Sincerely Lotus

Remember that he isn't Japanese, the original Myna is, but not the current one.

They found he was someone named Mi Xing-something (I can't remember his full name), but that's a Chinese name. If I remember correctly, the original Myna was Miura smth, but the current one is Mi Xing-smth. So the current Myna is Chinese, not Japanese. As for Milan, she is naturally Chinese, too. Also, they did investigate her and tape her since they did find her suspicious, but the thing is that she's spotless and clean. NBIS can't do whatever they want.

They have only found that his real name was Mi Xing-something(can't remember his full name), not a plot hole.

Haha, me too, I hope they will get a happy ending!

Yes, he's also the one I'm suspecting the most right now, he feels very off in these two episodes.

Yeah, he ain't clean for sure.

I like Chief Ke and Ling Han more in these two episodes. Fictional characters having a grey moral compass is fine; however, I also admire Wen Yeming's dedication to having a clearer conscience and morals. Her unwillingness to compromise on some matters is both a strength and a flaw, like a real human. I just think she's unsuitable to be an agent.

Can Yun Hongshen get a little more screentime and scheming time in future episodes? I'm really eager to see his development into a better strategist.

She is not Kunwu, she is Guiche, suspected to be working under Kunwu. Bage is someone she used to seem innocent.

They don't know right now I think

I just praised Commander Jin for having brains, and they went and killed him?? Help, this drama is really fun.

So it seems like the search for the mole hasn't ended huh? I wonder what's going on with Deputy Chief Zhu exactly.

I think you can give it a try too, I normally skip out on republican spy dramas because it ain't my thing for various reasons. So I started this for Cheng Yi, but by ep5, I was staying for the plot. The best thing about this drama is that it doesn't insult your intelligence.

No, not Malaysian, it's just the pinyin of the Chinese characters. I'm more used to it lol.

Could it be that the information is fake and planted by the Japanese, Milan works for Kunwu, and Kunwu wants to use Hongshen to solve the code?

I suggest you view this drama as its own thing, these two dramas have no connection. It's also impossible for them to make it parallel to Lonely Hero's script because, as you know, Deep Lurk was made earlier than that drama.

Could there be a chance that Milan(confirmed to be Guiche/Onitetsu) works for Kunwu? And she's helped Hongshen crack the code because the information hidden is actually false? That's why she doesn't want Hongshen to die, because Kunwu has a use for him?

Yes, the best part about this drama is that it respects the audience's intelligence! I was a bit scared it was going in that direction, mentally prepared myself too.

I really thought Commander Jin would fall for the beauty trick, but this drama really doesn't take the audience as idiots and went the opposite way. I'm so pleased.

The two ladies in the washroom in episode 11 have good eyes and taste haha, they're my drama mouthpiece (especially the one praising Yun Hongshen lol). Wen Yeming is also very pretty today.

Also, I feel like 99% of the characters brought their scheming brain, and that 1% who obviously didn't is Yun Hongqi (he brought his heart though).

I know right? Even if I look at it objectively, it may have its flaws, but the plot is definitely very interesting. The haters are wild.

Oh I see I see, thank you for your clarification! I'm going to that into account in my theories, and the fact that the other person in the photo may or may not be important. Or maybe it's the land the photo was taken in? Anyways, thank you very much.
