A nice light watch. Beautiful people. Nothing too dark and sinister or heavy. One of the tamest action dramas I’ve ever seen. But, I like it.
The FL character is smart, extremely smart—a business and weaponry genius. Quite a fascinating twist! The FL character is a thoroughly admirable woman. That part of the character, Angelababy is nailing and portraying beautifully. While Angelababy’s trademark gentleness and reserved acting style are lovely and pleasant, they are mildly underwhelming for this role. This role instead requires someone dynamic and highly charismatic. Her character started off with some oomph in the action scene of episode 1, but progressively became the subdued and calm Angelababy that we’ve seen time and time again. Nevertheless, I am enjoying her story very much.
Song Wei Long is dashing and charming and handsome (as per usual) and doing far better in the role than I expected. Is he the rough, gruff, hardass that the character is supposed to be? Kinda sorta, but not entirely. He’s definitely more the gentleman than the kickass, cunning general. But, still, he’s doing well enough in the role to make it believable that he’s capable of being the Wolf Leader.
Overall, a solidly entertaining watch. I’m hooked every episode. The slowburn romance is building nicely with multiple other interesting subplots and side characters turning this into in my new favorite drama after “Flourished Peony.”
Weak chemistry. No sizzle. Interesting story though—unexpected reveals. Second leads more compelling. Too many unnecessary filler scenes. Unattractive makeup and styling. Garish sets. Gave this a chance because of Bai Lu and the director, but just not my cup of tea.
ML character is a total simp. 😂Not smart at all. The actor himself isn’t doing much for me either. Maybe it’s this hokey plot. This drama is so cringy. Nice seeing this actress in a FL role though. I have seen her in supporting roles many times. She’s a total baddie in this drama with that innocent, scheming, provocative vibe. She’s so beautiful and her acting is good.
JCY is incompetent. He doesn’t have insight enough to look after the people close to Lu Yan, like her mother??! He just continues to underestimate WP and fails to grasp the situation thoroughly.
I loved the acting of weng peng i pitted him i cursed him he was so good...✌🏻
I was thoroughly moved too. The actor nailed it! I will be following all his dramas from now on because he’s good. That scene where he was pounding the pavement with his fists in grief—OOMMGGG. Excellent acting. I felt so bad for him, not excusing his murderous path of course, but I do sympathize with him. Oddly, I have more sympathy for him, a murderer, than his mother who abandoned him in the first place. I wish he could’ve overcome his pain and resentment in the proper way. His story is the most compelling out of this whole drama.
The plot is nonsensical. I was amused at first by cops not being able to take down a petite woman. But, the preposterousness of a mom leaving her child with an abuser is just too much. What mother is going to do that? Also, she’s married to a cop. How could she not ask him for help to get her son back? How in the world could he not do a bit of investigating and discover her son’s whereabouts? This is ridiculous. Everyone keeps telling the mother it’s not her fault and her husband was even cracking jokes to lighten the mood. It is her fault! She didn’t do enough for her son. She got herself out of a bad situation, but left her son in it and happily deluded herself that he was doing fine without digging any further to verify. I’m annoyed with this development. I was hoping to understand the mother, but I have no sympathy for her.
I’m baffled by this Bofeng story line. This chance connection between Bofeng and JCY is wild. Or, was their crossing paths somehow forced by WP? Surely he couldn’t manipulate things to that extent, right?
Maybe all info about her past, especially her previous marriage, was kept from JCY. He probably doesn’t even…
They were in different colleges, even though at the same university. It’s not likely their paths would have crossed much, especially the parents. But maybe, in fact, WP did somehow go searching for his mother and discovered the truth of his stepbrother long ago.
She kept harassing the coach. He’s no saint for giving in, but she started it. He told her to go away, yet she persisted. She’s the one who pursued a married man. And that pathetic way of hers that ends up getting bullied—I’m out of sympathy for her.
