This review may contain spoilers
The story is pretty weak, if your in it for watching the stars, or looking for a cuteness out of the couples its fine.
They reused the office building that was in the previous drama "Use for my Talents (2021)" which was a better drama than this.
Yi Da Qian gets more of a better role here than Love Designer, but the relationship they set him up didn't care much for.
Imo, they tried to make Jiang Yi Cheng's character style look too much like Yang Yang's, which didn't seem unique or appealing.
Bambi Zhu got to star in her own drama, in a role where she didn't act like a beotch like in Eternal love or Sweet Dreams.
The story starts off strong, but rapidly changes as Li Lu no longer is able to continue her ploy as she gets exposed. It then follows the typical drama plot where you try to get the cold hearted guy to break and fall for you, and then eventually when it happens, they have trouble maintaining that love.
Love causes you to do alot of dumb things, but Li Man's character was just too full of it, making things too obvious, especially without someone who has abit of power/money, she could get other people to do the dirty work. Her story could've been better worked out, chasing after a man who's married recently doesn't make much sense, especially if you've disappeared without a word for 3 years, after causing a workplace mess, if you think you can just "slide right in" then there are obvious problems. Also, anyone knows if you delete something from a computer server there are log in records, data backups, besides the camera they had focused on the work area so they had plot issues.
The story eventually diverges from programming as it focuses more on the main characters relationship, then jumps back near the end with Li Lu starting the tutoring program.
The ending with the issue with other company was rushed, and seemed more like they just wanted to tie loose ends with the story, which is a pacing and design issue.
The drama suffers from a lack of organization, as it has diverging stories that they all try to pay off in the end.
At many points it just felt frustrating to watch because the story wasn't vetted out, mistakes were obvious.
