An jia

Any drama with Sun Li I will always look favourably on as I think she is an outstanding talent. In this drama she plays Fang Si Jin who has had an incredibly difficult childhood but is now a successful but ruthless operator in the world of real estate. She is sent by her mentor to a branch in Shanghai to take control of and oust the present manager Xu Wen Dao (Luo Jin) who is caring and compassionate in all he does. This initial clash with her and her fellow workers is softened over time as she learns the value of true friendship. Yes I agree at over 50 episodes it is too long but each house sale brings a heartwarming story and in this series good always triumphs over evil.

I can only rate this series as an experiment backed by strong performances and photography. That resplendent oriental style that appeals and satisfies its progressive middle class. There are light tones everywhere, and the scriptwriter's sacred hand turns the page without hesitation or stumbling, even if he continually gets into baffling moments (where all this is going?) That can compromise the credibility of the following chapters. Nevertheless all problems are solved without the help of Harry Potter's magic wand.

It is a different series, light, without dark plots, or characters crushed by the past or fate. So clear is the composition of the costumes, scenery, photography and script; as are the performances, the interlocutions and the evolution of the chapters that do not exactly respect the tradition of opening and closing with a theme but this series seems a continuity to accompany the viewer in their daily life without demanding too much sense.

I've seen half of the chapters but to see Sun Li acting I will continue until the end. Actually it is Sun Li who gives tremendous support to this which would otherwise be a simple 28 line sheet. But it would not be possible or fair not to appreciate the solidity of the rest of the cast of actors whose performance, even under this concept of series, are capable of making such an easygoing world credible.
