Excellent Office drama with good pace and twists... only one miss... No passion!
It was refreshing to see a CFO of the correct age in this story.... Real CFO's are never 20 something... and Real business is conducted like this.. with ups and downs, investigations and constant work/ adapt and move to the next idea.
This is what I liked about this story.... it was real... even the gossip between employees was real.. it happens like this.
Gao Wei Guang (Wang Ju An (CFO)) is very good. As CFO, he is hard, calculating but fair. As a man being in love for first time, he is simply... adorable. Having said this... it is hard not to compare him with his role as emperor in Eternal Love. I missed his long white hair look... probably this will haunt him for the rest of his career.
While he is impeccable actor... I failed to see love emotions in him.
At a certain point, when problems arises, he is away from his loved one... Sorry but if you are in love of someone, and that person leaves you, I want to see you devastated, crying, angry, etc.... Yes he had a bit of that.. but I was not convinced.
Zhang Yu Qi (Su Mo) is OK. I liked how she portraits a working, intelligent woman, with real emotions and passion for her work. But 0 passion for Ju'An. I mean.. even if you are in your late 20's.. or 30's., or 40's.. love is real, exciting, groundbreaking. She was very leveled.... no passion there.
I mean... Love story really starts after episode 20.. there you see an emotional development very real. I liked that.. It was not like "we get together.. THE END"... the writers let us get into their day to day world. It was nice and refreshing.
HOWEVER, I mean.... 38 episodes and I only saw 1 kiss. Seriously?
The supplement stories around them were also interesting and added to the whole story. I loved all of them. And some of them were more courageous under their circumstances. This is a nice plus.
So, overall...I think this is a benchmark on how office love dramas should look like. Real, with a hint of goofiness' and yes, misunderstandings and issues came up but were sorted out relatively quickly and successfully.
BUT, you can not have 2 "mature" individuals falling in love with a deep connection in a platonic way, without any chemistry.
That is the big miss here.... No butterflies in the stomach between main leads.
