Toooomeeee

Just wanted to drop by to say I agree with you… I didn’t sense any hatred in your posts…there are many such posts here mind you..but yours was not one of them.

I think everyone is entitled to their own opinion and to share them here. Even criticism that are well founded and not malicious should be allowed to be shared here without being attacked. (I’ve come across some here that spun off out of control into personal attacks and even dragged in religion! That is just so sad and shameful. To vilify others over a drama? Seriously? Anyways, I digressed…). Genuine and constructive criticism is what fuels improvements. I believe even the actors themselves welcome them so that they get directions to improve their craft.

So please continue to share your thoughts and views here and in similar forums.

Yes. They were smuggling illegal govt-sanctioned raw material that is very toxic. ZB is one of the mastermind behind the illegal trafficking. The audit team discovered discrepancies between the volume of goods (stuff toys) that were transported and delivered to retailers versus the number of trucks mobilised to make this delivery (or the total number of runs the trucks were doing in a given period).

CY had consistently turned down working for ZB after his return from his traumatic 3-years in Jin Country but eventually, he agreed to be a manager only to be in the same location as MJ to keep an eye on her and to protect her.

🫢🤣 And all this while I was thinking to myself what a sweet and kind soul you were—not only entertaining my post, which was so obviously and spectacularly off-topic, but even trying to salvage it by somehow making it fit the conversation again! 🤣

Yes the audit lasts throughout the drama but honestly it didn’t bother me one bit because the focus was still on our leads…ok maybe my focus was on the leads hahah… but essentially they were always together audit or no audit, and working towards the same goal.

What I can’t stand are those dramas where the couple split up for episodes on end… or they misunderstand each other so badly that they hated or didn’t love each other for some parts. Here, no such thing - steadfast loyal love all the way.

The other thing I’m super super thankful for is that even though CY was surrounded by vice & villain he didn’t once cross over to the dark side. Not even once. His morale compass is strong & he’s very smart & steady. So don’t give up this drama please. It’s well worth your time.

I just realised my earlier post was mistakenly posted as a reply to your original post above. 🫢🫢 I was responding to someone else who was complaining that MJ is annoying.

Anyways, since I posted here…let me make right my error and respond to your posts please…

Yes CY is that type of self-sacrificing protective love interest. He got into this muddle right from the start because of her too. So from an audience pov, our hearts ache for the poor guy. However, rest assured that MJ being the direct cause & beneficiary of his whole plight and poor state aches (heart) much much more than us….to the extent that she too would risk her life, limb & job to save him.

I get your frustration that he’s diving deeper n deeper into the lion’s den as she is also wandering nearer and nearer it through the audit. But here’s the thing, they have to both delve deep enough to find the root to the problem and then be able to uproot all the dangers, emotional & physical barriers and everything else that was keeping the 2 leads apart for the past years. And the bonus - in the course of their root-hunting (aka audit days), they spend a lot of quality time together, find out more about each other - their past 6 years, their real feelings towards each other, etc.

So yes, the audit parts are long but they are necessary ( to get to the root of the prob without which there would be no real eternal HE for our couple) and enjoyable (lots of couple interactions and revelations).

So best not to ask - When it will all this be pushed through… Enjoy the process…. It is not repetitive….

oh did I get mixed up with the scenes & episodes? Ok I’ll have to go back and re-rewatch! 😅😁

I take it you are rewatching too! Good for you my fellow rabbit hole dweller. 🫢

Oh…I missed that! I need to re-rewatch again! Yay! Haha. Thanks!

Yes and I also noticed that that night (when MJ was annoyed that CY was in Linda’s car) he was tossing and turning in bed and had to down ice-water! But I wondered about the timing of that scene…what had triggered it? He noticed that MJ was jealous? Anyways, it’s really fun rewatching!

Oh? I didn’t think she was behaving like a spoilt brat. I thought she’s cute. I think it’s becoz ZJY has got a face, voice and mannerism that’s difficult to detest. hahaha My tolerance level for her is very high.

What about CY’s relationship with Uncle Zhou!

Why was MJ angry at CY in ep8 that CY had to buy her a gift to apologise? He said he drank too much the day before and shouldn’t have said what he said. What did he say? This was during the meal with Linda and the guys. I didn’t see that CY said anything wrong at all. Is this a lost-in-subtitle situation again?

Oooo……what is this? Is this a promotional video?

Ok I take it all back. I’ve rewatched the musical chair scene I this time I got the purpose. It was deliberate and yes it was planned by CY with the help of Bo! And the purpose was to protect MJ because she was being threatened by some of CY’s fan girls for being his ‘sister’. Now it makes sense. So we were both wrong…. Heheh.

Lucky you! It kinda makes me wonder how much of the subtitles that I’ve read were actually inaccurate….😅

Oh I know which part that is! He gave her a warm drink! But I didn’t hear the announcement haha. I think it’s coz the subtitles didn’t show it. I know the subtitles were wonky for the last few episodes…. Miao Jing became “Babe”.

I’ve also finished the drama but I must’ve missed that. That’s so weird…a bf announcing this type of thing to his gf’s colleague. She shd be mad at him. Hahaha

Is it just me or did anyone else find that scene in the shoe shop odd? - 2 people walk into a shoe shop looking for a pair of white sneakers. The shop assistant recommends a pair and MJ puts it on. She walks around the shop and likes it a lot, but then CY didn’t. So, the shop assistant then goes to them and say “How about this pair of 5 inch high tanned leather stilettos?” Absolutely perfect alternative to a pair of white sneakers! 🤷‍♀️😆🤪

I love this drama! It’s a 9.5/10 for me!

There were some odd bits……small ones…nothing too serious…. Like I really like Uncle Zhou & Wen but I think it is so odd that they became so close to CY and MJ. Maybe the novel developed this relationship better?

I also think it’s odd that Zhang would trust CY enough to let him handle his criminal dealings when CY is so close to Zhou and Zhou is so openly investigating Zhang.

Just before Wen died, she asked CY to hide some stuff in the cistern…. Were they of any use later?

That weird scene when Tuli visited Cen. What was that all about?

That scene towards the end when MJ was thrown down from a height and CY saved her by hanging onto the rope that she was dangling from…. Why did he have to burst all his veins to pull her up when she was like probably only 3 feet from the ground already by then? Wouldn’t it be easier to just lower her down? 😅🫢😆

When?? Which episode?

Yeah I know watcha mean about that scene I just didn’t buy it becoz it looked so ridiculous like it was from an MTV or a Bollywood movie 🫢

Yeah….the only kind of yearning I saw from CY was for ice water and ice face mask….😉

Oh you don’t say…that sisters-musical-chair scene….it totally lost me. I have no idea what the point was all about. So awkward and weird and silly looking. I’ll have to rewatch that scene at least to get the point…even your learned explanation isn’t enough this time.

I think I don’t see the yearning or sexual attention not because of poor acting or directing. It is the China censorship board that is to be blamed. 🫢
