Broken relationships getting mended is always everyone's favorite storyline, no matter the era. I'm a fan, even though I admit it's cliché. Song Qian's appearance in "City Beautiful" immediately caught my attention. She really has great chemistry, whether it's with the male lead or the second male lead, or even with her cousin.

The plot is so old, so old, so old, so old, so old. The way they showcase the excellence of the female lead is by everyone acting foolishly, creating contrived coincidences and artificiality. The way they showcase the excellence of the male lead is by being two-faced, pretending and creating mysteries. The male lead is set up to be all-powerful, almost godlike, yet he arrogantly harasses the female lead repeatedly, showing no magnanimity or sparks of love in their relationship. Instead, he comes across as petty, mean-spirited, and lacking in manners.
Although I can't really understand why the female lead had to break up so dramatically in just these few episodes, it's just a past relationship. But they insist on involving everyone in the drama, as if the female lead has done something terribly wrong to the male lead and the male lead can't get over her.

It's rare to see someone like me, a passerby, almost fall into the fandom twice and then quickly retreat.

Currently on the seventh episode, it's comfortable. I came for the pull and ambiguity of the reunion after a long separation, and it's enjoyable! Please don't reconcile so quickly!
I've seen some criticisms about certain aspects. I don't know about the , but the female lead's current position is maintaining relationships with major clients. It feels more like sales and management, completely different from Qiao Fei's career path. It's not unreasonable for her to be involved in socializing and not directly translating. I don't know what they're complaining about... I can feel that the female screenwriter has put effort into writing the female lead, rather than making it a city idol drama focused on the male lead's perspective. The male lead's character is down-to-earth. The female lead is mature, rational, and ambitious. She acts decisively and cleanly, with a strong sense of justice and integrity. She has a charismatic personality and exceptional professional abilities! The main characters have their own strengths and weaknesses, and their character development is quite well-rounded.
However, there are a few points. Firstly, in the seventh episode, Lin Xi accompanying the male lead and his godson to participate in the parent-child game and then carrying the female lead to the male lead's house to meet Mr. Tong feels a bit odd. It feels like they deliberately created sweet moments that don't quite fit the female lead's character. Secondly, the close relationship between Mr. Tong's character and the male lead feels too intimate... Coming and going into each other's homes as godfather and godson is a bit strange in real life for adults, although in the drama it's purely a friendship. And thirdly, the appearance and charm of the male supporting character's younger brother are lacking...

Behind different languages are different ways of viewing the world from different civilizations. It's about building a tower of communication, understanding, harmony, and coexistence. It's the boundary of human thought, a truly great endeavor. It's not about clichéd romantic plots, it's not about half-hearted dubbing for foreign languages, and it's not about the low-quality fan economy. I despise plotlines that deliberately make difficult with archaic language. No professional translator lacks a profound understanding of Chinese culture and the Chinese language. "The heavenly path is robust, and the noble person strives for self-improvement. The earthly path is receptive, and the noble person carries virtue and embraces all beings." This statement is not a test for ; it's a fundamental skill for every translator. It's the motto of Tsinghua University, which translates to "self-discipline and social commitment." Many Chinese TV dramas lack both self-discipline and social commitment.

I watched two episodes and it felt like a waste of time. I do like the trope of rekindling a broken relationship, but it's difficult to swallow in this case. I can't sense any genuine connection between the two characters, no indication of how deeply they once loved each other. The plot is thin, revolving around trivial matters that neither the male lead nor the female lead delves into on a meaningful level. Even the highlighted parts of ancient text , which the director presumably thought were impressive, are nothing more than well-known clichés. To create some interaction between the male and female leads, the male lead behaves as if he has some cognitive issues and even resorts to filing a complaint. It's extremely frustrating, and the reasons for their breakup are also absurd. If you can't write a compelling storyline, then don't write one at all. I don't understand the purpose of this drama's existence.

I understand that the female lead wants to portray a professional and socially elite image, but her facial expressions sometimes come across as too fierce. The biggest problem with this drama is that it is airing in 2024, and the effectiveness of chat GPT has improved significantly, making the aspect seem outdated. Especially considering that being a pure interpreter is a career that relies on youthfulness, whether it's English or other foreign languages, the glamorous opportunities either require a background in diplomacy or pursuing a dual major in fields like accounting, finance, or law.

