Start of the main arc: reviving Teng Yue

We are starting to see layers of the characters


Isn't the male lead every mom's dream son? Not at all. Male arc for quest for acknowledgement starts here. Nope, this is not a melodramatic family tragedy where you have a mistreated son. This is a generational conflict. Older generation being wary of the ways of the younger ones. Male lead wants his mom to understand he is not "evil", he just has a different way from her, but their end goals are the same.


Female lead is still stubborn and prideful, but we are seeing her shed some of her selfishness. It is a good choice that the first Teng Yue problems the drama makes her tackle are relationship based: to employees and creditors. We start to see that she actually adheres to certain ideals, though it looks like she does so in a theoretical manner at this point.


Fave couple part: the car/taxi ride. Again, the drama delivers in showing us the female lead's personality while adding to the ambiguity of the male lead's intentions/feelings.

can't believe I watched this

After watching three episodes, I'm on the verge of falling asleep.Ordinarily, it is my interest to have a growth-oriented heroine to pursue a career, but unfortunately it has so many shortcomings that it is really tasteless. ① The plot is scattered and the amount of information is low. In the first episode, three or four BGM songs are inserted, and the slow-motion close-ups of the same template highlight the charm of the characters. ②The director loves all kinds of meaningless split screens. It can be seen that he has strong PPT skills and is somewhat in the wrong field (Picture 2). ③The plot conforms to the stereotype of domestic idol dramas, which means all the suspended water-injected industrial saccharin is standard. ④The characters are assigned as needed. The creator's understanding of "three-dimensional characters" is to make everyone feel schizophrenic from the beginning.The fatal blow is that all the leading actors have a strong sense of acting. The most terrible thing is Gong Jun. His expressions are exaggerated and his lines are hot-tongued. He no longer has the same visual sense as a good reader. He just stumbles and recites it. His lips, tongue and teeth look like he just bought it. It has never been opened for more than a day. Next is Wu Xuanyi, whose face and expressions are all flat, and she reads the text with emotion when she opens her mouth. Zhong Chuxi has the weakest acting performance among the three.It makes sense to wait for two years
