OMG! I am enchanted by this series. I am watching from the beginning for the fourth consectutive time!
The actors are outstanding; their facial expressions demeanor, and chemistry are award worthy. Feng Teng and Xue Shanshan are so believable. I love watching them together. Although, Linshu is my least favorite character, the actress did a noteworthy portrayal of her.
I enjoyed watching Shanshan's development throughout each episode; she was so fun and likeable. The "Boss" was so rigid and straight forward, but he could not resist Shanshan's "easy going" personality and charm. Appears like he became interested in her from the very beginning, but he is the top person in this company, and she is a newly-hired finance assistant. Feng Teng becomes attracted to Shanshan because of her innocent nature. (He described her as "appetizing.")
SPOILERS: Shanshan is a blood donor for Feng Teng's sister because they both have a rare bood type. He meets her at the hospital, but he becomes intrigued by her while interacting with her at his company. They cross paths a lot!
Feng Yue sends "blood building" lunch boxes to Shanshan, causing lots if gossip and curiousity about Shanshan's connection to the three higher-level people in the Wind Group. Because of the gossip Shanshan starts eating lunch on the "Boss's" balcony. Meanwhile, Feng Teng is observing her at lunch, and he starts to look forward to seeing her. Shanshan has a crush on Handsome Qi, R&D Director in the company, so she is dreaming about what life would be if he liked her, not knowing the Boss is watching her.
Lunch boxes and gossip keep flowing. Teng Feng ups his game by having Shanshan eat lunches in his office, under the guise of her picking carrots from his food. They start talking and eating together every day. The Boss is making every opportunity to spend time with Shanshan. Teng Feng is falling in love with Shanshan, but he knows this is a concern. Before he confesses his feelings, Linshu, a childhood friend who is in love with Feng Teng, shows up. Linshu sees Feng Teng has feelings for Shanshan, and she is determined to make Feng Teng aware Shanshan is not right for him.
The Show continues with numerous incidents wherein Shanshan is involved in awkward and troublesome situations.
----- The writers are phenomenal! My interest stayed piqued throughout each episode.
----- CONS: Although I love this series, I didn't like the items below:
"England" atmosphere felt fake. The hotel people spoke with a foreign English accent; not British. The people working in the hotel and on the streets appeared Scandinavian; blond hair, blue eyes, gangly. Most importantly, the use of two brown-skinned males to be the vagrant attackers was offensive.
"Open" office and party gossip was overused. A large company would not tolerate this type bullying.
----- Overall, this Show is now my #1 Cdrama. Well worth watching (and rewatching, in my case).
