Typical boss/employee romance but a good one!

I was hesitant watching this because the plot just sounded weird, however, I'm glad I watched it. Basically, it's about a rich CEO Zhi You, who never lies, and an ordinary girl who became his assistant Yi Ren, who always lies, and they fall in love. Typical employee/boss romance.

After watching this drama, I felt like it gave some sort of hidden message about why people lie. There are some people that lie due to selfish reasons or to get away with something. While there are some that lie because they don't want to hurt the one they love and believe "it is what's best."(basically good intentions). This drama gave me a realization that sometimes we have to look at things from a different perspective of why people lie. But of course, lying is still not acceptable.

Zhi You hated and never told a lie because one lie led to bad results for his best friend's family and broke their friendship during their childhood. Therefore, he hated anyone that ever told lies. However, Yi Ren came in who is the COMPLETE opposite of him who ALWAYS lies. Somehow, despite the millions of times she lied to him, he still did not let her go. With Yi Ren, I noticed that she doesn't lie out of selfish reasons. She lies because she is afraid the truth will hurt him.

HOWEVER, this is one thing that I do have to express frustration on. Yi Ren's character is quite week. She is not able to be honest with others because she cares of what others think and does not want to hurt them. I sorta understand in a way since she did grow up in a toxic childhood with her relatives that were just mentally abusive and could not speak up of how she felt. So she always felt inferior and insecure of everything and cannot speak up for her nor tell the truth on things. She lied so much throughout the drama and it just started getting really frustrating that I actually hated her character at times. She is lucky that Zhi You forgave her many times for it. However, he does get sickened by it after awhile and they broke up for a bit. But in the end, he realizes he can't live without her and knows lying is her weakness, but knows she's not doing it out of bad intentions so he seemed to openly accept that about her. She also tries her best to improve herself of not lying and stand up for herself. I'm glad she finally cut ties with her aunt and cousin who are just complete hypocritical gold-digging liars.

Anyway, this drama revolved a lot of lying and deception among different people. People try to lie/deceive others out of selfish reasons was really frustrating to watch. But hey, that's what the drama is overall about: lying. I felt like the last two episodes were just not really necessary and didn't make sense at all as to why they had to add that subplot. It was just weird they added last-minute a sudden plot twist of Yuwen turning evil and betraying Zhi You again right after he gave her another chance after framing Yi Ren. Also, I did not really watch the second couple subplot because I wasn't entirely interested in their romance so I skipped it HAHA.

As for the romance, it was really cute. It was sorta cheesy but surprisingly it was bearable for me. Yi Ren changed Zhi You in a way that made him less cold and realize things from a different perspective. They understand one another despite being polar opposites. They kiss like so much throughout this drama omfg XDD. You can tell how madly in love he is with her LOL. It just felt so real!

Overall, I really liked the drama. The message was nice and the couple just had great chemistry. I don't think I'd watch it again like the WHOLE thing but maybe rewatch some clips that I liked.
