On Viki called "Make It Till You Fake It". I am giving this an 8 for this C-Drama. There are some things that I didn't care for - the main character story line got a little boring at times, and felt that the secondary story line had more time being spent on with the controlling boyfriend aspect of the drama. Would have liked to see something more with the main character story line overall. I did like Elvis Hahn (on Viki they called him Elvis Hahn, here on IMDB the same actor is being called Hongju Hahn) as Xu Zi Quan as he did play the handsome lawyer who had a previous relationship that did not work out - now not interested in getting married, but is more of a womanizer or playboy type. The FL was a good match for him which was decent casting for C-Drama's as usually they choose someone that is not a good match for the lead.

Later when they featured the 2nd story line again with the new boyfriend of the supporting actress (the sister), that was more interesting again. He was a cute younger guy with no money, trying to make a career singing at local bars and live online streaming in the middle of the night. When he dressed up for a performance he was quite handsome and mature looking. His music was the only good music in the show. The other theme songs that were featured throughout the Drama did not catch my attention at all and are non-rememberable unlike other dramas - which did not prompt to too search for add to my playlist.

Best Chinese Drama in 2023 And all time best drama in my list !!!

Unexpectedly Excellent well-written scripts & solid sharp dialogues ,, all leading actors' acting are so naturally portrayed and perfect.

Especially main lead actor and actress are full of chemistry and best CP.

This is a drama without cheesy cliche plots.

All plots are so realistic and relatable with our real working environment.

Memorable dialogues are as below: "..Love is not a noun, it is a verb..." "So walk your own path.

Not according to the written script.

Throw away the script and struggle to find your own life.

It is okay to fail. It is okay to take the wrong road.

Live freely. Isn't that the most stylish thing?"

There are many good dialogues and plots about relationships and our working life.

Director Li Mo's Remembrance of things past was lovely, but it's his most recent work - Fake it till you make it- that got me. It's so grounded and realistic but not without all the delicious flirtatious tensions between the leads. And the best thing is that love isnt the only important thing in their lives - they work hard, have interests, have everyday life struggles - just like us. Being a former office worker, I could definitely see bits and pieces of myself in this drama.

My only complaint of this drama is that it's too short. I find myself keep going back to previous episodes, not wanting to part. We need more dramas like this.

"Fake it Until You Make It" has some decent ideas, especially regarding the business stress and pressures of modern office work. Unfortunately, it falls short where it matters most: the romance. The chemistry between the main leads often feels forced and lacks genuine connection. The story frequently goes off track, and the execution and direction seem unconventional and disjointed.

The editing also contributes to the disjointed feel, with abrupt transitions between scenes that disrupt the narrative flow. The cinematography is unremarkable, and the theme songs and music selections sometimes feel out of place and detract from the overall experience.

All these factors made it difficult for me to root for the main couple, leaving me uninterested in their story. My recommendation is to watch the first few episodes. If you don't find yourself invested in the main couple by then, it's unlikely you will enjoy the rest of the series.

First of all I should say I never understood why they have selected such name for this drama it has nothing to do with the story lol Its a very common each day of life story of every one of us ; our families our works our relation ships our obstacles our difficulties our jobs our friends and ... Its so boring until Episode 7 or 8, long long conversations ,office discussion and nothing exciting but after 8th episode drama shows its main direction and u are curious to find out about its end there are no disturbing parents or a fake relation ! Everything is normal and goes forward in its way ,the actings and chemistry between first leads are good enough if u are looking for a smooth lovey routine life story its a good choice I score it 8/10.
