I acknowledged beforehand ,the drama might not be good enough as its the fl's 1st costume drama. but to my utter surprise,i loved it much more than i thought. the drama somehow reflects the background story of many great entrepreneurs who started from the scratch. HUAZHI is smart,intellegent,untamed yet calm and modest.I loved the way she dealt with people, earned their trust and support which is a must quality for every businessman(well woman here).
it shows the significance of people from any class, no matter how inferior they are by rank ,they can contribute a lot. huazhi has a calculative brain,she got wits but without fudong, nothing could have been done. Here also huazhi depicts as an ideal employer.
The drama has no unnecessary misunderstanding between the leads, showed a refreshing healthy mature relationship.
Many questioned the chemistry, they did have good chem,might be not worthy shipping hard but definitely wasnt an absolute mismatch.
The villains didnt have excessive screentime or none was inhumanly brutal to loathe. indeed they were vicious but their consequences were extremely satisfying and deserving. It is not a perfectly perfect drama ofc, it had a few plot holes but easily ignorable because the story pacing was well organized and the storyline itself was highly engaging.the fighting scenes were literally treat to the eyes,just superb, appreciate the ml for his efforts.
Must mention to the fl ,the 2nd fl ,the ones who played maids and each every cast who did exceptionally well portraying their respective roles..overall it was an enjoyable watch !
