Hidden Gem!!

So i'm about 3 years late to this drama BUT hopefully this review can be helpful to anyone who's looking for a feel good drama. It has its shortcomings but the main couple and the chemistry and support between them isn't it. It's definitely a lot better than what I was expecting. To be honest going off the synopsis I excepted to drop it pretty early, much less finish all 44 episodes!
Anyways the story consists of our FL Yang Zhen Zhen who loves music but she isn't the best at it, and in this cut-throat industry she doesn't make the cut. However she wants to get a job that relates to music and she ends up landing a job at Star ent. where our ML Zheng Boxu is a pop star. He's a very under appreciated singer and many people think he's only famous because of his rich dad. He wants to gain creative freedom with his songs however many people still doubt him. Anyways through a series of events our FL becomes the assistant of our ML and honestly I HATEEE the boss/assistant troupe but this show does it SO WELL!! mainly because our FL isn't a doormat (she speaks up to anyone the CEO the directors our ML his rich dad ) and she takes charge of our ML in such a comedic way and as the show progresses the both of our leads grow both personally and with their careers. The FL gets promoted as a manager and the ML gains the respect of the company. Also the FL accompanies the ML through all of his tough times (there's a lot). You really see the relationship grow from strangers to friends to lovers. It's very realistic and I especially LOVE how the "star" has to prove himself to the girl. Their is a love triangle but its done so in a non-annoying way, and the 2ML has his own storyline which was interesting.
The acting was really good. The styling got better as the show progressed. You really see the FLs style evolve as she's promoted to manager. The ML has some questionable outfits, but its fine. Also his makeup really grows on you. At first I was thinking how it was too much but its a grower I promise!! The acting is great on both sides. I feel like our ML really found his element in this drama since he's an idol (Ex-EXO member) in real life. So I bet he really enjoyed his role and he's really good with it. Janice Wu is an absolute delight I've seen her in LCDF and this role fits her so much better but that's for another day. Anyways she really embodies a confident funny girl and I loved seeing her evolution and it was acted out well. The chemistry between them is very natural and i loved how its a slow slow burn because it's most realistic.
The OSTs are all great. It doesn't hurt to have an actual idol sing and produce all the songs ;) "ILL BE UR BEGGAR AND FOOL" FUCK IT UPPP. I loved them all!
So why isn't this a 10/10 well it's very long. The main couple made it all worth it, but if the main couple weren't that strong I would've dropped this much sooner. The business parts were very boring after the first couple of episodes. And they fill most of the episodes with that when the actual main couple gets about 40% of screen time. (ITS WORTH IT THO YALL THEYRE HELLA CUTE) . Also our FLs bsf is annoying as hell! Even though the romance is more of a sub plot it is an interesting watch and it sheds more light on how unfair the entertainment industry really is.
So do I recommend it? YES if you want a strong FL and a supportive couple yall should definitely watch!
