Gentle Entanglement

Synopsis

Huo Sinian grew up as the adopted daughter of the Huo family. When the orphanage that raised her fell into financial trouble, she agreed to marry Gu Beichen, the illegitimate son of the Gu family, to secure the money needed to keep it open. On her way to the marriage arrangement, she got into the wrong car and ended up with Gu Jiuci, Gu Beichen's nephew. The mistake put her in his company longer than either of them expected, and during that time Gu Jiuci realized she was the girl he had known and liked as a child. Once he placed her, he began pursuing her openly and without holding back. Huo Sinian kept the marriage to Gu Beichen moving forward because the orphanage's future still depended on it. She was drawn to Gu Jiuci but could not act on it while the arrangement with his uncle remained unresolved, and she went back and forth over what to do about the orphanage and about him. Eventually Huo Sinian and Gu Jiuci acknowledged what had grown between them. Together they uncovered the crimes Gu Beichen had committed, bringing them out into the open. Huo Sinian and Gu Jiuci ended up together.

Episode 1 might make you go "what IS this lunatic" and bail. He's my favorite short-drama actor and even I hesitated. Please stay with it!! The acting is unreal, the way his eyes go, the way he smiles, each one gets me >_<

My favorite of his modern-set work and honestly my favorite short drama full stop. You get the complete unhinged-psycho performance, and I'd say his acting leveled up here. If you're working through his filmography, this is the one.

The plot is hard to follow and never really comes together. With all the flashbacks and dream sequences, the pacing has no tension at all…
