ML-FL relationship is sweet AND authentic, investment banking plot draws you in, awesome OST!

This show made me start an account here so I can post a review! Started watching this because so many people said the chemistry between the MLs was great. To be honest, I almost gave up after the first 3 episodes, but I remembered reading a review that said to hang in there past the 3rd episode and I'm soooo glad I did.

I expected a sweet romantic drama - it is sweet but not the super fluffy type which is a nice change of pace. Their chemistry made the relationship feel authentic, like what you'd expect to see in real-life couples. What I did not expect was for the rest of the plot (the scheming that goes on in the investment banking world) to also draw me in! Somewhere in the middle of this show, I felt I was watching for this rather than the romances between the on-screen couples!

I LOVED the main couple, even though Luo Yunxi sometimes comes across as the typical controlling I-know-what's-best-for-you bfs seen in most C-dramas. For me, I found the 2nd couple a bit annoying for the first half of the show - the 2nd female lead was a tad too persistent, and the relationship was more of the same "geeky-guy-doesn't-understand-love" tropes. The couple did grow on me a bit in the 2nd half of the show.

I was surprised that the main plot seemed to wrap up with about 5-6 episodes left to the show. I was afraid the ending would feel dragged out, but after finishing the show, I'm glad they decided to take their time to wrap up the stories. Too many drama series have endings that feel rushed, leaving viewers feeling a bit cheated.

Ending this review by saying the OST is awesome! I'm still listening to it now even after having finished the show.
