Xie Dongtian is disgusting! Although not as creepy and intimidating like Murong Gaogong (UL), he is still disgusting. I said this after he first appeared in ep 5, he has his own agenda and he is envious of Chen Qian. He wants to get rid of him and takes all the merits 😡 imo, Ida is better than Dongtian.

Wu Ruonan is like the obsessive ex gf who wants a revenge. She has been an immature girl since the start. She couldn't get her toy, so she turns into a mad woman.

Guan Yongshan is useless and coward. All he does is smile and drink tea. I bet he did dirty things to get to his place now. If not, his character would be a capable man like Ida.

This drama is good and the tension is in every episode. The enemy is really smart and it needs a lot of people to outsmart him. If you want some romance, this definitely doesn't have it. There are a few flirting lines, but the main cp doesn't have real romantic scenes. It focuses on undercover missions, communists party and military. Also, the stylist team did a great job with all the styling and wardrobe. The only bad thing that I have mentioned below, the Japanese don't speak Japanese 😒

I was complaining about that too in my previous comment down below. Even Chen Yuqi's drama, Memory of Antiques 3 has the Japanese speak in Japanese a lot even though the dubbing is a bit off. But in Thin Ice, the biggest problem is the Japanese don't convince the viewers they are Japanese, more like dictator Chinese govt. I counted they said less than 10 Japanese words. Words! Not even a long sentence!

I feel sad that the main cp barely has any romantic scene. Everytime they are together all they talk about is missions. Of course during this period, they have no time for love. But at times, it's clear how much Chen Qian loves Chunyang. He doesn't want to be apart from her. It's just I feel they are more like comrades. Perhaps bcos there is Ruonan who is persistent to Chen Qian. Although they pretend to be a couple, it felt real. They're like a couple in the verge of breaking up bcos he found someone he truly loves. While Chunyang tries to keep her distance with Chen Qian bcos they have not win the war. But behind the scenes, Chunyang is the one who helps Chen Qian from troubles and the person who understands him best.

Madness!! This drama is so crazy! The plot twists! 😱 And finally they're not walking on thin ice anymore.

From all characters, the one who has the best development is Zhou Zuo 👍🏻 He changed a lot.

I can't believe Miyamoto is still alive! I feel the pain Ruonan had at that time 😡 this insect must be killed first!

Meanwhile Ida is so scary. He is all smile and chill, but he is undeniably dangerous. It is only a matter of time for Chen Qian 😱

It only lasts about the first 4-5 episodes, she stops pretending her illness in front of the ML. She still pretends to be weak in front of people, but she will stop with the coughing.

If you don't like the makeup and styling for FL and all the ladies here, you should know that the makeup is based on real makeup the ladies had during Song and Tang dynasty (the flower pattern on their foreheads, white powder, the splash of red). The Empress of China (Fan Bingbing) also had similar makeup bcos the drama took place during Tang dynasty as well. Here is a closer look to the makeup if you are interested

Unchained Love, the FL is cunning and lazy, she only wants to spend her time doing nothing 🤣 she's the type that "if you hit me, I'll hit you back".
The Starry Love, both FLs are strong in their own ways.

Gu Manli 😭😭😭
That button will bring a lot of problems. How could he be so sloppy wearing a uniform to sneak in? 🤦‍♀️

I didn't know you would work on translation for Thin Ice too ❤ thank you as always!

Yes. Thin Ice is a spy drama and highlights communist party. The tension makes me sweat bcos our cp is living in tiger's den 😱 Ida is a dangerous man. I'm sweating thinking what if they get exposed...

Bcos it's not subbed yet 😭

Xie Dongtian keeps on interfering. So annoying. And somehow I doubt Chief Guan. No, wait. Could it be he is actually part of the group?

Like I said before, I really like the bonds between Chunyang and Yukako. Even though her dad and uncle are villains, but she is innocent. The jerk who said she isn't, is actually as ruthless as Ida 😡

Ever since Chen Qian disguised as Asai Mitsuo, he's been walking on thin ice. Even his bf, Zhenguo starts walking on thin ice too 😭 it's so intense living on lion's den.

Ida is a dangerous man. A different kind of danger with Xie Dongtian. He is extremely smart, Chen Qian barely survives his tests.

Fyi, I'm using their Japanese names instead of the Chinese translated names.

Chen Qian: undercover mission name > Asai Mitsuo (Qian Jing Guangfu).

Ida Yuutarou > Jing Tian Yutailang.
Ida Yukako (the niece) > Jing Tian Yujiazi
Watanabe (Ida's man with the glasses) > Du Bian.
Ninomiya (Ida's right hand man with moustache) > Er Gong
Yamaguchi Akiko (the housekeeper) > Shan Gou Chunzi
Miyamoto > Gong Ben

Did people rate this drama so low just bcos it's not subbed yet? 🤷‍♀️

I'm pissed that they cut the main couple's scene in ep 4. It's their first deep conversation and an important scene to show how Chen Qian starts feeling attracted to Chunyang.

Thank you. Sadly the English subs is still incorrect. It translates per line, not the whole sentence. Also it's only up to ep 5 for the non vip.

I'm glad they use their own voices! I could hear Chen Yuqi's voice again. 3 strikes! 😆

However, the only thing that disappoints me about Japanese invasion drama is NONE of the Japanese actually speak Japanese! Even MoA3 is way better although the Japanese dubbing is annoying. The only thing showing they are Japanese is the house and kimono. Lol
