Yea, can already tell how rushed it will be with how Episode 39 ended. They are probably only going to address the water contamination arc. It’s madness. And C-dramas’ individual episodes are only 35-40 mins, not even an hour……. =.=

Ah…… right. Lol. My bad. Got it, thanks! I somehow thought he wanted to say that Porsche looks like himself or his brother.

The ending is going to be super rushed again…….. why do so many C-dramas have this issue…. 😔

But then there was an insinuation that Porsche is his son…… coz there was that flashback when Korn first saw his surveillance footage he made a statement…. “He looks like……” and then the sentence was incomplete….

Ah… ok. So part of it was left open… thanks for summarising it.

Are they insinuating that Khun Korn is Porsche’s father? Like I’m confused with that whole bit with his mother….. his mother died at the end in the novel… so basically Khun Korn did kill Porsche’s father? Or at the very least there is an insinuation that Porsche could be Kinn’s cousin…. I’m so confused….. they didn’t quite close that part properly…

Can someone please explain the ending to me….. I still don’t completely understand it even after reading the novel……….

The whole water contamination arc reminds me of the Erin Brockovich figure + movie…

This sub-plot might actually also be depicting a real-life case that happened in 2015 although this also happens in other countries like US unlike the Gaokao/identity theft incident..

Am impressed in the sense that C-dramas have finally caught up in reflecting actual issues in the society and they managed to cast famous/popular artistes…. Usually these kinda dramas often go unnoticed likely because the cast is relatively unknown esp outside of China..

Yea… the bit whereby he is brought up by grandparents is pretty worrying… it’s alright when he was an infant… but it looks like he is already ~3 yrs old…

Think QL-XF relationship mostly lack foundation…. Most of the getting to know each other only happened after marriage which surprisingly still happens in real life in current times…. XF has a point when she said QL actually quite a decent guy, I concur…. It all comes down to expectations and compatibility.

QZ-YN is closer to wot should have “ideally” and usually takes place in a relationship. You already make major discoveries although not its entirety before you marry/live together with someone. And couples are faced with the big question of whether they want to accept these things and still get married.

Not the same…. Those are just very bullet point on the surface qualities/similarities…. It is exactly like you mentioned about knowing someone’s character… that doesn’t occur overnight but equally one don’t necessarily need to trial-and-error by living under the same roof to discover a person’s character or family. Relationships are built with time, effort and most importantly observation…. These can all be built to great lengths albeit with some limitation before marriage..

Gosh. Moral of story is women should get married, both men and women should BUT defo shouldn’t get married in a haste and to any Tom, Dick and Harry seriously….. the whole course of your life takes a 180 degree turn when you marry the wrong person and never get a divorce….

Xing Fu deserves so much better... if she found the right partner when she was slightly older with more life experiences she probably would be a CEO of a big company (although it look like she’s heading in that direction now)… Her story reminds me of Maria Cordero’s real life story a little… they have similar spirits and character though physically they look very different.. lol.

Also a side note, totally want to commend the production team on FINALLY maintaining the presumably original English dubbing of Caucasian actors!! Bravo! These nuances are super important seriously…. Esp for this kinda drama. The French guy Frank reminds me of my ex-boss.

This looks super cool.. wonder wot the plot is about.

I always get confused between Bai Lu and Li Qin. I thought they were the same actress when I just started watching C-dramas. They give off the doppelgänger vibe although not as strongly as Javier Bardem and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

After re-watching Tomb of Sea…. They defo should have casted Qin Hao for Reunion and Zhu Yi Long for the other. Qin Hao’s gaze just naturally wins hands down. He would have suited the timeline for this one perfectly given all the experiences Wu Xie has been through. Zhu Yi Long is really a tad too young to emulate the Wu Xie in the corresponding Chong Qi novel.

Still love this TV adaptation though…. It’s a lot smoother… and flows a lot more naturally. And of course most of the cast did a fantastic job.
And all the OSTs were amazing, the only adaptation that had amazing OSTs in my opinion.

Yeap that’s fine, so totally appreciate the very short verbal summary right at the start to try to give some form of connection to the prior TV adaptation + background….
But this whole Xiao Hua meeting the first time thing is quite ridiculous given he has multiple arcs over the course of the many novels. There must be only one “right/real” meeting for the first time.,… unless even in the novel, I.e the author is also crazy or like amnesiac…. Which could be the case for someone who has wrote 1600 chapters… but someone should have stepped in to cross-check when they do TV adaptations….

I like the Pan Zi here the most out of all. He fits the role like how I imagined him to be. Casted perfectly. Casting and artiste changing + swapping for the whole Lost Tomb series is superb crazy. Mess. Ridiculous. Even Leads can change in every single adaptation…… wot the………..

I came here just to ask the EXACT same question as well. And also Huo Xiu Xiu + Hei Yan Jing. They should have all known each other prior…… I’m so confused… Does anyone know the ans…..?

I believe that Qiling would somewhat be addressed in Tibetan Sea Flower. Think the series is completed but not released yet.

They’ve changed it like a zillion times, the actor is different for every single adaptation… how crazy is that. Just like Wu Xie.

Couldn’t agree more, I was thinking the same Zhu Yi Long is after Edward Zhang that totally makes no sense, the difference physically is so obvious… epic fail
