Their product concepts were very competitive, and they were able to write the programs and algorithms very quickly, which shows how capable they are. However, they didn't have the capital to buy a 3D printer, which can be really expensive. Initially, SZZ's father said he would provide funding, but he backed out, leaving SZZ in a difficult situation. They decided to go ahead anyway. After all, neither of them was employed at the time. They both had savings. If they had been able to buy the printer on their own, they would have been able to produce prototypes and have a greater chance of securing funding. Without prototypes, it was difficult, and that's how she ended up with Han Ting eventually. Han Ting wrote all kinds of notes on the side of their funding brochure. JX, being the genius she is, saw his brilliant ideas, revised their product concept, and made the product even more robust. When Han Ting read their ideas, he wanted to hire them, but they turned him down because that's just who she is—a tenacious dreamer who won't back down. Trying and failing is how you learn.

SZZ had been thinking about starting his company for a while and been asking JX to review his plans and she helped him made revisions. His parents have money and own businesses. It sounds like he thought he had secured funding from his father. Seems like his father didn't believe him. The father gave him that rooftop building which is way better than most startups have.

JX quitting her job like that was the right thing to do. She'd been treated so badly at work. She reached her boiling point. She only kept that job because of Yichen, she wanted stable job and save up for a flat. She is so capable, I don't' think she should have a problem finding a job, it's just that she's so fed up with working for someone else when she's so capable.

However, given the nature of the field they are in involving patients and hospitals, I think it's very hard for them to go public. Eventually, the best they can do is merge with another company that has the resources. JX's conflicts and issues with HT was more personal than business.

Actually, you can still get funding even it's just an idea, but you have to have connections, but SZZ and JX don't have connections.

Han Ting taught JX so many valuable things based on his years of experience.

Han Ting is the most popular urban drama character in the Q3 list of 2024 on Maoyan.

- MCH believed she secured discounts through her own negotiation skills and not favoritism.
- Unbeknownst to her, her boyfriend secretly helped her get these discounts.
- She later received a kickback list by mistake, which she was unaware of.
- Her boyfriend didn’t believe that she was unaware of the kickbacks.
- He accused her, despite being the one who secretly helped her and caused the situation.
- YZM hired MCH because he knew she was the best person to secure discounts due to her connections, but it was up to her how to handle it. She was up for the challenge.
- Upon discovering the kickbacks, YZM kept it confidential due to the sensitive nature of the information and identified Dennis as the culprit.
- YZM acted correctly by removing Dennis from the company.
- The boyfriend’s father is corrupt and collaborating with Dennis. Hence, he lost the bid.

If she hadn't been there, they wouldn't have known that the kick back was accidently sent to her. That is why YZM told her she didn't' need to be there, but she shows up. Then He Dong was supposed to get rid of her, but she insisted. I'd have to go back to rewatch it, but I recall YZM told her she didn't' need to be at the meeting. Since she showed up, he gave her some menial work I think so she can be done and gone, but she insisted on staying. No one used her as a scapegoat. The only thing YZM did wrong was that he should have treated MCH different from other employees because she's not just his employee, she's now his family, her non biological sister through grandma and she and YZM were becoming more than just profession relationship, she mentioned that she thought she and he "were going to take care of grandma together", so she's like family now to him, but he remained ruthless toward her because he never understood what a family is. But later he starts to change his attitude toward her. But if she was just another employee, no one special to him, then he did nothing wrong at all, and being ruthless is not a crime nor immoral if you didn't do anything illegal nor purposely hurt anyone. People hire others for their connections all the time, and usually those people know it, but they are ambitious and want the job, in this case, MCH did tell YZM when she took the job, that she would achieve results without any conflict of interest with her relationship to her boyfriend. The kickback list once YZM found it, he has a fiduciary duty to the company. He has to keep it confidential.
Even grandma who recognized MCH potential to be a fierce businesswoman wrote in her letter to YZM that he having had the education abroad and worked abroad for a global company for so many years and so brilliant a businessman, she said to him that MCH lacks these skills and she hoped that he would help her to manage the hotel together, which is why he finally decided to let go. YZM gave up a huge promotion at Swiss HQ that would be steppingstone to going all the way to the top of the game for him. Instead, he chose to take the promotion that Zhang was going to get in charge of Southeast Asia area, that is actually a step down for his goals and ambitions but because of grandma, he changed. We can admire MCH but it would be quite arrogant to think that she didn't lack the experience that YZM has. YZM recognized the hotel was in bad financial shape. He helped MCH. I recall he gave her confidence and encouraged her do weddings because he used to live there growing up, he understood the hotel business, and he saw the style of the hotel what it could offer. MCH was going to take a lot of incoming internally and externally and have to learn from all that. She can learn but time was critical due to poor finances of the hotel, and YZM was helpful. She was also dealing with her mom at the ame time.

