager to watch this drama mainly for the actors, even though its a typical CEO cliche storyline with cold, arrogant ceo and cheerful, clumsy yet kind Female lead. But alas!!! It was utterly disappointing.Just as one of the reviewers pointed out there is innumerable investments talks and other finance related topics which totally wastes a lot of screen time.
Although i am a fan of Bai Lu and she has a lot of cute, innocent yet witty jabs and expressions, the character portrayed is totally dumb. Despite being a pro at her work, forget love life, she's even clueless about basic affection . She keeps following advice from her friend who has a messy life herself. She can go to any lengths for her work including relentless, awkward flirting but when its time to be honest and apologize, she shuts herself out.
In contrast, the stone faced male lead played by Dylan Wang has an arrogant yet good , forgiving character. I would still prefer watching him in historical series.
The only saving grace are these two actors and their chemistry especially in the later part of the series. I conveniently skipped a lotttt of scenes just to only watch their interaction.
All in all, its simply ok for one time watch with lots of fast forwards....

Very Odd Show
I was excited about this show because I am a fan of Bai Lu, Wang He Di, and Wei Zhe Ming but this show was very odd and disappointing. The overall story was all over the place and I don't think the best actors in the world could save this script.I felt like most of the casting was out of place. They didn't seem to fit the roles or the characters were just poorly written. There were many instances in the show where the characters just didn't lack consistency with the type of character they were portrayed as and thus their dialogue, choices and actions didn't make logical sense. As an example, Bai Lu's character is this very smart, highly intutive, highly praised woman who is a top Financial Journalist, though she didn't seem to read situations very well. I guess they had to make her character very romantically awkward for the sake of the typical domineering CEO C-Drama trope.
Production wise, this show wasn't the best. Nothing to write home about with the visuals, music, lighting, or costumes. Pretty basic, definitely not a high budget but that doesn't always make or break a show.
For me, this show didn't have a clear direction on the plot and seems like a bunch of random things were just happening to the point where there wasn't any clear character building, growth, story growth, etc. I was at a point of just watching it to watch them because I'm a fan.
I would not rewatch this show nor recommend it to others. If you are fan of the main cast, check it out at your own discretion.

It okay thats love
I've been anticipating this drama since the announcement of its release. However, after watching the first episode, I found it cringe and decided to hold off until all the episodes are available. Despite reading mixed reviews, I'm contemplating whether to watch it, especially considering the talented cast. Some comments on MDL suggested that episodes 30 and beyond are better, so I skipped episodes 1-31 and went straight to episode 32, but its so cringe. I'm having existential crisis whether to continue or not.The script... I couldn't believe the dialogue coming from Bailu and Dylan's mouth. However, having just finished SOKP and being impressed by Bai Lu's performance there, and being a fan of Dylan Wang from TLBFD, I thought I might as well continue watching since I have some spare time. After a few more episodes, I think I'm starting to understand Shuyi's character. It's indeed a complex character. As the saying goes, love can lead to foolish decisions. Even a great journalist can make poor choices in love. But that's part of being human. Love can make us vulnerable, and in this case, perhaps a bit like a drama queen. Although, I find Shiyan's character a little unrealistic in this story.
Since I've only watched selected episodes, I don't think I'm qualified to give a comprehensive review. However, for those wondering whether to watch this drama, my advice is to approach it with an open heart and mind. Acknowledge its flaws, and you might find some enjoyment. For drama enthusiasts, a good drama is a gem, and even a less impressive one can still offer some entertainment.
