Thank you! JBR really got a sense of style. He can wear anything, looked good in uniform too in The Road Home 😊 In The Early Spring, his sweater already caught my attention: that one looked so high end comfy-casual. Nice to see him choosing it for his role on the Ig video!

You are welcome.
Enjoy the reading in addition to the drama!

please add the link? I already like JBR but might add more liking while waiting for next episodes 😂

He looks slimy-snakey, yes

😂😂😂 .... munching on my cheese biscuits while watching the drama 😂

Yes I raised eyebrows too, gleefully, at the naughty implication 🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

look in Discussions section above : there's a link to the translated version

It is a nice thriller show, underrated. "Wen Peng" played by Wang Tiancheng is a great villain. Sun Qian is pretty (she is playing in currently airing workplace romance The Early Spring, btw). Huang Jingyu is as usual a policeman, but his chemistry with Sun Qian was enough to rumor a second collab in Love Song In Summer, although finally, one month before shooting started on that one, it was Xu Ruohan who was chosen to partner with him in March 2026, in that upcoming drama, for which the story takes place on Kekexili Qinghai-Tibetan plateau: it might still be released this year.
Enjoy!

That good? Hmm, perhaps I ought to read some lines there, then, although I'm looking at too many dramas which hog my leisure time : I just finished the serious Forging Justice and dove into this bouquet filled one (pondering the colors meaning and musing at the Beijing setting - the "Linked Hybrid" compound is imo one of the ugliest additions to the capital skyline, so I am wondering how much sponsorship the drama got there to feature it as the abode of our "cold fish" Luke boss) .

Dabbling with some short vertical ones too, featuring hunks like Wang Nan, Min Jie, Liang Siwei, etc. The market for these short dramas is supposedly under threat, both from sudden pullout from investors and by AI replacements which will replace also perhaps the donghua animated versions of the popular manhua comics. There are still so many short dramas that can be consumed in 2-3 hours more quickly than a proper wedding night, that these dubious candies still have not totally worn out their appeal.

Next, I've gone yesterday through the first 3 episodes of the aviation themed Blossom through the clouds: Fu Mingyu looks more red flag than Luke! But the heroine is not a pushover. (As for actors, I liked both Jing Boran and Miles Wei Zheming in previous dramas, and also Xu Kai in similar theme "ambitious girl growing into empowerment" drama As Beautiful As You).

Being rejoiced as well as distracted by a nice fiction is good, what with all the tragic events, despair, and health threats hammering the real world. Thinking of the victims of the glacier slide in Xizang-Nepal. May their families, friends and acquaintances find reasons to smile still: ; sending my best thoughts to them to recover and for the world to grow and become more harmonious and safe.

or just because some audience automatically equate in their minds "handsome man" +"hierarchical boss" at work and "pretty young woman" +"hierarchical subordinate" with vertical C drama tropes of "overbearing CEO" and "meek and submissive Cinderella", even when 12 episodes don't show them at all in this light.
The boss here accepts the boundaries of the job and of his reluctant flame ; the woman is not unmoved but her sense of propriety and complying with job requirement come first. Annoyingly for those who sigh at the many missed opportunities and even repressed jealous misunderstandings. We got a bear hug motivated by sliding on a shared rope to get rescued from a life threatening event, but pushing off body that gets too near more often than not, and the hot kisses morph into sharing breakfast or medicinal brew to treat a pneumonia! A red flag CEO would not have let his prey off so many times ;
Luke is not a hypocritical people-pleaser, but he does care about his staff and particularly the rookie he got thrown to lead by company rules, despite his initial rejection, so if she is going to fulfill her potential, he needs to lead her with some care but not so much that she be branded as a "favorite".
I'd say green flag hidden under grey wraps disguise (umm was that a pun? lol) Flora is not at risk of becoming a beaten up submissive in a BDSM play or a slave of the (possible, still in the future) in-laws and spouse, in my opinion.

Quite decent!
It dropped a point since, but stays in the "good dramas" crowd rated above 7 for Chinese audiences, and has been taking the laurels as #1 TV and #2 series watched there, two weeks in a row, since August 24, 2026.

