i wonder how long he'll be able to keep his mouth shut before the guilt utterly gets to him.
teaser for e21 is simply wtf? is he encouraged to fight for the position or that guy is there to help him lose money effortlessly. the lad is obviously outside of agreement and doesn't care what Ms Xin thinks.

minimum wages are generally very close unemployment benefits, which should be just enough for you not to starve. if you're a type of person who is content to sleep in a company shed somewhere and be fed in a company canteen without any other prospects. that's just for now, i doubt it'll work out well long term.

regardless, he does a calculation in e2 how much 5K is worth in that fictional city and how much it worth there.

there's no hope in hell he'll get a job as a CEO anywhere else.

dont forget he is also paying off mortgage (which normal person on minimum wage anywhere can't handle). yeah there's one person keeps saying "oh 5K is awesome". yet they keep showing that he is always broke.

hey, she also chuckled.. in hilarious way. everything was brilliant about that scene.

how good is 8.6? i see congratulations were being thrown around when it was 9.2.

They are actually 2 people for real:

great start to a day cheers 😁

Does anyone know who plays Feifei (the girl who couldn't get a taxi and stayed in the phone booth)?

oh thanks. i was wondering what's the story behind it was.

haha yeah i thought it would be hard but i think they'd have a fair stock of translations for those poems.

not sure if you've seen e16 but Chit & Chat are the two writers. it's funny by itself because of who those writers are.

but now I watched it second time and listened how these names are pronounced: Chi-Chi & Cha-Cha. now I'm thinking please please get screenwriter with the name Chu-Chu 😆(i believe name Chu-Chu means "pretty girl", based on subs in imperial coroner_

quickly checked salaries for game devs in Shenzhen area, 5K is just above entrance rate. but i see some salaries which are around 58.33K and up to 83K (per month) not sure of the specifics. anyway his 5K is forever no salary increases etc., and 5K itself is not far from the minimum wage so he's kinda of earning salary that a bus driver would get. so he is already lying to his parents about his financial situation what if decides to get married. how is he going to explain to his wife where's "the rest" of the money?

e14 was pretty much about him trying to get a different job. and the reality was that he doesn't have the necessary skills outside of his current arrangement. eventually he'd grow and yeah there are some long term prospects to quit again and pick up something else. but i dont any company giving him 1M to join their company at senior level. first question would be wth did you do in Teng Da for you to be kicked out.

it's not that absurd when i think about it. Sima has enough cash and he is willing to lose what's invested. ML's spending is kept in check by Ms Xin and the loss is predictable more or less. By arranging it this way Sima pushes him to select projects which bring benefit to society but no one would pick. So in a way he removed the fear of losing everything by making it the objective. anyway it kind of makes sense to me alright.

Chit & Chat 😆brilliant,.

I would've seen ML as eunuch in Go Princess Go but I have no recollection of him at all. most others even those in small roles I would've seen a few times as super-support characters in costume dramas. probably because i saw quite a few dramas produced by that production team and obviously they would be bringing their crew.
i think they do great stuff, but again that screenwriter-duo ... NPNG even starts with a retrospective narrative just like YYY (not to mention poster style). but pace, plot, character dev ... everything is so much better here. so hopefully the ending will be as well 🤞

i got a few people who give me heads up to check something out. also, i got a few accounts so i just check the latest. it works 😆

i'm lucky enough to start during "dotcom boom" so many tengda stories don't feel too far fetched and some oddly familiar 🤣. of course so do a few from sky fire.

i picked up this show coz i saw the guard from MHH playing "the lonely road" can't remember if it was a teaser, trailer or i clicked on the end of e1. and that was it. i found out that Lin Wan is Lin Yun only when she went to her parent's house for the new year. that's when i bothered to check. but it's the first time i see her in modern drama. anyway i'm sucker for cameos and this show has plenty 🤣

yeah i'm loving the show. a lot of nostalgia and a sprinkle of ptsd 🤣i hope they dont turn it angsty.

but no the poster does not work for me at all. i only noticed it yesterday when i was bored and started looking through photos and thought "wait what"? and i guarantee if i saw that poster on wetv initially i would've missed this gem.

well, e14 wasn't as bad as i imagined, still tough watch.
at least someone is thinking to ask ms xin a few questions.

are you sure my previous post was about my wanting to know who he ends up with?

that's what our lengthy interaction in this thread with Marcus is about.

he says this is what happened.

i agree with him that it happens, but doesn't have to be the case in this particular instance.

so, the answer is yes. it could be.
