Episode 1 recap: Five years later, Min Hui reunites with Xin Qi.
Xin Qi returned from abroad, and the assistant briefed him on the situation in Bincheng. Guangchao Group is the largest medical technology company specializing in medical equipment in Bincheng. The CEO, Cheng Qi Rang, is a leading figure in the industry. His wife, Zheng Yi Ting, is the only daughter of Guangchao's chairman, Zheng Bang Guo. Guangchao Group's biggest competitor in Bincheng is Bai'an Technology, which has risen rapidly in the past three years. It is said that Min Hui, the deputy director of Bai'an, used to work at Guangchao but left for reasons unknown.
After introducing these details, the assistant informed Xin Qi that the party today was specially organized by Cheng Qi Rang to welcome him. Min Hui also attended the event, and people who knew her found it strange because she never participated in such occasions. Min Hui approached Cheng Qi Rang with a glass of wine, and after toasting him, she emptied the glass in one gulp. Then she casually asked him if that was enough, but Cheng Qi Rang shook his head and gave her a direct negative answer. Before attending the party, they had reached an agreement that Cheng Qi Rang wanted Min Hui to seduce him in public.
Min Hui's son, Quan Quan, has congenital heart disease, and his condition has recently become very serious. He is currently hospitalized at Jiaren Hospital in Bincheng, where Dr. Zhou, the attending physician for Quan Quan, is also Min Hui's neighbor. Dr. Zhou informed Min Hui that, based on Quan Quan's current condition, it would be best if Professor Cheng, the industry's leading expert, performed the surgery. Since Cheng Qi Rang knows Professor Cheng, Min Hui sought his help. Cheng Qi Rang then made an unreasonable request, but in order to save her son, Min Hui decided to go along with it.
When Cheng Qi Rang expressed his dissatisfaction, Min Hui sat on his lap and lightly teased his clothes with her fingers. This action immediately caused a commotion in the hall. After performing this act, Min Hui asked Cheng Qi Rang if that was enough. Before he could answer, a glass of wine was suddenly poured over Min Hui's head, and Cheng Qi Rang's wife, Zheng Yi Ting, appeared.
Min Hui wiped away the wine on her face and stood up to apologize to Zheng Yi Ting. However, Zheng Yi Ting remained stubborn, berating Min Hui for seducing her husband and lacking shame. She then grabbed the red wine on the table and splashed it onto Min Hui's face. At that moment, someone walked over and stood in front of Min Hui. To her surprise, it was her ex-boyfriend, Xin Qi. After their breakup five years ago, Xin Qi had gone abroad, and they hadn't been in contact since.
Cheng Qi Rang also recognized Xin Qi but couldn't resist meddling and felt some discontent towards him. He couldn't help but mock Xin Qi for playing the hero to save Min Hui, even though the person he saved was undeserving. Cheng Qi Rang wanted someone to escort Min Hui out, but Xin Qi held Min Hui's hand and walked downstairs. Once they reached the bottom, Min Hui asked Xin Qi about his health, but he didn't respond to her question and instead sarcastically remarked about her willingness to do anything to achieve her goals.
After parting ways with Xin Qi, Min Hui called Cheng Qi Rang, who promised to fulfill his promise and mentioned that Professor Cheng was currently on a plane and would likely arrive in Bincheng soon. Min Hui went to the hospital, put Quan Quan to sleep, and informed Dr. Zhou about the day's events. She expressed her gratitude to her good neighbor, and while they were talking, Min Hui unexpectedly saw Xin Qi.
Xin Qi also had a heart condition and wore a monitor. His mother could remotely monitor his condition through the device. When she noticed Xin Qi's heart rate rising, she instructed him to go to the hospital. In the hospital restroom, Xin Qi coincidentally encountered Quan Quan, and he grew fond of the well-behaved and adorable little boy. Min Hui saw an injured patient being wheeled towards the operating room and knew that Xin Qi was prone to fainting from the sight of blood. She hurriedly stood in front of him to shield him, but Xin Qi not only failed to appreciate her actions but also terminated the cooperation between Baian Technology and Jiaren Hospital.
Since Min Hui was in charge of that project, she discovered that Xin Qi was the major shareholder behind Jiaren Hospital. She tried to persuade Xin Qi but he refused to meet her. Xin Qi was forced into a blind date by his mother and was being held back by the other party, unsure of how to escape. Min Hui approached to help him out and asked for 10 minutes of his time. Xin Qi then held Min Hui's hand and told the blind date partner that Min Hui was his girlfriend.
What on earth is this? How can a drama like this with such low ratings be on the popular list? The storyline is all about outdated clichés thrown together, the dubbing doesn't match the actors' expressions, and what kind of character development does the male lead have?
?? All the misunderstandings and arguments feel forced, forced, forced! Where is the sweetness in all of this?! Usually, I would give a chance to dramas with high ratings, thinking there must be a reason behind it. Sweet dramas are meant to be mindless and provide relief from daily stress, but even fast-forwarding through this drama makes me angry!
What kind of rating is this?! It's been heavily overrated!
Why doesn't Min Hui admit that she has always liked Xin Qi... Why did she agree to go on blind dates? And why did she get close to Zhou Ru Ji!? If Xin Qi were to go on a blind date and get close to another girl... I don't believe that Min Hui wouldn't feel jealous... wouldn't feel sad...
