Content
So, during my catch-up with old friends last night, this drama was recommended to me as being very good, despite being on the slightly sad side of things.
To be honest, this one flew under my radar when it aired, and I only have the vaguest impression of this being mentioned among drama fans.
I looked it up, and found that Show's highly rated on MyDramaList, with a score of 8.5, as I type this.
The synopsis, as per MDL, reads:
"A story of young men and women born in the 80's and 90's who meet in Beijing. Through their struggles in the metropolis, they hold on to their dreams and experience various tests in life, career, and love. Smart and motivated, Qiao Xi Chen has gone all the way from a small town to complete her studies in Beijing and work diligently in the corporate world. Life was good. However, the sudden death of Hu Jing Jing comes as a shock. Qiao Xi Chen grieves the loss of a dear friend together with her besties Xu Yan and Hu Jing Jing's older cousin Ji Nan Jia as they continue on with their lives carrying Hu Jing Jing in their hearts.
At work, Jian Yi Fan is the new man put in leadership and announces a mass layoff. At this time, an unexpected situation arises in a project that Qiao Xi Chen is responsible for. Given her own efforts and the help off of her colleagues, Qiao Xi Chen manages to smooth over the difficulties and also gets into a relationship with Jian Yi Fan.
When her boss returns, Qiao Xi Chen is transferred out of her position yet she does not panic nor does she become impatient since she is simply focused on doing her job well. In the meantime, Ji Nan Jia's company is facing an operational crisis due to changes in market demand which leads her to explore new business opportunities. Xu Yan decides to stay in Beijing for her boyfriend who's a Beijing native, yet their relationship hits the rocks due to their differences in consumption methods.
