On the surface, people want to know why SCC just can't say the identities have left the country? That there's…
Exactly, it is:
1) For the plot 2) SCC + her gang didn't think TQ was /that/ serious about these filters (because seriously, it wasn't even a month) 3) She got it with FJ but she didn't think he did care about QST because there weren't romantic feelings involved + at that point, she was being chased so relentlessly that in her POV, k*lling him off would be the easiest way but TQ is TQ, it is shown that even death won't stop him. 4) Non-deaths disappearance won't stop TQ, TQ is shown to be so persistent and will use all his resources to track down someone like how he did with QST with the cops, his lab examination, his own buddies in the scientific field, etc.
I love all the science talks in Filter and how this drama made the serious conversations so effortlessly entertaining…
Yup, just so many easter eggs. I remember someone catching how there was a sign pointing at GY in an earlier episode where he was drunk and the sign said, "Will be lucky!" There are just many things to notice in every scene.
1) I would agree that SCC had made a huge impression on Tang Qi as an adolescent that he carried with him to the…
People on C-side mentions that TQ has two sides to him. In front of the filters, the filters are almost put on a pedestal, so he is more on the "weaker" side where he is like a puppy doing the chasing and is willing to accept anything (and SCC is also bolder as the filters which made her the "stronger" one during those times). In front of SCC, he already let out his other side which is "stronger" mentally as he is her boss and has complicated history with her (so was cold to her and is shown to be able to make snide comments) + SCC as SCC then doesn't have much of an upper hand as she is his employee.
When TQ and SCC finally came together, both of those sides mixed together for her, so he has this mature vibe but also really sweet with her. People enjoy shipping them there because they can be BG (boyxgirl) but also GB (girlxboy) and the person who has the "upper hand" can change depending on the situation.
Agreed!!! Another user mentioned colors being important in this drama before, but I didn't think there was a scientific layer to it too which of course it does, everything in this drama can be explained by science LOL.
Same, I m also rewatching n I find that he was always attracted to her but is also prejudiced Abt her so he doesn't…
Yup! It wasn't at the level of love, but it was interest/curiosity at least but he had filters on about her (and even thought she had a weak body from being "sick"/off from work all the time) which prevented him from seeing her as just /her/.
apologies for my profanity but holy shit this is literally GENIUS how did they even think of that 😭
Right?? It makes so much sense and really added another layer to the decisions they made with this drama. This drama is so suited for people who enjoy analyzing and fine combing all the details.

Xiao Qing is the white snake's best friend who protected the white snake and was super upset at Xu Xian (ML) since he fell for a trap from a monk that put the white snake in harm's way. The monk later came back and imprisoned the white snake which angered Xiao Qing and she vowed to get revenge on the monk.
Yes! People are saying it is also like people in general admiring what they don't have. TQ is smart but not physically strong so he would be attracted to those who are physically stronger. He also seems like he likes to be "dominated" in the sense that he almost seems to enjoy SCC making him drink that coffee/drink while his hands couldn't move, etc.
WOW, another detail about TQ's tetrachromacy mentioned by Director Chen Yue Jin in his video interview: http://xhslink.com/a/dJ95ywTqTTS7
The typical 3 color cones humans have let us to see red, blue, and green.
It is why SM = red (she dresses mostly in red along with her red lipstick), FJ = blue (she dresses mostly in blue and the string that tangled with TQ was also blue), and QST = green (his tennis outfit). The colors are also associated with the feelings he had for these filters. SM is "hot red" as he was really stubborn like that of a first love while QST is "green" like the color of jealousy/envy.
With tetrachromacy, the 4th color cone is the most sensitive to orange. The "cheng" in SCC's name = orange. TQ's tetrachromacy essentially allowed him to bypass all the "typical 3 colors" and /see/ SCC.
Some more interesting analysis as people are rewatching the drama on C-side, they are saying TQ actually had an interest (or at least noticed) in SCC from the very beginning, but his prejudice got in the way (and it didn't become romantic until later).
1) TQ even remembering SCC when they were just school mates; him labeling her as this "prominent figure" and "sports star" when everyone else at the reunion just remembered her as QSL's sister. On one hand, it is because he thought she bullied him, but on the other hand, it is because she just left that strong of an impression on him that he remembered her even 10+ years later.
2) GY's whole speech about pheromones during the work dinner and TQ's thing is how his senses all recognized SCC as "the one" before his brain did. And TQ unintentionally glancing over at SCC after he mentioned that he wants a love like his parents (only love one person his whole life).
3) The theme of "pride and prejudice" (literally the OST title too) aka TQ being like Mr. Darcy who was interested but continued to deny himself about Elizabeth.
4) TQ dreaming of SCC as Xiao Qing (the green snake) because why is she even in his dream about SM.
5) Him constantly noticing her at work from not being there to hiding around (even though in the beginning he was making snide comments).
6) When TQ said he "absolutely won't like that type" in the earlier episode (SCC in that red dress), the Chinese dialogue is actually “绝不可能是喜欢的样子”. That sentence is missing "I". TQ omitted his own pronoun in it, and he didn't even realize that he never said, "/I/ don't like her type".
7) TQ in general seems attracted to someone physically strong (SM saving a kid, FJ beating up the ex, even the alpaca kicking him, etc.) but because he thought SCC was bullying him back during their school days, it didn't end up romantic during their school days.
Edit to add in something else people noticed too:
8) Back during their school days, when TQ first saw SCC during the dance event (her in that fluorescent dress), the camera showed him smiling faintly at first but as she got closer aka the fluorescent got more obvious, that's when he puked (since he was sensitive to it) + when SCC came at first to give him the walnuts, he didn't leave right away, it was when she crushed it that he ran away thinking she was telling him to go away.
Thank you! Definitely interesting. I didn't pick up on the short drama connection ... but the episodes definitely…
Yup! This drama is definitely unconventional, and the truth is that it is /hard/ for some people to see beyond the surface especially when with idol romance type dramas, you don't want to think too much but this drama makes you think for sure.
I like how he mentioned SM seemed not like SCC at times because SCC was doing things she usually won't do since she knows she has SM's beauty to cover it up. It makes sense why people felt of all the transformations; the first one was the one that didn't seem completely like SCC.

-Is the ML really a jerk?
-Why does ML like all the transformations but not the FL?
-Why does FL make her transformations *?
I will say it is still nice to see people asking questions haha it means they are curious enough to want an answer and continue watching the drama.
