Reviews
Romcom Investigation Mini Drama done right.
The story : After a drunken misunderstanding XiLing and ZhaoHe keep crossing paths, as she is accused of colluding with her fiancé to embezzle the company's money.This drama is a beautiful surprise. I started watching it with no expectations. And I was seduced by the comedy, the fast pacing of the story and the good chemistry of the leads. The money talks are not boring and the romance is heartfluttering. Some beautiful kisses as well. It kept me interested. So I recomment it. It reminds me of the story of Michelle & Barack Obama who was her trainee when she met him. ( Minus the age gap ).
Pro :
- Strong and sassy Female Lead.
- Strong and commited Male lead.
- Good pacing.
- Good comedic scenes.
- Very realistic.
Con :
- One dimensional villain.
- The fighting scenes could have been better executed but I forgive them, because it is a mini drama with low budget. They did their best with what they had.
- The second couple could have been portrayed more in my opinion ( SML), but I understand that the emphasis was on the first couple and I liked it.
Overall:
I liked this drama and I recommend it if you like lighthearted romcom.

Not bad at all
I quite enjoyed this mini series. This one was done decently with a pretty complete, more detailed story than the usual mini dramas.The Good
The plot was decent here and kept me engaged throughout the show. I appreciated that the love triangles were kept to a minimum and our main couple was the focus throughout. No real evil love rivals and annoying childish characters. It was a more mature romance as they recognized and acted on their feelings pretty early on. Definitely lighter on the tropes but a couple were thrown in (not the annoying fall into a kiss ones). The acting was also good here especially from our main leads. This almost felt like I was watching a fuller length drama. The production was standard for a modern drama but it had a nice OST. Oh and this has lots of romance and kisses. A very green flag couple.
The Bad
Wished some of the characters could have been fleshed out more but with this being a mini series, they were limited on time to do that. Also, it’s not a new story as it’s an older woman/younger man trope. Some may not like it. It also had the bad parents tropes which sometimes gets tiring.
