imho the best modern C-drama to date in 2021
**Non-spoiler section**
Tight, gripping, fast-paced. Never a dull moment.
The star of this show really is Qin Lan. I didn’t have much impression of her (weak and easily bullied) character in Yanxi Palace but her performance in this show threw me off my seat. It really did her justice and I loved every minute of her in it. She’s this smart, witty, aggressive yet empathetic character that I learn so much from.
What’s better is that this show is a fresh idea. The focus is on the ruthless celebrity world which I believe many of us would like to know more. This opened my eyes about how their world works, the stakes and story behind each production, each weibo post. A much fun watch, actually.
Talk about couples. I love the chemistry between the FL and ML. They are funny at times. Both are successful in their careers so you don’t have the perennial issue of one earning more than the other. And Mo Bei provides such a loving support to our iron lady after a long, hard day at work. <3
Really a thumbs up from me. One of the best modern shows I’ve watched. Love the FL’s outfits and make up in this show too. It makes her look 10 years younger than in Yanxi Palace and The Eight.
OST - 10/10 the 3 main songs are sooo good.
Rewatchability - 10/10 all of Mo Xiang Wan’s yelling at people and giving love to her artists are worth rewatching over and over.
Closure - 10/10. ‘Nuff said. You gotta watch this yourself.
Also, R.I.P Godfrey. Taken away too soon from us.

My fav work relationships and friendships in this drama:
Xiang Wan + Guan Xian: if these two don’t have their own spouses I can imagine them growing old together and annoying each other.
Xiang Wan + Ruan Li Hua: how she handles a veteran diva who’s out of touch with showbiz.
Xiang Wan + Song Qian: how she fights for a neglected yet stubborn stage actor.
Xiang Wan’s ‘gift’ to Zai Zai was the best arc ever. It was so emotional and perfect on many levels.
Lin Xiang has a very true and realistic character. Episode 35 was a terribly heavy episode for me. I’ve never cried an entire episode in my life. You get to see the consequence, regret and redemption in all those around her. R.I.P. and I hope no artist will ever have to go through this.
