Are You Safe: Episode 1

notes: Spoilers! master list of all recaps

In the course of this 31 episode drama, if someone doesn’t say “I’m in” after keyboard smashing for 5 seconds, I will be bitterly, bitterly disappointed.

This is Qin Huai, a cyber security expert who lives by two rules. 1. Never break the law. 2. No refunds. He has his own company which consists of himself, his assistant and the cleaning lady. We meet him as he is accepting a new case- the always reliable "rich lady suspects her husband is cheating on her" a tried-and-true entrée which comes with two sides of your choice, in this case "workplace harassment" and "corporate espionage". The client tells Qin Huai her sad tale, with so much detail he is forced to ring his TMI bell.

Qin Huai explains social engineering to his new client and they devise a plan to catch the cheater.

Read on, if you’re 1337 enough.

Qin Huai also tries to find out who the husband is cheating with and quickly realizes that the guy is being catfished. He assumes it's a case of corporate espionage.

He sends a friend request to the girlfriend and is confident he can quickly figure out her identity. But alas, he has met his match and he himself is hacked while giving a community talk on internet security.

Cut to a boardroom where we have the requisite "Nothing must go wrong before the company IPO, so make sure your reputation is spotless" speech.

Ignoring this sound advice, our cheating husband gets a text and arranges to meet his girlfriend. Oh the irony.

The cheater is now at a hotel being pushy and very inappropriate with his girlfriend.

Qin Huai and the man's wife show up and the girlfriend shoves Qin Huai aside to make her escape.

Qin Huai gives chase for several blocks, until both are exhausted. But plot twist! We find out that the girlfriend is not as she first appeared. It's Zhou You, another hacker.

Zhou You is trying to help a friend who was also harassed by this scumbag. Qin Huai realizes that there's a camera in the button of Zhou You's school tie and steals it without Zhou You noticing.

Now Zhou You has to report back to his friend that the mission was a failure, but he doesn't want to give up. She doesn’t share his optimism.

Meanwhile Qin Huai is looking at the files from the tiny camera.

Side note: we find out in a later episode that Zhou You is a runaway who has been working as a game streamer using a female persona to make ends meet.

Qin Huai is impressed with Zhou You’s technical skill.

cut him some slack, you're Tan Jianci and that's a pretty high bar

Final Thoughts

Nothing super unique about this drama, but it does have Tan Jianci and Rong Zishan (who was awesome in The Bad Kids). Quality is pretty good- on par with Under the Skin or Reset. It’s a nice touch to have real security tips at the end of each episode. Who knew you could be hacked through a phone power bank?

This drama is also aware of its product placement, lol

I’m afraid it is necessary- you are contractually obligated to drink that tea while the box is displayed prominently next to you.

Mountains May Depart (2015) & Smog Journeys (2015)

Movies #1,126 & 1,127 • Part of My JIA ZHANGKE Director Focus

This one is pretty great until the final act, which is baffling and more than a bit goofy. The aesthetic vision of 2025 from the perspective of 2015 aside, this segment features some of the most head-scratching dialogue we’ve ever seen in a Jia Zhangke film (a line like “it’s as if Google Translate is your real son” is overtly bad, while something like “now that I can legally own guns, I have nothing to shoot at” is subtly bad).

Also, while I generally appreciate how flippant J.Z. is with the narrative, following and ditching characters on a whim, here it's a detriment. The character of Liangzi is essentially an afterthought at every turn, existing solely as a counterpoint to a life that Zhao Tao might have had, and even as that it feels slight and unnecessary (like he couldn't possibly tell a story without somebody existing on the lower rung).

SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Smog Journeys is a wordless 7-minute short financed by Greenpeace featuring much of the same cast as Mountains May Depart. Pollution is bad, y'all!

SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Huang Bo mentions Wang Yibo in his interview. 🎤

As a senior, is there a sense of crisis in working with young actors?

