In The Outsider, a returnee takes over a large business from his half brother, and he falls in love with a young principled businesswoman who has been struggling to start in life. The CEO has to fight enemies outside and inside the company, and the young woman also deals with people who try to use her as a pawn in their power game.
The protagonists are well suited to the story, not looking fresh out of college (although Vengo Gao as CEO Wang has a lighter role than the darker vampire one he plays in recent Snowfall, and Zhang Yuqi as Su Mo is more buxom than cute smiling baby faced) They play strong characters, engagingly.
The cast also features Kira Shi (Zeng Di in ABAY), here in a role that is less antagonistic, even friendly for a change ; and Tian Miao (funny Lu Linjia's mom in ABAY) is Su Mo's mother living in a home town away from Shanghai, where the drama is set.

Similar workplace vibes with an unforgiving, strict superior...... both dramas portray great character development and amazing acting.... both dramas are best suited for mature audiences who prefer more substance than fluff....

Similar chemistry between leads with the additional workplace vibes.... the outsider in addition also involves family dynamics whereas fake it till you make it is slice of life drama with one of the best chemistry between the leads ever seen in cdrama world....