YZM offered her the job, knowing her connections would be beneficial—a common business practice. She initially declined, citing a conflict of interest. However, he persuaded her to accept, appealing to her ambition and the challenge it presented. If she disliked the work, she could quit, but her drive led her to take the position. MCH promised to secure the pricing discount without any conflict of interest, and YZM agreed to let her handle it her way.

YZM never used MCH as a scapegoat. He got hold of the kickback list by sheer luck due to a mistake by the person who sent it to MCH. She didn’t check what was sent to her, leading to her mistake. YZM found the list, which contained damaging information about his company. As an executive, he had a fiduciary responsibility to report it. He didn’t tell her about the kickback, as it was now confidential information.

If MCH discovered the kickback list, she would have an ethical obligation to report it to YZM or another appropriate authority within the company. Corporations require employees to watch ethics videos, and after watching them, employees are obligated to follow the practices or risk getting fired.

In fact, YZM tried to protect her, knowing her presence would put focus on her. If she hadn’t shown up as he advised, she wouldn’t have been accused because they had no idea how YZM got hold of the kickback list. He told He Dong to get her out of there.

YZM never had real family bonds before. In his confrontation with MCH afterwards, their exchange of words and his facial expressions show that he felt the weight of her words when she said, “I thought you and I would take care of grandma together.” In that moment, he realized MCH is not just anyone; he needs to tread differently with her. When he talked to his grandma, he explained that he was just trying to teach MCH a lesson, but she advised him that his methods are not always the right approach.

YZM was always trying to help MCH in the background. He was cold and ruthless in the beginning, but he has his own compelling story too.

The FL is good at building robots but not at makeup or style. She relied on her friend LiLi for advice on these matters. Later in the drama, after she went to Germany for 6 months, her sense of style improved. It also marked a turning point in her life, and her style reflected it.

Who is LYN? No one in this drama has pancake on their face. Xu Kai does not wear a wig nor is there anything wrong with his hairline. I didn't notice heavy makeup on male lead. As you pointed out, these are "unnecessary" things.

This is probably the first comment to suggest the ml under 30 in a modern drama is wearing a wig, but for Xu Kai dramas, this is normal.

Someone said it will take 100 days to shoot these 12 episodes. Can that be right?

Such a sweet and lovely face!

I thought HT was pretty nice when he told Tang Song to let it go and just take down her phone no. and then he tried to protect her from ZD and men who hit on her and accused her.
HT has been through many startups and seen many dreams shattered. It is precisely that he knew JX so well that he became an invaluable mentor. He already knew her personality, how she works, her goals and aspirations, her brilliant mind, her tenacity, and what kind of person she is inside. If HT seemed mean, he didn't want JX to become corrupted in business like so many have. That's why when she made it sound like she and HT have a relationship, to get a printer, he was very disappointed.

It's a Chinese drama.

Responsibilities and accountability come early in life back then.

The mother in this drama is a caricature of many Chinese moms yet has realistic traits. I was watching some clips again, and I really do like the actress who played the mother. People may not like the character's personality flaws but I think she did an awesome job portraying it. The personality traits in this drama are true to life in Chinese culture.

Ok maybe not bossy but animated. I used to watch Everybody Loves Raymond, a hilarious comedy TV series centered around over-nurturing and overbearing Italian mom.

MCH’s mother is not unique. Aren’t Italian mothers often portrayed as bossy and loud too?

The grandmother also had a significant impact on MCH and YZM. For me, the grandmother was the voice of the drama.

The title translates directly to “800 Meters Radius,” which is about the size of Central Park in New York City. This suggests that the story is highly intense and concentrated, with all the action taking place within a relatively small but significant area.

Douban Synopsis: "The old things that have been opened up again, and the evidence of new cases that continue to surface, have opened the curtain of human emotional entanglements. What plunged them into the abyss was disagreement? Is it temptation? Or love?"

This suggests a complex and emotionally charged narrative where past events and new evidence intertwine, leading to deep human conflicts and relationships. It sounds like the drama will explore the darker sides of human nature and the intricate web of emotions that drive people to their breaking points. It sounds like a challenging role that require a lot of depth and nuance from the actors to bring these intense and multifaceted characters to life.

I noticed in the Reviews, users who dislike the drama are twice as active in marking low-rating reviews as helpful compared to those who like it. This is reflected in double the average number of helpful clicks on lower-rated reviews. Perhaps this is common.
