If you are expecting plot twists and turns, it is not going to happen. I'm two thirds through and everything is on schedule. Absolutely nothing new. But this show is very good and worth the watch. The writing is sharp and well carried out to a very predictable script. The actors and their chemistry, along with good writing make a mediocre 5 show a 9. I have become fully invested in the characters. I'm eagerly watching for the pretty predictable conclusion. I'm also eagerly awaiting the comeuppance of the bad guys. I've seen hundreds of this type of bad guy, self serving, greedy and very shallow-not evil. The look at the industry of publishing is interesting. The relationship of editors to authors is fundamental. I suspect it is more true in concept than fact, but the basic relationship between editor and author and the publisher are shown. This is a fun show to watch. It is light hearted and funny on serious dynamics of a cut throat industry. You will not be disappointed. Enjoy.

Couldn't finish due to the FL

Warning: Spoilers
I tried hard to keep watching, since I don't like to leave something in the middle, I sincerely tried to keep watching, but Esther Yu's acting made it really hard for me to continue. There was nothing wrong with the story, and even though the male lead was expressionless mostly, it was Esther Yu who was the deal breaker for me. I didn't understand how and why does a person like an editor in a publishing house need to behave like a five year old! She would be perfectly good in one moment, then act childish the next. It might be that the Chinese audiences prefer to see the female actors act all cute and childish, nothing wrong with that, but personally for me to like a drama, the FL has to be strong, independent, and confident!
This was one of the few series that I left after watching a few episodes.
