How it's used
Carries a sense of being won over by someone's character or ability, often after initial skepticism or conflict. It implies a deep, internal shift in attitude rather than just a superficial compliment. It is a formal term that sounds slightly more literary or serious than everyday words like 佩服.
Examples
His professional performance really impressed me.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe being impressed by simple things like a good meal or a nice view, as it specifically relates to human character, skill, or conduct.
