The comments indicate it..

Ep 21: Wu Lian is despicable, manipulating MIL and Wife. He doesn't deserve the ending in episode 25.

That would have been an excellent epilog to the drama plot. A pity, the writer did not think of it.

😆😏😆😏

Dr Ji actor looks like a younger version of Ji Sung, the K-actor. LOL I thought that was why they cast him as Dr Ji.

LOL I didn't even connect the actor with MLC. That subplot in MLC was forgettable.

In episode 23. they finally identified Country M as Malaysia. They were censoring the name of the country in several episodes. LOL

I know it would be burdensome for you to write a recap of the entire drama, but I am sure it would be very funny, and effective. Do you know of the Problematic of the Unproblematic site? Your recap writing style is similar to the patrons who used to write recaps of dramas.

You did a brilliant recap with sarcasm, as needed. I am sure it is even better than the individual episodes. I don’t understand why the writer bothered to exonerate Demon Seed in episode 25.

The sad thing is that there were mothers like her in the 20th century. I hope they don’t exist in the 21st century.

I forgot the timeline for NIF2. I wonder when they will start preproduction on NIF3. They have to hire several dozen actors for the supporting roles.

She is also the best leader. She listens, and then makes a plan, unlike some leaders (... bosses), who don't listen, and who make impromptu decisions.

Yes! I recognize that landmark in all the Shanghai dramas, and that elongated building in the photo. LOL

The two characters might as well sit behind a laptop, and pretend they are writing the story. The woman is a bad painter btw.

I was getting confused with the names Liuxi, Qingzhi, Longzhi, and seeing two females only. Also, who is the female painter? Which world is she in, and why does she and the old man know so much about what is going on in the Yumen Pass?

Most of the modern dramas are set in Shanghai, so I wondered if this setting was Shanghai. I never saw smog in the Shanghai dramas, so I guessed it was Beijing, famous for the smog.

It looks like Beijing, with all the smog.

The Li Na/Father story was very agonizing to watch and assimilate. They could have removed the whole segment and shorten the drama by four or five episodes. The legal drama should be about clients, not family problems. The needy brother-in-law story was also another waste of time. Cut out another four or five episodes, and the drama would have been down to 30 episodes.

The birth mother might have been the impetus. Did she meet a lover at the inn? Young Wu Lian might have seen or heard them. The wedding night must have pushed him over the edge.

I can't recall any drama adding an alternate reality ending. I am just surprised that the director and writer would take that route with a drama that carried a social message, that is relevant in modern times.
