Do you. This is what Baidu explained about the OST : The ending theme song is called 《嘉宾》(Guest), written and composed by Wang Zeyan 王泽言 and Zhang Yuan 张远 (who is the male singer, with a pleasant voice). Lyricist and composer Fu Hao 付毫 also sang the song《空气》(Air) during episode, and is the author of the song 《Tell me why》 sung by He Ruixian in an interlude (but I did not pay enough attention to remember exactly where these two songs featured). The instrumental intro was pleasant and I had not heard it before; the piano pieces are of course widely recognizable to classic music lovers.
It is not unusual that C dramas recycle known music into their soundtracks.
Here, I did not notice Chinese songs that were previously frequently played on Chinese radio, but then I do not listen much to Chinese radio, and there are so many of them...
And my Chinese song taste is probably different.
Do you have precise titles that I could check ? You made me curious.

Yes. It was said in the drama that he was cured of it in the first episodes.
Perhaps it was a mistake in presentation or diagnose, since I don't think bipolar disorder can be so effectively cured.

Watching the trailer, "BTS", and character presentation on WeTV which warns to stay tuned (but does not state a date)... Until then, interesting trivia such as "25°C : the residual temperature of the 3,800 outfits after ironing ; 48°C the boxed lunches that feed the crew in winter..." It looks impressive and cold ! Just what will be needed for the countries hit by midsummer heat waves ?

nice, despite the pitfalls on the way to the dolls' romance 😊

❤️

No I didn't watch All Is Well. You seem to have enjoyed it a lot 🙂
If you did not skip and ff and watched closely, as I mostly did (there were a few times when I had to get busy with other stuff and had to go back a bit to keep up with the twists and turns), then perhaps this will be a plot hole unless we suddenly get that tied down neatly in the next (and last) couple episodes. But however she was convinced this was SJ heart in the first place happened before the story, and QJ chose to disregard that "bond" from ep 8 or before, looking at the future instead of the past, so: not that crucial for later events in the drama. And when SJ showed up in the flesh, all the past misunderstanding about the heart transplant fell down the drain anyway.
What I find more puzzling is how the "smart cookie" did not suspect SJ who had been strangely silent, ghosting from sidelines when she was being "oppressed" during those 3 years (even if we subtract one for recovering from leg injuries: that part is also a bigger plot hole, if not explained, btw. How could all QJ searching not have uncovered his hospital stay and rehabilitation whereabouts?).

It is up to you if you watch dramas because of ratings.
As I answered someone else : I am not in that pack of monkeys. So... even if I will not it rate it straight 10, it probably won't sink below 8 from me (and I have rated some dramas down to 4 before : incl a previous Luo Zheng one, sigh. This one is way better as far as I am concerned).
MDL rating at 7.4,takes into account those who like and those who hate it from 86 users at time of writing.
That's NOT ABYSMAL esp if you compare it to your own statement "*** 7.0-8.0: watchable."

Here there are "already" 3 early reviews Including 2 "reviewers" (one of which posts 20 ep watched when ep 20 is not even out, and writes "dropped" it so : this review can be safely overlooked as rather dishonest) and another who states where stopped watching (ep 5). I am rather annoyed at such "influencers" who think it is their God given task to instruct audience in how to watch and think.
The 3rd one wanted to show support to FL. Why not?
I am not a fan of Luo Zheng, nor of any in the cast, but this outrageous drama was good fun for me. Nevertheless I will not spend more time fighting the flock of sheep who go all stampeding together at the tune of one size fits all thoughts and bias.

It's an OK drama if you watch it from black humor pov. Certainly not to the taste of everyone : pregnant women : avoid it. Looking only for kisses: probably not enough. Logic: adequate though some things are still unexplained at final -2 episodes. Thrills: quite a few. Counting spins on tropes : a festival. Acting and delivering dialogues: generally OK from my pov. Chemistry : not much worse than my fave Binbin and Wu Qian on your watch list (I liked that drama esp for Erbin, although disappointed by last couple episodes).
So there.
You are still watching 3 other dramas that I watch too, but given your profile and your above question, I'd say you will be too faint-hearted for this one. Stay with The Youth Memories and BOR : they are more comfortable for you (I much like them too, even contributed a Discussion piece to the first one, when I started watching it, weeks back).

Not confused at all, but enjoying too although I was wary about Luo Zheng at first.

Yes.

Yes and no... Referring you to my answer to Majestic, below if you want some spoilers.

Me, an academic ? Oh how flattering to ancient spirit me ! 😊

Is it that crucial?
Btw I noticed you also are watching In Later Years: what's your opinion about that one?

Yes, GY mom did explain to her son. GY was unconcerned about the matter before QJ raised it. Why she was misunderstanding was not that clear to me : did the mom scheme or someone else tamper with the medical records that she thought she had seen (this is only in fleeting view), so the "secretary" would stay and take care of her son before QJ could be discarded as "third wheel" ?

Ooh that's a tough question given there are a lot of twists and turns. Love declaration in ep6: they "were together from the start" (3 years before drama starts), even if GY did not understand. Neat kiss in ep8 27:56 after which he moves in with her again.... Towards ep 18 they finally get approval from both moms. If that helps... But nothing is certain until bitter or better end !

