Director Li Mo's Remembrance of things past was lovely, but it's his most recent work - Fake it till you make it- that got me. It's so grounded and realistic but not without all the delicious flirtatious tensions between the leads. And the best thing is that love isnt the only important thing in their lives - they work hard, have interests, have everyday life struggles - just like us. Being a former office worker, I could definitely see bits and pieces of myself in this drama.

My only complaint of this drama is that it's too short. I find myself keep going back to previous episodes, not wanting to part. We need more dramas like this.

I was attracted to the low number of episodes being 14. There's little chance of. Dragging a series when it's a short series and I can't handle long conflicting anguishing romantic dramas. I was amazed from the first episode at how realistic it was as most of us would have encountered characters like those in the series in real life at our workplace or may even have observed exhibits of such behavior in big cities. This series tells of working people in their twenties to forties and how they deal with work competition, romance and families. Our FL & ML are quite endearing and mature. From teasing, flirtations, suspicions of each other to friends and to lovers, we see them mature and change. There's quite a few clever conversations and it's a pure joy to see how their feelings deepen. Highly recommended watch.

On Viki called "Make It Till You Fake It". I am giving this an 8 for this C-Drama. There are some things that I didn't care for - the main character story line got a little boring at times, and felt that the secondary story line had more time being spent on with the controlling boyfriend aspect of the drama. Would have liked to see something more with the main character story line overall. I did like Elvis Hahn (on Viki they called him Elvis Hahn, here on IMDB the same actor is being called Hongju Hahn) as Xu Zi Quan as he did play the handsome lawyer who had a previous relationship that did not work out - now not interested in getting married, but is more of a womanizer or playboy type. The FL was a good match for him which was decent casting for C-Drama's as usually they choose someone that is not a good match for the lead.

Later when they featured the 2nd story line again with the new boyfriend of the supporting actress (the sister), that was more interesting again. He was a cute younger guy with no money, trying to make a career singing at local bars and live online streaming in the middle of the night. When he dressed up for a performance he was quite handsome and mature looking. His music was the only good music in the show. The other theme songs that were featured throughout the Drama did not catch my attention at all and are non-rememberable unlike other dramas - which did not prompt to too search for add to my playlist.

I think this story deviated from the typical c-drama themes of unnecessary conflict. And I loved that!

The story was very real and very honest. The characters were flawed but likable and easy to connect with. The chemistry was great!

I can particularly relate these characters because I know what's its like to be consumed with work that you have no personal life. And for things at work to be going badly regardless. And I appreciate the lessons that they tried to shine light on. That consistent effort eventually pays off but overworking yourself can be dangerous.

I'm surprised it took me this long to find out about this show and after watching it I am very satisfied.

First of all I should say I never understood why they have selected such name for this drama it has nothing to do with the story lol Its a very common each day of life story of every one of us ; our families our works our relation ships our obstacles our difficulties our jobs our friends and ... Its so boring until Episode 7 or 8, long long conversations ,office discussion and nothing exciting but after 8th episode drama shows its main direction and u are curious to find out about its end there are no disturbing parents or a fake relation ! Everything is normal and goes forward in its way ,the actings and chemistry between first leads are good enough if u are looking for a smooth lovey routine life story its a good choice I score it 8/10.