PS: Song Qian, please stop acting. You don't have any acting skills worth mentioning.
Song Qian always has the same hairstyle in every drama and doesn't change it at all? And they even found an English voice dubbing that sounds like her, that's quite thoughtful, haha.
I managed to get through the first two episodes, but starting from the third episode, it became increasingly boring. Who cares if AI can replace real people? Mainland Chinese drama viewers certainly don't.
There was a previous drama starring Yang Mi that had something to do with . After hearing the pronunciation of the s in the drama, I immediately gave up. It gave me goosebumps. This time, I initially had some interest as a fellow translator, but after watching many clips on Douyin, it turns out that doesn't play a significant role.
Perhaps it's just that the screenwriter knows a foreign language.
Currently on the seventh episode, it's comfortable. I came for the pull and ambiguity of the reunion after a long separation, and it's enjoyable!
Please don't reconcile so quickly!
I've seen some criticisms about certain aspects. I don't know about the , but the female lead's current position is maintaining relationships with major clients.
It feels more like sales and management, completely different from Qiao Fei's career path. It's not unreasonable for her to be involved in socializing and not directly translating.
I don't know what they're complaining about... I can feel that the female screenwriter has put effort into writing the female lead, rather than making it a city idol drama focused on the male lead's perspective.
The male lead's character is down-to-earth. The female lead is mature, rational, and ambitious. She acts decisively and cleanly, with a strong sense of justice and integrity.
She has a charismatic personality and exceptional professional abilities! The main characters have their own strengths and weaknesses, and their character development is quite well-rounded.
However, there are a few points. Firstly, in the seventh episode, Lin Xi accompanying the male lead and his godson to participate in the parent-child game and then carrying the female lead to the male lead's house to meet Mr.
Tong feels a bit odd. It feels like they deliberately created sweet moments that don't quite fit the female lead's character. Secondly, the close relationship between Mr.
Tong's character and the male lead feels too intimate... Coming and going into each other's homes as godfather and godson is a bit strange in real life for adults, although in the drama it's purely a friendship.
And thirdly, the appearance and charm of the male supporting character's younger brother are lacking...
In Western literature and , we already have masterpieces like "Tower of Babel," where language is magic, and is betrayal. Why can't our TV dramas show a little bit of respect for ?
Behind different languages are different ways of viewing the world from different civilizations. It's about building a tower of communication, understanding, harmony, and coexistence.
It's the boundary of human thought, a truly great endeavor. It's not about clichéd romantic plots, it's not about half-hearted dubbing for foreign languages, and it's not about the low-quality fan economy.
I despise plotlines that deliberately make difficult with archaic language. No professional translator lacks a profound understanding of Chinese culture and the Chinese language.
"The heavenly path is robust, and the noble person strives for self-improvement. The earthly path is receptive, and the noble person carries virtue and embraces all beings." This statement is not a test for ; it's a fundamental skill for every translator.
It's the motto of Tsinghua University, which translates to "self-discipline and social commitment." Many Chinese TV dramas lack both self-discipline and social commitment.
Not... the female lead, you truly... in your perception, when your ex-boyfriend with a child, who you think has a family, joins an event with you.
When he asks you, "Do you prefer the past me or the present me?" Your initial reaction is not "Are you crazy?
Get lost!
That's just too loving.
Xiao Yi Cheng and Lin Xi have understood each other the best over the past years. When Lin Xi helps Xiao Yi Cheng, she even finds excuses to make it seem conditional. Xiao Yi Cheng looks at her with a knowing expression, a sense of indulgence that he understands deep down.
I'm a bit lost in their endearing dynamics.
Oh my goodness, Chen Xing Xu in this drama is even worse than in the drama next door. It's really overdone, and because I quite liked "The Next Stop Is Happiness" and was looking for another enjoyable drama, but...
His acting skills are also lacking. The drama is called "Our Interpreter," yet whenever there's a foreign language spoken, it's dubbed over. I find it particularly hard to understand. Is a little bit of respect too much to ask for?
If you feel like you can't do it, then don't take on the role...
Finally, a drama worth binge-watching after a long time. I'm at episode seven now, and the story's pacing is excellent. It balances the romantic storyline and the career storyline. The female lead is like a spokesperson for working professionals.
The flashback scenes of the male lead pursuing Lin Xi are hilarious. He's truly timid and clueless, while Lin Xi knows how to play her cards. Looking forward to the updates.
Heavens, the kind of leader that working people yearn for is someone like Lin Xi. When something goes wrong with the subordinates, they take the lead in resolving it without shifting blame or shirking responsibility.
They also strive to maximize the interests and benefits for their employees, not just being professionally strong as a chief translator, but also displaying considerable skills in interpersonal relationships.
I enjoy watching this type of drama, and I tend to automatically overlook the imperfect aspects because both the male and female leads are actors I like. Their acting is also quite natural.
It's a good way to pass the time when I'm bored, and there are some funny moments in it too~
I watched two episodes and it felt like a waste of time. I do like the trope of rekindling a broken relationship, but it's difficult to swallow in this case. I can't sense any genuine connection between the two characters, no indication of how deeply they once loved each other.
The plot is thin, revolving around trivial matters that neither the male lead nor the female lead delves into on a meaningful level. Even the highlighted parts of ancient text , which the director presumably thought were impressive, are nothing more than well-known clichés.
To create some interaction between the male and female leads, the male lead behaves as if he has some cognitive issues and even resorts to filing a complaint. It's extremely frustrating, and the reasons for their breakup are also absurd.
