NBB is a good person and noone can convince me otherwise. The mere fact that she chose to murder and self exit…
All valid points. I think it was a really decent part of society to explore and I think it was well covered. The grandpa saying he knew about the abuse and everyone in the town knew about it but they were all bystanders. The grandpa admits they too were responsible for allowing it to continue. Absolutely agree that the law failed her like you said, but unfortunately there was not a safe haven provided by her family and friends either, as they enabled the husband to continue and escalate the abuse by feigning ignorance of it.
I saw previews and LXY is going to show us her true colours soon (I'm hoping she leaves the firm hahaha).
Episode 19 was soooo good for all the moments between the ML and FL. Can't wait to see people's reactions on the hotel scene.
Honestly a bit spoiled from episode 19 because episodes 20 and 21 became an absolute snooze fest with nearly the entire focus on flashbacks of a student's life (a case). This episodes had Xiao Yue as lead lawyer, and my word is he the most unqualified of them all. On multiple occasions he emotionally blurts out his protest to anything that is said that he finds unfair and even verbally goes after the lady who put a lot of pressure on the student. For the first time in the series my hand was hovering over the 2x button, eagerly wanting this story line to be over. It wasn't even a case, and there was literally flash back for over 10 minutes how a guy and a girl student got together. Stooppp... zzzzzzz I blame Fang Wei'An for bringing this two episode deviation to existence (client referral was from him haha).
haha.. Fussy Lu looks so much like Kang Jun I can't even!
I watched Dating in the Kitchen a few years ago and hated the brother (and what he did) soo much that it ruined the series for me, but last year I revisited the drama and Lin Yushen in certain scenes was *chef's kiss* so much that i bumped my rating from a 6.5 to an 8.5. Those moments between the leads with the theme song... my word, got me in the feels each time. His character in Dating in the Kitchen was definitely more life-like and unique. I feel that in The Inner Eye the FL is showing she is more diverse of an actor than he is, but that being said, everything he brings to the table in this show I still love, and am so happy I get to see him in another "decent" drama. I personally think he is the most handsome man in C-drama land so naturally the eye-candy factor is also a thing for me! haha
I LOVED the hospital scene. It was truly unexpected. and the flashing lights from the assistant's torch LOL imo that actually made him ruining the moment OK.
You know, it’s rare that I’m made aware of how good a female actor is but Xin Zhi Lei (Tang YingYing) has really put so much art into crafting a character, fully-fledged like a real person. Yes, of course the director and script have a great influence on how a character is portrayed to an audience, but it feels like Xin Zhi Lei read the script and spent a lot of time thinking about how she would be in that character’s shoes. In episode 19, the 3rd time she says “what do you mean I don’t love myself!” it’s said louder with such emotion that just really cuts through all the trashy moments of the show.
On the other side, I really give credit to the writers as well. In episode 19 when Peilin uses the idiomatic expression to ‘not kill if you don’t bury’ (be responsible for your actions). Tang Yingying says “I don’t kill and I don’t bury!” and leaves the room (hiding her true thoughts). At the end of the episode, Tang YingYing reference that conversation (which Kang Jun heard) and but now says “I’ll kill when I want to kill, and bury when I want to bury” – which shows us the audience she is letting Kang Jun see more of her hidden-self. Very, very impressed with the subtle developments in the relationship the show conveys.
I don't believe he raped her, it was attempted rape and then I believe she says she managed to fight free and…
oh i totally didn't get that! oh then that's a huge writing error. haha you'll have to look past it being a MangoTV production haha
edit: so i just re-watched a few parts. I think it was merely an investigation to question the FL on whether she did violate boundaries. the ML found it very likely she did so he reported it to the relevant parties who would properly investigate the matter.
The first three episodes left me confused. I feel kind of stupid for not following along well enough but did he…
I don't believe he raped her, it was attempted rape and then I believe she says she managed to fight free and leave the room. that's what i gathered from her police report in ep 1. she said "Tā xiǎng qīnfàn wǒ" which means 'he wanted to assault me'. I looked up the minimum sentence for rape in China is 3 years imprisonment, so I doubt they would have written in the drama 1 year if it was rape.
The "proof" was the victim attempting suicide as a result of the unrelenting interrogation from the FL, who discredited her story of rape by proving she lied about being drunk. The ML reported her for the methods she used which showed no regard for the health and wellbeing of their impacts on the woman.
That last scene...wow, my heart is breaking 😢 💔 Let's start with the audacity...Fang is an incorrigible…
Yeah totally glossy outcome for the girl, when in reality she will have those same destructive tendencies pop-up when she faces trouble. In any case, glad we can move on!
KJ's ex-wife i think became everyone's favourite character of the show although she was there for like 20 minutes! I think we all fell for her! Truly a joy to watch her character.
That power outage hahaha then him describing her the next day as "soft as a kitten"!!! Love the push and pull dynamic though. It makes for great watching.
I saw in previews we are going back to our least favourite girl Xiao Yun for a few episodes... argh... can't we just change the channel and follow Bai Tong around on her photographic journeys instead? Or as you said, another power outage with the FL and ML in a room to talk it out and sweat it out would also be fine (plz writers).
I might not have understood the reason properly but I believe it is because her BF didn't trust her methods of dealing with the annoying high school girl, despite her looking after the best interests of the girl. We see he didn't trust her method because he went against the FL in the conflict.
The FL sums it up saying that her and her BF are not right for each other and that's all there is to it.
Seeing your comment below, does FL have a boyfriend? So is there no hint of slight romance between FL and ML?
In episode 16 FL and her boyfriend break up. Before he leaves, the boyfriend tells ML to take care of her and go for his chance at love. The story starts the romance between the ML and FL almost instantly after this with them sharing an intimate moment in the same episode.
文雯Claire - 天平 (which google translates to Claire Wenwen - Balance)might be hard to find outside of China/vpn
Sorry just realised they use two different songs for the OST ending. Episodes 1-10 use 孙妙维-天空的独白 (google translation Sun Miaowei - Sky's Monologue) while episodes 11-15 use the one from Claire mentioned previously.
haha so triggered! TYY does her own thing anyway and doesn't take any heed to anything KJ says. You got annoyed…
that makes perfect sense and its great to have those kind of boundaries. i think TYY is only written like this for the sake of the plot otherwise her character would likely have had your response in those situations :-)
Though shall not beat up a child cause though will go to jail...Me= Though shall happily go to jail after beating…
haha so triggered! TYY does her own thing anyway and doesn't take any heed to anything KJ says. You got annoyed at what he said but TYY didn't. His words were water off a duck's back.
Imo TYY is simply putting up boundaries for the girl (aka giving her an education) and told her BF to do the same. I don't think once has she taken on the role of a rescuer for the girl or her boyfriend. To her boyfriend she's been like "you need to sort this sh*t out", and to the girl "do stupid things and you'll find out your actions have consequences!".
TYY is the most headstrong person in the series - she does what she wants when she wants and no one (especially KJ) has any say over that. - Ep 15 she further cements how true this is haha
If there is one little critic I have so far about this drama, it's the heavy focus on the characters problems…
I think they are now going to start a new case involving a situation with TYY's new apprentice/helper! It's like Oprah saying "you get a car, you get a car!" haha
