Drama Digest:

The leader of a tech company, Zhao Jiang Yue, can be a bit oppressive. She is renowned for her straightforward attitude to business – and her staff. The company launches a dating app that guarantees to pair users with partners in just three months. She also has a limited understanding of personal relationships. However, when the family that controls the business arranges for Gu Jia Xin, the company’s heir, to join as Zhao Jiang Yue’s temporary assistant, things at work start to get awkward.

The Feel-Good Part:

The leads’ incredibly sultry connection is just the beginning. Even though they don’t like each other at all, they are pulled to each other from the first day they meet, which is in episode one. The bonds, the majority of the characters, are endearing, and despite the presence of a few people who appear to require assistance, there aren’t any truly obnoxious ones.

The Disappointing Factor:

There were some plodding and some hurried points.

In-Depth Analysis:

Although Gu Jia Xin’s mother wants him to run the company, he has other plans. He is a successful professional race car driver who enjoys enormous popularity among women. He prefers to compete on the motorbike track than working in a boardroom. The two start out poorly as Zhao Jiang Yue tries to intimidate him while Gu Jia Xin makes a mess of things. But when she asks Gu Jia Xin for assistance in her attempt to win over Xu Ning Yuan, he starts to suddenly feel as though he is falling for her and that the feeling just might be mutual.

Star Power:

Overall, the cast was great, and there was a fun rapport among them. I did find Li Yan Ran annoying and clingy but at least she could still separate her obsession with Jia Xin from doing the right thing.

Overall Opinion:

The OST’s music is also excellent and memorable. Dramatic series that is without a doubt highly recommended. It is very energizing and has a great overall vibe.
