I am a fan of Luo Yunxi and had been looking forward to seeing him in something completely different with a thriller-type plot so I watched it when it came out.
Unfortunately, after many years and at least three rounds with the censors this drama was butchered beyond recognition. Any hint of the main themes of corporate espionage and ZXS's abusive upbringing that made him a perfect spy was blown away in favor of padding with 1) an annoying office bullying plot for the FL and 2) a completely irrelevant secondary couple story line that were obviously paid for by their management. They cut so many of ZXS's scenes - even ones used in the promo material!! Not to mention the infamous beating scene which took two painful days to shoot and we got like two seconds of it.
Normally I would drop something this bad but I hate-watched it for xixi and was rewarded by his tragic acting in the last few episodes. The only other bright spot was his 'sister' Mo Li - an interesting character well acted, but again her backstory was completely removed which was frustrating.
Giving this a 4 just because of Luo Yunxi and in memorium to all the deleted scenes and whatever the director's initial intentions were.
