typical, but entertaining
I watched this drama because I came across Mango's channel after watching another drama, and thought that I had nothing better to do during this quarantine anyway.
The story was typical, honestly. It's totally not something I've seen done over and over again. I think the story was great, but not very memorable, since I could easily mistake it for the many other dramas that I've watched with the same plot. The only thing that I haven't seen done ten thousand times, was the previous relationship that the ML couldn't remember. I'm not saying this is revolutionary, but it's probably the only thing about this drama that wasn't basic. But since I enjoy these types of plots, I didn't give it much thought.
I think the chemistry was okay, as good as a stone cold CEO and vibrant, perfect secretary can get. I thought the ML was a little stiff, but I could just push that under the rug, and convince myself that it's the cold CEO persona he was trying to push. The FL impressed me. She acted very well, and I would say she's one of the more convincing actresses. Doesn't cry very artificially, which I see is a trend with many Chinese actresses.
Onto music. I HATED IT. Not only did the BG music completely ruin scenes at times, there are occasions where I would be holding onto my headphones, trying to hear over the music, like that would even help. They also used popular meme music as BG music during humorous scenes, and I've never seen any other drama do that before. The soundtrack was EHHHHH, nothing memorable.
Whether I would rewatch it? No. I could just watch any other office drama, and still get the same result. The drama isn't that deep, and doesn't hold much emotional value to me. But if you're just watching as a beginner, I can definitely see you picking it up for the second time.
Overall, this wasn't my favorite drama of all time, but I definitely don't think I wasted my time watching it. This brightened up my quarantine, and gave me a few laughs and pushed me to the brink of tears at times too. If you're bored, I 100% recommend :)
