Can't keep a good girl down

Warning: Spoilers
A "refresh man" is basically someone who punches the clock but doesn't put in any real effort into excelling at what they do. Yu Tang (Joanne Tseng) was head of her class and one that would have been considered likely to succeed. She is a secretary and anticipates continuing her career in the lead/executive secretary roles. Ji Wen Kai (Aaron Yan) was a frenemy in high school and was a very low achiever. As life happens, Ji Wen Kai reappears in Yu Tang's life as the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the cosmetic company she works for. When Yu Tang fails to perform to his standard he does not hesistate to reassign her to a team of "refresh men" which is a humiliation for Yu Tang. She feels it is revenge but grows determined to succeed at all costs.

I loved this one - one of my favorites. The CEO was so arrogant and mean to the female lead in the beginning I thought man I really am not going to like this guy. But then you start to understand and realize it is not what it seems. As you understand their past - the two grew up together - the story just continues to evolve. Joanne Tseng and Aaron Yan have great chemistry. The team he puts her with are all a bit eccentric but evolve into great friends and a strong team. In fact nearly episode is like watching an episode of friends once she is placed with the team. For me this drama had a very slow start but once it started going I had a hard time turning it off even when I knew I needed to get some sleep. There is, of course, love triangles and you fall in love with those characters as well and feel their heart ache. But it is great and entertaining love story.

Refresh man review
misswritercreates7 March 2019
Refresh man is currently on Netflix as of 3/2019. It's a great show if you enjoy dramas. I enjoyed it very much. The actors did great jobs and the storyline was good! Held up with the drama all the way to the end. Wasn't too long or dragging once you realized who was gonna get theirs at the end. It's well worth the wait and angst for a few episodes. You won't be disappointed. And also let's face it, mr. Aaron's great in anything he Stars in!
