It's good-looking. I watched 9 episodes in one go. It's quite a satisfying and easy-to-watch sweet drama. Dong Dong En's outfits in every scene are really stylish, especially when she pairs sweaters with berets. It looks fantastic.

Character development has issues. It's 2023, and even sweet dramas need some innovation. They want you to come up with strong and effective solutions, not just rely on emotional manipulation to drive business. Oh my, when will we have some normal people in the workplace?

Xu Lu and Wei Zhe Ming, eh. This scene, this plot, it makes me feel like I'm back when Xu Lu and I were together just because we were both single. Wei Zhe Ming has been appearing quite frequently lately. Xiao Lou always acts like a fool but is actually quite capable, a refreshing male lead in a light-hearted story. And there's even a cameo by Da Wang, the comedian who has been showing up in various TV dramas this year. Wei Zhe Ming's voice is simply amazing for someone like me who is obsessed with voice actors.

Life can be quite tough, and sometimes we need to watch light-hearted and funny dramas to relax. Nowadays, I really dislike watching shows that are overly intense and emotionally draining. Watching television is meant to be a source of relaxation, enjoyment, and happiness. Additionally, it's also possible to learn about fashion and outfit coordination through certain dramas.

Although it's a CEO romance story, it's not the traditional CEO archetype. The male lead is the CEO of a spicy sauce company, while the female lead is a typical working-class individual. It has all the cliché plot elements, such as fireworks at the amusement park, the stunning dress (wedding gown) that impresses the male lead, and the male lead putting a coat on the female lead, and so on. However, there are also many unconventional elements. Despite the well-crafted atmosphere on the night of the fireworks, the confession didn't succeed. The shiny diamond ring turned out to be a gift from the mother-in-law, and the most touching confession scene happened while wearing a floral cotton-padded jacket.
Most importantly, the male lead genuinely respects the female lead and doesn't excessively interfere in her life and work, which is something that male screenwriters often struggle to portray. Moreover, many comedic moments are genuinely joyful without being vulgar or forced, leaving the audience in stitches. If there's any shortcoming, it would be the underdeveloped portrayal of the antagonist and their low-level tactics in business warfare.

The show is really just an ordinary idol drama. Although both actors are ones I like in terms of appearance, I can't really see anything commendable about the script. If it could be changed to the format of a web series with 10-minute episodes, I would give it an extra star. However, considering the popularity of the two actors, they probably wouldn't accept it.

I've finished watching the entire series, it's a 7 out of 10 sweet and enjoyable drama. You can tell the screenwriter is a surfing enthusiast, there are some clever references. The character development is solid, the male lead is outstanding and warm-hearted, while the female lead is playful and independent. They are just like a cute couple once they get together. Even the supporting characters have their own independent storylines. It's a light and entertaining series, worth binge-watching!

In my opinion, it started off strong but ended up disappointing. The initial storyline was quite appealing to me, even though it followed the cliché setting of a male protagonist being a CEO. However, both the male and female leads had well-developed characters. The male lead knew how to respect women, and the female lead had her own career and strong abilities. If everything had continued smoothly, I would have really enjoyed watching it till the end.
However, from the middle to later parts of the drama, there were many twists and turns, both in terms of the career and romantic aspects. Moreover, the character of the female lead was weakened, as if she lost some intelligence, and the spotlight shifted entirely to the male lead, which made it hard for me to accept. There were also a few supporting couples in the drama. One was around the male lead, and their relationship had a unique development, but their appearance wasn't visually appealing, so I ended up fast-forwarding those scenes. The other couple was around the female lead, and their acting felt a bit weak. In the end, it was reasonable for them to part ways due to one pursuing a career as an actor and the other having cleanliness preferences.

Without the storyline of Lillian, I could have enjoyed it more easily. At least, after watching it, I could appreciate the attractiveness of the main characters and the warm ensemble of supporting roles without being distracted. If I lower my expectations and view it as a mindless, sweet treat, I would give it four stars. However, the storyline of Lillian is just too cliché and out of place. It's excessively outdated, and it's unnecessary to add such a scheming female character in a drama that could have focused on corporate competition. Moreover, the execution of the storyline is poorly done. When something goes wrong, without any explanation, she immediately resigns and goes abroad. Why include such an outdated character development?

The plot flows smoothly, and the entire cast delivers excellent performances (except for Cao Ya's sidekick). The dialogue is hilarious, and both the male and female leads have top-notch looks and acting skills, scoring a perfect 10,000 points! I have never seen a CEO and Cinderella combo that is so unforced! To be fair, the later episodes felt a bit forced in order to drive the plot forward, so my genuine rating would be 7.5. However, as an act of retaliation, I'll give it a five-star rating!

Just so-so. I can only say that the male lead's CEO character is better than in other urban dramas. He's not dictatorial or overly seductive. He's considerate, proactive, and capable, with the ability to empathize. The character of the female lead is also decent, independent, and ambitious. The atmosphere within both teams is good, but the business competition part is a bit too dramatic.

A sweet and addictive drama, featuring a domineering CEO and a capable customer service representative! "Help me up, I'm fine again!" Wei Zhe Ming is so handsome, like a walking clothes hanger with long legs. His original lines are so cheesy, but I love them! Xu Lu looks a bit mature, which adds a cute touch, but I'm not a big fan. I really like the sweater combinations in the drama.

As for the plot, it's average, very average. It falls into the category of being watchable or skippable, where you can predict the basic progression of the next episode without much effort.

The male lead is so handsome, and his acting feels very natural. His character is truly amazing, but in real life, there are no perfect guys like that. The female lead is also adorable, and her fashion sense is really good. I was particularly drawn to her earrings. She's so thin, and the second male lead is also handsome. I really want to see him play a crazy character. The supporting characters are really good too. They are united and feel like a family. The boss doesn't have an attitude, and the colleagues are all good friends. They solve difficulties together. It's so nice. I hope I can also find a company like that. I really like Manager Wang. I love guys with that kind of personality. They may be narcissistic, but they also know how to respect women. And Cao Ya, she's so beautiful and stylish.
The most frustrating thing is that they didn't bring Li Li An to justice in the end, letting her escape punishment.

It's adorable! Xu Lu should take on more of these types of dramas, it has great chemistry with Wei Zhe Ming.
Wei Zhe Ming has a refreshing presence. I've only seen him play supporting roles before, but I didn't expect his voice to be so pleasant and gentle.
It's particularly comforting. Although the storyline is average, overall it feels down-to-earth.

The qualified sweet drama! Wei Zhe Ming is a pro at playing domineering CEOs, haha. But I really love watching him play the domineering CEO. His portrayal is not aloof, but rather humorous and down-to-earth. Almost every drama he's in follows this pattern.
The stories of the female lead's company colleagues are also well portrayed and quite touching. The classic "Cinderella and Prince Charming" trope with the second male lead and second female lead.
In short, these dramas are easy to digest. In reality, it's necessary for the CEO and Cinderella to be well-matched. The probability of a CEO and Cinderella being together is quite low. The probability of having such a wonderful mother-in-law is even lower.