I'd say No despite one that left speedily for business on other continent.

You can have a look at my Currently watching list...

Lagging behind on some that I will quickly get back to after these next to last episodes here.
The one that is more serious is The Youth Memories ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ (to which I contributed a Discussion piece on the MDL page),
the most fluffy stupid but adorable one is Mr Insomnia ❤️ ❤️ ❤️,
and the most childish but sweet one is Gone With The Rain. ❤️ ❤️
I also am still on xianxia business with the 2 ongoing/finished ones BFTB & BOR (after the two I watched before this year: The Starry Love , and TTEOTM because Luo Yunxi & Bai Lu ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ fan here so of course, I loved it).

Since I liked Diliraba from some previous numbers, I will go on later perhaps with PE which is not as engaging to me as I hoped though ;
then there's a medical one and two old ones that I was rewatching to decide whether or not they were worth doing that, but left hanging because swamped with new ones. (And Internet acquaintance Peggy keeps launching new appetizers at me until I... die from too much c-drama watching lol.)

A few days ago, I finished Here We Meet Again : confirming my love for Vin Zhang Binbin ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️, still less warm for Janice Wu Qian, although she is at her most lovely there. Mentioning in comments the interesting (but unsubtitled) WeTV event recorded in Chengdu on June 9 and posted to YouTube.
Also recently finished Gen Z Houlang which I found quite engaging and interesting, contributing a Discussion piece about stuff in that drama such as Shennong and TCM, Lao Tzu, Daoism, reading the Yi Jing and some other miscellaneous traditional Chinese culture items, plus a poem and other stuff.

Also continuing with A Date With The Future (to which I contributed a piece about Earthquakes in China, in Discussions on its MDL page) although finding it sometimes rather soporific... Too much hackneyed love triangle, although I hoped Ci Sha would do better, since I did remember him from his lawyer role as friend of Zhousheng Cheng in F&E.

Apart from checking out someday the "old" Korean drama Goblin mentioned by emeraldarrows commenter, I don't really plan to add more. Of course if The Longest Promise materializes or .... Immortality... I'd drop everything in “on-hold“ for those ones.

The Harbin born one then ; well, Harbin is not that far removed from Korea...

No disputing the "hit and run" offense from BY abetted by her agent.

Perhaps pregnant women should not watch this drama, because it could be triggering for them in those couple episodes if they are at risk (sorry if that's your case, then I understand your objections. )

I maintain that a pregnant woman who has been warned that the months ahead are tricky should NEVER engage in such things as : Climbing many stairs in a remote place, go horse back riding( not here), go long distance running or athletic swimming, engage in fistyfights, moving house, picking cotton in the middle of a hot day, parachuting, bungee jumping... (these are just some other examples of strenuous /dangerous activities) ... and any other strenuous effort. I had to save a future mother from almost losing her baby and bleeding out in the process, because she did not heed my good counsel and went on carrying weights, working overtime, climbing stairs, moving house. So, I really know the risks. First three and last three months are the most at risk ones, and therefore a future mom should be careful.

But this is just a drama, not a blueprint for life lessons. And the whole drama here is far from as triggering as some other (not only c ones), that I watched : to me, once you put up the shield of "yes, ok, black humor, tropes counting" there is really no reason to get too heated up.
Let's just admire how villainous the villains are, tongue in cheek lament how gullible some supposedly sharp ones are, laugh at the obvious comic moments... Normal is a very subjective notion, anyway, and staying with the ordinary is ... so dull? This Skip a beat is not soporific

Umm perhaps our conversation here should be spoiler protected?
Although maybe given what we agree on, we should put a Trigger warning for pregnant women about the specific episode(s) ?

Ah; There are two ?
"Sun Qian is a Chinese actress born in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province and graduated from the Central Academy of Drama. She officially entered showbiz in 2016 with her debut in the movie "Love The Way You Are". (Source: Baidu, Douban)" or
"Sun Qian is a Chinese actress. On August 4th, 2013, she married Pekinese actor Yuan Han Cai after six years of dating."
So, which one, and what drama made such an impression on you that you think He Ruixian could be evoking the Sun Qian you remember ?
I do remember the one who played He Yuanzi in MG 2018 and "Friday" in ARitOG and support in Wild Bloom, but to me, He Ruixian is not that much a look-alike ?

This drama does wake many emotions for watchers. I'm having fun with it, but I am a rather dispassionate watcher, so not going to ever consider this one as a Model for healthy love life, lol.
It is often clear how black humor laced it is. Some thrilling moments still have me glued enough to screen to have shooed away a family member who was interrupting my watching! So I agree with a previous commenter who stated "it has it all", K and C and lakorn tropes even Indian Bollywood with a dash of "Turkish surprise". That made me laugh till my sides hurt, because so true : a masterpiece perhaps, in that exercise of style. Truly a change from the lachrymose "serious" ones we are still being served elsewhere. (I am watching a few, not bothering with reviews or even too many comments, after they started to stray into the endless predictable groove. Here? We will be kept on our toes till the bitter or better end, I think.)
