Rampie

Sadly, people like her actually exist irl. In fact I know someone like her irl, she kept justifying and defending her abusive and cheating husband it drives me nuts. It's not desperate for a man, it's desperate for this specific scumbag.

This is because the subs are translated from chinese subs. The translator only see the text.

Lol, Chinese censor doesn't care if Li Yitang has a change of heart, all they care about is that An Ni (which represent government) wins in the end. The 2 women (both who are into ML) in Knockout never had a change of heart and did not turn against their family members.

Even if she won't participate in evil deeds, she won't betray him... I feel like I've seen a lot of these type of characters in these type of cdrama and they never betray the "bad guy." Gonna be like Meng Yu at best.

CCP using these type of characters to show to its citizens that it is wrong to prioritize personal feelings ,eg. prioritizing love interest, family, etc (guan xi) over the interest of the party. Therefore they like the make the main character (who works for the government) turns on their friends/family who become wrongdoers.

Li Yitang is so tragic. I knew from the beginning one of An Ni's friend will be this tragic character role dammit. The pattern with these China anti-evil always have like this bunch of tragic female characters (characters who aren't evil natured but dragged down to hell by the males beside them)... it's the same with The knockout, In the name of the people, etc.

I like it very much. Don't watch if you don't like these kind of dramas. If you are looking for romance you will be disappointed. If you are looking for action you will be disappointed. If you are looking for handsome idol actor you will be disappointed. If you are looking for mystery/thriller you will be disappointed. If you are looking to learn about China's cyber crime law and interested in how Chinese Procuratorate works, only then you should watch this.

Too many people are just here to watch Reba even though obviously they don't like the genre and they are not the target audience.

All speaking mandarin is about as ridiculous as "dubbing" practices like all those dramas dubbed into other languages to be shown in foreign tv channels. The even more ridiculous part is there are people who prefer bs like "english dubbing" over subtitles!

Yeah she is superb here. Just saw people on reddit trashing her for this drama again....

Very nice to see Reba's role in this drama is getting appreciations from domestic audience!

This drama extremely underrated, idk why the avg rating so low but if you see the comments it is overwhelmingly positive!

it's a pretty effective method to tell people to be wary of fraud/scam, quit gambling, avoid illegal loans, and quit playing those predatory video games. The drama illustrates how such things can ruin lives.

I don't know what people are expecting, stop watching dramas just because you like one of the cast and then complains because you are not the target audience. Just watch other dramas, xianxias, romcoms, or whatever that might strike your fancy.

It's not slice of life. A lot is law, and educative for domestic consumption. Many people will find this boring, especially younger people.

Lol, Minglan was way more boring than this and it got extremely high rating here. It's not even objectively good, it's nowhere as highly rated in Douban because it is borefest.

I think people not interested in the political/law side should really not watch this, it is mostly that and "public service announcement" that gambling is bad and be careful of online fraud... really.

Country F is Philippines. There are some things that give it away if you are familiar with the country.

Wdym better script, some romance idol web drama?? Her role here is so much more prestigious and harder to get, do you know how many Chinese actress queue to play leading role in CCP drama? This drama has a bunch of Chinese govt agencies promoting it, which is a huge achievement.

My suggestion is foreign fans just please don't watch if you don't like it, this is an educational tv drama for domestic audience (targeted mainly for old people really), not idol dramas for foreign export.

It is PH. They don't even try to hide it much. In ep 16 there is a sign selling kare-kare for 35 pesos and sinigang for 25 pesos. What even is the point of censoring the country if it is obvious where it is. In ep 1 they also censor the country but the city says Barcelona...
Meanwhile Thailand is mentioned in the drama BUT not censored, lol.

Not everyone, but many want to eventually star in these kind of dramas (which most foreign fans hate). It still depends on their personal "patriotism." Unpatriotic ones like Zheng Shuang won't play in these.

Idk which actress they are comparing Reba with but virtually most top actresses starred in one of these patriotic dramas: Zhao Lusi did, Bai Lu did, Li Yitong did, Ni Ni did, even Wan Peng got an upcoming one. Of course many younger ones haven't yet since they are new and they have to compete with more veteran actresses on the audition.

All these types of anti-corruption/anti-gang drama always end with an arrest of a big fish. But the highest level so far is like, provincial party leader. It's never above that because that's just Xi and his friends (standing committee now only consist of his loyalists/clique) lmao.

It will go down I think, it's not gonna rate higher than Knockout. These kind of dramas won't have a very good rating.
