I haven't seen that drama. Do the leads travel between two time slips?
i haven’t seen it yet either but this drama has a completely different concept from 1983. the female lead can travel through time while a song plays on a cassette tape, it’s sci-fi.
"I don't think there are actually two timelines. One possibility for her not being able to find her parents when she returned to her hometown of Yuezhou in 1983 is that her parents hadn't started working there yet. Since she wasn't even born then, it's normal for her parents not to be there. When she started finding her memories of the past blurring in 1990, it's because her original self was already three years old, starting to remember things and forming new memories. Therefore, she began experiencing blurring of her old memories. Forgetting where she and her parents went on a trip is because her current self hadn't yet gone on a trip with her parents. Forgetting her income from her first job is because Chen Xiliang was altered. In other words, what she did in Xia Xiaolan's body in 1983 could affect her original self.
Now that Zhou Cheng has bought the alarm clock, it means her parents won't be able to buy it, and her original self won't be able to travel back to 1983. This is why Xia Xiaolan's memories are starting to fade. If this is the setup, it could potentially cause the current Xia Xiaolan to disappear.
The drama series mentions the price right at the beginning, so I think her price is whether she chooses to go back or stay. The price of staying is that she will lose all her memories and completely forget her former self.
Another option is to go back to the future, in which case all memories of 1983 would be erased, meaning she would have to give up everything she did in 1983 and return to the way things were before.
If this is the setup, I'm really curious how the screenwriter will make it a happy ending."
i'm wondering how they'll pull this off if ever. i didn't even pay particular attention to xiaolan's dialogue at the beginning and it might be a hint all along?🍿 or maybe it's not really this complicated 🤣
another wild theory from drama fans: could the plot of "1983" be similar to "Meet You Again"? In "Meet You Again", the trigger for time travel is a cassette tape, whereas in "1983", it's an alarm clock.
it’s getting unpredictable but I trust them when they say it has a happy ending 🍿
Please don't fight in the comments below about the producers being bankrupt or not. We have nothing to do with…
just came back here after seeing a video of zhou ye confirming she used her own voice in the drama. kinda surprised to see such a fuss lol from what I know, the producers are pretty mysterious. they always keep things under wraps and don’t reveal much until right before their dramas airs. it's the same case here.
"Some people feel that everything after Xia Xiaolan's time-travel doesn't hold up to scrutiny, saying she took the top spot in the college entrance exam and indirectly affected Shi Kai's destiny. Let's first look at this yellowed diary—it clearly records Xia Xiaolan's life trajectory in her previous life:
- 2010: Graduated from university, started her first job at Luna, and received her first salary. - 2016: Became the top salesperson at a foreign trade company. - 2018: Joined Alloy Investment. - 2022: Promoted to team leader.
From a workplace newbie to a top salesperson, then to an investment role and a management position, she didn't suddenly become strong after being reborn. She had already been climbing the step-by-step in her previous life, honing her professional skills, planning abilities, and resilience against setbacks.
Then, in this life, from the winter of 1983 to the summer of 1984, while preparing for the college entrance exam, she remembered the math problems from her past life and thought she had a "golden finger." During this time, Liu Fen grew rapidly, and her clothing business flourished.
Being reborn only gave her a chance in a different era. This "golden finger" wasn't that powerful: she even constantly feared that the more she gained, the more she would lose. In every choice, she tried her best to benefit both herself and others, and the foreshadowing in the show is all resolved.
As for the choices made across time and space, these are two different timelines to begin with. Wanting to go back and make herself and the people around her live a little better is only natural.
Even today, her marketing ideas, spirit of mutual aid, and the courage to think and act boldly would allow her to make a name for herself in any era. Xia Xiaolan's confidence has always been built on her own hard work, step by step."
it seems like the later episodes are going to be intense. the screenwriter wrote the lyrics for one of the OSTs…
zhou cheng is the faceless boy and later the man from xiaolan’s memories. xiaolan was originally from 1983 but she time-traveled to the modern timeline. she then returned to 1983 but she no longer remembers zhou cheng.
Does someone know, if these songs are new or adapted from that time period?
they added a few new songs but most of it is cantopop and mandopop classics inside the drama. like during the asian games part, the bgm switches to “Asian Wind" which was said to be super popular as a promo song at the time.

xiaolan traveled back to the modern timeline and everyone in the 80s forgot about her. but zhou cheng, guided by the alarm clock, found his way back to her. then the two of them time-traveled back again together.
it seems like the later episodes are going to be intense. the screenwriter wrote the lyrics for one of the OSTs…
xiaolan must have told zhou cheng that she had time traveled. at first, zhou cheng was shocked but he gradually came to accept it because he loved xiaolan dearly and cherished the person right in front of him.
it seems like the later episodes are going to be intense. the screenwriter wrote the lyrics for one of the OSTs (As Long As I See You) and fans have come up with various theories based on it like...
that’s not always the case, there are plenty of chinese dramas and movies with time travel elements. the ones…
from the start, i've assumed there’s a high chance they’ll use parallel timeline logic (sci-fi) which is generally allowed. i’m familiar with reset and countdown to say i love you. afaik, go princess go and oh my emperor didn’t end up being just dreams. these are all after '11 when regulations became stricter. after all, there’s a difference between a complete ban and mere restrictions.
