On the surface there wasn't much happening in this episode, instead we had quite a few flashbacks and atmospheric shots of the leads staring into the void. It gave both leads a chance to do some acting. After the loss of his assistant Luo Fei has become even more introvert but at the same time he feels the need to chase after Lu FengPing. He may have been annoyed by his antics in the past but right now he cannot seem to be able to bear losing another person around him. Lu FengPing on the other hand seems to be torn between lashing out and pretending nothing has happened. He wants to keep his distance, but at the same time he remains somewhat fascinated by this person. That was a nice bit of acting by ZYC. It's funny how their roles have suddenly become reversed., with Luo Fei doing the chasing and Lu FengPing being the reserved one.

If you're old enough to date, you should be old enough to break up in a civilised manner. If not, just follow the advice once given by my ex-boss: "Don't sh*t where you eat."
No, there is definitely a greater scheme behind this and the "dead dog incident" looks more like a pretext to start some machinations, get the two leads to meet. I'm very suspicious of that nurse tbh...
Is it worth watching??How are the romance and chemistry of the leads?
Even though they are already married at the onset, I would describe the romance as a slow burn. They slowly grow to understand and appreciate each other, but the romance isn't the main focus. Views on this may differ, but I think the main leads have good chemistry, it just isn't smoking hot as in some more romance oriented dramas. I would describe it as relatively light fare, it has some good situational comedy that makes it quite entertaining.
As much as I love this series, I found episode 10 rather annoying and extremely unrealistic...Yes, this is fiction,…
The police guy following the suspect made so many mistakes which are probably also violations of proper procedure that it was obvious from the start that this would go wrong: - When following the suspect (on his own) he shouldn't have engaged until there was back-up. - There was no need to follow the suspect into that tunnel. He could' ve just closed/guarded the door to that tunnel. - When pointing a gun at the suspect why would he get so close that the suspect could knock it out of his hands? And his chief was no better. When finding an injured colleague the first action should have been a call to the ambulance. Where was his gun and why didn't he use it to incapacitate the suspect (rather than having a roll in the mud). I have absolutely no problem with the fact that the writers wanted to kill off a character in this drama, but please, give us a half-way intelligent storyline!

This is the difference between the average actor and a great actor. The average actors can only shine in roles…
I'm not sure how open Chinese directors are towards the actors' input. I know it is a frequent occurrence for Western actors to bring their own ideas to the director. For instance Viggo Mortensen usually brings his some of his own props or things that he reckons his character would like to own or wear. However, given the hierarchical culture in China, I would expect film directors to be a lot less accommodating. Otherwise, would any actress behave in the usual childish way if she had a say in it?
This my fav LYX TTOETM interview , v inspirational. Other than abt his characters shaping. He talked abt his improvement…
This is the difference between the average actor and a great actor. The average actors can only shine in roles that are variations of themselves whereas a great actor can play roles that have absolutely nothing in common with their real personality. I've seen quite a few of the goofy clips that show LYX cooking or playing games and I'm always surprised by the level of silliness that is so unlike any of his roles.
I thought I'd seen the trailer and it was a goofy comedy but here it is listed as psychological thriller?It's…
It's definitely not a comedy. There is some situational comedy due to the banter between the main leads and some other characters, but overall it is rather serious stuff. Despite sometimes bizarre sometimes tragic events it isn't overly dark though. For me, it hits just the right balance between entertainment and suspense.
Quite franckly, I couldn't give a FF about what those crazy C-netizens are getting worked up today, tomorrow or…
Yes, if you read a few of my posts you will see that I'm endlessly deploring the fact that even on MDL good dramas with real actors get a mediocre rating while truely average dramas filled with pretty boys who cannot act get a high rating no matter what.
