Cards are all on the table.

From the first episode, this drama has left a deep impression on me, unexpectedly, I dare say. The one-on-one confrontation between Shaobai and Xu Wei is such a gem. Since their last parting, it seems like the two of them always walk on eggshells around each other whenever they accidentally meet during missions or when someone else mentions their names.

However, what happened in this episode really showed that there’s no turning back in their friendship. What’s done is done, and it seems like Xu Wei really can’t be saved anymore. Kudos to all the actors and actresses, though. The age and generation gap didn’t matter at all—they’re all professionals who know exactly what they’re doing.
