Megumi-H

My interpretation is Prof Gao pin all high hopes on his eldest daughter (FL’s mom) who is also talented. And his anger is a reflection of his disappointment that his ‘mini me’ would choose love and not choose to follow his legacy. So it’s more than pride, it’s also his identity and what he believes in. This happens when parents can’t let go and just let children decide their happiness even it’s not the best or could be wrong. Major control issue.

I thought the drama is not out yet, so how did we get a review?

Oh dear, that’s going to take a while. Have you try illegal site like kisskh?

Agreed, quite hard to find good story and well design character. May be we are in the wrong page and wrong drama. I will still finish it as don’t like to drop a drama since it’s almost done, but will likely just skip through most dumb scene.

Yeah for a smart female lawyer, she shouldn’t be degraded to behave such a way, wasted character. I blamed the writing and plot design.

Yes! Love the story, it’s written with realism and well thought out.

Like the popular RPG, Last of us, to save one must kill all. I hope I don’t end up feeling empty…hahaha. Let’s see how it progress.

Seeing lots of people commenting about the third party troupe. I am not surprised, it is typical of Rom-Com to pull a third party crisis troupe on the CP at the last few ep and then close it with a wham bam HE. However I am more disappointed if the character design of this third party lady. She is suppose to be an opposite of ML, strong decisive and driven in career, to see. she wasted her talent just to set up and compete with FL. WHY??!!! Cant writer wrote a smarter plot and not make her such a love brain? I know I am going to skip a lot for the last 6 ep. Sigh.

It’s a very typical plot nowadays to force a crisis for the relationship and make the viewers feel bad for them, then end with a rush HE. I believe 7 ep is possible to do all that, but agreed that it’s a drag to see such writing. I am keeping an open mind on finishing this.

Saw that. Wonder will the drama be different. That feels like a sad ending for the CP.

Totally with you on this. That happened to most of us after TTEOTM. We have such strong aftermath that we do a group re-watch quite quickly. Great that you are already on your third re-watch. Some of us said to do our third re-watch coming April 24, to celebrate how we began the journey on April 23. Yup, still got my years mix up, not used to 2024 yet. lol!
Yeah, after TTEOTM, quite hard to pick up another Wu Xia or XianXia so quickly, can’t compare after when we watched the best for 2023. Enjoy;)! Will join in soon again.

Ep 14, their relationship just got better and their first breakup. But it’s good milestone to discover each others’ important. Missing each other, one drown in sorrow with alcohol. Hopefully this won’t drag too long.

Ep 13, really likes the honesty developing between ML and FL. And wow on ML’s experience in his work, he thinks on behalf of others’ needs. How many nowadays, do we work with a heart and/or purely for profit.

This Yang Ba Wan is really so wishy washy!!! Qiang Ge is the hero!👏🏻

ZRN, I also dropped most of her previous dramas. But can watch for CXX, if you like Rom-Com, it’s sweet to watch. Their intimate scenes are passable.;)

Yes, it’s seen in dynamic of prideful and prejudice family, and such practice will pass on to next generation. The aunty’s selfish behaviour is an over dramatic portrayal but real possibility. Well her suffering is she also lives in the shadow of her own sister. Always felt not good enough.

Ep 13, this game require calmness and logic and good in mathematics. 😅 It’s a challenge of friendship, Qiang Ge will be challenged.

Yup, that’s definitely a deterrent for many.

Not enough watchers as this is not widely marketed and lack publicity because there are no major or idol castings. But glad that people who found it and enjoys it so far.;)

I have similar thoughts on some points you raised. 1) I don’t think ML is a bad person, I believe he and FL were childhood friends and gone through somethings together. But FL sealed her memories after a traumatic accident that has to do with her parents. Since then they lost contact and I don’t think it’s coincident ML found FL in the game, felt it’s a set up and the reasons have to do with FL’s capability to manage these games. The set up is likely by the big bosses like you said the old farts who is trying to do some mind controlling experiments. If you watch ‘Maze Runner’ or ‘Hunger Games’. I felt it could be that kind of concept, putting the players through difficult tasks and only select the elites. I wonder what is the meaning of ‘freedom’ in the game organizer concept. ML could be recruited by the company because they knew he used to be closed to FL, I feel the target is still on FL, but no idea why yet. So I didn’t read the novel, but someone mentioned it was FL’s triumph to find love via 19th floors. I don’t know as this theme will seem so small scale, I felt it’s more likely the company wants to develop a VR product that can sell resilience and courage building for people who gone through trauma and suppress their potential. Just sharing my thoughts thus far.
