Xia yu fan death11/20/2023 I am a romance addict – should not be a reason to watch this. Romance – because I know what you guys think of me, and you are right. The extra episode tips everything to a new balance with a deal with the devil. The special episode makes Part 2 better than had it ended at Ep20, which was clean and satisfactory but predictable. Will our ML be able to solve the case and take down the corrupt lawyer? Are his friends his foes or are his foes his friends? By the end, it’s definitely not what it seems. Who is on our ML’s side? Without spoiling, all I can say is that it's not what it seems. After I understand the dynamic relationships between the lawyers, Part 2 becomes much more compelling. That’s the only fault in this drama for me. To sort through everything, the drama loses tension and accumulates confusion. There’s a lot of plot (for a lack of better word) stacked with so many characters, cases, and names, it was really hard keeping track. But why would I want to at all? Because Part 2 is slow. I can’t rate this low even if I wanted to. This is quality plot meets stellar actors. All of them are bloodthirsty and all of them refer to Han Bin As Han Bin leaves, we see his necklace in focus: it's Anubis, the ancient Egyptian god of the dead. Because Han Bin IS a serial murderer?! Han Bin says he was only trying to help. Qiao Shao Ting recites a line: “For heaven's sake catch me before I kill more I cannot control myself.” It’s a line by William Heirens, the lipstick killer. Qiao Shao Ting thought Han Bin was only interested in serial murderers, but he was wrong. Is our show hinting that Han Bin is like a Ran Sen who (had) gotten away with his crimes!? Btw, Ran Sen was a lawyer too. Is QST calling HB a serial killer who hasn’t been caught yet?! Qiao Shao Ting is confident he didn’t misunderstand Han Bin and the blindspot. Qiao Shao Ting mentions the Zodiac Killer (the unidentified serial killer to this day). Han Bin says humans are dangerous indeed. Qiao Shao Ting nods that he should be grateful because if he fails, Zhang Zheng will make Han Bin be the next man up. Han Bin toasts with Qiao Shao Ting for winning the case and taking down Kuang Bei Ping. Qiao Shao Ting was never alone! They’re supporting him in the shadows because they can’t stand in the front lines with him: Zhang Zheng has to consider the future of their firm and every employee, and Xue Dong has to consider his own career because he works under Kuang Bei Ping. The only reason Zhang Zheng didn’t recommend Han Bin earlier was to avoid directly antagonizing Kuang Bei Ping, but now there’s no choice. There’s Han Bin, the lawyer who’s from a family of lawyers who rather work as a bartender than show up at the firm where he’s a senior partner. This riles Xue Dong, who emphasizes to Zhang Zheng that Xiao Zhen can be sacrificed, but that doesn’t mean she has to be sacrificed. Plus, who will help Qiao Shao Ting? Aw?! You mean they were both helping QST all along?! Zhang Zheng has a backup plan. They’re discussing Xiao Zhen and how Kuang Bei Ping wants to ruin her so that she can’t help Qiao Shao Ting anymore. Xue Dong and Zhang Zheng have another secret rendezvous, this time in the washroom. Hong Tu was Qiao's disciple who now defies him because she’s sick of living in his shadows. Xue Dong was lecturing Zhang Zheng that if he really treats Qiao as a buddy, and not a dog, then Zhang should do the biting instead. Zhang Zheng looks like he’s on Qiao's side but his expressions are so grave which confuses me. Xue Dong is helping Kuang Bei Ping take down Qiao. Kuang Bei Ping hates Qiao Shao Ting (because Qiao voted him out of the director position, hence Kuang is in a new firm). However, behind every successful man there is a wife ( Tang Chu) who wants to divorce him, and there are enemies who want to take him down. Dude just walked out of court, winning a lawsuit, and as he’s stopped at the parking lot by another lawyer, settling another case, all the while he’s on the phone, giving advice on how to win a third case. He hasn't lost a case and is currently juggling at least three in the first ten minutes of the show.
