Episode 10 recap: Mu Di and William run a company.
Mu Di and William run a company.During a dinner gathering, Bai Lang distributed money to everyone and announced that they would continue registering the company. He spoke from the heart and expressed his thoughts to everyone, which touched them deeply. Just as they were cheering on Bai Lang and Huang Tao to kiss each other, Mu Di approached and called Bai Lang outside.
Mu Di questioned why Bai Lang allowed William to spend one million buying his company. Bai Lang claimed that it was William's insistence to make the purchase. Mu Di felt disappointed and demanded that Bai Lang return all the money to William. Bai Lang stated that he had already distributed it among the brothers, so Mu Di decided to retrieve it himself. Bai Lang blocked Mu Di's way, and Mu Di accused Bai Lang of having no moral boundaries. Bai Lang, feeling annoyed, heartlessly said that Mu Di deserved it and that her dream was worthless compared to the life of a brother's daughter. Bai Lang then turned and walked away, leaving Mu Di standing still.
After returning home, Mu Di consulted her older sister about what to do. Mu Tong didn't think it was a big deal and even supported Mu Di in staying and pursuing music with William. However, Mu Di was still troubled, feeling responsible for the one million. Mu Tong didn't allow her to shoulder the blame and believed that William's actions were carefully considered.
The next day, Mu Di met with William to discuss the company's matters. She argued that the company wasn't worth one million, but William firmly believed that Mu Di was worth it. He claimed that it was the most worthwhile one million he had ever spent in his life. Mu Di directly expressed her unwillingness to start a company with William and accused him of pressuring her into signing with him. William, ignoring her concerns, insisted that she should repay the money and threatened to keep her in Beijing. William recalled the advice Huang Jin had given him before and pretended to be poor, claiming that he had borrowed six hundred thousand just to buy the company. Mu Di was speechless and helpless, with nothing more to say.
Mu Di sought out Bai Lang and apologized, stating that she would no longer pursue the money he owed her. She requested Bai Lang to terminate the contract with William, but Bai Lang coldly refused and then left. Mu Di felt extremely upset and invited Xu Huan to have a meal together. She shared what had happened with Xu Huan, who felt a hint of jealousy towards William's dedication to Mu Di. Nevertheless, Xu Huan provided advice similar to Bai Lang's, suggesting that Mu Di should forget about the one million and return directly to Beijing. However, Mu Di felt unable to do something so unethical, understanding that it might only lead to Bai Lang changing his mind. Xu Huan listened from the opposite side, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
Qu Wen Wen visited the company to see the poor and penniless William, bringing food along. William's stomach was growling, so he reluctantly accepted. Although Qu Wen Wen also believed that the one million wasn't worth it, she still supported William's decision.
Mu Di couldn't focus on her work as she kept thinking about the one million. When William found out, he reassured her that it was his insistence to spend that money and advised her not to feel too much pressure. However, Mu Di's mind remained in turmoil, expressing her desire to have some quiet time.
Mu Di sat by the seaside, contemplating recent events with a chaotic heart. At that moment, William messaged her, apologizing for the trouble he had caused her and urging her to follow her heart. He also mentioned that he would discuss the follow-up matters with Bai Lang to find a solution. After reading the message, Mu Di didn't feel relieved. She didn't want to abandon William, so she sent him a sample and arranged to meet at the company at 2 PM. William was delighted upon receiving the message.
Back at home, Mu Di announced to her family that she had decided to collaborate with William in running a music company. Mu Di's parents fully supported her, although they wished for her to stay in Wei Hai. However, Mu Di stated that if there were any developments in Beijing, she would still return there. Her parents felt a bit disappointed, and the atmosphere became gloomy, but fortunately, Mu Tong was there to mediate.
Imagination is beautiful, but reality can be cruel. The music that William and Mu Di created disappeared into the depths of the internet, leaving them bewildered. At that moment, a client who had previously signed a hundred-day banquet contract with Bai Lang approached them. William's eyes lit up, considering taking on the project and trying to bring Bai Lang back to assist them. However, Mu Di disagreed and said that she could handle it herself.
William and Mu Di worked tirelessly, but the client was dissatisfied with the outcome and requested a refund. William was unwilling to comply, and tensions escalated to the point of almost turning violent. Fortunately, Mu Di intervened promptly, pacifying the client and agreeing to the refund. However, they had already paid a deposit for the transportation team and didn't know what to do next.
I used to really like this drama, but now I suddenly don't like it anymore. Why should they use the kindness of the female lead to fulfill their lives? Does the female lead owe them anything?
Except for William, none of the others even bothered to say sorry. Especially the male lead, he blames the female lead for having only dreams. The female lead grew up being pampered by her parents, never having to worry about money, and she won't have to worry about it in the future either.
Why should she try to understand them? Although the female lead's parents may want their child to be by their side, it's definitely not in this way. The male lead's character lacks a sincere apology.
First of all, in the episode with the fishing boat, it's true that the male lead mistreated the female lead, and he wasn't good in that aspect. Secondly, regarding William buying the company, the price he offered cannot be refused.
The male lead didn't force William to make the purchase; they both benefited from it.
Secondly, it's normal for the female lead to feel deceived and to blame herself. She thinks it's because of her that William deceived her.
However, she doesn't know the whole story. William was also deceiving her along with the male lead. So, it's not entirely the male lead's fault. They both have issues, as the female lead mentioned, one unwilling to refund money and the other unwilling to give up shares.
And let's not bring up moral coercion or anything like that. The fact that the female lead has shares in the company doesn't prevent her from going to Beijing. It's just that this situation has left her speechless and conflicted.
Arguments can easily escalate when emotions are involved.
