Your ideal romantic partner is often the person you see every day . . .

This romance is very similar in basic plot to Love 020 and Le Coup de Foudre.

I liked this more because of the endearing relationship between the two leads Xia Ke and Xing Yun. While in the beginning Xia Ke takes Xing Yun for granted , he is never unnecessarily cruel or mean. Xia Ke is quick to want to clear up misunderstandings. There is a lot of respect flowing between the two of them, and they have really good natural chemistry (and good kissing scenes - though it takes forever to get there!).

The side romance/side characters are charismatic with good personalities.

The plot is thin and could have been edited down to 20 episodes. I almost dropped this around Episode 12 because the typical 'switch' (when the arrogant male character panics/goes into crisis/humbles himself) was taking too long.

Complex Themes - 6
Not complex, but I liked the emphasis on trust, respect and sharing burdens. Really good modelling on healthy relationships. I liked the growing respect for typically gendered 'feminine' skills in the work place e.g. organizing, morale boosting, loyalty, team-work.
Character Growth - 6
Xing Yun grows to know her own worth, but it is Xia Ke who does the fundamental transformation to being more trusting and open. Neither do a huge dramatic transformation, but they do have a lasting change.
Nuanced Women -7.5
Xing Yun is your typical bubbly, girlish naive female lead. BUT she does have a lot of inner strength by the end, and does out-smart other characters. I liked the strong female friendships displayed - and there was a lot of female screen time.
Cinematography/Production Values - 7.5
There was a lot of name branded/luxury goods to help with the realism of wealthy characters. The sets were appropriate. There are no 'cinematic' moments - it was shot as a basic drama.