Huang Jingyu was probably used for his typecast soldier/police officer reputation, so becoming a young justice department recruit was along the lines. He is good at what he does and humble enough to perform alongside other actors such as those in the drama, without trying to overshadow them. Thus maybe fading beside them, with no grudge, but he still becomes the spark that lit their fuse to shine brightly.

He is also a singer with a pleasant voice who sang solo or alongside famous stars since his debuts. He sang the theme song "Take Care" 《再珍重》 for this drama. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eEbItHmEVlI

Unfortunately, OST music has not been compiled and lyrics have not been translated.. There is only one other original : The Face of Justice,《正义的容颜》 sung by 宗俊涛 Zong Juntao. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63z9pGmSwtA

Several songs in the drama are reprises from old folk or pop songs of the 1980s:
Young Friends Come to Meet《年轻的朋友来相会》;
Chili Chuan 《敕勒川》 a very old folk song adapted from the Northern Dynasties by Zhuang Quan 张全, composer and lyricist ;
Friend《朋友》the Canto song, originally sung by Alan Tam (not to be mistaken for the 朋友 song by Taiwanese singer Wakin Chau 周华健 which is well known since its 1997 release, but is quite different)

It has been released and included in Peachey Blossom's "complete OST" with translations and lyrics. It is 《You Should Know/你该知道》sung by 李长庚 (Li Changgeng). Timestamp 22:56 on the OST video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsJit8X2kZA&t=2071s

And no, although Jing Boran also has been singing elsewhere, he only acts in this drama.

A favorite of mine too. I wrote a Companion piece for that one (housed in discussions section of that drama page) I'd add Zhang Yu to the list of very remarkable actors there, "Mad Dog Yao" Chloe Xie /Xiè Kěyín, funny Lin Boyang as the sister of captain Zheng Bei (Huang Jingyu) teasing Gu Yiran (Wang Ziqi), among the unforgettable ones in the cast.

I tried as well sometime ago, and just got the message 3 hours ago "(rejection) Reason: Thanks for your submission but the title was already updated by another user.

Your notes:
Forging Justice is the international title on iQiyi since airing on August 10
It also appears under this title on the dramawiki page : https://wiki.d-addicts.com/Forging_Justice

Well, now at last, MDL aligns with other information and discussions platforms to give some more complete information. I suppose being bombarded by edits submissions finally woke someone up. The poor moderators informed me some time ago that they are volunteers and overworked, I guess doing work for free because they have time...

yes

Finished watching the sweet tián Tiān Tián 甜田天 drama.

Liked Hú Yītiān Tián Xīwēi 胡一天 田曦薇 as "Jiāng Yúbái" 江逾白 "Lín Zhīxià"林知夏 pair
and the other two couples : "Tāng Tíngtíng 汤婷婷" (Lì Jiāqí 厉嘉琪) + "Duàn Qǐyán" (Xià Hàorán)
and "Jīn Bǎihuì金百慧" (Vivienne Tien/Ān Tián 安沺 ) + "Lín Zéqiū" (Wū Jiākǎi 邬家楷 ) of "ordinary people".

Since this was fairy tale, I would have preferred Shěn Fùxuān 沈负暄 (Lài Wěimíng 赖伟明 ) not to lose his patient and the noodle shop lady "Gāo Yǐyuàn" 高以媛 (Chén Shūjūn 陈姝君) not to suddenly vanish without proper closure. Some repeated flashbacks could be skipped.

The actress who played Xiao Shui the terminally ill patient of Dr Shen Fuxuan (played by Lai Wei Ming), is not listed on MDL but she is on dramawiki.
She is Tian Yu Qing 田宇青 , born 2000-Apr-04.
There is not much more about her person. She has a Douban page with some photos, and a Baidu page which mentions her upcoming three dramas, among which the urban romance drama 大梦想家 Da Meng Xiang Jia "The Big Dreamer" which wrapped filming on January 27, 2025, so might be released by the end of the year. In addition, 代号：迷失 Dai Hao Mi Shi (Codename: Lost) or "Homesick" is listed as an upcoming "interactive drama" in which she'll play the role of "Wen Xin".

better not mention it without spoiler tag if you wish to continue watching there.
