I am not in either of the field but I saw a documentary on brain research. Actually there is a company in Europe…
I am familiar with both techs and what they show in the show is close to accurate granted the story is fictional. But my point is, the Zhong Guo #1 is a bit too on the nose for me. And honestly, showing so much of the business and technical side even when it is not directly relevant to the story also makes it very propaganda-ish! China is having reverse brain drain which is good for them but showing a white partner for the professor also moving to China with her for research was also a very deliberate choice. And usually, they used to shy away from using real city names in most dramas, but now they are openly highlighting cities and landmarks. Another piece that felt like propaganda was when Yusen tells Xiguang's dad that he should go to public hospital vs private. In most countries, private healthcare usually provides better services as they attract better talent because of higher pay compared to public healthcare.
I finished watching Episode 13 and I so wish Gao Feng is Wu's real child and FeiFei is Qu Meng's if they are not twins already! That would be such a slap in his face...
I loved the romance and relationships part but the whole photovoltic and brain research part looked a little too propogandaish! For those who read the novel, does the author talk so much about their jobs?
Everyone saying the FL is naive but lets not forget the dad is a master manipulator. He didnt come up from shoddy background to a rich dude by muscle and brains alone. Although Xu started the business, Wu made it what it was, he was hired specifically for his people's skills. Plus it looks like he has genuine affection for his daughter, so its not strange FeiFei is having a hard time believing he is a vile human.
At 1st I thought they were siblings too.. but then so many girls with the bell necklace. But both of them have…
Yeah, the song and the necklace are too significant to ignore. I’m not sure whether the leads are twins, or if Qu Meng had Gao Fend with the reporter and then, after the reporter dies/is murdered, ended up with Wu to survive and had FeiFei. It’s possible she later tried to reconnect with or find Gao Feng, and that’s what led to her being murdered and buried inside the statue.
Part of me wants to believe FeiFei is Wu’s biological daughter; otherwise, his level of affection doesn’t quite add up. He doesn’t seem like the type, unlike Gao Feng’s father, who would take in a non-biological child and treat her so lovingly. Still, I could be wrong.
I’m fairly certain the woman in the wheelchair is Ms. Hong. Also, as I mentioned before, Gao Feng’s adopted mother is probably the woman who discovered the tapes in the room. She clearly knows more than she’s letting on.
I also suspect Su Min’s senior/boss was involved with the club. He comes across as sleazy, and Wu seems to recognize him from back in the days, which feels intentional.
Just finished ep 6. I dont know if the lady in the wheel chair is Qu Meng or the one whose bones were found in the statue, but I think Gao Feng and Wu FeiFei might be twins. And FeiFei was probably kidnapped by Wu and his "manager" wife since they werent able to have children. Both are definitely children of a girl that worked in the club. I also think Gao Feng's adopted mom might be the lady in black that first lures Wang into the club. I also think Su Min's parent's murder might be connected since the club was also involved in narcotics. I am really surprised all of this passed the censorship, since China always tries to show a laundered version.
a bunch of teenagers having powers and abilities like adults and their relationship is so messed up! the way the…
As an adult I agree, but as someone who was once a teenager, I can see kids being the way these guys are - hormonal and stupid! Literally reminds me of my high school days, guys beating up other guys to show how macho they are, high school kids thinking they have found 'true love' (LOL...), etc.
Ok, so I want to know from folks who are maybe in the similar age range as the characters if kids are still behaving like these folks? I know they certainly were when I was in high school. I was having such a hard time with this show and then I remembered they are potraying high school kids and many of my peers were literally this hormonal and messy when I was growing up and then I started enjoying the drama :P
Quick question, I just started watching it and I feel like I have started watching something from the middle of the story. Is this a sequel to another show/story?
Spoiler tag because it's not really about the show so much as the genre and my own opinions. Im still not sure…
I have to agree. I feel like the emphasis is too much on cool martial arts and stunts and this would have excited me so much when I was younger but now not so much and its just personal preference. I am on episode 5 and they are still at the arc of protecting the Patriarch, it feels like the story has not moved much at all. They try to kill him and fail, its a bit repetitive.
