I’m only on ep 5, but was this shelved for years due to censors or something? Why are all the dates so old? And using the actor who plays Zhaung Xu’s little brother as a yardstick, he seems several years younger in this than in The White Olive Tree…
I thought Chimok has full neck tattoo but why the body found in the suitcase doesn’t have yet it was confirmed…
Current day Chimok didn’t have the tattoo. He had it in the old picture they had of him and in flashback scenes from his days as a thug. But he didn’t have it in his wedding photo or the scene where he is angry at the restaurant.
But that ending? Felt like there should have been an episode 32, but at the last minute they said, “nope, wrap it up here.” And then they just had to shove a bunch of flashbacks and voiceovers in to tie it together. Too bad because it was pretty good through episode 30.
Enjoyed an Allen Ren role where he isn’t so stoic and flat all the time. I feel like he was able to show his range here more. Jeremy did have a few dozen times where he made that weird face that bugs me and holds it. I can’t tell what he is trying to portray when he does it. He just looks sorta constipated. It is what made me dislike him in a romcom he was in… but he has plenty of opportunity to be kickass in this drama and doesn’t disappoint with that. I love Landy’s character and portrayal.
I have now decided he should be a villain more often. Just watched Burning Flames and wow! I have seen him in romantic comedies and his acting was kind of cringe which made me sad because he is incredible eye candy. But after seeing Burning Flames I think he just needs to be serious and maybe a bit evil… he was amazing as Hei Long.
Lin Yi is really maturing. Anyone else notice that the World Cup match says 2025 - 2026? I guess they got this through the censors in record time and actually expected it to air closer to a year later? I would have preferred it to take longer in censorship and have the full episode count back. The last episode is such a rush to tie things up and I really want to see something develop further between Jiang Nan Feng and Lao Yan…
