Well said. I don't mind romance, but for a character like Xie Huai An, who have experienced such a tragedy and…
So true. Other than maybe a small side story for a character who isnāt XHA, romance just doesnāt fit this plot. Even the other characters consciously give up love because of the lives they lead. Instead of calling them ānoble idiots,ā like I might in another show, I actually applaud them for sticking to the agenda.
This is not a āscroll your phone while itās onā kind of show. It demands my full attention, and honestly, it deserves it. The details matter, the nuances matter, and the story and characters really pull me in. Even things that happen to minor characters hit harder than expected.
The flashbacks are well doneāthey donāt feel like filler at all, but actually deepen the plot and clear up the backstory. At its core, this is a story about someone completely focused on revenge, so the change of the love interest to his sister makes sense and doesnāt feel out of place.
Iām only on episode 7, but thereās already this heavy, looming sense that the ending wonāt be a happy one. And I expect it.
Jiang Mu drifting was pretty hot too. And her chemistry with Lin Sui š„ The āChinese Girlsā āHandsome Boysā exchange. š„ Iām of course team Jim Zhao but Iām glad Jiang Mu isnāt some lovesick teenager just focused on himā¦ I like her confidence and comfort around other guys too.
I think San Lai played by Fei Qiming had a crush on MuMu in the drama.Because according to the web novel of Speed…
Iām actually not surprised because they have such a great connection between them. Hopefully it is a secret crush and wonāt cause conflict between Sanlai and Jinzhao.
thankfully Iām gonna wait until itās completed and spend Christmas watching it šš. How is it so far…
I envy you for having the patience š
Iām really enjoying this so far. It definitely has a Fast & Furious vibe, right down to the flashy cars and scantily clad girls. Like that franchise, the plot isnāt especially deep or sophisticatedābut it doesnāt need to be. This show knows itās here to entertain, and it does that job well. Thereās also some intrigue around the MLās background.
The leads have great chemistry, and the tension between them isl š š„. The romance is currently on the cute side because the FL is only about 19 and is taking love advice from another teenagerāso yes, she can be a bit childish at times. But that tracks, given how sheltered and pampered she seems to have been. Iām really looking forward to her growth, and Iām sure sheāll mature alongside Jin Zhao, the ML.
Sanlai is the kind of sidekick everyone wishes they had. He treats Jiang Mu like a little sister and is unfailingly kind and loyal. Heās basically that beloved SML who feels almost too good to be true. I too hope he gets a love interestāand right now, my moneyās on the FLās friend, the same one handing out all that questionable teenage romance advice.
What an exhilarating watch! The sizzling chemistry and tension between the leads alone could keep me glued to the screenābut the gritty fight scenes and high-octane races elevate the show.
I like Estherās character so far: a little naĆÆve, but smart and grounded. And He Yu? That good-boy-gone-bad energy is unapologetically sexy. Add to the mix - Mike Angelo!
Iām only on episode 3, and yet the yearning heās already showing for her.... The way he canāt stand to see her cry, and how he softens every time she calls him āgeāā¦ yeah. Iām officially in. š
This show had a lot going for it. The plot was engaging, with the police actually being competent, and a villain who was cautious, cunning, and capable of outmaneuvering them when it counted. That balance made the cat-and-mouse dynamic interesting to watch and kept the tension steady for much of the series.
The performances were another strong point. SSK did a great job here, and having seen her in more recent projects, itās clear how much she has grown as an actress over time. PYC also held his own, particularly in the more emotional moments, while convincingly portraying a socially awkward, slightly unaware character. His performance added depth without being too quirky. Together, they make a cute couple who support each other so well.
There were some slipups along the way, mainly when the writing wasnāt consistent in terms of quality, pacing or how certain characters behaved. For example, as mentioned, the police were competent, but they also had moments of stupidity. Likewise with the FL who seemed to have her act together most times but fell apart at the most inopportune moments. Still, these moments were minor and never enough to pull me out of the story or diminish my overall enjoyment.
That said, the show really could have ended at episode 15; the story felt complete at that point. The final showdown felt unnecessaryāmore like an attempt to stretch the narrative than to improve it.
He told Yan Tuo that he had known for a long time that it was LYR and fiends who killed his parents indirectly. Apparently Lv Xian's father was in need of a transplant, and a donor was found. However on the day of the surgery, the donor never showed up and Lv Xian's father died. The mother after struggling for three year, died too.
Lv Xian found out that the donor was Li Er Gou and he was killed to be LYR's blood bag. All these years, he felt grateful to the Roadshow compay for bringing him up - he cannot hate LYR but he will never support her.That's why he was helping Yan Tuo so much!
Thank you! I always appreciate you taking the time to read and respond to my comments and reviews. Completely…
I know...unless they advertise it first, season 2 never happens. I bet if they wanted to, they could make multiple seasons like they did with "Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty". Then again the budget and star power of this show is quite different from STTD :D

He Yu is killing it with his character - typically so brooding, just a little smile of his is heart melting.
Esther, what can I say - I just love herā¦voice and all.
She has great chemistry with all - I love her dynamics with Jin Zhaoās buddies - especially Sanlai.
