Off topic. Ur username reminds me of "super tuna" song of bts jin. Are u by chance an army?

Thinking to add recipes to my cooking list apart from lemon coriander soup. Thanking drama for that. 😂

Damn what a usage of word "trad wife era" for ml. This is first. Lol 😂😂😂

Edit:- i like it. I watched till ep2 but it actually defines him so perfectly.

Just started with this drama and in ep2 and why in the world is xiaofan always be treated like a pushover and why he himself have so low self esteem. I mean I get it he is from countryside but man !!! Everyone treats him like he is inferior even their own parents. Their parents always call/ use him to get benefits. Also i deeply think that xiaofan only feels grateful towards bei lu qing. He think bei lu is helping him out of humanity i doubt that. He is already attracted towards him. He tutor him, give him cd player and what not. Ig somewhere it's xiaofan way of showing his gratitude by making him soup everyday. And bei lu appreciate that. But the problem is that i am getting irritated with xiaofan.....how much longer will be be treated like this? It will get better from ep3 atleast. Also i don't understand why xiaofan never tried to talk or show interest in his own wife??? Did he knew he was gay since beginning or what? Also why in the world bei lu qing always say harsh words to him but deeply care for him? I hate this kind of people who hurt u but actually care for u.

The writing is all over the place. Even if they reveal things later. I don't seem to connect the dots. I already got spoiled that chen yi is police spy. But his actions are not consistent to make sense out of it. It looks like this drama has a good concept but somewhere in between they lost it. It's main plot is not supported with good branching plot.

Ep10, what's happening? I am so confused. Let's first talk about romance. It has sidelined. It's focus has shifted towards chen yi's dealing with mr. Zhang.

Now, please someone make me understand few things. Construction project halt meant to be happened as first Linda back out and second the tax inspection. So basically they don't have funds to carry on with the project plus during inspection it's mostly the case that current project will be halted till the name gets cleared. But chen yi's reaction to the people who were asking him to help them was so indifferent. That's odd. Chen yi was not the person who would be so cold towards their own peers. What's the reason?

Then we saw chen yi questioning zhai's man to get the whereabouts of zhai. And he got to know about puer tea which means they bought tea so that they show in their balance sheet that they are earning less and get off with it. As the one who investigated didn't knew how costly is puer tea and treating it as normal tea from auction..because it's nothing new of having obsession of collecting good quality tea. Plus chen yi was seeing the records of tax payment to govt. Now my doubt is...is chen yi really police spy? Because otherwise it doesn't make sense that he went deeper to all these issues. Why would he do that?

Then we saw Convo between cop and his fiancee. First of all what Wen does? Why she will be in trouble if she is in investigation team of tax fraud? Someone threating her can be possible but how that cop don't know all these about tax thing? If chen yi is really a spy? He should be the first one to know that right?

Then we saw the Convo between zhang and chen yi. Why would he mention tax thing only to say that he want to leave kuangxia? Bringing serious issues like tax fraud and saying that he want to leave doesn't make sense to me. He will be going deeper and why would zhang be a fool to let him go? Was this a reverse strategy of chen yi to gain trust of zhang? Again as expected zhang gave him watch and showed him restricted area of surveillance not open to outsiders to make it harder to let him go. So it's like hitting ur own leg.

Same goes with watch chen yi didn't want to take it because he knew zhang watch will give him more trouble if police come to him for his involvement rather than giving him any benefit. Whose side is chen yi?

And why suddenly he wants to leave teng city and go to hai city for university along with miao jing? That was not the plan. Was chen yi that smart to know that he better leave this as getting involved with zhang and his business is not safe?

And how much zhang is clean? He did said that zhai was the mastermind but aren't they partners? So they are doomed together.

Then if chen yi is secret spy then cop should have informed him about leaving. But they are not in sync. So idk something doesn't make sense if chen yi is spy and some make sense if chenyi is a spy.

We saw miao jing to get an idea that the people with whom chen yi is dealing are no joke and they are criminals basically. Plus she is aware of tax thing going on in district 7 and where chen yi works. Idk why such a smart girl earlier now has become dumb to not ask properly what's the issue from chen yi? Why she thinks that he will tell her anything on his own?

I hope someone ans my doubts. Because i am wayyy too much confused.

I haven't watched till ep11, but looks like they are using time leap/ jump so that they can keep things mysterious and cover what actually happened in later ep through PTSD therapy sessions. And that's what Ig miao jing will also find. But this arson case is imp.

Kbl has stepped up their game by making this drama. It's so good. Just watched ep1 and not a single sec is boring.

Idk never checked. Why? Am I too slow or too fast?

Not sure if this is supposed to be compliment or criticism.😅

Hmm this actually makes sense. But how much of it chen yi knows? The problem is that chen yi is close with mr. Zhang but still he don't tell him lot of things like this whole tax thing. So, yes it depends on level of his involvement. About police informant idk let's see it could be highly possible considering chen yi was always been the person who knows what is right and wrong and he always wanted to be an police officer. So that also makes sense. About PTSD idk what he has been through. I am still on early ep.

Btw thanks for clarification. I was literally scratching my head about this.

