I assume she has a clause in contract like Allen Ren, but for other reasons perhaps. I can't remember Janice Wu…
Yes. Good flashes of sweetness, and excellent co-star for Wu Qian. Zhang Binbin has well earned the praise of his fans there.
Do you have links for cut scenes ? I didn't go looking for them yet. And the drama is over, albeit in my mind too hurriedly : what's with the kid at the Bureau who calls Xiang Yuan mom? Is that supposed to be years in the future? The baby brother was Xu Cheng Li, and they address him as Xu Yan Cheng, if I remember well (that's what puzzled me). It got messy in timeline, perhaps, in the last episodes where I was expecting something like a grand wedding with or without marital kiss, or at least them looking at household registry booklets with pics of them as newly wed.

It is not that I strongly dislike Janice's kissing scenes (after all most romance dramas have them and she is a "cool cookie"). Only she never seemed to really exude hot passion in any of the dramas I watched that featured her, be it The Brightest Star In the Sky, Skate into Love, Discovery of Romance, Light Chaser Rescue, Meet Yourself (but her role there was not romantic, only tragic) and now here, where she still has flashes of loveliness at times. She mostly did hugs and pecks on cheeks and whacking co star on head to shoo him off in many of these dramas. The close ups were often blurred or showed tightly closed lips on her part or open with a distance... Not as exciting as Jinmi (Yang Zi) feeding the lingzhi to Xufeng (Deng Lun) in AoL, lol !
Our ML has switched from bipolar obsessed to flaming self sacrificing hero? But how did he turn up there in the first place in ep14. (Flashback to come, I suppose, like the one we got to explain how FL was rescued in the mountain) I never liked the sly Su Juan who is clearly the worst of the pack. Did he have a hand in ep 14 excitement? Will Bai Yun agent escape ? Will the Bai clan forge a signature to have Bai Yun get a more lenient sentence? So many cliff hangers !
From the OST of "The Forbidden Flower" : "... For I know that love is pain, please don't go away from me again, promise me that you'll be back, I can't help loving you again..." 🤣🤣🤣 Shall we bet they'll hook up again ? The kisses in ep8 were... ummm ... nice and yummy? Luo Zheng is a gourmet kisser!
It looks like this is the elusive TV drama that has been in the top 10 charts for a few weeks now, titled "UNDERCOVER POLICEWOMAN" that I could not find on MDL or Dramawiki. 卧底警花 is linked to more description in Baidu : https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E5%8D%A7%E5%BA%95%E8%AD%A6%E8%8A%B1/22113354 where it is described as "a public security anti-drug drama directed by Gao Yalin and starring Zou Yuanqing, Lu Nuo, Huang Junpeng, Tian Xiaojie, Wang Haiyan and Dong Yong. The play tells the story of Xia Hairong, a female police officer who has just joined the police force, in the face of high-pressure and dangerous anti-drug operations. The play will be broadcast on Beijing Satellite TV on May 12, 2023, and will be broadcast simultaneously on Tencent Video, iQiyi, Sohu Video, LeTV, and Bilibili" (can't find it on iQiyi my end, nor on WeTV ; nor on kiss. At the moment, there are 5 episodes in RAW on Dramacool only : https://www2.dramacool.do/drama-detail/wo-di-jing-hua-2023) Production : On July 9, 2018, the play was launched in Changzhou, Jiangsu . In 2018, the drama was completed. (But it aired only from May 12, 2023)
"During an anti-drug operation, the Nanhua police detected a large-scale transnational drug trafficking network. Under the leadership and command of the provincial department, Xia Hairong, a police officer of the anti-drug detachment, was ordered to undercover the drug trafficking group in danger. She first sneaked into the branch of the drug cartel, and cleverly pretended to rescue the third sister of the drug lord during the police anti-drug operation. The third sister was very grateful and took her back to the drug dealer's lair. After entering the center of the drug cartel, Xia Hairong stirred up the internal strife of the drug cartel and successfully rescued a drug lord. Zhou Jin, the doctor who once rescued him, cut off the branches that the drug cartel depended on one after another, forcing the behind-the-scenes The big drug lord was forced to show up to fight. During the undercover period, Xia Hairong's fiancé Duan Shiqiang misunderstood Xia Hairong, and Xia Hairong struggled through the emotional crisis. In the end, the police destroyed this large-scale drug manufacturing and trafficking group that had been hidden for many years and did great harm."
