You must've watched a lot of time traveling dramas, lol. Did you have a list of dramas you watched? Before joining MDL I made a spreadsheet just to remember which one I watched. Now I just created lists in MDL, including the milestone, way back before I even thought of writing an article! If you have such that you can trace back your journey in 5+ years ;D

The second one is likely correct. In the real world, Yu Qi (or the moderator) doesn't mention anything about Xiao Meng. But also I read that the initial plot in the last episodes was changed due to government censorship. Initial dialogues were dubbed over, resulted to confusion.

lol, you're right... whatever you watch you can't get out of the hole ;D

I dropped IOTNBO but I love Crossfire! My first article is about CF, lol

I follow a Canadian Chinese guy named Marcus who vlogs in Youtube about updated on Chinese dramas. Probably him you meant ;D

Lol... I wish I am given extra hours in a day to watch dramas, lol... I may not FF and skip dramas. FYI, The Eternal Love 3 already finished filming and is under censorship process. Hopefully it will come out as late as early 2021.

I wonder if you added the second paragraph cos I didn't see it before regarding Miss S. I read your review and comments in the drama page. I wanted to see this drama before but didn't cos there was no sub. Is it still? Also another detective drama Trace. Too bad, unlike romance/romcoms that most likely the stories are predictable so I can watch them raw if needed, not with mystery/crime/investigation genre.

omg thank you so much! I will definitely check them out. I have some Taiwanese movies I want to watch. Since the first website seems like originates in Taiwan I hope I can find all these Taiwanese movies: Do You Love Me as I Love You, I WeirDo, and Your Love Song

I peeked into your stats (similar to mine), so we both love watching romcoms or romance dramas. So you know the process: meeting, misunderstandings, confession, more misunderstandings plus jealousy, final secret/sacrifice (or like you said: noble idiocy), and endings. Almost all romcoms/romance are predictable. To add are the side stories/couples, which either boring or entertaining. Eventually, you can skip or ff without losing motivation and finish it, but still understand the whole story.

I'm just wondering... why you haven't tried Republican Era... (I wonder if your reason will be similar like mine why I didn't like it before, lol)

I'm glad this is Netflix so we'll assume the sub will be fast unlike other doramas have to wait for fansubbers to pick them up. Will watch for Kento and Tao, two of my Japanese faves.

Liu Yu Qi... He exists in the real life as the moderator of the scientific experiment. Inside the experiment he is created to be Xiao Meng's boyfriend.
Laws... what laws? they were all parts of scientific experiments. Qian Yuan is 'pulled out' from the experiments to the real life every time he messes up (as Yu Qi said), and thrown back into a certain timeline to fix it aka healing his past.
End part: Qian Yuan chooses to go back to the experiment, instead of moving on in the real life. Though Yu Qi warns that the deeper he goes back (the earlier the time line is created), the harder for Qian Yuan to go back to the reality. The end scene is created as him adopting little Bin Bin and taking care of little Xiao Meng, while just meets his future wife. He thinks by going back to that timeline he will be able to 'control' the fate of those three, so they don't end in tragedy. But as Yu Qi warns: some things will not change. Bin Bin and Xiao Meng may still end up being killers and Qian Yuan's marriage may still fail

Thank you... yeah, in the end: the first few episodes (or even only the first episode) I watch tell my gut to continue or drop ;D

thanks for the links! will wait for the last episode to check it out ;D

I'm glad you loved it... When I first writing the article I had a doubt people didn't like it cos it was a personal journey, everyone has different story. It's not like giving you information or anything.

talking about 'strong backers'... I am wondering... is that why Ever Night 2 got attacked cos they changed Arthur Chen (who is the son of famous director Cheng Kaige) to Dylan Wang? I was late into dramaland, I started watching S1 right when Cnetizens started talking about S2. But I like the story after reading Mao Ni's novel.

Maplestage is closed? Why? I remember last year when I was still using 'currently airing' mode, I was impatient waiting for the subs and always watched the raw episodes in Maplestage. Though I didn't understand what they were talking about but I got the idea, lol. For parts I wanted to know the details I would go back later for the subs.

Thanks! Yeah, not all of them are masterpiece, but gave me numb and I could just say "wow", so it's that wow factor lol

Oh really??? Actually I just want to put the Douban rating for Chinese dramas, with an assumption that the Chinese should rate better than us in MDL, cos they are able to watch dramas without subs so understand the stories/dialogues better, lol. You know bad subs can make watchers confused, no subs make us upset. In MDL people can rate dramas low just because there is no sub, machine-generated, or bad sub. So thanks for your info. Probably should put a note in the ratings that they are subjective, not 100% accurate... No wonder XZ's 3 dramas haven't been released for a long time, though they are all ready! His last is just a guest role in that COVID drama, and currently he's filming a patriotic drama I think. Poor guy, he's walking a thin line.

no worries, they are all in my PTW list already... the problem is: I don't have a chance to watch them yet since I'm focusing on 2020 releases
