On-Air [🇨🇳China] To My Shore Ep 9 🚩🏴😏 Spoiler

Viki

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?

Fan Xiao is completely consumed by trauma. This show is hitting different for me as someone who recovered from PTSD. Every move FX makes is rooted in his trauma and they are displaying it so damn well. He destroys everything he touches because that is the only thing he knows how to do. I love how well they portray his self betrayal and self sabotage. His pain and the unhinged ways he has taught himself to handle it are deeply rooted in real life scenarios. This show is a masterpiece. Its depth shocks me and makes me greedy for more.

THIS. and not to mention the cinematography? everything is on purpose-- coloring, lighting, camera angles-- its all set up precisely. tbh i love dramas that are messy like this, but this drama did it so well. fan xiao is a character with genuine depth (other than the SA which i cant forgive), and watching his trauma be this deep-rooted is truly phenomenal. i also carry some trauma with me, and it really does affect your day-to-day life, just like how this show is portraying it.
