The Rational Life

Lovely love story with believable characters. Great depiction of corporate struggles along with typical A**h0*£s trying to mess things up. Beautiful leading lady and cute young boy accompanied by great supporting actors.

I decided to watch this as I had seen the lead actor Dylan Wang in Meteor Garden and enjoyed his performance in that. This is a really enjoyable series-witty, clever, and it tackles some interesting Issues. The two leads are great together. Dylan Wang and Qin Lan seem to have a good rapport.

All in all a well acted very watchable drama.

At first, you would have thought its just a May-December love story. But i like how the story writer/director/producer incorporated very real corporate world examples & relationship between family/friends/colleagues in.

This drama revolves around the very rational & independent female lead starring Qin Lan. Being a 30 plus career woman....not in a low position in office but not exactly high up too... she finds herself competing against the typical males in the office environment, battle the lows in her career, well supported by her efficient and thoughtful assistant. The dramas shows how this female lead uses her rational mind & heart, wits, brain & humanity to face & resolve each challenges in her work & personal life...many thoughts provoking wise words and actions that is worth pondering...and eventually, when comes to real love, its all about courage and action upon your heart..when rational become irrational...love this drama.

A very good drama that incorporates many modern ideas. It gives an accurate portrayal of women in the workplace in a patriarchal society. It also shows the conflicts between several modern and traditional values, and does a good job resolving them.

The actors have great chemistry. Qinlan gives a great performance, as always, and brings much depth to our main character. Dylan's acting is much improved from his previous works. Both are a joy to watch and it's obvious they work well together.

The writing is a bit lazy at times but not enough to be an issue. The overall plot flows very well. Definitely worth a watch.

Enjoyed watching this. Both leads are good. The two mothers are very funny too.
