Spoiler Alert
Episode 10 of Such a Good Love hits like a slow-burning heartbreak that finally explodes—quietly, painfully, and with just a hint of bitter humor.
Let’s start with Tong Leyi, who continues to be the queen of righteousness. She exposes the creepy guy at work and shuts down the company’s weak attempt at a hush-hush settlement. Instead of staying silent, she walks away and terminates her contract. Total mic drop.
Flashback to winter 2009: a new intern named Jieyu joins the company. Dai Daji—dedicated, hopeful, and a little too trusting—takes Jieyu under her wing, even worrying about when the girl might make it full-time. But plot twist: Jieyu has already been promoted that morning. Apparently, it helps when your family holds high positions at the station. Daji, who has no connections, is crushed. Her dream just got shut down before it even had a chance.
Meanwhile, on the Beijing subway, Zhou Shui runs into Hunxiang, a familiar face from his hometown. He confronts her about money she owes him. Hunxiang is clearly broke and struggling but hands him a business card—some guy named Mr. Geng. If Zhou Shui can get the money back from him, it’s all his. Hunxiang’s got nothing left to give.
It’s clear that something happened between Zhou Shui and Dai Daji on that night. Neither of them talk about it, but the silence is loud. They avoid the topic like it’s radioactive, but it’s wedged between them like a splinter they can’t pull out. No one asks questions, but everyone’s hurting.
Things hit a breaking point for Daji. Fed up with the politics and injustice at work, she quits. And then the final punch: she sees her old colleague Xiaolong—now a full-blown celebrity. The contrast is cruel.
Daji and Zhou Shui’s relationship is unraveling. She says it outright—“We’re both unemployed. Are we really going to keep dragging this out?” She’s done. She packs her bags and decides to leave Beijing. And Zhou Shui. Maybe it’s not as hard as she thought.
Elsewhere, Gangling has quietly saved up money and offers to pay Shen Jingshu’s tuition so she doesn’t have to keep working odd jobs. She refuses. Later, while working a sketchy gig as a fake bride, Jingshu is harassed by an old man. Gangling shows up just in time to rescue her.
Back to Daji and Zhou Shui—there’s one last dinner in Sanlitun. She invites him, and he knows exactly what it means: she’s going to end things. Desperate to stop her, Zhou Shui decides to recover the 20,000 yuan he’s owed. But when he confronts Mr. Geng, things go sideways. Zhou Shui ends up getting beaten up and leaves empty-handed.
Still, he shows up at dinner—bruised, a little broken, but there. He orders two bottles of water and a slice of cake. Then, with a plastic ring and no fanfare, he proposes. It’s messy, it’s awkward, and it’s undeniably real. But it’s also too late.
Daji finally says what’s been eating at her: Zhou Shui thought she slept with her senior, Yiming, that night. She didn’t. But the real betrayal? Every time she needed Zhou Shui, he wasn’t there.
Zhou Shui stays kneeling, pathetically digging change out of his pocket to pay the bill. Daji covers the rest and walks away. No answers, no closure.
This is the final video. Tong Leyi and Su Zihao finish watching it all. Did Dai Daji and Zhou Shui actually break up? The show doesn’t say. But it feels like the end.
Oh—and just when Daji is about to drown her sorrows in a bottle of Erguotou? The police call. Zhou Shui’s been detained for assault.
That’s Such a Good Love, folks. Episode 10 doesn’t pull punches—it just lets them land slowly, one disappointment at a time.
