Synopsis: (edited from Dramawiki)
Qin Zi Qi is a MBA graduate who has everything handed to him because he is the future successor of Jingshi Department Store. However, his father worries he will not make a good manager and decides to train him by having him work as an entry-level employee for a year. During the year he has to live on his own salary and never reveal his true identity, or he will have to renounce his succession right. Qin could not have survived the year has it not been for Shen Xing Ren's office survival guide. Shen is a Jingshi marketing specialist who has just saved her first $100,000 for the down payment on a house. She works very hard to achieve her goal. Together, Shen and Qin accomplish the impossible, which is to shine on the bottom of the office pyramid.
Why watch?
Roy Chiu's tw drama comeback. I've never find Roy's acting impressive, but he has matured alot and his image is less girly now.
If you like James Wen, you might want to watch him as well, but his scenes are only heavier in the front part of the drama.
Tia Li is quite famous for acting in her bad role Kai Er. She is much prettier than our lead actress. Lolz!
Patrick Li is great with his comedic role. Gotta thank him for all the laughters.
Why skip?
The drama plot was alright. Nothing out of the box, and nothing new. I find the drama too draggy, shld have cut down on the episodes.
First time watching Alice Ke, and her acting was alright. I am not sure why they picked her as the lead, she looks kinda boring to me. Xing Ren is too plain and boring. Chemistry with Roy was ok, but definitely not the best.
Roy's acting improved, but Zi Qi is just another typical rich guy.
I thought James and Janel are the supporting leads, but it turns out that the real supports are Yao Yao and Patrick Li. James and Janel took up more scenes in the first half of the drama, but they literally disappeared in the 2nd half, which made the drama even more boring. What a pity!
Yao Yao is quite annoying, period.
