Post a Comment. September 19, In Between Review. Zhou Yu Tong : Han Su. Zhang Xiao Bo. Network : Youku. Year : Episodes : Preamble: Excuse me as I ramble about this delightfully messed up drama about love and relationships.
Yours truly was a crazy lady yapping to her screen. This isn't a thriller, but I was still on edge, yelling, "Run, girls, run! Heck of a scary scene, yo.
It also leans into the familiar "girls-help-girls" trope, which is admirable, but is overused in Cdramas.

Qi Yu Peng โ first time I've seen a jerk like this and I'm sad for him. He's undoubtedly unlikable, but his weaknesses hit close to home: he refuses to admit his inadequacies are the root of his problems. Who wants to admit we suck and that we're inferior? At work, he blames his boss for his failures, and after his breakup, he pins it all on Han Su. Instead of confronting his own insecurities, he projects them onto others, accusing women of looking down on him when it's really his obsession with status and success that haunts him.
Rather than improving himself through effort, he wants shortcuts, wanting the rewards without the grind. His lows resonate, but his mindset is a path I hope I never find myself on. Qi Yu Peng is simply tragically human. Qi Yu Peng and Han Su are so complicated. It's slightly fascinating that they share the same pessimistic, dark vibe. I had thought they were out of love, but Han Su's tears for his struggles and his genuine concern for her opinion about him revealed the depth of their past connection.
