i do kinda love that while she went fire and brimstone on everyone else who ever wronged her husband, she ended up befriending the woman who was paid to seduce him and he subsequently had an affair with. women supporting women <3 #JackWatches #HalfTruth

screenshot of cao xiwen as meng shengnan in half truth. she is carefully placing a bin bag in the fridge. it contains the severed head of her husband.

tfw your husband gets murdered so instead of reporting it to the police you dismember him in your bathtub and keep his head in your fridge so you can later frame every single person who ever bullied him while he was alive #JackWatches #HalfTruth

screenshot of cao xiwen as meng shengnan in half truth. She is in a dark room watching a wedding video of herself and her husband li junsong (ji chen). the subtitle reads "I will make everyone who hurt you"

screenshot of cao xiwen as meng shengnan in half truth. She is in a dark room and there is a reclection in the window of her watching a wedding video of herself and her husband li junsong (ji chen). the subtitle reads "will be punished."

I'M OBSESSED WITH HER, GOD THIS SHOW IS INSANE #JackWatches #HalfTruth

screenshot of ji chen as li junsong in half truth. he is laying on the floor, covered in blood, smiling and reaching towards his wife kneeling next to him

if i had a nickel every time a ji chen character died smiling in the arms of the person they loved 🙃 #JackWatches #HalfTruth

OKAY SO PENULTIMATE EPISODE AND IF I'VE PUT THINGS TOGETHER CORRECTLY THIS SHOW IS INSANE #JackWatches #HalfTruth

screenshot of ji chen as li junsong in half truth. he is crying heavily.

screenshot of ji chen as li junsong in half truth. he is wide eyed and there are tears running down his face

roll up roll up get your sopping wet crying breakdown ji chen, i know that's what anyone actually following this thread is looking for #JackWatches #HalfTruth

screenshot of cao xiwen as meng shengnan in half truth. she is burning paper in a bowl on her kitchen floor in front of a photograph of her husband, sending him off to the afterlife

so on the one hand this is making me emotional, but on the other it's kind of extremely funny her sending him off like "i know what you're like, if you get bullied in the afterlife just run away, i'll deal with it when i get there" sdfghjyhkjl #JackWatches #HalfTruth

Oh boy, this guy has been through so fucking much, and then he gets BURIED IN CONCRETE #JackWatches #HalfTruth

Ah fuck, like I don't care about police dude but I'm so stressed about his daughter 😭 #JackWatches #HalfTruth

Screenshot of ji chen as li junsong in half truth. He looks scared and is being scruffed by the neck and not fighting back

This man is made of wet flannel, and I'm only half joking when I say I think everything would have ended up mostly fine for him if literally anyone had suggested he go to therapy at any point in his life #JackWatches #HalfTruth

Every single flashback is either
1. li junsong gets bullied
2. li junsong makes a poor decision
3. something terrible happens to li junsong
Or 4. li junsong is bullied into a poor decision under threat of something terrible happening (and then it happens anyway)
#JackWatches #HalfTruth

Screenshot of ji chen as li junsong in half truth. He looks mildly horrified and the subtitle reads "This is murder."

Things continue to go poorly for li junsong #JackWatches #HalfTruth

li junsong you have done so much medical malpractice <3 #JackWatches #HalfTruth

screenshot of ji chen as li junsong in half truth. he is wearing a lab coat adn glasses and looks lightly concerned with very wide eyes

screenshot of ji chen as li junsong in half truth. he is wearing a lab coat adn glasses and it smiling lightly while looking down

and if i space out thinking about ben in a detective l modern au instead of the horrors fo this show every time i see ji chen in a lab coat what of it #JackWatches #HalfTruth

every new episode solves 1 mystery and creates 2 more. Ji chen's character is such a fucked up little guy and as it stands i have absolutely no idea if that's (affectionate) or (derogatory) #JackWatches #HalfTruth

rest in pieces gu xiang, you absolutely deserved it #JackWatches #HalfTruth

well ji chen's severed head in a bag somewhat confirms it sdfghjk #JackWatches #HalfTruth

screenshot of ji chen as li junsong in the truth is half white. he has a fringe and is wearing large square frame glasses, a scruffy shirt and denim jacket.

heavy cw for cat death, skip episode 3, 11mins to 14 mins exactly, very much wish i had not watched that 👍
#JackWatches #HalfTruth

screenshot of ji chen as li junsong in half truth. he is sopping wet and crawling fully clothed out of a muddy river

soggy #JackWatches #HalfTruth

Whatever happens with this show, so far it's very compelling #JackWatches #HalfTruth

I mean tbh i'm assuming it's a fake out and he's gonna be the villain, but if not then at the very least he was filming for a while so if he is dead there should be plenty of flashbacks #JackWatches #HalfTruth

step 1: watch a show entirely for ji chen
step 2: non-zero chance he was dismembered in the opening scene
#JackWatches #HalfTruth

gonna be liveblogging half truth / 真相半白 as per usual i'll be tagging #JackWatches and #HalfTruth so you can mute my nonsense - if you've watched it or read the novel please no spoilers!!

Lesson #2 and the confirmation hearings are a "WOW" moment.

Lesson from Art of War “All warfare is based on deception.”

Disinformation campaigns are a modern battlefield. Dictators use lies and half-truths to control narratives and confuse enemies.
