Rising with the Wind

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 like this play. I like the romantic love story in it, and I like Xu Si's respect for his lover in the play. Xu Si has always been keen on pursuing Jianghu. When Jianghu took the initiative to respond to Xu Si for the first time, Xu Si's reaction fully showed that he was serious about the relationship. When Jianghu finally put his head on Xu Si's chest, Xu Si's first reaction was to confirm the other party's feelings in the face of the long-awaited response. At that time, he was a little nervous and carefully confirmed that he was afraid that happiness did not belong to him. "Why are you so good today? "The girl said "thank you" (impressed by his heart) and "that's it" (follow his heart). He smiled gently and then began to enjoy the sweetness of this hard-won feeling. He is the kind of person who cherishes his lover. He will guide you, take care of you, and tempt you, but he will never force you.

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 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.

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!
