I'm probably overthinking this, but is this a reflection of the stress we have in our current world? ie people are at their stress limits so they're avoiding anything that might potentially add to their overall distress?

I know it's only a tv drama ... but it all adds up.

eh, whatever. I'm just gonna blame 'Rise of the Phoenixes'. That one left scars ;p

Can anyone tell me which player, app, or site (whatever) they're watching this through?

I've been using viki up til now, but it isn't showing today's releases.

Really stupid scene setup, but totally worth it for the aaaaaaabs!

Setups for Stupid Scenarios 101 : Class 1 - Writing dialogue for c-dramas

Example A

"It's late and we're here at the male peer lodgings. Is this okay?"
"We already came. What is there to be scared of?"
...
"these two rooms look the same. Do you know which belongs to Hang Ruxue?"
{shakes head}
...
"What about this? You go to that room and I'll go to that room."

End example A.

I hereby do solemnly swear to binge watch the panties off this beauty of a series the very minute this weeks episodes are released and provide an ep by ep spoiler commentary as I go along.

My Patreon is.... ;p

I'm having a good ole chuckle at all the 'it's gonna be a bad ending' comments based on the trailers.

As if trailers have never been edited to portray a different story, they are *always* 100% accurate portrayal of events. lol.

Ok all you tender hearted nervous nellies, you can turn your eyes away from your screens this week. I'll binge watch all the final episodes for you and come back here with spoilers for you all.

; )

Have no understanding of Chinese, but they still look interesting :D

While a happy ending is always preferred...
...I don't mind a cliff hanger if we are going to get a second season, and
...I don't mind a tragic ending if it fits the narrative well.

Just not too many tragic endings series in the one year if at all possible. We have enough trauma in our daily lives, dramas are suppose to help us escape away from all that. : )

In regards to this series ... I'm enjoying it so much that I'm going to see it through to the end. I don't care if the trailers imply there might be a bad ending. This series so far has been so entertaining I want to see it through to the end!

episode 6, so at the quarter mark of the series length

Cat - thank you for the tip on 'Su Yu'. A very fun watch.

Loved the reactions of the other prisoners. In the first cell when FL jumped on ML because of the mouse scare when the camera goes into a wide shot they're all 'wtf is with this dude?' faces. Then in the second cell with the doctor they're all joining in on the pee offer and laughing along. And in a way that is casually acted, not forced. I get the feeling this must've been a fun shoot for everyone.

He relaxes the cross-eyed blank stare after the first few episodes and also gets a more suave hair do, so if you can hang on past the initial episodes it will get better. Just IMHO.

Damn that trailer looks good, and that's with half of the scenes seen in the series already. Can't wait for the rest of it.

I know others have mentioned on this discussion board things that are supposdly going to happen in future episodes because of trailers, but I haven't seen any other trailers than this one, so I'm still 100% on board this ship. :D

Just finished this week's episode releases. So good. Got ants under my skin thinking of having to wait another week for the next episodes. Hopefully I'll get to finish watching the whole series then, so I'm hanging on tight, and have got cream for the ant itch. ;P

Only on the 2nd ep, but getting the feeling the strange friend is the one who didn't have superpowers :D

ikr. I've watched them 3 or 4 times over already. I was a bit wary at the start since it seemed the ML was some sort of crossed eyed bland and uninteresting character, but they've all grown on me. Am excited to see how it continues, can't wait for tonights eps.

The script is top notch too. Instead of the blatant scene set up of FL getting comfy by taking off her clothes to sleep (and thereby being at risk of being discovered) she chides herself and keeps them on. When asked by the ML in ep10 about what she'd do if she was a lady again, whether her previous engagement would still exist, she knocks the thought of being known as a lady again down immediately. A common sense scripted character ... who woulda thunk it. Such a breath of fresh air after having recently struggled through watching 'legend of jinyan'.

There's good humorous moments scattered throughout too.

And I'm seriously thinking of starting a partition to get that little tyke who is beside the dr in the jail in ep10 some sort of 'up & coming star' award. He's too cute for words. In fact a number of what are seemingly one-off side characters - like that dr and the kid - are so enjoyable I'm hoping to see them again.

High hopes for this series so far. Strongly hope this momentum continues.

I think that little kid in the cell with the dr in episode 10 is just the cutest little one ever! With that much cuteness in the series, it's guaranteed to be a winner.

In a baaaaaad way, or in a goooooood way?

Thanks : )

What I want to know is, if there is 24 episodes, how are they going to finish airing it next week?

The 'report' option exists for a reason : )
