First a man, then a woman

Jasmine was originally a first-class skier, but unfortunately was injured and away from the competition. So she began a life of fighting and competing with the men she called "arbitrary acts".

The first job: female assistant plus poker assistant, but was fired by the boss because she earned too much.

Second job: Started a new poker game with an actor in a five-star hotel. It seemed that Jasmine was indeed the boss, but the actor was "fired" by the behind-the-scenes boss because Jasmine's salary was too high.

Third job: Jasmine starts over in another place, raises the entrance fee, and creates the myth of the game. But because of the blow of a gangster, not only was the home robbed, but he was also beaten severely.

Jasmine didn't cry after being beaten, only anger; after being tricked by the actor, she didn't cry, only anger. It was only when her father told her that she wanted to beat the gang that beat her back then, did she cry, and of course, I cried too.

It's a very strange drama. There is no male lead. When Jasmine is helpless, I feel normal. I don't think she is pitiful, just think she is normal. So, maybe this is life, we need to fight for ourselves, not a man to protect.

    Larry Bloom: I'm not.

    Molly Bloom: It wasn't a purse snatcher, Dad. It was the mafia.

    Larry Bloom: I don't care if it's the leader of the mob. Someone put their hand on you, they're gonna suffer.

    Molly Bloom: Dad, I'm fine.

    Larry Bloom: No, they're gonna suffer.

    Molly Bloom: Dad, I'm alright. Really, I'm fine.

  • Douglas Downey: There's a poem... a famous... uh... a poem about... thoughts left unexpressed. "Two roads emerged from the woods. Do they explode? I dunno" You like poetry?
