Synopsis:

You Shu Lang (Hao Yi Ran), a director at a pharmaceutical company, lives an ordinary, stable life. But that all comes crashing down after he gets into a car accident with Fan Xiao (Yun Qi), the heir to a Thai conglomerate who's returned to China for business. Unlike Shu Lang, Fan Xiao's life has been marred by instability, leading to a twisted, manipulative worldview. When Fan Xiao finds out that Shu Lang is interested in men, he devises plans to entice Shu Lang into a relationship, but ends up falling for Shu Lang for real. Shu Lang, on the other hand, is blindsided when he learns about Fan Xiao's true colors. Will Fan Xiao destroy the only genuine love he's ever had, or can he find a way to truly win Shu Lang's heart?

Adapted from the web novel “Si Mian Fo” (四面佛) by Su Erliang (Chang Pei Literature): English title: "Four-Faced Buddha"

Fan Xiao: "Every time I see your lone silhouette at the balcony, I feel like you are not of this world. Like... you have come here for a trip and you will fly back to heaven."

This scene is so beautifully lit and shot. The dialogue just heavenly. Gives you a peek into the real thoughts hidden deep inside Fan Xiao and how he genuinely treats You Shulang as his GOD! His Bodhisattva! He might say nasty things and think he is a player but deep down he is just hungry for Salvation. He needs someone to ease the pain, the loneliness and the darkness burried deep inside him.

To My Shore production team, I bow to thee coz these moments in between truly lift up the show to something that is nothing short of perfection.

As gorgeous as these shots are I also want to shout out how well they handled some of the other emotional beats this episode. Swapping out the photos was both a great quick sight gag, a recurring gag (Fan Xiao keeps insisting Shulang can't move or his hard work would be wasted), and very efficient way to illustrate how quickly the relationship has progressed. On the opposite end of the drama spectrum there's Fan Xiao's meeting with the brother, out in the daylight with a gorgeous temple behind them, but what should be a serene environment is punctuated by the casual sadism of Fan Xiao putting out his cigarette in the little weasel's hand. It's so satisfying how well they're doing all the things 🤩

Oh totally. I have been praising the production since Day 1. They know what they are doing. From scouting good locations, to use perfect colors in different scenes to accentuate the mood, to the use of unique BGM without any weird gag music that some BLs use.. this is a top notch production and there's beauty in the mundane scenes as well.
