"Unnatural Fire" Episode 35: Obsessions, Scams & Cemetery Dust

Let’s unpack this ep’s Unnatural Fire drama where Jin Chun’s overseas life gets messier than a noodle shop brawl, while stalker-ish behavior and real estate scams take center stage. Buckle up!

Cold Noodles, Hot Tempers

Xu Tongsheng and Han Jun’s passive-aggressive bromance hits new lows over… soup. While Xu insists Jin Chun will return from America soon, Han Jun smugly counters that he understands her needs better (subtle flex, sir). His secret? Providing "emotional support" to our "strong-but-vulnerable" forensic heroine. The tension boils over when Han Jun accidentally spills hot soup on himself, throws a tantrum over ice packs, and storms out after accusing Xu of using "low-level tricks." Meanwhile, Xu side-eyes Han Jun’s upcoming trip to the Americas like it’s a Bond villain scheme.

Stalker Alert 101

Suspicions escalate as Xu Tongsheng discovers Han Jun’s habit of lurking near Dongqiao Welfare Institute and Jin Chun’s apartment. With help from Shen Ye, Xu combs through surveillance footage and confirms: Han Jun’s been tailing Jin Chun like a creepy shadow. Xu warns Jin Chun during a call to Zeng Mingfang (after rudely shooing the woman away under the guise of "gossip"). Our girl’s response? A calm "I’ll contact the embassy if needed." Queen of composure!

Housing Hell & A Mysterious Roomie

Jin Chun’s overseas life hits a snag when her landlady kicks her out to reclaim the apartment for her jailbird son (priorities, amirite?). After frantic apartment hunting, she falls victim to a rental scam, only to be rescued by quirky stranger Lian Xiangqin—a girl who offers her a temporary room with serious "I-might-be-a-red-flag" vibes. Xiangqin’s oddities pile up:

  • She hates alarm clocks (dramatically smashes Jin Chun’s).
  • Trauma-dumps about her dead mom and "special wake-up methods" from an ex.
  • Relentlessly grills Jin Chun about her relationship with "the学长" (Han Jun, obviously).

Despite the chaos, Jin Chun agrees to stay. Bad idea? Probably.

Graveyard Revelations

Back in China, Shen Ye plans to relocate He Runian’s remains, prompting Xu Tongsheng to visit Han Jun’s mother Zou Zhiwei’s dusty, neglected grave. Plot twist: Cemetery staff confirm Han Jun never filed to move her ashes—contradicting his claim about returning to China for this purpose. Suspicion level: 1000%.

Cliffhanger Crumbs

  • Han Jun’s Lies: Why’s he really going to the Americas? And why track Jin Chun?
  • Xiangqin’s Agenda: Is she a harmless weirdo or connected to Han Jun’s schemes?
  • Xu’s Countermove: Can he stop Han Jun from leaving the country in three days?

This episode serves up equal parts paranoia and dark humor, with Jin Chun’s "adulting fails" reminding us that even genius forensic experts can’t escape landlord drama. Stay tuned for next week’s chaos—because if there’s one rule in Unnatural Fire, it’s that no one has healthy coping mechanisms.
