His fans seem very calm like Xiao Ran’s fans so it should be fine.
Have you watched her newest drama? She plays a really cool police officer.

I think this line is really beautiful. The show went off the rails a bit for BH but it really came back with this sentence and the image of them under one umbrella. 😌 This show has its flaws but I think their personal story is quite flawlessly told. On its own, it’s absolutely a 10.

As someone who has been hit by a car(probably the equivalent to getting hit by the steel ball) and also fallen from a high place, you can indeed walk away okay, and without lasting effects. Neither character got out of the hospital straight away and one was even in a wheelchair for some time suggesting that it wasn’t an easy recovery. The character who got hit by the steel ball is an ex-soldier and probably in peak health, his recovery time will either be quicker or he will be able to deal with the pain.
Also there are medical studies showing acupuncture may assist with recovery from brain bleeds so…🤷‍♀️

Hopefully now that the show has stopped airing, the downvoting will stop. It’s crazy this show is at a 7.8. Considering what’s come out this year and what MDL has been rating 8s, it’s at least worthy of an 8.

Haha, you’re right! I mean I thought so too but was wondering how they would unravel it.

It didn’t have the budget. Seems like no one thought it would do well… which is weird cause it was in the Top Ten for upcoming dramas a few times.

The crew didn’t have a big budget for marketing and because it’s a tribute drama, I think the producers didn’t think it would do well overseas. Fans basically had to message the platforms to ensure we got access and subtitles. Luckily the drama has done well in China. Pang Hongmei is a pretty great character. She’s a strong woman with a sense of contrast and life. She doesn’t fall into the usual stereotypes for bada** women either.

Not sure why some people are still trashing this show with such decent grades but to each their own 🤷‍♀️

"Bending the bow to fight as a man, I used to be with Huamei in my dream"
It’s a poem that refers to the female lead. Her dad used to recite a poem about Mulan to her so it’s a special memory and a figure she strives to be. His referencing that acknowledges her work as an officer and their battle to bring the submarine project to life. Huamei (thrush) the bird he says he meets while fighting, refers to the female lead. Huamei is the Chinese title of the show. So basically the show is about the male lead recounting how he met and basically fell in love with the female lead.

These makeup pics posted by the show’s stylist for Xiao Ran look gorgeous:

Yup! That’s why I always say she’s visually super versatile as an actress. She can do cute or glamorous with no trouble.

Not on WeTV. I’ve heard Youku is better though.

There are no kiss scenes but they do end up together. In fact, from a cinematic/storytelling standpoint, the end is quite beautiful.

Yes, a lot of people don’t realise military and police officers are often trained to not express emotions while in certain circumstances. PHM is so serious that she definitely would have trained herself well in this regard. And it has to be added that she is a young woman in a male dominated field so she definitely will be trying harder to be taken seriously. There’s a look she gives when she’s being bandaged up and you can tell it’s the expression of a kid who has watched spy/detective films and is trying to imitate that sense of hardboiled coolness.

A person she can feel vulnerable with.

I really hope the English subs can capture the beauty of the show’s last few lines. They’re absolutely amazing 😭
