9/10
A workplace drama most worthy of being translated into English
1 October 2021
I carefully rate each episode, and many episodes make me score 9 points with excitement. The reason is that this is the closest to reality in China's workplace. Its truth even makes me nervous, because every role seems to be alive in real life, or other people I have heard of. There are several conversations between the boss and the subordinates that I experienced personally. Thanks to the screenwriters for their efforts to restore the reality of Chinese workplace to the greatest extent (without distortion or beautification).

If audiences in English-speaking countries want to understand the current world of work of Chinese people, this series should be the best choice.

In this TV series, you can see the struggle for rights and interests between Chinese people, the rules of white-collar survival, the mutual use of employees and executives, the pressure of survival in first-tier cities, the over-caring of parents and relatives for unmarried people, and the problems of native families, two different paths for women to seek development, the bureaucratic style of state-owned enterprises and the dictatorship of the chairman of the board, and so on. Perhaps the imperfect thing is the ideal city.
