Coming into this drama I was familiar with Zhang Han and Janine Chang already. Zhang Han basically plays the same character (especially in modern dramas). He's the cool, suave, handsome, super rich boss of a company with a somewhat cold personality, but when it comes to love he gets pretty invested. Janine Chang I've only ever seen as a supporting actress, so I wasn't sure how this would play out; but, I knew that she and Zhang Han have worked together before and have decent chemistry together.

I'm normally not a huge fan of modern dramas (preferring historical since they tend to have much more going on plot wise - romance, drama, politics, scheming, etc.) because they pretty much all end up being about the same. Here to Heart falls under that same fairly basic formula for modern dramas.

STORY:
Overall while everything that was going on in the plot seemingly had logic to it - why they broke up, why they had miscommunications, why they couldn't get back together, etc. - it really just played out as overdramatic and nonsensical to me. I get that Wen Nuan (Janine Chang) is supposed to be this super loving character who really cares for the people around her (pretty stereotypical honestly) but it just doesn't make sense to me that all of this occurred when it probably could've been solved with some hefty conversations. Idk.

Even the storyline of what happened to her father - and her subsequent mental issues - I just don't see how they thought it would make more sense to keep that huge event hidden from her - as if she would never find out about it and continue to have mental problems relating to it. It just seemed like the whole drama was a series of the characters putting bandaids on bullet wounds the entire time. Every problem that occurred - major or minor - they just had the worst ways of going about dealing with said issues - which then made things even worse.

For the most part, the story was super meh to me. Nothing was outstanding or super memorable. It was just all very standard modern business drama/romance.

Acting:
Janine Chang - Wen Nuan - I think I disliked more how the character was written, moreso than Janine's acting. She was supposed to be this really smart and capable employee, but then her downfalls were being a TERRIBLE COMMUNICATOR and causing all of these emotional problems for basically everyone involved. There wasn't much about her character that was special to me. She was kind, hardworking, loving, etc. I also just think she was a fairly weak person, not really being able to stand up for herself and just kind of getting pushed along a lot of times.

Zhang Han - Nan Xian - As mentioned, he's just another basic rich guy CEO. He's loving, he's smart, he's loyal, etc. There was just nothing special about the characters that I remember. Zhang Han has done this type of character before, so nothing to phone home about.

OVERALL:
I honestly spent a lot of this drama just skipping through the scenes (which I rarely do). When I was watching it, there was nothing about it that was screaming - OMG THIS IS AMAZING - to me. It was just a lot of average everything. Story was not super memorable. Acting was fine. Production was fine as well.

I don't really see myself ever rewatching this. As for if you should watch it at all? It wasn't a terrible drama, but it's not a must see by any means.
