A complete guide to what love is not.
Did you enjoy it?
Great, now take notes so that if anything similar to what you saw in this series happens to you, call the police, talk to your friends and family, and possibly a social worker or, better yet, a psychiatrist.
Νon-consensual violence, in any form, is NOT love and never believe the opposite, no matter how well-crafted it is presented by those who cannot escape this situation either as victim or abuser.
Having stated that. Good actors, script with strong choices, as much as the extremely problematic, even criminally punishable, story allowed. It could have been a 12 episodes series to achieve a cohesive story line and avoid repeating. Also, the changing (unbelievable as it is) happens in an instant like miracle reducing any attempt to justify the end. It could have been better if it has gone from ep. 9 to ep. 14.
As we are talking about fiction and not reality, as long as you keep the above in mind you can find interesting, moving or even worthy of study acting and directing moments in this series. Although I think it gives no redemption as the basic goal of cinematic art.
Finally, PLEASE stop using money and health as global love and situation translator.
Extra tip:
Fan Xiao – How many times should I take off my shirt?
Director – YES.
You Shu Lang – How incompetently good should I be?
Director – YES.
