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.

I love so so much.
Lovely love story with believable characters. Great depiction of corporate struggles along with typical A**h0*£s trying to mess things up. Beautiful leading lady and cute young boy accompanied by great supporting actors.
Enjoyed watching this. Both leads are good. The two mothers are very funny too.
All my stars go to Dylan Wang. What made it a great series to watch for me is the acting by Dylan Wang, the lead male that plays the young assistant to the 35 year old career woman and falls in love with her. He plays the character perfectly with his youthful playfulness and talented intelligent demeanor not to mention the cutest smile and handsomeness. If it weren't for him not sure if I would have stuck with the whole series just because I thought it was sort of an advertisement for energy efficient cars the whole time, however, I loved the space theme that they chose to make their point. It is a beautiful love story, but even though I liked the ending, I still thought it could have been alot more romantic at the end than it was - there was room for improvement there with the script.