At first 4 episodes, i do understand why this series long last until 32, typical romance normal male lead x "chaebol"…
"chaebol" is Korean. This is a C drama, Chinese. No chaebol ("A conglomerate of businesses, usually owned by a single family in South Korea"), but a boss from a wealthy family who has to deal with other shareholders who control enough to not make Situ sole king. Lu zong is ... well, you'll see, if you are not reaching end, already. The child was ML character's baby brother.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yaah ! Perhaps a masterpiece? My favorite colors are dark and red, so that should be in tune with it, at least for now, after reaching ep.10 (I need some R&R before tackling the rest) I started tepidly bc of another Luo Zheng one which I ended up hating because of the linear and too predictable story, but here, the twists and turns (and the incredibly goofy Mr Rabbit) won me over. For now. iQiyi informs : VIPs: 2 new episodes daily at 06:00; Non-VIPs: from 06-16, 2 new episodes every Friday to Saturday at 06:00; Free until 07/17 (and of course they have a promotional rate for new subscribers at the moment). I have splurged a while ago, to the tune of yearly, renewable... But the thrifty or pauperized or otherwise geo-blocking impeached can, I suppose, also find it with the usual kiss and cool providers.
You don't understand that once a jerk falls in love, he would turn 360 degrees in an instant. It's like receiving…
You are right. Despite my tepid beginning, I think I may be hooked to stay until the end, now. The Mr Rabbit moment was goofy but well played! I am reconciled to add Luo Zheng in my catalogue of C drama actors to remember (the other Luos are Yunxi, for quite a while now, and Yizhuo, added since GenZ) 😁
I assume she has a clause in contract like Allen Ren, but for other reasons perhaps. I can't remember Janice Wu…
Could be? But I have no evidence for my hunch. As for Allen Ren Jialun, I love him as actor and singer ; his gazes are fire in "One and Only" and in the slow "Forever and Ever", which are among my own favorite C dramas (Dark and red are my favorite colors, lol). But then, I am not addicted to kissing idols all the time ; I do love the way Yang Yang had Dilireba get "lower and lower" 😄 in YAMG but I also love Yang Yang in "The King's Avatar"(no romance! just e sports) and in "Glory of the Special Forces" (best military). I also absolutely relished Jerry Yan Chengxu as lover and kisser in "The Forbidden Flower", and found Xu Kai irresistible in "Falling Into Your Smile", but can do with less and tickles like Chen Feiyu's in "Lighter and Princess" or Wu Lei's equally torrid glances in LLTG. Allen Ren and Z.Tao are among my favorite Cpop singers and rappers. Allen has for instance "Dreamers Never Sleep" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vnedy5BOrHo&list=RDLVzkLuR_DW1FQ&index=5 and a great 三十二·立 concept album (here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyJHkbbVlnE&list=PLj8b2CJx-JYRSojk-bI1ncCP75mDHMA5s) . I also love his song 吾 (I) for the 1000 years for you OST. And his version of "Pipa Xing" in different style (which contrasts interestingly with the Luo Yunxi version).
So no Viki or WeTV for you... Some have difficulty one way or another to pay subscription to the original platforms, and there's the geo-blocking hampering others, so finding other ways to watch is a way to express dedication and persistence, all very commendable for the great cause of watching C dramas, lol I know you are a stalwart kiss pillar with everything you enjoy there 🤣🤣🤣
That scene looked stupid and irresponsible to me given what they were up against. Do you go really partying and…
Thanks but there's no such thing as "drama is not for you" in my case : I watch all sorts, just not with equal enjoyment from A to Z. It's true most have gaping flaws, but I was not expecting a masterpiece anyway. Nevertheless, if we completely switched off brain and logic, nobody would waste time commenting or venting here? The drama was really nice in the beginning. But. "Girl bonding" scene in crowded bar and dance floor had me react, bc it is one of the tropes that always makes me frown, even if it is a pretext for being "romantically" thrown into the arms of ML (as drunk wretch, ahem...). A trope. Done in countless "modern romances" dramas I've watched, and some movies. Very stupid (and bad example of dealing with trouble) ... It makes me think of all the dangers that such bar hopping bring : being annoyed (or worse) by strangers, having drugs mixed in drink, getting worse than sick from drink which never is a good healing method for suffering. If it's going to sample drinks and dance with a crowd of friends, it's different: safety comes in number, perhaps. 2 women: no, that is inviting trouble just the same as a lone one imbibing by herself. Irresponsible and risky behavior. There are better places to chose and better ways to "move on" and get mutual help. Btw, didn't Xu Lai twist her ankle when she fell on the way back from the bar? ( Alright, I'm done with my venting and remarks here for now. Maybe the drama will get back on better tracks after ML's operation.)
