my gut tells me Xu Kai is slaying this role! His performance is beyond my expectation after ep. 8. The appearance, demeanor, expressions, the body language, his use of his voice has exceeded my expectations, it's really good. For Han Ting who is always in control, XK not only gives him the authoritative, commanding, confident, arrogant, intimidating tones but also there is a deliberate and timely way of how he delivers his thoughts and speech which matches that controlling and perfection in Han Ting's personality. His subtle and nuanced acting is very deep in this role, so many micro expressions especially with his eyes, and even his use of his voice carries subtle and nuanced tones. Even his walk has air of HT. His stride is powerful and quick.
I'm very impressed because this is his first attempt. XK said he had regrets; I can only imagine what perfection is to Xu Kai.
Ep 8 HT sitting in that chair at JX startup, how he looks so perfect and exquisite has the air of Han Ting. It's an ugly chair and the room is dim and hazy, perhaps that's why his figure stand out, it's the one perfect thing in the ugly room.
"In business, you're either a friend or enemy.""Friendship is Friendship. Business is Business"
But I think when it comes to Ji Xing, he will go against his own principle, and he cannot bear to destroy her. Does he invest in her company to compete with his cousin or to save Ji Xing, or both?
You can get financing but how much are you willing to give up? When you are desperate, they want more. Ji Xing is not willing to just sell her software to make a fortune. She is ambitious to create a real company and maintain majority voting rights.
HT knew in his heart from JX speech in college that she won't accept his cousin's offer because she is idealistic, and her ambitions are not about making as much money as she can. So he betted on that.
In Eps 7, when his friend told him that Han Yuan was looking for startup company in 3D printing with the explanation…
Oh I just watched Ep. 8 the scene that HT's assistant told him that Han Yuan is interested in JX startup and if she accepts offer, then he HT is going to have to eventually destroy her. It didn't seem to dawn on him until his perceptive assistant said it.
I don't think HT's cousin, Han Yuan knows anything about JX, right?
JX doesn't like Han Yuan's offer because she will buy their software and could replace them.
In the novel, Ji Xing was soon to be 26, in the drama, she is 28. So it's only 2 yrs difference. But she's been working for Zeng Di ever since she graduated from college. This means Zeng Di should know her pretty well.
Source: Douban character analysis: Ji Xing is rigorous and serious in her work, has her own pursuits and ideals, will not be easily assimilated, and can firmly protect her rights and interests in the face of workplace harassment. Ji Xing is a character, she has the workplace experience of most migrant workers, and she herself is like a sun, with a tenacious core that warms people! She is like who we used to be, and what we want to be in the future.
Beautiful cool sister Li Li, it seems that most people have a maverick dressed amazing friend like Li Li in their lives, they seem to have a sense of distance, but after real contact, you will find that it is also a cute girl, Li Li and her best friend get along with the sense of relaxation, and the usual work of the professional cool want to compare, this only internal contrast is very poignant.
Tu Xiaomeng, a lively and noisy image, she is not too similar to my best friend who loves to laugh in reality, that little mouth keeps honking every day, and when she mistakenly revealed Ji Xing's old bottom in front of Han Ting, she simply played my best friend who was confused, and the mutual confrontation with Lu Linjia was very interesting!
The excellent and domineering Han Ting, unlike the strong who appeared in the past, Han Ting is not just pretending to be handsome, he is really handsome, he made his debut on the plane and talked about the efficiency of the directors, and he showed his skills as a boss before he landed, including when Han Ting faced Ji Xing being sexually harassed in the workplace, he did not choose to abandon his job and protect people behind him, but sent assistants to guard Ji Xing's side at all times without delaying his own schedule; As a superior, even in the face of Ji Xing, who is anxious to find investors, he still retains his own investment philosophy, and after watching these episodes, you will really find that handsomeness is only the least worthwhile advantage of him!
Shao Yichen loves his girlfriend at the same time, he also has his own ideas while giving his girlfriend money help, not blindly supporting, the logic behind the behavior is there, he hopes that Ji Xing can see the reality clearly after his efforts, whether it is for entrepreneurial reactions or getting along with couples, he has his own thoughts, not a single tool image of a man, but a full portrayal of the image, the thoughtfulness of adults, weighing the pros and cons is particularly real.
Every character in this drama has bright spots, and there is also a real state of life, in this drama, not only the male and female protagonists have full and real character creation, but what is more valuable is that each character has a closer to reality side, and you can see that every supporting character is also working hard to live their own life, under such a group portrait interpretation, CP is not only the only attraction of the series, in short, I am very surprised!