I don't see any issue with the male lead's character. He prioritizes money for the sake of his livelihood, his sick mother, and his numerous siblings. Dignity and money are not even comparable; having money allows his family and friends to live a good life, and the sick girl can afford her surgery.
The company is not just about him; he needs to consider everyone's situation. Moreover, that one million has nothing to do with the female lead. When comparing dreams and staying alive, of course, staying alive takes precedence.
Dreams should be built on a level without financial pressure, that belongs to the realm of the spiritual. How can one's spirit be enriched if their physical being is not well-off?
I'm extremely angry. I feel like the plot of this drama completely destroys one's sense of values. The male lead is essentially morally blackmailing others. Why should he use the female lead's dreams to pay for his brother's daughter's life?
They didn't even know each other before, and the female lead is capable and financially able to support him in achieving his dreams. After the viral spread of the internet hit song, the female lead could have easily returned to Beijing and pursued her own dreams.
The male lead selling the company was solely because of the female lead, which allowed him to sell it at such a high price. Despite knowing this, the male lead still acts this way. And the female lead is too weak and cowardly. It's not her fault, and she could have pursued her own dreams.
All the supporting characters want him to stay in this city. Why can't the female lead go out and pursue her own dreams? Everyone is only thinking about themselves, selfish and self-serving!
The character of the male lead has been terrible since the first episode. Yes, he is loyal and values friendship, but can't they handle their own messes instead of relying on others all the time?
Right from the start, he deceived the female lead's second uncle into renting a boat for a useless purpose, which ended up costing the female lead's family 100,000 yuan to take over the boat.
Maybe the female lead's family can afford to lose that amount, but why should he be entitled to that money? Later on, he deceived the female lead for his own benefit. To put it plainly, he just wanted the female lead to work for him and make money for him.
He even continuously pressured the female lead to go against her own wishes. After the female lead finally built up her own company with great difficulty, it's even more ridiculous that he sold her out and then stood on a moral high ground, accusing the female lead.
I've said it before, what does Old Pan's daughter, who supposedly died, have to do with the female lead? It was the male lead's own incompetence that prevented him from making money and caused her death.
He has no shame. When I see this, I feel like this TV drama is just a perverted man's imagination. Why would a good girl, who comes from a good family, has a high education, and is even attractive and sought after by others, be with a disrespectful, uncomprehending, and even manipulative guy like him, who only has a middle school education, no career, and no character?
Have his friends ever respected the female lead in any way? Yes, he has protected the female lead, but if it weren't for the male lead, the female lead wouldn't have encountered all those problems in the first place.
She wouldn't have needed him. You can't let a stray dog bite someone and then step forward to save them and expect them to be grateful for your kindness, can you?
I initially really liked this drama, it was the first one I watched in 2024, but I stopped liking it from this episode onwards. I've dropped it. The female lead is clueless from beginning to end, constantly deceived by the male lead and Huang Jin.
The female lead has her own dreams and doesn't need to worry about money. The male lead and Huang Jin took advantage of her kindness. When William told him about wanting to start a company with the female lead, he should have told her and not deceived her into signing a share transfer agreement.
What I dislike the most is how Huang Tao treated the female lead as a commodity. William is also at fault, the biggest fault lies with the male lead and his group of friends. It feels like this drama has a bit of a grudge against the wealthy. What does the female lead have to do with the things that happened to the male lead and his friends?
Why should she be sold off to help them? From a realistic perspective, they didn't do anything wrong, but they deceived and manipulated her. They will forever owe the female lead an apology. I support the female lead's best friend in going back to Beijing.
And why does William, who is so wealthy, know that the female lead wants to return to Beijing but insists on keeping her by the male lead's side? They've been bullying her from the beginning to the end just because of her kindness. I can't believe that the male lead's family and career and William's dreams are being forced onto the female lead.
She should go back to Beijing and pursue her own dreams. I really dislike the male lead and his group of friends. Watching a drama is supposed to be for happiness, but after finishing this, I feel really down. It's realistic, but I don't want to say anymore.
I wish everyone who enjoys watching this drama a happy day.
This won't do, this won't do. I'm really angry after watching ten episodes in one go. First, "Sea Burial" deceived the female lead's second uncle into renting a boat for a sea burial, but in the end, they made the female lead's parents foot the bill.
Then they went to the male lead to ask for the money back and seek justice. The male lead acted like he's poor and justified his actions, which was really unreasonable and disgusting.
Although he agreed to repay the money in the end, it was because of that police officer. But even that police officer took care of them because of the female lead. Second, although it's legal to sell his own company, he knew William's intentions and knew that the female lead was only there to help him repay the money quickly.
Yet, he still sold the company for his own selfish interests, which indeed benefited his brothers, but his sense of righteousness and morality was just a suggestion when it came to the responsibility of the female lead.
Really, from a realistic perspective, this kind of character for the male lead is really detestable, and then they develop an emotional storyline... (This criticism is only directed at this TV drama and its plot.
I really like the actors, and their acting is great! But I just can't accept the storyline.) Did no one consider the feelings of the female lead? Why is she trapped in a situation where she can't escape just because she wants to help someone repay their debts, all because of her strong sense of responsibility...
It's really frustrating in the middle of the night...
The male lead is really problematic so far. He rented a fishing boat to deceive people. He tricked the female lead into investing in order to help the police.
He refunded the contract money to destroy someone's car, and later he sold the company behind the female lead's back. The second male lead deserves to be tricked since he's rich.
Can this company be sold for 1 million without the female lead? Every day, he either deceives the female lead or tries to manipulate her from a moral high ground.
He's not sincere at all! As for whether he will change later on, we'll have to wait and see.
