Exciting plot and script, but some small flaws
jhglondon-5367228 February 2024
Warning: Spoilers
A very believable toxic work environment and exciting script, well-rounded characters even for smaller roles. Good acting all around. Most characters have flaws as well as points that make you sympathize with them.

My only criticism is that it shows -- two times -- that women utilize "me too" but in fact they are not real victims but schemers!! I hope viewers know that 99% of the time, people who say they are harassed or raped are telling the truth, and not schemers as depicted by this show. Despite the number of women in the lead, it still feels like it's showing the male gaze and direction.

TVB show of the decade?
ijchhoa20 January 2024
Probably the highest quality show TVB has put out in a while. Episodes and scripts that are full of events and setups that pay off wonderfully, a truly toxic work environment made so in part, and yet not wholly the fault of the powerful yet flawed key players. Everyone has their moment of glory, moments of good and moments of evil. Nobody is really ever incompetent which is a rarity for TVB, so it's incredibly satisfying to see everyone jostle and vie for their best interests in the best ways available to them. The acting is top notch, the show brings a balance of seriousness and self awareness that really adds to how compelling the drama is, and the romance subplots are always only ever subplots in service of its core drama. The writers have done an amazing job with this one.
