O.K. Big PLUS for the second episode - they didn't drag the misunderstanding. Wu is the most honest, kindest man. Luo Jie, your vinegar jug is showing. :P
I like that they start every episode with firefighting action. So far, the drama is a lemonade, it's sweet and a good waste of time. Don't expect lifechanging experience.
I hope the writing for the female lead improves, because I find the actress really likable but, so far, she barely has anything to work with.
...if it ends with Kenshin dying of stupid illness which even the manga author hated , I don't want it. Though…
Thank you. It's just that I mixed my Kenshin OVAs (it has been 20 years after all) and thought about Reflection (he dies) instead of Trust and Betrayal which is where he met Tomoe. That's a relief.
Solid first episode. First impression: firefighting parts are better than anything else, based on two interactions (one by phone) the chemistry between the leads still isn't there. But, early days... Gong Jun is handsome, Zhang Hui Wen is cute, hopefully it will get better.
I can see myself watching for firefighting parts alone. Based on a single case, they are realistic and the team is likable.
From ZZH, we see the initial shock of seeing WKX alive, the realization of what he has done to himself, the slow…
One example was New Year dinner with Chengling. Watch both of their faces when the boy starts talking and they think he's sad because he lost his family especially Zhang Zhehan's. And then minute changes in their expressions when he says that he is actually happy. The first time you watch, you whole experience is: LOOK FOUND FAMILY! AAAAAAH! But, on re-watch you see the subtleties. The actors were all exceptional.

I adore this episode. Two of my favorite moments: WKX guilty, contrite smile at ZZS. Also when ZZS 'love taps' WKX face and you can see the suppressed anger, he could and probably wanted to hit him, but the relief is too real. Moments like this is why I love this drama. I am re-watching it at snails pace (one episode every couple of days) and I am discovering more and more moments like these.
I just googled "word of honor Gu Xiang" and just when I wanted to typ "and Cao Wei Ning" behind it, google spoiled…
I'm sorry, this was spoiled for me too. But, later, I was grateful, if I didn't know, the angst would have killed me. This way, I was able to prepare myself. It was still tough. One advice, if you have another question, maybe is safer to ask here than to google.
Re-watching episode 23 from the perspective of what happened later is heartbreaking: Wen Kexing telling Cao Weining how, being child himself, he burned Gu Xiang's mouth first time he tried to feed her and she only smiled because she was afraid he would leave her and Cao Weining swearing on his life that he would never let her down. All of it just tugs at your heartstrings.
I will wait for the others to see this movie, because...
...if it ends with Kenshin dying of stupid illness which even the manga author hated , I don't want it. Though considering who the author turned out to be, that is not a recommendation, yet I still don't want it.
Yup, I always hated the hypocrites, so I like imagining strangling them like Lao Wen does to White Grim Reaper. When you hear the crunch, that's full Lao Wen. :D
I am slowly re-watching the drama (yes, again) and I have come to conclusion that heroes' conference episodes (15, 16) are the most boring episodes in the entire show. Also, the hypocrisy makes me want to go full Lao Wen on them. Too bad I don't look as good in red eyeliner, lol.

Angry A-Xu is incredibly sexy. :D