Am i missing something? Best kisses?I thought the moment ZBB kissed her, she would automatically closed her mouth,…
I assume she has a clause in contract like Allen Ren, but for other reasons perhaps. I can't remember Janice Wu Qian doing a real kiss in any of the dramas I saw that starred her. But she is quite prettier in this one than in some previous dramas, in my opinion. Zhang Binbin is the best !! It was so funny watching his reaction to showing the kiss scenes at the Chengdu event, the other day. You have the link to it on YT in my previous post.
Best scene Dr zhang and Xu Lai partying together and enjoying together. love the girl bonding. 🤗🤗
That scene looked stupid and irresponsible to me given what they were up against. Do you go really partying and get drunk before operations and difficult investigations? Girls bonding? When were they best friends to do that? The only reason was to have the Dr drag XL to hospital to shove her onto JSC as if that was plausible to "help" both. We got a "cute" moment of FL snuggling up on manly chest hidden by pjs. Ok. The rescue party, the dog coming barking with none of the villains noticing, the Huo rushing with no backup and worse, the JSC suddenly there in pjs still, with no backup despite his having been in touch with the squad about dog escape and having received the SOS... Well, that was weak in the drama. Now, both suitors in hospital and lovely lady with barely a scratch has had time to tell her enemy at work that "next time" she will not let her go... Can't believe the rotten colleague was not fired on the spot. With the evidence they had: why would the company keep that one, when she has proven she brings only trouble? This drama is indeed full of p(l)ot holes and inconsistencies. Only saving grace is the pretty faces, and I am sorry for them now, to have been dragged into a project that could have been nice, but was so messily executed, up till now at least. William Chan did indeed show nice dimples at one moment and the climbing rope moment was not bad (although I suppose this was not really his muscle strength at work; helped by wire perhaps?), Zhang Ruonan is really pretty, Ci Sha does not stand out as much as he did as the lawyer friend of Zhousheng Chen (Forever and Ever), but he spits out blood nicely too here, when beaten to a pulp. The others are passers-by... I suppose I will stay watching because I usually don't leave before good or bitter end, unless disgusted. The story is not disgusting, just annoying... TI admit, there's probably better things to do than watching this .... (Debating: should I have a chocolate mousse or a nice juicy mango to cure my annoyance ? Both are too much, maybe I ought to keep some sugar ready in case of worse disappointment.) It's one of those stories that started as mildly promising, but grew more and more disappointing and forgettable despite the nice faces. Even the tenet about making firefighters look good was twisted out of whack. But there's a few episodes left. Sighing and hoping the drama still can be saved from the wastebin...
In my opinion, they are scumbag who think they push their loved ones far for their good when they are in difficult…
Shichuan. Nah, not a scumbag. Clueless in this instance is my opinion, although he could have thought about the hypothetical risk before, given his experience, so the development there is way off. Perhaps (surely) it'll get back on track before long. I am not that invested in all these characters anyway right at the moment.
Yes... Actually not that funny. It is not (yet) like July 2021 and forecasts are :Beijing : sunny and dry this…
No offense. Things happen. There is no widespread destruction nor casualties this time. Other parts of the world suffer other and at present perhaps worse calamities. The drama is not a documentary, so there are of course (a lot of) things that are not true to procedures; still I find it interesting that the scope of the action of this corps is wider than in many countries where you know you can't call for official help to deal with "small things" such as wasps nests in the street. This drama has episodes which are far from perfect in some respects and the "romantic" triangle is clearly a burden this time, compounded with the lengthy mourning of the Doctor and obsession of Huo. It is a misguided attempt to spice up the story. But the faces are pretty and maybe it will end up generally ok. I'm not giving up yet. First episodes were nice and cute. I hope the actress part will bring smthg interesting.

Not as exciting as Jinmi (Yang Zi) feeding the lingzhi to Xufeng (Deng Lun) in AoL, lol !
But we have Peachey Blossom's new posts of OST songs to stay patient :)
Shall we bet they'll hook up again ?
The kisses in ep8 were... ummm ... nice and yummy? Luo Zheng is a gourmet kisser!
