Rising with the Wind

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!

Recommend watching the TV drama "Wo Yao Ni Feng Qu". As an audience, I feel respected. Both the actors and the production team are conscientiously working on a down-to-earth work.

This drama is set against the backdrop of the rise of domestic products and tells the story of ordinary people from different social classes who work hard to achieve their dreams. It not only showcases the hardships of real life, but also focuses on depicting precious friendships, love, and family relationships between people. While allowing everyone to empathize, it strives to teach us some positive attitudes towards facing difficulties, which can be regarded as a treasure trove in the workplace. This is what I believe is the profound significance of this drama, and it is also my biggest gain from watching it.

It is worth mentioning that the male protagonist Xu Si in this drama, as an "atypical boss" image, is real, natural, and unconventional. He was portrayed very convincingly by actor Gong Jun and is highly recognized by professionals in the workplace. It's even hard to imagine who else besides Gong Jun could portray such a vivid image of a financial elite!

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.

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.

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!
