Yeah, there were some teaser clips of her being hit by a car too and TQ running around trying to find her but only he was able to sense her while no one else did.

Yes! That is a possibility. I am just wondering who is playing as QST in that moment (because it seems like SCC was next to the ambulance). But the SCC we see might not even be the real SCC anymore. And whether that grandma we saw later on is related to QST. This drama is something else LOL.

But that ambulance would have to be fake if we are going by that theory because the hospital would have figured out QST wasn't sick, so I am wondering how they did pull this off.

Yes lol, it is not really about the drama itself but about the actor/actress themselves. TJC's "rivals" don't want him to blow up more and LLD's peers don't really want her to rise (I am talking about the teams behind these actors/actresses because the competition is legit fierce there). It is just part of the C-industry. TJC has been labeled for a while in not being able to lead a hetero romance drama due to his height and "not having chemistry with actresses" but this drama is showing that he /does/ which would open up a lot more career routes for him. LLD on the other hand has an incoming historical romance drama that has the potential to do better (due to it being historical + revenge story which is an attractive genre) so they won't want her to get any more attention at the moment as that can translate interest into her next released drama.

The easiest way to "ruin" a drama is to get the fans of the leads to fight each other as that ruin the viewing experience for non-fans. It doesn't really matter the quality of the drama, if it is bad, it makes it even easier but even if it is good, their main goal is to try to encourage the fans to fight because that takes away from the actual drama itself and the whole thing becomes oh, they are fighting over billing, they are fighting over who has more screentime, etc. It turns people off from tuning in to the drama and the actors/actresses are seen as having batsh*t fanbases.

Aw, fans on XHS are so cute. They are making posts telling people to not fall for any negative comments about the current preview situation as it seems like water armys have descended especially on Douyin to try to get the fans to fight each other over the characters. 😂

No, they are saying that it is actually QST but I am not too sure either because the pictures were really blurry. The OP thought it was TQ but the other comments were saying it was QST instead. I would need to check more posts for more accurate information.

Lmao absolutely no idea. People have so many theories but no one can even begin to guess what is happening.

There is some spoiler pictures floating around of QST (but who is it actually??) getting lifted onto the ambulance.

I am CRYING because what is this drama 😂😂😂 Spoiler below kind of?

Yup, I think the best thing we can do as fans/viewers is actually view the drama as it is and evaluate it with all the information we are given. This is one of the few dramas that give us so many different POVs for a reason, we are meant to know, understand, and empathize with both.

Aw, thank you!

Yup, I think this is a great drama in the sense that people can't just go and blame the FL 100% when the ML is hurt. It is very easy to just fault a FL when the ML suffers because scriptwriters fall into that pithole of making the ML suffers by having the FL do "terrible" things or saying harsh things or not understanding when the ML is actually protecting the FL. But this drama did a good job in shaping SCC as a character individually and making their conflicts hard to just blame the FL. Even if people are fighting about this, I see at least on the C-side that /most/ people are more rational about this since we get all POVs. People have also fallen for these characters too much to drag them fully LOL.

I don't think anyone would blame SCC outright if they were watching this drama without bias. Standing from her POV, there really is no reason for her to reveal her secret to TQ. They aren't anything at this point nor is there any "purpose" to revealing this to him. If they were to develop an actual romantic relationship then yes, she should tell him but SCC at this time doesn't even want to have that type of relationship with him. She was fine with just maintaining as boss/employee at this point. Also from her POV, she won't understand /why/ TQ is trying to "figure" her out and trying to analyze these transformations. For all she knows right now, TQ fell for SM and FJ who were unrelated to each other. She also didn't know she was the only color in TQ's life. TQ is persistent about this right now because he is trying to figure out why his color visions disappeared but also because he is seeing the familiarity between all these people. He is a scientist down to his bone. At multiple points in this story, they could have nothing to do with each other anymore. BUT, fate and their personalities are not letting it happen.

From TQ's POV, of course it hurts for someone he loved to keep on going away. But so far, all these loves he had have been one-sided. It is just a lot more tragic because one "died" and the other one "disappeared". But both didn't accept his confessions then nor truly developed feelings for him (SCC/FJ was definitely touched but her feelings at that time was shut off already). If he was a typical man, he would have moved on since he didn't know these women for more than a month. But TQ just happened to be a really sincere man who really loves hard. TQ is so persistent with figuring this out because perhaps deep down, his heart is already telling him hey, the one you loved has always been just one person and she is "here".

From what I have seen on multiple charts, it is actually doing % wise around the same as TBT (they are like always up/down against each other). Tencent limited the spread of this drama by not giving copyrights for edits on sites like Bilibili so it really limited the spread of this drama. A lot of people are also checking in XHS for Filter clips but not tuning in to the drama just yet because they are waiting for the transformations to be exposed first before checking in. I have also seen clips of ppl watching it on bootlegged sites there. Of these 3 dramas, Filter honestly has the best review reception in terms of its content and message. But people do agree that the popularity right now is not matching up with the quality so fans are definitely doing their best to push it out of the fan circle. It will just depend on luck at this point and whether the plot in the latter half can generate more drama, discussion, and interest. The ship also needs to officially start sailing for more people to tune in for the romance.

As we are suffering from the pending angst of the previews, let me just say that moment when SCC labeled all the colors for the outfits and you can see TQ being visibly moved by it was really sweet. 🥹 Not them dropping these sweet crumbs when they got that big filter problem hanging over their heads that still needs to be resolved first.

Yeah, there are a lot of theories right now that TQ is the one influencing the bracelet unknowingly. It will be interesting to see where the scriptwriter takes this.

Yeah, I read some post about her role having a speaking credit. Definitely more scenes to come.

If this theory is true, I wonder when he finally falls for SCC as herself, if his love for her was so deep that it ended up causing the bracelet to upgrade once again and caused her to become invisible without a choice.

LMAO, there is this theory that the bracelet upgrades every time TQ falls for SCC or that his love gets deeper. 💀 Meaning his love ended up upgrading/updating the bracelet with more and more abilities.

Yes, the character chart for QST was that he "hated him" (that beef on the tennis court). He is clocking that something is wrong at this point already so it is not as likely that he is falling love like he did with SM/FJ or has the prolonged time to do so when he is also interacting with SCC as herself and noticing her good qualities at this point.

Perhaps! I am sure that old woman will come back later and more explanation will be given. 👀
