Li Hui Zhen (Dilraba Dilmurat, Qu Zhihan) was pretty, kind and feisty in school, always coming to the rescue of chubby Bai Haoyu (Sheng Yilun, Zhou Baizhen) from bullies. They became close friends but parted ways when Haoyu went to the US with his dad. Twelve years later, Haoyu, who has gotten over his chubbiness and has become handsome and successful in his career, gets in touch with her and asks that they meet. At the appointed meeting place, Haoyu does not recognize Hui Zhen and instead mistakes her pretty best friend Xia Xiao (Li Xirui ) for her. Dismayed at Haoyu's mistake caused by her less than appealing outward appearance, Hui Zhen begs Xiao to pretend to be her. Thus starts a rather uncomfortable (mistaken-identities trope is not a favorite of mine) though intriguing drama. The discomfort level rises when Haoyu turns out to be the new boss in Hui Zhen's new job.
What kept me engaged was the second male lead Lin Yimu (Zhang Binbin), Hui Zhen's playful though mysterious officemate whose declarations of love Hui Zhen never takes seriously, mistaking them for pranks. I love how he likes her despite her appearance. Their interactions are delightful. I would have preferred them to end up together since Haoyu had Xia Xiao anyway.
