Over The Hills (2020)

A Story of a a car corporation and how they reach their goal to produce an electric car

This drama is definitely different and more for a mature audience, in the sense that its about the exclusiveness of a car auto industry, with it the high and lows and the things they are faced with. If you are looking for romance , this is the wrong drama for you. This drama is like fine wine, lol not everyone appreciates it.

The story background is a little complicated. It is set in the auto motive industry with the company Tian Guan.
The female lead grew up with her dad learning a lot of cars, thus forming a passion for it later. Her occupation is an undercover investigator, for a corporation that wants to purchase other company at a low price. She is sent to get close to the Tian Guan company. The male lead is the 2nd heir of the Tian Guan company, but he does more research and engineering to produce an electric car ( they are called Yue Guo Shan Qiu). The female lead works from the bottom up , from working as a sales in the 4s team, to slowly giving out ideas about how to make the company better. Like test driving the car for seven days before actually buying it. She has her motives to being in Tian Guan. She tries to figure out what happen with her dad's company, which caused him to commit suicide. Tian Guan is faced with a lot of diffculties, when the eldest brother decides to leave his ceo position. Eventually our female lead takes the role of ceo , but take the fact that she still has the other identity. She struggles with what she should do , should she sell Tian Guan?

The main driver and spotlight goes to the female lead Ou Yan Xia Lan played by Zhang li ! Her character is so brave, witty, bold, wise, The male lead Peng yue was kinda weak because throughout the drama his focus was on trying to develop a electric car . He waws kinda passive and he wasnt an assertive overbearing ceo lol . Theres hardly any romance but i feel like its an actually adult romance, like i dont have to day i love you, or kiss but I still support you and love you from afar. By the things that i am doing I am going to save your grandfather's company Tian GUan. It was a different type of romantic.

btw can they make more dramas with the second male as lead, i had second male lead syndrome. He was so nice and never got anything ( then he turn slightly evil...) sighs....!!!

This drama is usually not my cup of tea but was pleasantly surprise. Dont think this drama is for everyone , but some one will appreciate it :)

A story heavy on the drama and technicality side but with good actors

Wow...this drama was definitely dramatic. I'll just say that I am normally a rom-com watcher; this is far from that. The story itself was alright with a nice focus on the car industry. The actors did really well and there were no annoying characters. Two reasons why I didn't rank it higher:
1. It was pretty technical on the business side. I was so confused on what was illegal or what was just friendly competition almost half the time for maybe the first 30 episodes.
2. The story developed at a slow pace. I think this is pretty expected of a drama with 44 episodes but sometimes, once a "crisis greater than any in the company's history" occurs, another hiccup that seems like the greatest crisis of all time appears out of no where. If this repetitive cycle went on any longer, I would've dropped the drama.
