Strong start, I was impressed, but went downhill for me unfortunately. Ending felt rushed and anticlimactic. 8.5/10.
Could have been better.

Well, it would have been all one drama if China didn't have the rules on max episodes.

Can't wait!

I'm excited for this. Lu Yuxiao totally won me over with her performance in My Journey to You, and Hou Minghao was captivating in Fangs of Fortune. I'm sure these two will have sizzling chemistry.

🤣

What is a 29+? 😯

One of the most underrated actresses. I wish she would do more dramas

Has she been taking a break? She did work like nonstop for a few years... I hope she teams up with Zhang Linghe for a future project. Those two would be great together.

Usually men over the age of 20. That's why Manman's little brother Qiao Ci is called A'Ci.

I'm 7 episodes in and I just can't get into it. Meh.

Her name is Qiao Man. In Chinese, to make a cute nickname, you can double a character like Manman, or you can add an A' or 'er. So, A'Man or Man'er. This isn't the same as a courtesy name like Wei Shao --> Zhong Lin.

It's a slow burn romance. They start as enemies, gradually dispel distrust, then build some trust and friendship, gradually become more affectionate. It's hard to pinpoint an exact episode because it's all about the process, but I just finished ep 31 and I'd say they have fully reached that point now.

No, she calls him like his other subordinates do: Nan-zhun which literally translates as male master, and he calls her Nü-zhun: female master. She also occasionally calls him Fu-zhun which is master-husband.

In Ancient China, the nobles had an official name and another name for family and friends. His official name is Wei Shao, but his friends and family call him Zhong Lin.

Shame when people ruin their prospects with criminal behaviour.

Sad times. He will be missed.

I was just asking myself, "I wonder why he hasn't done more C dramas since The Wolf!" After reading the bio updates, now I know... 😲 Whaaat, sounds like a drama villain!

Why hasn't he done more dramas? Business Proposal and Lovers of the Red Sky were very successful, I expected to see much more from him in the last few years. Is it because he was busy founding his own agency or was it struggling to take off?

Hahaha! I get it. I've been living on light dramas for a while, now I'm into a heavy phase. Give me some angst! I'm ready for it!

I think this is one of the best K dramas ever made. Watch it!
