Good Grief

Who knows what ridiculous laws China has. 🤷‍♂️

YES!!!!!!! I'm here for it!

I'm so glad most of the original Jin Man/Ji An's team seems to be back 💪🏻🥳👍🏻

Cannot wait!!! Genuinely, A Shop for Killers is one of Wook’s best dramas. I really hope season 2 does well!

Also I just want to say, when has it ever been a rule the ml and fl must fall in love at the same time/have the same feelings. I feel like people are so used to cdramas with one dimensional love stories, ml and fl both insanely in love with each other, but thats not how romance works.

I guess the FL bashing and sorry bashing because the romance is not moving forward has started . Bai Lu actually is excellent in this role but I guess some people are noticing . And they are expecting a traumatic mentally ill woman to be all loved up. Fantastic! Does that even make sense??? I guess this is nothing new for this forum

Idk why, but I kinda find it cringe that the ML is the only one who can fight the general. He's been in a wheelchair for 8 years, and after recovery, he's still limited to walking but can defeat a strong, active general. No prominent general in that country could fight the general except for the guy with a fractured leg.
But again I would be a fool to expect logic from dramas 😭😭

Of course she'd find it strange. It's similar to seeing Europeans dressed as samurai, Asians dressed in ancient Egyptian attire. Some people will just say, "It's a fictional story," but that's such a silly justification.

I wish her all the best with her new life. She deserves to be happy💓

if this ain't for you, there is nothing wrong with quitting. far better than slowly destroying yourself. good for her. hope she finds happiness in something else, somewhere else. best of luck!

It’s fact that someone with multiple personalities have not only different personalities but each personality has their own muscle memory and separate skill sets. One personality could be good at music for instance, while another could be tone deaf and all thumbs. To access those skills as Ye Li she would need to integrate the other personality through healing. Or it could be as Yulsa said, a shock that had her frozen and overwhelmed. I don’t know how true to reality and that kind of thing the script writer will follow either, perhaps typing this paragraph was a waste of time. :)

Now I know why Qing Shuang is listed quite high on the cast list. Even long before the drama started, when the cast and credits on MDL weren't as much as they are now, her name was already on the list.

damn 😲
That child actor has great future

Novel is different from the drama, the adaptation is less an adaptation and leaning more towards an original story. So, everyone can just speculate, form theories from the released episodes and get surprised at the end of the day by the reveals as anyone else, whether they have read the novel or not.

Just to clarify something about the stroke‑count discussion:

In Chinese, there’s no alphabet like A–Z, so names can’t be sorted alphabetically the way we do in Western languages.

Sorting by the number of strokes in a surname is actually one of the traditional and neutral ways to organize Chinese names — it plays a similar role to alphabetical order, even though it’s not an alphabet.

So when people say it’s ‘basically alphabetical’, they mean it’s the Chinese equivalent of a fair, standardized sorting system. It’s not random or unusual in that cultural context.
