Hmm I'm Interested in those two of course, but also in Dark Night and Dawn which airs on September 18 : I was among the first to "subscribe" among the 100 million reservations saluted on the posters of Sept.14...
A dark spy story in the thrilling and treacherous Republican era, to wait again for The White Olive Tree and the less stressful costume drama still filming by CZY and Li Qin, scheduled for next year.

Meanwhile, hoping you'll enjoy nice moonshine around the world for 中秋节 on Tuesday night.

If you have that handy, share with friends or close ones a box of nuts-filled sweet mooncakes - or the salty yellow egg yolk filled more traditional one, and sip guihua scented green tea : the guihua osmanthus trees flowers in September-October in the Jiangnan and it is an absolutely lovely and unforgettable olfactory experience for those who experience it !

thanks for liking! I hope you'll also enjoy the series or movies.
Reading (and writing) reviews can be a chore for me, therefore I often just leave out reviewing especially after having added documents and views in a companion piece. This time, I sat down to sum it up as a sort of conclusion to the longer piece. And, for all I hoped to keep it short, it still was a verbose one, so readers surely prefer to read other ones to decide whether or not to watch, you were patient here ;)
Wishing you continued pleasure with c-dramas or c-drama reviews readings, and a joyful Zhongqiujie festival on Tuesday night !

thanks, PBG, 😘 and enjoy the coming mid-autumn festival, watching the moon shine on a world which we shall hope stays mostly at peace, while finishing The First Shot!

100 million reservations as of September 14 - I was one of the first - waiting for September 18! :)

but Liu Yi "son" is in fact female 🤣

In fact, Liu Yi is female 🤣

DNAD to air on September 18, on iQiyi 🥳🥳💙💙💙💙💙

Mr Gu - yes he hopes his father is alive - but I doubt it.
Er Jin's daughter? perhaps yes. I thought it was a flashback but was surely mistaken (I was wondering why XH looked so grown -and I missed the mention that "Qin Yi is dead", as to when was it happening, your reply clears it up for me). You were more attentive than I was :)

Gu's father was abducted and presumably killed by the southern drug gang and the "asthma" suffering gangster, while his son was away on exchange study tour, coming back to empty home with food left on the table.

Xiaohai met his "sister" in the street when she was being bullied as a still not grown girl. He scared off the young pricks and presumably got close to her and "adopted" : he said he went through several deaths after being left in the dump as 12 yr old Lele, and that Qin saved him and became his godfather, so I assume there is a deep covered link between Mrs Jiang, who looks like a full fledged mafia queen, and the gangs - remember she was being assaulted because her dad was in prison and "no one would protect her", except Xiaohai did just that...

Wondered about same, am only on 21 :)

For those who liked the music, I hunted down the 4 OST songs, and have put lyrics and links to listen to them on YouTube (one is the theme song, two are in a short clip, one is missing, perhaps targeted by a claim that it was too similar to an already published one). The theme song and the two ones from the clip are often repeated throughout the series.

Yep 12/10 ! it bridges over the flaws and leaves a most satisfied memory. It's the stuff of cult items.

But such a sizzling chemistry ! Not so often do we watch and overlook flaws just because of the incredibly perfect and fun chemistry. Even thinking of it in retrospect, I have a wide grin on my face and my stomach is full of hiccuping loony laughs !

Aaah, with those guys ? What could they do next in the Mr & Mrs Smith vein ?
I'd probably be watching.

"Thriller sizzle romance" perhaps ?

Yes, agree, I initially rated it 8 because of the plot holes and nonsenses and somewhat expected storyline, but these were bridged over by that hot chemistry, so I'm hiking my own rating up to 9.5 as well ! 😂😂 (I seldom do so, but this small cult item has been on my re-watch on Youtube and I can't help raving about it around the forums!)

Nutshell: Shen Xing escapes and flies back to home country, as expected.
