Episode 1

It started with the female lead being so annoying but she is Tang Min, I forgive her because she had earned a lot of Kudos Points for her role in Chef Hua, one of my favourite dramas because of the cooking element.

Anyway, Tang Min plays Su Shi Yu, a food vlogger who wanted to get the contract for Houwei Coffee.  But that day of her presentation to the company, the heavens seemed to be working to make it as hard as possible for her.  Everything was going wrong.

She got in the lift where she got trapped with a handsome guy.  After feeling him up, she asked him to lift her up to the now partially opened elevator door because she can’t wait 30 minutes for it to be fully functional.

When she got to the meeting the Chairman of Houwei Coffee was not interested with her presentation and told her to leave.

The chairman was way too stressed to worry really about anything else because his son and heir had decided to find his inner spiritual being through meditation.  So he climbed up the mountain and refused to return.

The son was actually the guy Su Shiyu got trapped in the elevator with.  The guy she got into the same bus with where he heard every single word she said loudly that the son of the chairman was a spoiled brat who had mental issues.

Anyway, she ended following the guy into his house in the mountain where she was forced to stay because of heavy rain.  The guy told her to remain in the house because he noticed she stepped on a nail.

Shiyu got comfortable in the house, she felt comfortable she started burning his pages from the guy’s notebook to start the fire for heat in the bedroom.  She was caught by the annoyed guy and grabbed the notebook and torn pages from her.

He had been trying to live as simply as he could, with no electricity, no running water, no modern entertainment like television, mobile phone, computer, etc because he was determined to concentrate on his spirituality through meditation.

The chairman who came to see his son saw them looking rather intimate.   He left them hurriedly.

So when Shiyu was back to civilisation, the chairman approached her.  He told her that she can get the contract under one condition.

Shiyu said she will do anything.  Her mission was to try to get Lin Wei to come down from the mountain and inherit Houwei.  Shiyu asked the Chairman who was Lin Wei.  The Chairman was surprised but  he told her that Lin Wei was the guy she was with in the mountain.

Episode 2

Opps, Tang Min, I am afraid used up all her good points from Chef Hua.  Her character Shiyu is the most annoying and idiotic girl.  She does not use her brain at all.  She ended up battering Lin Wei who is equally stupid for still having anything to do with her.

Seriously, I don’t think I could continue to watch this drama despite liking both the leads in their previous dramas.
