Rising with the Wind

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.

I am watching two of Gong Jun's dramas at the same time. I was attracted by his performance in another fantasy costume drama and decided to check out this modern drama as well.

The chemistry between Xu Si (played by Gong Jun) and Jiang Hu (played by Zhong ChuXi) is very intense. Their interactions are very natural and their eyes tell their emotions in every scene. I love the flirtation and slow burn in their relationship. Dealing with professional and personal struggles and responsibilities is very real. The storyline is solid and the story unfolds in a beautiful way. Gong Jun is such a versatile actor; he performs well in both costume and modern dramas!

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 There are many problems in the enterprises in front of her: ageing personnel, outdated product styles, outdated equipment, chaotic management...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.

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!

I was attracted by the previews available on social platforms before this drama being aired. After finish watching few episodes, I must say this is a very good drama, the plot is so different from other dramas, interesting lines and perfect pace. The leads not only good looking but their performance are superb! I was touched when seeing the female lead crying. The male lead is not a typical "cool face" bossy type investor but he showed his warm side when he saw the female lead in trouble. I like this kind of boss haha! And there are many senior actors/actresses too, all with very good acting skill. Must watch!
