Haven't seen Wallace for too long after Love Me If You Dare.
Question: Is Xiao Man the final couple pairing?

27 and 28? LMFAO. People are just too obsessed with age and not the real art.
Unless the actor is under 20 paired with unreasonably old man or unless the age becomes a hindrance to play in certain roles, why care for age? They are adult and can choose to act in whatever work and with whoever as co-stars.
Only if the FL/ML's acting is severely inferior will I feel pity for the ML/FL who are by contrast doing a great job

I mean, the novel is highly praised by the novel community which made the novel a highly anticipated novel in my must-read-list.
Now, that there is a Drama adapation, it doubles the utility. I can simultaneously or consecutively read and watch a great work come to life.
Or, I may be highly dissatisfied by the poor production of the drama i.e. butchering of the source material(hope not)

NOVEL: "Ascending, Do Not Disturb"
Such sweet surprise

Evil is everywhere. We need to fight it but lets not totally turn against our counterparts. World is evolving. Patriarchy was a way of life when war and physical strength was the most necessary of survival tools.
Men kill, women kill. What evil men can do, women can too.
Hyperfixating on only the worst cases of men will do you no service! And if enough women turn hostile towards men like you are, the men in the society will be demotivated. AND the society will devolve towards a dumb and unnecessary conflict where men no longer care to prove themselves innocent (because why would they need to apolosize for things that aren't really true and things they would never do).
I urge you to be more of a rational thinker. Being pessimistic and turning hateful towards men serves no purpose

keep babbling

Just my understanding:
No most men in real life don't use past trauma as a justification to do wicked stuff. They either use the trauma to make themselves better or leave the world behind.
Yes, some unfortunately do go haywire and it happens in female population as well. Some girls can be just as awful, only the way males and females reveal their unraveling maybe different.
Hate is a strong word

Loved the tale. Gave me so much to think about, be it the story line itself or the real life morals we can extract.
Here's a detailed and reasonable theory/inference by @Salwa Nice https://kisskh.at/discussions/754413-hou-hui-you-qi/144970-twelve-letters-explanation-of-the-ending-post-credit-scene-some-questions
SPOILER(DONT READ FURTHER): I agree Shen Cheng was most likely adopted from the Orphanage and Hai Tang married so that she could provide a better life to Shen Cheng

So your way of destigmatizing is calling someone a sociopath?
People these days want to normalize eveything(the way they want to) out there.
And initial comment I made was not even abt this. It was about you calling someone a sociopath cuz she played the role to perfection.
Sociopath: Individual with ASPD showing persistent disregard for others' feelings, social norms, and laws
SO yeah lets not call someone that. And no need to normalize the term as a compliment, let the people with ASPD just exist without hyperfocusing on them
P.S- complimenting someone who did a great job serving humanity is a no-brainer. I have no problems there

I might sound a little aggresive, but it is not really great a outlook that you have i.e. you hinting someone is a sociopath like that is some great compliment!
I don't want people to stigmatize sociopathy, but there is also no need to call people sociopath just because they did a great job in some aspect of modern life!
We should give people credit for skill, not pathologize success.
And, tbh your comment was not that bad in hindsight.

Her acting is too good and thus you can't attack from that angle; so you in your brain ought to justify it by portraying her real life personality to be the same evil(whatever) that she is here?
That's reaching too far into the void
Can't you just admit like a normal person, that she may be a really good actor?! sigh

Preview Episode 7, they are not seriously showcasing a helmet that wont break are they? Hope those are for construction or for something that I am not aware of!
because as far as I know, helmets are supposed to break so that our brain doesn't.

Yep. It's the hastily devised romance (used as a way for luring audience. it lacks well thought out roamance story) and its poor execution that detiorates the story. Only if they gave much thought and love to the romantic sub-plot.
What makes good romance (in a drama where romance isn't the main genre) isn't the long and constant romantic screen time but the sufficient planning; effort fromt the writer,director; and enactment from the actors(chemistry).

China banning time travel will always be the most nonsensical brain rot I will ever come across. The CCP leaders must have been kicked in the head by a retarded donkey.

They ruined this in the last 2 episodes (mostly Jiang Chang Yang). I was waiting for them to really get together and work together as a real couple.
After all that has happened, they are hurting each other again? Impressive writing I have to say. Impeccable sequence of events.

Major L from MangoTV translation dept as usual(if this is official tl).
This trashy translation should be one of the trashier MTL.
Its like they didn't even try and just machine translated everything thinking the english speaking audiecne eats whatever is thrown at them, even if it is a goopy illegible slop

I am fine as long as its not foor fat-fetched

yes, i was criticizing the writers that take us for fools. They want to give us a HE because a lot of viewers want a HE most of the time(including me). But the problem is, first they to make it impossible to have a real and lasting HE but forcefully give the protags a HE.
That is like telling us to "Shut Up, ignore the logic, and just be satisfied with the slop HE that YOU(the viewers) wanted".

So, does DJ suffer from punch drunk syndrome or CTE? Hope not. Because writers might make up tart and try to convince us that he was cured at the end

I thought about it, but I want people to understand Liu Hao Cun would be a good choice for a non-romance drama like this one.
I saw some comments saying they won't watch this because of her, and I didn't want people to think she is fundamentally a bad actor. My comment also explains why people might not like her. Sorry that I conveniently rambled about another drama though as I didn't want to copy paste to the drama page 😅
