    An Underrated Modern Love Story

    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.

    Best Chinese Drama in 2023

    Best Chinese Drama in 2023 And all time best drama in my list !!!

    Unexpectedly Excellent well-written scripts & solid sharp dialogues ,, all leading actors' acting are so naturally portrayed and perfect.

    Especially main lead actor and actress are full of chemistry and best CP.

    This is a drama without cheesy cliche plots.

    All plots are so realistic and relatable with our real working environment.

    Memorable dialogues are as below: "..Love is not a noun, it is a verb..." "So walk your own path.

    Not according to the written script.

    Throw away the script and struggle to find your own life.

    It is okay to fail. It is okay to take the wrong road.

    Live freely. Isn't that the most stylish thing?"

    There are many good dialogues and plots about relationships and our working life.

    Excellent short modern down to earth romance drama

    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.

    It has become my most loved cdrama

    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.

    a very common life story

    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.
