Good looking actors/actresses, but bad acting... Looks unnatural & forced interaction among the characters — main & supporting roles.
Bad director, bad script, and unbelievable (working/office) female outfits.
Overall, watch only when you're in total boredom.

I believe the novel itself wouldn't be bad... In fact, it might be a good one; too bad I can't find the English translation.

My review here might be biased... I watch too many Hollywood movies & series, and only this past 6 months started with Cdrama. The comparison is too huge!! I find too many illogical things and behavior watching this series. I dunno whether this was a normal culture & habit in China, however, I can honestly say, so far, this is the first series that really gives me a headache with such so many senseless characters.
