I have never been interested in the economy, so I decided to download and watch this American drama after seeing a great god recommend it. It's not easy to procrastinate for several months to finish the 12 episodes of the first season.
The background of the story is simple: in the political and economic fields of New York City, U.S. Attorney General Chuck Rhodes and billionaire Bobby Axelrod launched a battle over money and law.
Businessmen pursue profits, legal affairs are upright, and they stand on both ends of the balance of power in this world. Neither side has the ambition to do both. However, as pioneers and upgraders of their own jungle laws, they must step on the other side.
There are always opponents in reality, but it is hard to find the right opponent in creation. The bosses on both sides are full of auras, and their teams are also very smart and efficient, so a beautiful scene of fairy fights has formed: the damage value of the moves is very large, the attack and defense are powerful, and the other side is hindered in layers, and they can't get any benefit from biting for a long time. It's wonderful!
Of course, the job descriptions involving Wall Street investment banks are also very vivid. In this world, which is even more magical than Hollywood, there are too many cold bloods and grays, as well as ups and downs of fortune and gambling. Because it is cold and restrained enough, I would prefer this kind of financial works. Unlike politicians, who are too biased towards human control and operation; here, you also need to compete with numbers. So you can be omnipotent, but you can never be a god. Only by feeling can you know how addictive and dangerous this taste is.
And the roles of the two protagonists' wives in the play are also very exciting. One is a stubborn wife who has been with a tough personality from scratch, and the other is Bai Fumei, a psychoanalyst with excellent IQ who graduated from a famous school. As the billionaire's entrepreneurial partner, Bai Fumei stood in the middle of the scale in the confrontation between the two sides, and she only tried her best to balance without getting burned. But in the end, he underestimated the impact of the situation and retreated, which was fierce enough.
Looking forward to the follow-up!
