Tian Xing is an advertising genius, CEO of a company run with his
best friend and owned by his adopted aunt. However, with all the
pressures of running a successful business, Tian Xing feels like he's
lost his creative edge. While he's disguised and sneaking away from
his best friend, COO Lance, he runs into the small-time advertising
company OZ, which is actually the same company that inspired Tian
Xing to go into advertising in the first place. Tian Xing decides to
continue helping OZ during his vacation from his own company once he
discovers that it has been struggling ever since the founder, Tao Le
Yuan, had died. Tian Xing creates an alter ego named Xiao Lu, and
OZ's current boss, Le Yuan's little sister Tao Le Si, starts to
develop feelings for Xiao Lu. What will she do when she finds out
it's really the arrogant Lu Tian Xing? What will Tian Xing's best
friend, best friend's sister, and their mother have to say?
*This
drama lasted about ten episodes too long, and all the “cute”
moments felt far too forced. Taiwan dramas have a lot less money than
Korean dramas, and it was evident in everything from the camera
angles to the script. This definitely had potential to be a cute
drama, but everything took too long to happen, it was so slow, and
the main conflict is basically resolved about halfway through.
Everything after that feels forced and the psychological warfare
these characters inflict on each other is horrible to watch. The
length of the drama does allow the antagonists the chance to change
and redeem themselves, but it was just so uncomfortable to watch them
get to that point. I won't watch this again, no matter how cute Aaron
Yan is. Definitely skip this drama, unless you like long, drawn-out,
poorly written stories. It does have a decent ending, though (again,
if they had only ended the show after 10 episodes instead of 20).*
