I honestly think you misunderstood my comment. I was saying this was bland in comparison to what they were upgrading it from. Circle of Love is another mini drama so in that aspect you being shocked by this show is proving my point. This is an "upgraded" micro-drama plot, like the ones you see that are ~2 minutes long per episode and are shot vertical. So yes, when I say that this is "bland" in comparison to some of the ones of those I've seen, yes 😅. I literally could have written much of this plot as a synopsis without having watched it just from guessing and doing a "this will happen" or "this will happen" game.

Since no one else answered this I'll answer it if you still want the answers (or at least an interpretation of them)

1. Sure why not both but because "China"... "officially" it didn't happen and is a coma dream - the fact that the coma portion is essentially accounted for inside her time limit of going back to the past? "Officially" doesn't matter 🤣

2. Depends on which version YOU want to see.... do you want everything to have ACTUALLY have happened? Then it did and they were real.

3. Ending scene was just a "fun" scene added in to further distance the show and "PROVE" that this did not "actually" happen in real life.... don't try to die and accidentally go into a coma trying to go into the past - its all fake and just a show

OMG you're right! I was watching that earlier and was hearing her shrieking something and was like "I KNOW I'm watching or JUST watched something with this chick" 😅🤣

🤣 I refuse to pay the extra for that extra episode but I tell you I have NEVER been so close to shelling it out as I was watching 25 and 26 today 😅🤣 I swear I barely BREATHED

Okay so people have started complaining "seen one Republican drama you've seen them all" .... THIS was the equivalent for anyone who has watched the toxic micro dramas. They took the bingo sheet... copied it down and then toned everything down for it to be semi-acceptable but still semi-blood boiling for new to genre mini watchers. I was literally laughing at how generic and bland it was.

🤣 I just finished this myself. Been watching other stuff so binged the last 6 eps at once. Let me tell you, you watched this show cursing at it, I watched thus laughing my A** off because it was BY THE NUMBERS it was so predictable 🤣 - Like I couldn't get mad because every time there was a "twist" I was like "and here comes..." 🤣

🤣 I watched this a WHILE ago but saw someone comment about how fluffy and funny the show was and came back and saw it being listed as a comedy and a fluffy healing drama.... I honestly think you're right in your assessment. And this is coming from someone who DID love this show and rated it a 9/10. Because I remember the show BECAUSE I remember it being an angsty melodrama with the slowest burn of slow burn romance 😅 Because she woke up one day thinking she's still in her teens. That's a LOT of baggage to unpack.

So yes, definitely like your comment for showing a bit of "truth" about the show 👍

I haven't watched more than through ep 4 but in that episode he's pretty heart breaking with his acting and his tears don't look fake. 1st 3 episodes though... I would agree with the wooden and semi expressionless assessment.

👍Interesting - Haven't watched much from him so hadn't heard of this issue before, I'll know now though if I delve into his early backlog

Are you mistaking him for Allen Ren? I haven't seen him in a lot but he's done kiss scenes

I'll freely admit I was on the fence about this one in 1st 3 episodes but then I'm watching ep 4 and... 🤯

These episodes have ML basically handing FL off to 2ML and telling him all her favorite things and giving him his blessing to be with her. He REALLY believes that she is in love with 2ML and since there are multiple factors stopping HIM from being with her in the future (don't want to spoil those storylines) he doesn't see any hope of being with her.

Meanwhile SHE doesn't know who she loves, she just knows that he is her family (literally lumping him in with the painted maids in this dialog) and doesn't want him to leave her when she finds out he's preparing to go somewhere.

Since you're not watching right now I'll spoilers a little (especially since watched 21/22 now) to give an idea why I think that

🤣 This one is definitely not a plot watch - it's a YZX watch 💯 - It should be illegal for a man to cry and look that 🔥🔥🔥🙈

🤣 Cho Na already responded with the "official" synopsis but to answer your question... Based on the first 12 episodes, YES, it is very much the same old recycled story. The differences they've added to this one (and the fact it was only 1/2 the plot so "maybe" they'll throw in a unique twist) are the only reason I wrote 3/10 for plot 😅

I know you're probably looking for a straight yes or no answer 😅 but this show is definitely a matter of taste, it's not going to appeal to every one, especially with the fact it was shelved for a while and uses "older" cgi etc. I will say the trailers do a a pretty good job capturing the different tones of the show though without being misleading so I'd suggest checking them out to see if you like the look/tone.

😅 First 12 episodes watched
Plot: 3/10 "maybe"
Spiciness: +/- 8/10
YZX: 10/10 🔥🔥🔥

Also on Iqiyi - Limerence on there, called Love Trap on here - Already on ep 7 and 🔥🔥🔥🔥

👍 Youre fast! - Was planning on watching 2 eps tonight to take me to ep 4 but saw YZX new show ALSO dropped today so switching over to that one.

Do they? I've only seen a couple episodes so far but I thought the credits looked like they were "generic" character portraits for once and was actually excited that they had done an opening showing the characters and NOT spoiling the story 🤣
