Suspending disbelief is difficult when the CEO is also allowed by the police to act as a detective and go along with them and, of course finding, analyzing critical data.
However, the biggest problem with this show is a lack of understanding of relationships. You can't build a relationship on an abusive, possessive basis. Nor can someone, in this case the CEO, fundamentally change his personality so quickly.
SPOILER: The CEO's family owns a hospital so he is able to fake medical records indicating the objective of his desire (definitely not love) has leukemia and he is the only compatible donor.
Then, he gives her many rules to obey and, at one point, actually holds her captive. He treats her as a possession.
How in the world can a loving relationship be built on these fundamental misunderstandings of the difference between love and lust? Then we are to believe he quickly controls these destructive tendencies and real love comes out of this?
I couldn't suspend enough disbelief in the basis of this show and I think I am being generous with a 6 rating. While not everything is awful, I also found the bad guy, someone worse than the protagonist, to be a caricature of evil with no redeeming qualities. A bit too extreme in today's entertainment where I expect most characters to be a mix of good and bad.

This drama is addicting, although very typical business drama themed. The only issue i have is people wearing the same clothes wayy to much? As if they had a low budget. Even the rich business lead had to wear the same suit a couple of time. Although the acting is a bit insincere and akward because asians are usually head on with emotions, i'll give it a pass. Kissing was weird af, needs more passion.
Sure, this isn't the best Asian drama of all time, but it's a LOT of fun and it's actually the show that got me into Asian dramas in the first place! So props there.
It's super funny and cheesy and the actors are attractive (especially Xu Kaicheng). I love all the romance tropes in it--they're all super cute. The production quality is really good, even if there is a LOT of product placement in season 2.
I like the premise of the show: how their love transcends different "alternate universes," if you will.
The action scenes with the bad guys are super silly, but I think this show should be considered more of a rom-com and less of a drama.
Season 1 is definitely stronger than season 2, but I didn't even expect it to get a season 2 so I'm just happy there's a season 2.
The side ships are all super cute and ship-worthy in this and I just wanna give Chu Yan a hug the entire time <3
I'd recommend it to anyone who likes the sillier-type kdramas.

I really liked the first season of this show, however I don't like how the second season started there love journey from the beginning. I was kinda confused.
