A must watch drama

I'll admit, at first I only watched for the male lead. He was in "Love is Sweet" and "Ashes of Love" (which are both great dramas, btw) so I only watched this one for him at first. However, one episode in and I was hooked because of quite a few things:
1. The female lead was strong and smart, not so dependent
2. The chemistry was top notch between the two leads
3. The plot was definitely going to be interesting from how the first episode went
4. Luo yunxi with glasses heh
So, one episode in, and I don't have to worry much about no chemistry, a whiny and dumb female lead, and the story seemed to be very promising.
Now, that was only the first episode.
Having finishing the whole series, I can tell you that the story will not be letting you down. "Lie to Love" mastered having romance intertwined with business affairs. Personally, I think the business scenes and lovey dovey scenes were quite balanced, and this made it quite believable, as some CEOs in dramas seem to have no work at all. Overall it wasn't too cliche, (for example an evil mother in law, or how the male lead miraculously appears to save the day every single time the female lead is in trouble) and it does give you quite a few sweet scenes (that make you feel very single).
The flashbacks and added events in the story made the watcher hang on and sometimes sit at the edge of their seats. With each episode, the plot became a little more complex and made you dive even deeper into the story. What can I say? I was hooked every second and didn't skip one scene (even the parts with the second female and male leads) which makes this drama the first one to achieves this feat.
Ah, one last thing, the female and male lead both very much understand each other. No silly misunderstandings (for the most part) that last like half the drama (the times there are rather silly misunderstandings is cleared quickly)
Anyways, if you are looking for a light and sweet romance drama, this is not for you. However, if you prefer a strong and smart female lead and a very interesting love and business drama, go for it.
So, if you've made it to the end, what are you doing? Go watch!
