Solid show
misswritercreates7 March 2019
Great storyline, kept its hold throughout the entire show. The actors did a great job. The show was a little outdated if you're watching it now, but still enjoyable to watch. Loved the chemistry between our main couple. The villain was entertaining as well and of course people are redeemable! The ending made it all worth it! I got a little tired of the drama by our villain and then exhausted about the villain by the end. But just bare through it because it'll be worth it. The show is a little long but it's good nevertheless.

Highly entertaining... redemptive undergirded by solid values. Underrated.

Compliments to scriptwriter, production crew and the entire cast of stars for bringing the serious and slapstick together into an entertaining series that showcases the many and varied general challenges faced by young office girls, contrasts the choices they make with a dash of "Tollywood" for good measure. Great portrayal of office politics, rivalry in love and career, family responsibilities amid imperfection... cast with a good balance of lightheartedness and seriousness. Showcases the fallennsss of human nature with a redemptive note in the end. Champions good values that should be applauded.

A general rating - I would not hesitate to watch this with my teenage children for exposure.

Applause to a great cast.

I loved this series!

I was originally searching for The Office when I stumbled upon this hidden gem. A diamond in the rough, if you will.

I've never made it through an entire subtitled episodic before this delightful show, and I'm watching it for the second time through now! Love this cute show! Also the lead who plays Jason is HOT & the actor who plays the fashion mogul is yummy too!! The girls are all beautiful too. Lots of eye candy for everyone! The manager is hilarious. There's drama, romance & plenty of heartfelt moments that will leave you wanting more weeks after you finish it. Highly recommend!!!

Bit cheesy and way too long
Glue2Screen19 May 2021
That was bit of a drag. I'm surprised I made it through...though I did myself hitting the fast forward button a lot.

I watched this mainly it came as a recommendation as I really like Ko Chia-yen as an actress. Her performance in show isn't anything out of the ordinary as her character, Shen Xing Ren, isn't overly complicated, but I feel that's mainly on the writers. The main character was a bit bland and didn't really pull at the heartstrings much. A lot of Shen Xing Ren's lovable personality traits weren't expressed but rather was said out loud by the love interest, Qin Zi Qi. I find that bit dull as writers should be creating scenarios for audience to witness the character's traits, not relying on other characters summarize for you.

The antagonist kept it interesting towards the beginning as things unfolded but it didn't take long for the boredom to kick in. They are consistent is using her background music whenever she shows up on screen. Some of the side characters are quite funny while others are so overdramatic that it becomes a cringe-fest.

Sound, I wouldn't be surprised, is not a priority in this show. Sometimes I could barely hear the talking as the echo from the location is so loud or the background music is so prominent it drowns out what is said. Not that it really matters to story if you miss some dialogue.

Overall, if you enjoy comedy soap-operas--this maybe your cup of tea. It wasn't mine.