I am not sure at which ep u are in to say this. But i am still in ep9. I don't hold accountant or auditing degree but I do have understanding of macroeconomics and basics of accounting and auditing plus how whole money laundering n/w works. The point is that atleast till ep9, the story has not been told properly that how chen yi is in trouble.

It is actually my genuine doubt so if u know please ans me. There are lot of people who sells liquor so selling liquor is not dangerous. What is illegal is selling counterfeit liquor which was happening in district 7 we saw that. But chen yi handled it. Now, they have separate investment business as well. They invested in construction project which Linda was also part in it( but ig she stepped back because of tax inspection not sure) which can lead to construction project being in halt. Or scrap whole project because of insufficient funding or bad investment.

Now, coming to district 7 they did tried to ivade tax by using shell companies. Now that shell companies they mentioned is closed so tracing back is hard but still not impossible as one can still see audit logs or by getting employee lists which again will become Crystal clear that those were actually shell companies and not some legal business so both mr. Zhang and zhai are in trouble as they are partners in that.

But how anything is linked with chen yi? This ques i am not able understand. He is just a construction manager so he don't invest or look into money matters. Again in bar/ billiards bar he is like a manager to see day to day operations went smoothly. He do deal with wrong people but again how he is in trouble? Why Linda is warning him again and again and why that cop is warning him again and again. I mean there can always be risk that they accuse him as their partner in these crimes but it will be false accusations. I don't think it can be that dangerous.

That's where I don't think that story has kept the foundation of danger or said the danger that comes with it properly. It's more about explaining what's happening in a good way. Ig this drama wants it's audience to be intelligent to be able to understand on their own. Which actually is good but it serves only few audiences. It's audience can't be people who have little bit less knowledge in this aspect. Because let's be honest not all understand this.

Ep9 can someone please let me know what is going on with this whole district 7 tax thing? And how it is related to chen yi?

I just understood that people of district 7 has some past records of using shell companies to get away with tax and investment. About construction site project i see when they talk about "all our funds went to this project" means they have done some money misplacement which can be found in auditing if not handled properly. But what does it has to do with chen yi? He is just the construction manager and he should be clean. Even Linda backout from planning to have business investment with them and she warned chen yi. But why chen yi is in deep trouble?

After finding out. Let me know 😁

Sure. And please if any of my words made u feel bad I am really sorry. But i respect ur decision to not discuss this. Good day/ night 😊

I actually agree with u. I am not denying anything. But let's be honest here if miao jing did indirectly pushed him in dealing with wrong people then it is also true that she did provided him a sense of home, a person who actually care for him. Who is concerned for him. Which his father wasn't. That's why she was his home. And that's the sole reason he thought to deal with wrong people. Because even before love bloom between them they were childs...both were struggling. Miao jing did provided and showed that familial bond can be confronting.

Eg- scene where he was collecting scraps. Yes he used to collect even before for hunger. But he was not smiling. But when he used to go there with miao jing to collect scraps then even in poverty he smiled genuinely. From the heart. He was not alone in his misery.

Eg- when he used to give his all to afford her tution fees she was also throwing away electric wires and said to let her deal with all electric work. If that's not care then what it is? This gentle and minute things are the comfort that she gave .

Was the intensity same? Idk. But both were kids. Both suffered. My heart aches for both. They never got bare minimum frok their own parents which is why when miao jing showed him basic thing. When she let ML feel that next day maybe having struggle but we are in this together. That's what made ML to hold on to her and give her all. That's the very hope that next day atleast I have someone beside me is his way to be happy and define his future. He never thought of himself that concerns me but he already made her his only family. Because she provided him bare minimum that he lacked. What to do???

Ouch...i felt attacked here. Realistic xianxia damn. I realised i loved xianxia because of this. And i am actually brainstorming myself to get one real xianxia but is there one? But i love stories like this as well.

I have watched till ep8 and keeping that as context. Very respectfully i want to just highlight that yes ML gave his all to her to have a very good life. He was more giving here and yes he was always has shoulder the responsibility that he is her family and he will do whatever it takes to have her the best life. But let's not reduce miao jing as only taking person. Since the day she entered in his life she was the only person who has given him lollipop to comfort him, make him soup and feed him when his father electrocuted him, stalling his father so as to make sure chen yi gets to the police academy exam in time but it didn't happened still she missed her own school, then she literally used to wait for him for food. Her giving and love was quiet. She gave chen yi the comfort and care and love that he never experienced in his life..she was his only comfort and light on cruel world and sadly also the reason that chen yi decided to go deep in that darkness just to have her good life. Was it unequal relationship? Idk maybe. But they both bring into table the love and care that both never got from their own family. They both bring into table what they expect familial bond should be.

U mean selective realism? And please this is not to ques ur preference in watching romance. I am just genuinely curious are u saying u want realism of brutality, DV and tough childhood and trauma that happens in real life but in romance u want devotion even when there is no guarantee that they will ever meet? Or future romantic angle? When closure is already given to miao jing by chen yi after rejection? That realism is not what u want? Basically selective realism. Fairy tale romance with touch of real and brutal world?

Am genuinely asking and not attacking or trying to prove anyone wrong.

If not fake then pursuing and having feelings for miao jing while being in real relationship will be unfair to tu li. We don't want an innocent person to get hurt in the process when she is no where wrong. If not fake relationship then whole pursuing each other and flirting will be cheating.
