why are all the written reviews so bad

I watched this as drama as it was released when I was in Hong Kong. I'll note that I don't speak cantonese so I was relying on my rusty mandarin to understand but I followed the storyline. All I have to say is that the storyline was definitely something interesting. The highlights of this drama are probably the backstory and the fanciness of gambling scenes. Honestly, the point of watching a gambling themed series is just to be thrilled at how skilled the characters are at winning and this drama accomplishes exactly that. I would try to guess what comes next but still want to watch the next episode to confirm or be shook.

A story heavy on the drama and technicality side but with good actors

Wow...this drama was definitely dramatic. I'll just say that I am normally a rom-com watcher; this is far from that. The story itself was alright with a nice focus on the car industry. The actors did really well and there were no annoying characters. Two reasons why I didn't rank it higher:
1. It was pretty technical on the business side. I was so confused on what was illegal or what was just friendly competition almost half the time for maybe the first 30 episodes.
2. The story developed at a slow pace. I think this is pretty expected of a drama with 44 episodes but sometimes, once a "crisis greater than any in the company's history" occurs, another hiccup that seems like the greatest crisis of all time appears out of no where. If this repetitive cycle went on any longer, I would've dropped the drama.

A slice of life comedy

Extremely light with no strong plot along the episodes. It's a nice refresher after watching some deep and lengthy dramas. Acting is not bad (from the main cast). The dubbing/audio is a little off only sometimes, but definitely not the worst I've seen from Chinese dramas. It's a pretty simple series with only 16 episodes, and the light music matches the simpleness.
Not to be offensive but to just give you an overall vibe:
If this was the work of high school film students, I would say well done for a comedy.

Also, if you watch on the iQiyi website, I think its autogenerated subs so just be aware.
