I can't help feeling that a little too much time is being spent on sub-plots that aren't hugely related to the…
Hu Bin and that storyline in Eps 31 and 32 especially. I mean, apart from recovering that bullet and cementing his character as vile, I don't see why they needed to devote so much time to the non-wedding. I guess it gave Song Zhuowen a chance to help Guan Xue, which may work in his favor later.
I can't help feeling that a little too much time is being spent on sub-plots that aren't hugely related to the overall story. It feels like several characters get 2-3 eps where they have their own little story or crisis or something.
That he blackmails the woman he supposedly loves into marrying him. Just so... ugh
I think he operates under the assumption that everything Zhuowen does has some purpose, even taking someone shopping. I also feel like that street he mentioned (to search) was mentioned in a previous episode, but I don't remember which.
I laughed at his "promotion", but I feel like he's going to make things difficult for GX soon.
Just watched Eps 31 and 32, and have some questions (will type below)
Also, why was Xie Yue at the wedding? And what the meaning behind her small smile when the wedding didn't take place? Did she know something about it, or was it all a ruse?
As an aside, sometimes I feel like Xie Yue's developed Stockholm Syndrome towards Guan Xue :D

The way Guan Xue was lying face down on her bed the evening prior to her wedding is the exact same pose (with the exact same layout around her, I think) that they showed in the drama trailers. Except in the trailer it was like she'd been shot/stabbed in the stomach or something because there was so much blood. Did this scene appear as an imaginary sequence and did I just miss it?
W he at about zhuowen? You think he has feeling for her?
He must care to some extent about her because he spent a lot of effort trying to find that gun and prevent a wedding she didn't want. Unless maybe there is another (political/manipulative?) reason behind his actions.
Or it could be that, like Xie Yue, he sees Guan Xue's love for her brother as a redeeming feature, and helped her out because the whole mess was originally because of Kai's actions.
That he blackmails the woman he supposedly loves into marrying him. Just so... ugh
I just watched yesterday's eps and Hu Bin is even more vile than I originally thought. Also, he is scarily obsessed with Guan Xue. All those photos, and his diary seems to be entirely about her...
But why did Guan Xue herself bring up marriage? Not that she would ever have been rid of him in any case, I suppose, but why even suggest it? At least it didn't go through.
That he blackmails the woman he supposedly loves into marrying him. Just so... ugh
He is so vile!
I know Guan Xue trusts nobody and almost expects backstabbing from her subordinates, but this is a different kind of trust that was violated.
He also had the nerve to say "forget about it, it's in the past" about the attempted SA. How dare he even think he, as the attacker, has any right to say that.
From an interview with YM and LYH, it seems that several plot elements were introduced in the middle of filming. I guess because it's a suspense drama the actors are kept in suspense too.
That the man who hit the Japanese girl with his car is Guanxue’s man and his car passed by when Zhuowen was…
So Guan Xue must have arranged that just so Guan Kai won't be implicated in the kidnapping? That is actually ruthless. That poor girl did nothing wrong.
Honestly, I think Guan Kai is the source of so many problems for his sister. - She is nearly killed because of his association with Ning. - His murder of a Japanese makes her vulnerable to Hu Bin's blackmail. - His part in a kidnapping makes her order a murder to be carried out.
Good to know! New to (and really disliking) the fan wars and hate culture surrounding Cdramas. Being able to produce revenue despite this means that targetted actors won't be too badly affected. Career-wise anyway. Who knows what toll it takes on them personally. Wouldn't want it for all the money in the world, but I guess they have to deal with it somehow as they've chosen this as a career.

If I were her, I'd shoot him at the altar.

Also, she's 37 :)
