“Imperfect Victim,” a new mainland Chinese drama series that focuses on workplace sexual harassment and leads to a rape trial.

Zhou (“Cloud Atlas” , “The Silent War” , “Painted Skin”) plays a lawyer who steps in to represent the character played by Lin (“The Mermaid”), who alleges assault by her boss at work. He is portrayed by TV veteran Liu Yijun (“Nirvana in Fire” , “The Pretender”). The case becomes complicated and Zhou’s character is forced to question her own ethics.

The show is highly topical, given the slowly building #MeToo movement in China. This is being fuelled by numerous instances of sexual discrimination, sexual assault and outright violence towards women, many instances of which have gone viral on Chinese social media before being deleted by censors.

该剧由一起第三方匿名报警的案件展开，讲述了律师林阚接受嫌疑人成功委托，凭借出色的职业素养和前置调查，推翻受害人赵寻的刑事指控，但法律事实与个人情感立场产生的冲突令林阚面临前所未有的职业伦理挑战的故事。
