If I could describe this drama in one word it would be: witty. Seriously, I looked forward to every argument the Xing Ren (Alice Ke) and Zi Qi (Roy Chiu) had. Every interaction between them was explosive with chemistry. The first half of the drama or so was wonderfully built up. Though the premise of this drama seemed cliche and simple, the execution was smooth and not boring-mostly because of the leads. This drama seemed to be a Cinderella story-poor girl falls in love with the rich prince and vice versa but this drama was a journey of growth for both the leads, and how they became stronger together than apart. They became better because of each other. Although there were many obstacles in their journey, they were able to overcome it and come out stronger than ever. Their romance didn't feel deliberate at all. From strangers, to co-workers, to friends, and finally to lovers- the progression seemed realistic and it was just warming to watch. I have to say I got a little bit annoyed the second half with the antagonist, Kai Er (Tia Li). Tia actually acted really well here-more emotions than in Fall in Love With Me anyways. I agree with many viewers that this drama stumbled a bit in the second half but I still enjoyed it immensely. (I did fast forward some Kai Er scenes though...) Patrick Li was amazing here-over the top hilarious. This drama demonstrated Taiwanese humor at its best although it was a little much sometimes. Shi Te Long (Patrick Li) added a lot of needed laughs to this drama though; he was like a comic character come to life! His bromance with Zi Qi was amusing; the sarcasm they throw to each other is entertaining to watch. Some people weren't satisfied with the plot because Office Girls didn't feel like it was really about Office Girls in the second half. It became more about the relationship issues. I think if you can look past that and go into this drama knowing the focus is more on the relationship and the office is just a surrounding issue/environment, you'll find it easier to watch. The office dynamics were really funny and eventually you see that the co-workers really care about one another, proving that there really can be real friends in a work environment. Of course, there's always someone that will backstab you for every good person there is. I think this drama showed the nuances of the competitiveness of office life pretty well. Now, differences in social class does eventually come into play which is why I said this drama dragged in the second half. The overwhelmingly entertaining first half definitely overrode the slight disappointment I had with the second half, and the ending kind of made up for it as well. Music was lovely-I downloaded the OST. The music complemented all the scenes very well, especially the emotionally heart-wrenching ones. I think I'll re-watch some of the scenes, and maybe all of it again later because at 25 episodes it's pretty long for a SETTV drama. Now I'm off to watching Marry me or Not-hopefully Alice and Roy will have explosive chemistry there as well! Again, I recommend this drama a lot; it's full of laughter, romance, and heart. Don't miss it. (10/9)
