Up to raw ep.2. This Cdrama is a lighter compared to "You Complete Me", which also has Investment Banking underlying theme.
I must say that Hawick Lau ( also Huang Xiao Ming) can still play ML in dramas like this type. The big age gap btw ML and FL is still logical as being a department head in IB usually are in their forties minimum, whereas a management trainee/junior analyst is usually in early 20s.
While waiting for You Complete Me new episodes to come out, am watching this to fill the free time for my year end break.
I laughed so hard when that fire alarm scene happened. He acts so smart but forgot to get the laptop or atleast…
Hahaha.... or atleast press ctrl + alt+delete to lock the computer screen right! Even an office clerk in any bank is required by policy to do this whenever he/she leaves the work station.
Yes, the weaknesses you pointed out are so obvious.
The storyline is actually quite interesting with the IB background and revenge plot, however they need to do more research on the specific sector to make it more believable.
I can't help but to point out 2 main flaws in the script.
First is that in any investment bank premises, the security checkpoints are very strict and has Great Wall policy, the FL- Lin Wo has entered and exited Motian/Most Sky numerous times without registering or even tagging visitor pass. Outsiders can only sit in conference room and not roam around working area.
Secondly, in ep.10 -11 ML - Gao Shan completed a M&A proposal within 1 night could just walk out of the office without carrying the laptop after hearing fire alarm?? To me it's natural instinct to grab important things like handbag, phone n laptop with you before leaving considering a lot of hard work done in the proposal!!
I am surprised that i watched all episodes for this Chinese reality show. The appealing factor is that the show has created alot of noise and memes in Chinese social medias, whether positive or negative.
The season finale also has a surprise performance from Xiao Zhan, his first live performance since the controversy.
I cant imagine any actor other than Kenny Lin playing the ML. No wonder this drama has consistent high rating and viewership in China. Its also good to hear his own voice in this drama. Gai Cass is also surprisingly very fitting as FL as i never watched her acted.
It was on the main page for a few hour under the Top Airing Chinese drama, until we marked it as complete because…
I agree with you and didnt mean it in a bad way. Who would have thought it was all released at one go, which is a unique and isolated case.
Members should treat each other like neighbours, not complaining but trying to understand the situation. If this drama gets enough fans and discussion volume it will surely appear in Trending section. ...i hope
I am a bit sad that this Cdrama is not placed in "Show Starting This Week" and/or " Show Ending This Week" to provide more exposure to MDL and Non-MDL members.
Understand this Cdrama has released all 49 eps out of a sudden last week but I feel it should be showcased on the MDL main page atleast once.
Am i the last one to start watching this Cdrama today though i have waited years for the premiere.
From sooo many comments >3300 here so that means most of you have finished watching??
Clearly this drama was shot before Joy of Life as Li Qin - Princess Drumstick and Xin Ji Lei - Hai Tang Dor Dor look so much younger here. Also way before Sean Xiao's breakout role in The Untamed.
This higher budgeted romcom is so easy to like and watch. There is no exaggeration in the main leads wealth, character and beauty . I also like the flow of the story and how it reflects the reality in a modern and digitised China society.
Both Johnny Huang and Wu Jin Yan are so natural with each other and very believable in their character as childhood friends. So far in ep.8 and cant stop watching.
Wonder how this drama went passed the censorship given this is a Cdrama and touches spirit elements but not scary, which also coincidentally released in Halloween week..haha. Am glad it did! Watching this with high hopes of the drama focusing more on the main characters and not too much of side stories.
This drama reminds me the typical classic kdramas in early 2000s produced by KBS/MBC/SBS which were responsible for bringing the first hallyu to the world. Despite the flaws in the script and over dramatic storyline on love, relationship and family, I cant stop watching! I may start rating it 7.5 points but quite sure by end of the drama i will rate it 9.0. Not because i like the actors, Ji Eun beautiful wardrobe, the familar yet intriguing plot, etc its just the strong kdrama flavour and sountrack are just so right and suits my mood.
Unfortunately iQiyi still loses about ~ CNY1.5bn every quarter - I doubt Ruyi Pavillion is gonna save it. The…
Wow you the company's news as well! Thumbs up!! Actually these OTT platforms need many years to turnaround and there are also many other popular platforms like Youku, MangoTV, Tencent, etc. I only mentioned sales increase, not profits ya!
Yeah, i am still waiting for The Wolf to be out. I bet when Li Qin was shooting the drama, she was in her mid 20s and now she is 30!
I hope the reception and the popularity of this drama can exceed Legend of Yun Xi, so that IQiyi will continue to pair up Ju Jinyi and Zhang Zehan again after The Blooms At Ruyi Pavillion.
I remember reading a business news piece that in one quarter financial reporting in 2018, iQiyi made higher sales due to popularity of Legend of Yunxi alone, leading to higher share price of iQiyi! Can you imagine, business news talking about a famous idol costume drama that pushes share price up....
In the trailer, Long Feiyi and Han Yunxi were mentioned by a puppet story teller that they lived happily ever after.....
Must be the genious and loyal works of the same production team from Legend of Yunxi's doing. Love it!
The most memorable line "Mo Ping Zi Gwei" (roughly means a married woman's luck will get better after bearing a son) was also borrowed and reused here in this new drama.
When Pope and Ranee were on screen together, it makes me think they were previous life lovers cross path again...haha ..just immediately after Love Destiny/Bhuppensanniwat.
Suprised to see another actor (2nd ML) as Aim's ex husband to be was also in Love Destiny as Constantine.

Finally just finished the last episode. Love it!!

Yes, agree its under rated. Modern dramas are less popular if its not college love.

Too bad its only half an hour per episode.

All the memories of Legend of Yinxi are back! Cant wait! Cant wait! ♡♡♡
Trust me after watching ep.4 you need some time to calm down and clear out the horror scenes from your mind.
