One of the best dramas I watched this year. I have watched almost all modern dramas this year and this comes out on top. It is a raw, gritty, and bittersweet romance exploring childhood trauma and resilience. It is a slow-burn masterpiece that perfectly captures deep yearning and complex, imperfect characters.
I need someone to spoil me with what is going on with Zhang Bin character. what is he up to that involves the…
The Smuggling Syndicate: Zhang Bin is the owner of Good Luck Logistics (and Haoyun), which serves as a front for illicit smuggling and counterfeiting operations. Zhang Bin uses the ML but has never fully trusted Chen Yi. He strategically needs Chen Yi because of his connections and physical capabilities. The ML's Stance: Chen Yi only interacts with Zhang Bin and circles back into this dangerous orbit to protect Miao Jing. Chen Yi has secretly been working as a police informant/witness for years regarding the arson and smuggling cases, and uses his proximity to Zhang Bin to keep tabs on the operation. Miao Jing returns to Teng City to take a corporate audit job at Good Luck Logistics. Behind her official work, she is actively hunting down records and investigating the corruption tied to her mother's past disappearance. . She also starts noticing suspicious activity within her own audit team. When Leader Ding submits worksheets out of protocol, Miao Jing suspects an internal leak ("rat") and rushes to confront him.
I watched the whole thing. 37 episodes. Loved the acting , the story line and cinematography. I feel karma didn't bite hard enough to be satisfying. Wanted Guyan , the handbag witch and Mr. Fan to suffer more. Yes, I am unapologetically petty. Forgive me. As for the FLs best friend, she suffered the consequences of her actions but why did she make both the men wait for her? She could have told them she wasn't coming! I suppose the FL and ML will find happiness this way, by loving each other, but giving each other space. Overall a thought provoking drama with flawed characters. In life too, no one is perfect, I guess! We are spoilt by the usual C drama or K drama where men and women are oh so perfect that we find it difficult to accept reality in dramas like this!
All said and done, the actor who plays Gu Yan is a really good actor. At first he was quite diffident , shy and lacked confidence. Head bent, never sure of himself. We could see his gradual transformation. From the previews I watched, it looks like he is going to get even more arrogant and condescending. Hats off to the actor for making all of us loath him!
When will the misery end? For the leads and for us? Haven't they sunk deep enough? We don't have too many episodes left. Even if the leads just remain friends, I want retribution. I want Guyan and the evil one to fall into despair. Is that too much to ask? Why the hell is the mistress always consoling the evil one. Doesn't she knows that her bestie is suffering because of that lady?? Right now I can't stand that young assistant. For that trick she tried to pull with He Han!
Slightly off topic. Have you all watched ' The glamorous night'? It has a business background, ambition, love, lust, infidelity and what not. I enjoyed watching it. It is available on YouTube for free. It is as intense as this one , but delves a bit more into business.
Ep 28 and 29 had my blood boiling ! For so many reasons. Guyan's arrogance. Him making He Han driving him around, then making him wait for an hour or more. The pony tailed, hand bag carrying bitch's evil ways . The mistress helping the evil bitch. Guyan making the FL beg. Then refusing her Gu Yan keeping his phone on so that the evil bitch can listen in. And last but not the least. That assistant. What the??? She makes a move on the ML! Was glad about a few things. Guyan getting hit. The bitch having a cyst or whatever That the ML rejected the little seductress.