If you can't write a compelling storyline, then don't write one at all. I don't understand the purpose of this drama's existence.
Both main characters are masters of sharp remarks. They know exactly what the other person cares about the most and deliberately choose words that hit right at the heart. The incredible understanding between them makes their interactions quite anguishing.
However, their eyes never lie. Even when they say heartless things, they are three parts sad themselves. No wonder I'm hooked on this drama.
I enjoy this kind of dragged-out storyline, it's quite entertaining and goes well with a meal. The only downside is that some plot points feel too contrived and the sweetness feels forced.
Overall, it's still good. I hope the subsequent storyline stays steady and they don't get together too soon. Let the tension build up a bit more.
The first episode was a bit awkward, but it got better as it went on. The bugs and illogical parts were within tolerable limits. CXX can clearly speak well, so why is it that in the drama shot around the same time, he suddenly turns into a water buffalo next door?
The battle between CEO Xiao and Cheng Yao at the dinner table was absolutely thrilling. The way they subtly competed with each other was so intense, it was impossible to separate them.
However, poor Grandma Li felt a bit awkward. Even though she was enjoying the delicious West Lake Fish in Vinegar Gravy, all she could say was, "It lacks flavor.
Our Interpreter" male lead doesn't mind letting the female lead know that his study abroad life in the United States was his dark moment. He didn't do well after leaving her. The male lead is really straightforward. Although they were separated for eight years, they both became better versions of themselves and even saved a place for each other.
Sometimes, even if you take a detour, you will still meet the right person in the end.
Usually, when they hype up a character, shouldn't they at least make an effort to act the part properly? And what's with the dubbing for this drama? I remember seeing similar things in other shows, and it's confusing because they're trying too hard to be pretentious.
It's so off-putting that I can't continue watching, and it seems like all the positive reviews are from overly enthusiastic fans. It's ruining my goodwill towards the show.
I feel like I've been scammed by this drama. It got me excited for nothing. Dear translator, at least there should be some chemistry between the main characters. This show lacks substance. The writer seems to have regressed a lot.
I suggest Chen Xing Xu try a historical political intrigue genre instead, preferably with good music accompaniment.
Zhang Ruo Nan is beautiful and her crying scenes are pretty good, but after watching two of her dramas, I find them somewhat repetitive. Her character lacks charisma, and her performance is average.
Chen Xing Xu, on the other hand, portrays the finicky top-notch lawyer perfectly, although I'm not quite accustomed to the dubbed lines.
I understand that the female lead wants to portray a professional and socially elite image, but her facial expressions sometimes come across as too fierce. The biggest problem with this drama is that it is airing in 2024, and the effectiveness of chat GPT has improved significantly, making the aspect seem outdated.
Especially considering that being a pure interpreter is a career that relies on youthfulness, whether it's English or other foreign languages, the glamorous opportunities either require a background in diplomacy or pursuing a dual major in fields like accounting, finance, or law.
If the female lead wants to work for the United Nations, it would be more in line with her ambitions to switch from being an interpreter to a diplomat.
I kind of like Lin Xi and Sasha, the cousin sisters. One is experienced and down-to-earth, not pretending or putting on airs. She knows who her cousin is and gives polite guidance. The other is confident but not blindly so.
She questions one moment and admires the next. Deep down, they both have a kind of inherited temperament. I feel like if they collaborate, they would be very efficient.
Xiao Yi Cheng becomes particularly emotional when facing Lin Xi. He is unwilling to accept the idea that he needs to prove himself worthy, but if someone suggests that Lin Xi is not good enough for him, he will readily explain how he relentlessly pursued Lin Xi...
It's a series of steaming, boiling, and head-bumping moments.
Overall, I feel that the workplace aspect of the drama is decent. Song Qian indeed delivers a convincing performance in urban dramas. The styling is also fashionable. As for the emotional aspect, I think the earlier plotline involving the "son" was purely childish and nonsensical, a wasted opportunity!
If the focus had been on the development of the female lead and the second male lead, it could have been better... Overall, I would rate it 4.5 out of 5.
This is the sense of destiny. After going round and round, they realized that they are most suitable for each other. The positions and abilities of the two chief executives are irreplaceable by ordinary individuals.
The similar development paths in different fields destined Xiao Yi Cheng and Lin Xi to mutually support each other and make progress in their careers. They have truly found their soulmate.
Xiao Yi Cheng was well aware that the conditions Lin Xi mentioned as an excuse for helping him with sponsorship were clear lies. However, he still chose to believe, desperately wanting to have no resentment towards Lin Xi.
Yet, he couldn't ignore the eight years that had passed between them, feeling a sour and swollen sensation in his heart. Damn my cursed empathy skills.
No matter how tough someone's mouth may be, deep down, they have a soft side. Xiao Yi Cheng's soft spot for Lin Xi can be seen through various "behind-the-scenes maneuvers," while Lin Xi's softness only amounts to a cooperative introduction, a candied hawthorn stick, and a smile after getting drunk.
Complex emotions and rapidly shifting stances are the norm when former lovers reunite. Xiao Yi Cheng's temper and gentleness are not contradictory. Lin Xi's responses almost directly determine his attitude. Upon closer analysis of their character logic, we can discern many traces of their love for each other.
The colleagues around Lin Xi and Xiao Yi Cheng are like divine helpers, exposing Xiao Yi Cheng's tsundere nature of caring silently but not wanting to be discovered by everyone. Now, looking at the dog-loving husband-chasing character, I can only say that the colleagues should get a raise.
It's clearly the boss's operating system replacement!
