What makes it particularly different and a must watch series??

Here are the ten reasons that in my opinion make this drama stand out from the rest:
1. *A very appropriate length*
Length is very important..considering the stamina to focus...Unlike usual Chinese dramas that are mostly 30-50 episodes long, draining energy...this drama unbelievably has just 14 episodes ..but the content is so precisely and comprehensively packed with all the essential details that you can't resist watching it all at once...

2. *A slice of life story*
Unlike other dramas that for the sake of happy ending or justification of their genre pack all kind of ridiculous happenings...where you can't imagine yourself anywhere in the impossible plot...this drama is very believable with respect to story telling... things presented in the plot are very much relatable to one's own self or at least to one's surroundings.... giving you a home-like or life-like feel...plus there are many life lessons to learn from ...

3. *Human-like characters, their presentation and development*
Like in other stories, here you won't see any Angels or Satans....no absolute black or white character...no good or evil determination...or the kind of utterly alien things...All characters portrayed in this series are in their own shades of gray....playing good and evil with different people in different circumstances... showing vulnerabilities and sometimes faking certain pretense...but evolving into better and self-awared beings ultimately...who realizes his purpose and path after diverse experiences.

4. *Power dynamics between Main leads*
This is very uncommon in dramas where most of the time one lead (mostly female) is shown in a miserable state...a common dominant-recessive character duo...though scale of this difference between leads varies in different plots but it commonly exists.
But here both the leads have been optimized to equal beings...By equals I mean not just apparently equal (handsome male, beautiful female), but also intellectually equal..(smart and wise), both career oriented.., both have unique aesthetics..., both are mature(their conversations, worldview)... are mentally and emotionally strong...both have ideals and both are kind of selfish... both have past stories...both have pursuers...and both are kind of geniune...

5. *Strong and impactful Dialogues*
You would hardly come across a drama that pays attention to dialogues the way this series did...heart warming...heart wrenching... pleasing ...painful...All kind of emotions are so beautifully backed by weighty dialogues.....that convey a lot in mini statements and then the delivery of these dialogues...(in the environment created by the chemistry of the leads)...made it irresistible...no cliches...no lofty confessions...or sloppy statements...just the honest heartfelt conversations that give the taste of true love and life.

6. *Work-love life importance and balance*
Mostly dramas are all about love or all about the topic they are based on....kind of unidirectional story.... but rarely you see a plot ... where work life is presented in this motivating way...aware of the fact that mostly career takes the front position in our life and everything else goes backward...this drama shows not just the choices made in competition, pressure, struggles and failures but also depicts the consequences of those choices.

7. *Gender neutral drama*
ML- apparently a playboy, a man who avoids responsibility, a man who takes things lightly, can't get serious, but inwardly a heartbroken person afraid of being cheated...
FL- apparently a hard to please girl, not take men or their flirting seriously, but inwardly an easily manipulated soft hearted girl...
So both male and female leads are hiding themselves under a certain facade fearing the same things...this drama if showed the non-seriousness, shallowness or callousness of man, it also showed the same of the women...same for disloyalty...both men and women cheat .. nothing is gender specified

8. *Inspirational and motivational push*
This is a potential story if you are looking for a drama that motivates you to work hard and keep improving yourself in attainment of your ideals....Also it makes you question your goals your ideals..and the importance of things and people in your life ...you will be directed to make order of your priorities...

9. *Uniqueness in humor and delivery*
This drama is not carrying absurd comedy that is a common trait of rom-com ...this series carries humor in a very decent way... you'll taste an active and truly satisfying humor... particularly in between the male leads

10. *Natural development of chemistry*
From strangers to fellows to friends and to lovers, the story development and romance is very organic and believable.... starting from plane and powerbank till the last confession... everything is on the line of true definition of love taking it as a verb...a continuous process... evolving all the time...

11. *If you don't care about above things and are looking for just one reason to watch this show...then here is the last and most important thing...*
Elvis Han-a fresh face but utterly handsome.....truly manly (not so common trait of Chinese actors)..having a contagious smile that unconsciously forces your lipcorners toward earlobes...his deep voice that carries a sense of seduction...and playfulness in his role... everything is utterly satisfying and a candy to the eye ...
