A junior lawyer Tang Ying (Elvira Cai) has an issue at work, where she is forced to handle mistakes she didn’t make. One day, she met Xu Qi Zhuan (Elvis Han) on a plane by chance. Their encounter makes her think that he's arrogant and pretentious, taking him for a playboy. When their paths cross again shortly after, Xu Zi Quan realizes that he is falling for her, and so their love story follows...

For me, Tang Ying and Xu Qi Zhuan's relationship journey is the highlight of this series. It's mature, honest, witty and thoughtful. From the start, their chemistry was fireworks. Even when problems and discomforts arise, there was no frustrating misunderstandings because they talk things through and had honest conversations, learning more to love each other for who they are while being together.

Along with the romance, this workplace drama has a lot of office dynamics portraying what lies behind the façade of seemingly high-performing professionals, the lies people tell others and themselves to get through their struggles. I like the message that they try to deliver and that it drives our characters to grow personally and professionally, but I wish the office plot moved bit faster or had more hijinks. Often, I just want to see our the leads flirt together again.

Another highlight is the jazzy & city-pop OST. The music is so calming and get me in the chill mood, it made me feel that everything will be alright. Overall, thanks to the couple I had fun watching it, and it's now on my short list of memorable romcom dramas!^^