There should be no sense of crisis about age. When you reach your age, what kind of things do you do. It is just more gratifying. Some young people can grow up slowly and grow strong. There will be more and richer Chinese movies. Different types emerge and better performers. Some creators of performances that go forward and back can continue to keep up. I think it's good, including Rong Zishan or Wang Yibo. In fact, what I can see from them is their earnestness and dedication to the creation itself. I am very moved. We were here recently, and everyone is doing their utmost best trying to find the feelings in the role. We are trying our best to practice, including dancing, and also some of the things that need to be shown in the middle, and we like this way of doing our best.

Looking forward to this movie!!!! 😊😊😊

Duan Yihong plays the driver responsible for a school bus crash that killed all students on board except one (Rong Zishan). Knowing full well his son may have been involved, the father (Aaron Kwok) invites the driver to live in their basement for three…

My review of 雪中悍刀行 / Sword Snow Stride

Sword Snow Stride is the story of Xu Feng Nian, the clever but unambitious son of the ruthless King of Northern Liang. XFN becomes an unwilling participant in a deadly power struggle. As he strengthens himself to protect his loved ones, he rebels against the rules and searches for a unique path.

It took me some time to warm up to this drama but I ended up really enjoying it. You shouldn’t expect this to be a second Joy of Life because the story and style of this drama are very different. Sword Snow Stride has its imperfections but it also has its own strengths.

In addition to Zhang Ruoyun who plays XFN and Hu Jun who plays his father, there is also a lot of star power in the supporting cast. Actors who could easily play first leads in other dramas appear in minor roles here. It’s one of the few dramas where the casting is not limited by the actors’ billing preferences. I honestly found this quite refreshing.

This resulted in some unusual casting choices, but the acting performances throughout the drama are strong and convincing. I especially loved Janice Man as XFN’s domineering sister and Rong Zishan as XFN’s delightful younger brother.

It’s not just the supporting cast. The supporting characters are super interesting. Every character is distinct and memorable from the moment you meet them.

The screenwriter is Wang Juan, one of the best drama writers in China. However, there are definitely imperfections in the writing of Sword Snow Stride. The pacing gets slow in some parts. The plot has a few logical gaps. It also feels like XFN is playing a game on easy mode because he seems to always know exactly what to do, and even when he doesn’t, he has an endless supply of super powerful people who are willing to help him. The supporting characters seem too easy to win over as allies or defeat as enemies. It’s the story of XFN’s journey and growth, but XFN isn’t really challenged by it.

The production quality is generally quite high. The cinematography is strong, the sets are visually appealling, and the costumes are perfect for wuxia. There was some criticism about the dull colouring, but I honestly think that’s because audiences are not used to seeing natural-looking colours. I personally liked the visuals.

For a wuxia drama, the fight scenes are a bit mediocre. People complained about the slow motion and special effects but I was actually fine with that. Those effects are common in wuxia adaptations because high-level fights focus on internal power and abstract stances. For me, the problem was the sloppy choreography. When the characters jump or hover, the wire work isn’t properly coordinated with the actors’ movements so it literally looks like they’re being pulled around on wires. There were continuity errors in the fights too. And some of the fights were quite slow, with major characters standing around and watching.

At first, I wasn’t really feeling the chemistry or connection between XFN and the female lead, Jiang Ni. But late into the drama, I finally understood it. They’re found family to each other, they’re companions, and I became fond of them over time. There’s a lot that is left unsaid between them because the rules of the game dictate that they can’t get too close, but if you look closely, they have their own ways of communicating what can’t be said. I have a separate post about it here: x

There’s something interesting about the soundtrack. It took me a while to realize, but several of the instrumental tracks are thematic transformations on the song that Lao Huang sings at the beginning of the drama.

Sword Snow Stride is not a perfect drama and it’s a little different from what people expected, but I definitely enjoyed it. The drama takes patience because it takes its time to tell its story. For me, it was worth it. I came to love and care about the characters.
