I Want to Go Against the Wind

This drama introduced me to two talented and good looking actors with good acting skills: Gong Jun and Zhong Chuxi. They are able to convey the emotions of their characters by internalizing the feelings behind the emotion. Even if they don't speak, I can feel what they are feeling.

The romantic storyline between Xu Si and Jiang Hu is interesting. Their first meeting sparked interest, and the dynamic between them continues to fascinate. It is not the typical cliche and unrealistic love plot found in most Chinese dramas.

The business aspect of this drama is realistic. I work in the financial industry and can confirm that the investment decisions and events in the drama make sense.

Rising With The Wind is one of the highest quality modern Chinese dramas I have watched in the past five years. It has great cinematography and great aesthetics. The two main leads, Simon Gong (Xu Si) and Elaine Zhong (Jiang Hu) are fashsionable and good looking. Watching Xu Si is like watching a fashion show; he has a model-like figure and his outfits are very nice and chic.

I enjoyed watching Xu Si and Jiang Hu flirting. The love relationship between Xu Si and Jiang Hu is a matured relationship between adults, without putting aside their goals and career.

I was impressed with the ending and very pleased with the outcome. Xu Si is super charming in this drama.

Always love a good finance-related drama and Rising with the Wind is one of the best I've watched in awhile. Absolutely loved it, it's actually one of my favourite dramas of the year. The plot is pretty fast-paced and very engaging. The story line on running a factory is actually really realistic, I really felt for the female lead when she had to deal with all the pains of entrepreneurship. The business negotiation scenes are especially fun to watch, the intensity between the characters is just riveting. The male and female leads in this are both very smart and charismatic as well. I liked how their characters developed and grew with their experiences throughout the show. Really great chemistry between them as well. 10/10 recommended!

Before this drama was released, the intimate scenes in the trailer led me to think that it's a romantic drama. The story is actually well developed and paced well; it doesn't throw cheesy romantic scenes just for the sake of it. The plot revolving around the business challenges and opportunities under the impact of e-commerce is inspirational. I am pleasantly surprised by its high-quality production and strong acting cast.

Gong Jun is a handsome and charismatic actor. His portrayal of an elite investment professional has resonated with the audience. With a twitch of his eyes he can convey powerful emotion. He masters the nuance of emotional change - at work he is a decisive and objective leader while at home he reveals his vulnerable side as a son.

Elaine Zhong is a multi-award winning actress. After watching her performance in this drama, I understand why she has won acting awards. She perfectly changes her body language and mannerisms in accordance with the demand of her role. She is very natural on screen.

The seasoned supporting actors are also very good. They portrayed their roles flawlessly.

This is a story about the successor of a modern Chinese private enterprise. The story of Xu Si and Jianghu really happens in private enterprises every day.

In the past, for this group, people would only feel rich. However, they are using their strength to tear off the label of the rich second generation, because their career is really hard! Jianghu was originally the daughter of a rich family. Overnight, his father's business went bankrupt and his father died of illness. There are many problems in the enterprises in front of her: ageing personnel, outdated product styles, outdated equipment, chaotic management...

Jianghu is unfortunate. She lacks the support of her parents. Jianghu is also very lucky, because she met Xu Si. Xu Si is a talented investor, but he plays the role of an entrepreneurial gold medallist coach. He gave her the most rigourous requirements, breaking her illusions, but teaching her how to survive in the cruel market. This kind of mentor who helps female entrepreneurs wake themselves up, start their careers, and show their personal values is really fascinating. They fell in love during this period. The development of private enterprises requires the persistence of entrepreneurs, as well as the wisdom of investors and the support of the overall environment. I really see the value of this drama, so that the public can focus on the development of private economic entities and enjoy a beautiful visual feast. This rising second generation is really worthy of our understanding and attention.
