Yes it is, they bought the copyright. A remake doesnt mean it has to be 100% the same

Yes it is

For those asking why this drama is 40 eps, that’s the formula for most C-dramas that are meant for TV release, usually around 30-40 eps because it’s for the ratings. But the drama able to air on TV or ended up just webcast is another story because the competition for a slot on TV is kinda fierce there.

Yes the chemistry is great, it’s just the fl & ml doesnt have many scenes together yet! but their interactions is always natural

There’s nothing wrong with Hu Yitian’s acting skills he’s good with his eyes & microexpressions, and that’s just how most ML in romance drama are designed stiff & cold at first but will eventually have more expressions later when the story develop more, some of you prolly just dont like him to be objective enough. His dialogues are instead being praised by the cnetz because it’s clear with no accent and has ups and down, simply just go to weibo and see if you can read Chinese, their only complaint is the makeup and hairdo that sometimes are not good.

Looking forward to Hu Yitian! dont worry about his acting skills he already has a breakthrough in “My Roommate is a Detective” and gained recognitions for it. You only need to watch more of his works to know his improvements, don’t be prejudiced.

They can invite whoever they want to play the role. You don’t make the rules

The drama is good, well written story and good casting! just it won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, all depends on personal preferences.

Agatha Christie’s Poirot novel

Because it’s not really the season 2 of MRIAD, it’s another detective story with the same double male leads, the story will be adapted from a world class IP ‘Poirot’ by Agatha Christie
