Think it is a commendable feat that the script/plot touches on a lot of realistic issues faced by women climbing the ladder in professional and corporate workplaces whilst balancing their life outside of work. It’s quite surprising as much as it is over-the-top/dramatic…. But the topics touched upon are quite real especially in traditional and closed Asian countries even developed ones.
The building + street of the law firm looks so….. right. Reminds me of Wall St actually. Esp all the high ceilings etc. Wonderful choice, the set is so pretty though it is too….. chic and colourful for law firms, that bit is kinda unrealistic….. it’s a little too playful. So is some of Qin Shi et. al’s wardrobe.
Unpopular opinion but I don't hate the second male lead (TJH).
Same! It’s endearing in a way, and I actually do know of a couple who broke up after going out for 7 yrs for similar reasons. Like his mother just doesn’t agree and dislikes her. And they broke up when discussing about the wedding etc.
I think the actor nailed the role though, and I can understand why there is still feelings. Because aside from the mother there was nothing actually wrong with the relationship itself. But of course I also think it is a tad ridiculous that the dude can’t manage his mother and it took 7 yrs to realise it.
But the crime plot was disappointing though, it’s kinda weak actually….. I’m even reading the novel now…
Because the scene didn’t really flow smoothly, last 2 episodes were overly condensed/edited… My heart is in knots because there are so many unanswered questions even though I deduced a lot of them already….. I’m actually struggling to understand why XYN went through all the trouble of staging his own suicide, coz they never even gave the confirmation it was a suicide…. So manyyy questions and things left half hanging….
I got wot he meant….. he is someone who always likes to be the one to decide and to be in control…. So as…
Coz of wot her daughter said to her. They cut everything so short, but she would have been quite surprised to hear her daughter say that he has a gf… and she must have made the little girl admit to wot she did. So to apologise (which she did at the start) and also explain their history from her perspective. Think she actually also wanted closure and to move on.
In episode 37 ...After meeting with an ruiyan...While the FL was asking ML that if he had others feelings for…
I got wot he meant….. he is someone who always likes to be the one to decide and to be in control…. So as he got more involved with the case, he realised he was also getting more involved with her and wanted to just win…. Indirectly admitting to how he was aware she formed an attachment towards him and he turned a blind eye to it as he manipulated the string of events. It wasn’t only pity…. It was mixed in with guilt and responsibility, and wanting to just beat the other guy, which was her husband. But none of it was romantic.

I personally thought it was a solid HE, but I know Mainland netizens thought the last 2.5 minutes were too forced and they think he actually died.
Yea, I saw that scene…. I don’t think she was imagining things though…. Also, she actually told her cousin-in-law she was going to start a legal advisory firm with a friend…. I’m pretty sure that person is Tan Shen.
Sighs, my heart is still in knots though… damnit. This HE is solid but I’m left in knots for various reasons.
This will definitely be up there as one of my favourite 2022 dramas.
Yesss! Their chemistry is electrifying. Well to me they didn’t screw up the ending, some C-dramas totally get messed up, so thank God for that. But it just wasn’t an awesome ending.

Yea, but it’s also coz they did very well as the built up…. Like the screenwriter really did the thriller plot very well though, which is really rare for Mainland dramas, almost non-existent for those with no drug or police storyline. So naturally there was a lot of expectation….. coz this one had no cops involved, which means the ending is unpredictable. 😍 and the scenario of her losing her husband was actually quite realistic…. The romance wasn’t cliché at all, was so natural and it really is like a lot of modern romances nowadays… so I really felt the thriller plot was as important as the romance…
Hence I thought there was like some super intelligent mastermind plot behind. Lol. But I got conned.
I’m even reading the novel now. I’m sure she must have written something more… but uh….. the novel is kinda different… 🤔
