The Rational Life

The acting is very good, they do a good job portraying their characters. Love dylan wang's acting in this drama.

I decided to watch this as I had seen the lead actor Dylan Wang in Meteor Garden and enjoyed his performance in that. This is a really enjoyable series-witty, clever, and it tackles some interesting Issues. The two leads are great together. Dylan Wang and Qin Lan seem to have a good rapport.

All in all a well acted very watchable drama.

At first, you would have thought its just a May-December love story. But i like how the story writer/director/producer incorporated very real corporate world examples & relationship between family/friends/colleagues in.

This drama revolves around the very rational & independent female lead starring Qin Lan. Being a 30 plus career woman....not in a low position in office but not exactly high up too... she finds herself competing against the typical males in the office environment, battle the lows in her career, well supported by her efficient and thoughtful assistant. The dramas shows how this female lead uses her rational mind & heart, wits, brain & humanity to face & resolve each challenges in her work & personal life...many thoughts provoking wise words and actions that is worth pondering...and eventually, when comes to real love, its all about courage and action upon your heart..when rational become irrational...love this drama.

This drama tackles substantial topics - a May-December romance, sexism and politics at work, societal pressures on women to get married and have kids, plagiarism - without becoming boring. Kudos to the acting, writing and direction for making the story believable and engrossing. Both main leads, Qin Lan as competent career woman Shen Ruoxin and Dylan Wang as her loyal assistant Qi Xiao, are stunningly good-looking and have great chemistry together.

The story shows how flawed society's negative view about May-December relationships is. It underscores the fact that maturity is not only defined by age. Xiao, the youngest man vying for Ruoxin's affection, has the most mature attitude towards her.

The skillful writing seamlessly weaves the love story with the couple's struggles against office politics as well as other issues they and other characters face. Thus, the romance is not rushed, developing organically with the rest of the story. As Ruoxin and Xiao deal with one challenge after another, it is riveting to see whether this pair of goodhearted and hardworking individuals would buckle under pressure or prevail.

I love it so much.... Ahhhh Dylan has come a long way from Meteor Garden with this one! I see him in a more mature way with this show. Really enjoyed the film as far as the chemistry and genuineness from Dylan and the actress. She is beautiful and acts really well.

To be honest, I've never watched Chinese drama before but after seeing the trailer, I thought I'd give it a try.

Very good drama. I like the performance of the leading actress. She is actually 41 years old but still so beautiful! I also like her performance in Story of Yanxi Palace and it's great to see she can be the leading actress in the TV series....

I love so so much.
