This started off good...
This drama series started off pretty good. Liked that the main leads did not fall all over each other right away. However, Jiang Jun (JJ) shows such disrespect for Yuan Shuai (YS) when she contacts Du to help YS's cousin knowing that the two share a dislike for each other. She later accepts a watch from him as her so-called gift for her promotion. Promotion gifts are given by the company and not individual boss and he brought such a personal gift on his trip for her. She does become arrogant not to see it isn't that YS wants her to quit her job for quitting sake, but because Du is overloading her with work and is undermining her. YS being given the dialogue in the ending of the series that he pressured her a little to quit was such a turn off.
The second lead was super annoying from beginning to end, no exception. Xu Li need some self respect written in her character. Loving someone and them not loving you back is definitely not the best feeling, but one should have self respect.
Although there is chemistry between the main leads, the scene of Du forcing himself on JJ being played down was the biggest turnoff and downer of this show.
He first pulled her into his hug tightly, which she clearly said no many times and struggle to break free. Then he tried kissing her, which she said no and still continue to break free. The fact that unwanted sexual advancements were made, it is was sexual harassment. And it should not have been played down like nothing happened, it should have been addressed. It was quite disgusting the way this track was handled.
At least five to six episodes were wasted, they could have ended the series at episode 30.
I low marked the story of the series and actors because to the mishandling of the sexual harassment scene.
I low marked the music because it played in, inappropriate places of the show.
