The production company probably was spinning the drama as a spinoff, to sell the idea.

I can't understand why this is labeled a sequel. Yang Mi's character has a different name.

That annoyed me every time. The lawyer is a parasite, and she doesn't know that he was colluding with Z.hao Chenxi and Shan Shan and even the step-sister.

I agree with you. I thought that Novoland Castle in the Sky was a quirky drama. Novoland T&E was a grandiose ambition.

I read that another Novoland drama project is scheduled in 2019. I hope that the production team uses the T&E feedback, to improve the drama.

I started out the gate with four stars, but cut it down to 2 stars by the end.

If Novoland makes a 2nd season, they need to go back to the drawing board, and construct a drama effeciently and effectively. They need new writers and production team. The actors were effective with their performances, but they would have to receive quadruple their original salaries, to return.

Three Stooges is the best name for this drama. Nobody was minding the store during the production, and the Director/Cinematographer/Writer got carried away, and the budget followed him closely.

#3 girlfriend was stalking Qiu Dong from Day1. She really wanted that job, and fooled the young assistant into hiring her.

I had a different expectation of the plot, from watching the trailer. I don't know WTF happened toward the end of the drama.

Her decision to leave Qiu Dong did not surprise me.

Did the writer quit, and did a new writer come in, and finish the last five episodes, that were so farfetched?

I could not make sense of the final arc. I felt as if I had entered a parallel dimension. Prior to the Yan Feng/Chen Xiang story, the plot was plausible.

The adult Su's temperament is most similar to Muyun Sheng's.

I agree with you on all four observations. Young Su and Adult Su are not drawing my interest. her best scene was slapping the Empress' niece, and that was wimpy slapping.

They appear to be using flashback as filler, to pad the episodes. Not an efficient system for keeping the viewer focused on the plot!

I have watched up to episode 14. This drama has the best cinematography and the CGI in the glass bead world was amazing. The soundtrack music is also very good. The palace costumes are beautiful.

Plot looks badly written because the present and past scenes are placed haphazardly. This makes it confusing to follow the plot.

I agree about the random and choppy scenes. It really interfered with the continuity of the story.

If the script story had been organized in sequential order, it could have looked more polished.

I didn't care for that mystery at the end. I could not stand Xu Shi Bai, and his stupid hairstyle, throughout the entire drama. It looked like a wig that a balding man would wear.

The last 6 episodes of Season 3 was dedicated to the Alphabet Villians. They were very boring and unnecessary. I fast-forwarded 90% of the episodes. I only wanted to see the finale.
