A Beautiful Lie Episode 1
0 people found this review helpful
After a prologue starting "five years before", when the actress and the doctor accidentally bumped into each other (in a generic European looking country, moments before a bomb went off), Qin Fei, her assistant Ke Feifei, Dr. Xing Zhizhi and a team of volunteers from Hexi hospital arrived in the area where Qin Fei was to donate a special and costly surgical knife together with working for 2 weeks as celebrity volunteer with Linkang Hospital. Almost immediately, she had to face a disaster and help the doctor rescuing a wounded child. Most of the characters are introduced, including entertainment company agent Ren Siqi before the team left Hexi, where Ren Siqi had sorted out a misunderstanding when Qin Fei turned aggressive against the person she mistook for a fan crossing the lines.

Things wind swiftly down as this episode gets bloody : several of Uncle Cai's closest people are killed, and the drug dealers find out about a tracker on Dan Tuo's truck so he has to go too, mercifully, at the hands of Uncle Cai, instead of being taken to torture. Nothing can keep Shen Xing anymore if he can find his passport... Last images are somewhat cryptic: Shen Xing receives a text message on his phone. In fact, Uncle Cai watched him drive away and finally agreed to his need for escape.

This episode, mostly about the work of an independent foreign aid teacher called Justin, is also a showcase for songwriter Li Da Huzi's Bob Dylan inspired song "Citizens of the World", which is sung several times in the episode, and replaces the hip-hop rap songs hitherto used at the end of episodes.

Shen Xing helped the police crack down on the casino thugs and free the reporter. But he got implicated, and did not find the expected sweetness alongside Lin Jincui who got targeted by the father of one of her purchases. The police crackdown also destroyed the casino revenue for Uncle Cai, who, after a nightly murder attempt on his life, left for a meditation retreat with the Buddhist temple. Shen Xing, mostly alone in charge of care taking of the compound, was beset by nightmares until one night when he woke up to witness a conflagration.

Despite having freed his uncle at great cost from the lumberjack slave camp, Shen Xing is in two minds about leaving with his debt not fully paid, his wanted status not yet being cleared, and his work prospects seeming better with his gangland brothers than back in his home country.
