Li Zan and Song Ran's moonlight dance against the remains of the ruins was picturized beautifully! The details and the budding feelings was cute to watch .
Chen Zhe Yuan in the military uniform is all things handsome! He is good at his craft. One can tell the difference between his characters based on his body language - Duan Jiaxu, Lin Shobai and Li Zan.
The soundtrack is amazing, and the cinematography of the show is breathtaking! I'm in love with the beautiful frames. The leads are good—Li Zan has a mysterious aura, always calm and in control, but he allows himself to be vulnerable for a fraction of a second after the demining is done.
As for the female lead, I wish her role had a more serious side, especially when she is on the field. I liked the preview of episode 9, particularly the bar scene where they let their guard down—it looks natural. It seems like Curly and Ben’s storyline will culminate with Curly calling him "Ge" before tragedy strikes.
I love the fluttering feelings, especially from the male lead’s perspective, and I hope the drama focuses more on his trauma and experiences in the warzone.
The only issue I have is the leads flirting over a water bottle and apples in a danger zone. The breakfast scene, martial arts scene, her applying ointment on his neck and the white olive tree mirage scenes were so well done. The cinematographer and camera man deserve praises.
Lin Shobai's energy in the ceremony scene was infectious. He looked like a happy child. Major Kudos to Chen Zheyuan for taking up the role and portraying the shades of the character to perfection.
The climax of the anthrax case was action-packed, and the sequence was absolutely amazing! Every character had a hand in taking down Shrike and his plan. Xu Wei, despite all his darkness, always retained a sliver of humanity when it came to Lin Shobai. His heroic death, choosing the right side in the end, was fitting. Jin Yan’s role was crucial too, even though she ended up infected and injured, slipping into a coma. I really don’t see any romantic connection between her and Shobai—they grew up together and care for each other deeply, but it feels completely platonic. Shrike had completely lost it—there wasn't an ounce of humanity left in him by the end. His downfall was fitting, but I do wish he hadn't jumped off the building and had been caught instead. That said, the actor played the role brilliantly!
Lin Shobai, though, wow! His character growth was remarkable. The belief speech he gave at the end really hit hard, and his breakdown over Xu Wei’s death had me in tears. His scene with Director Lu in the car was phenomenal too—I adore the bond they’ve formed. From trust issues to brotherhood, they’ve come so far. Lu looked so proud of Shobai during the oath-taking ceremony. Shobai has become Lu’s Huzi, and Lu will be Shobai’s Xu Wei.
Zheng Lanting is absolutely ruthless! It’s like he’s made of stone, completely heartless with zero regard for human lives. The only vulnerability Xu Wei has left is his family, and while Lin Shobai was once a part of that, he’s not anymore. But after the attack, there’s no way Xu Wei is going to stay silent. Director Lu really knows Shobai well, and their scene together was so intense. And Huzi… what a tragic end! My heart broke. I wish he could’ve been saved. The hospital being empty at that crucial moment has me thinking—maybe the doctors were taken into hiding by Xai? He was the only one there, or perhaps they heard the gunshots and ran for cover. Either way, it’s the only explanation that makes sense. Such a devastating loss.
danaged organs. Oh my poor Li Zan!
