I was really surprised when I stumbled upon this randomly on yt. Caesar wu on a vertical short drama? Wha-- how? But I have to say this one definitely looks better than other dramas with similar format. Story wise too, not bad.

Chinese dramas always have this thing where they did not quite know how to end a story, and then proceeds to add the most random things hoping for a last minute 'wth was that?' moment XD

Is it just me or was the last few episodes editing feels very choppy? Especially the start of the episodes always took me aback, like, wait a minute did I miss a whole episode? How did we get here? Has it always been like this since ep 1? I binged the first 12 episodes so I might have missed something lol

Ok thanks! 😘

Do I need to watch s1 first to understand things happening in s2?

To be fair, technically, she acted that way because the ML gave her pointers. Her fault really was just that she's that naive to take advice from strangers in the internet.
And while i do agree with the message that 'you should be yourself, people will like you even if you're being your honest self'; what I don't condone is the way that he acted so mean and disgusted with her like she did not even deserve basic courtesy. That's just not cool, man.
She's probably partly angry at herself for acting like a fool, and then decided to love herself and stop being infatuated with men who wouldn't appreciate her. And then when she knew that he lied to her about his identity of course she's going to be angry again. The fact that he has liked her for years did not matter cause all she knew was that she's being played! Twice!
So yeah. He totally deserves the cold shoulder. Besides, it's not like she's lacking with the choices, other boys are literally lining up for her, so...
But, don't get me wrong, of course I'm all for them getting together at the end. I'm just saying, all in due time :D

In contrast to everyone wishing them to start officially dating soon; i think he totally deserves the wait. Maybe i'm just petty lol. But dude, just because you didn't like the girl (just because some dumb preconceived image of her which isn't even true) you didn't have to be so mean. It's only logical for her to question his motives after all of that.
But anyway, i have to admit they're cute together. As per usual cdramas schedule, they would usually got together by 2/3 of the entire length of the show, so, probably at ep 16 then XD

Watched the 1st ep and I'm already hooked, which is rare nowadays. Now i just have to sit back and wait so i can binge watch when it's finished. Well, at least the wait won't be too long since this only has 12 episodes. Hope it stays great until the end.

so this is essentially kinda like the truman show?

I'm on ep7 and so far i find the FL very annoying. Fine, she has a sad past, but to make it her entire personality to be a brat and constantly making life difficult for people around her, including the people she claimed to be in love with? Nah. Even if she can't be useful, at least stop making other people's life harder, smh.

I'm barely 10 mins in and i'm already loving the ML. He's so hilarious and i relate so much to his 'I don't want titles cause I hate responsibilities' attitude. I hope he stays that way until the end.

manga matsunaga is... as greenflag as an older man liking younger girl could be, i think. all characters behaved pretty reasonably. manga hojo is pretty steadfast in his adoration, but, in a non disruptive way.

SEA wetv has it up to ep 12

Watching this in 2024 is kinda confusing. If i didn't came here and check the comments, I wouldn't know why the story has these weird jump cuts. I binged the whole show in 2 days with 1.25-1.5x speed and I think that's the only way to make this show watchable. The substance is quite thin, but still enjoyable. I'm personally surprised that the game part of the story, with all the serviceable sets and cgi, doesn't feel disruptive. Instead it enchance the feeling of being in a game world, and that's one thing that I appreciate.

Whelp I guess he really can not escape being typecasted LOL
also the quality of the translations is exactly what keeps me on the fence. I guess i'll wait until it has better translation. I really hope it will come with better trans because i can't imagine watching thriller with wacky subs.

Wei zhe ming not being a CEO/professor? Count me in!
But whoopsss it's on mangotv 😬

I skipped a lot of parts but i just find it really cute every time cheng yao called her boss 'lao ba' XD I usually find FL who speaks cutely annoying but zhang ruo nan speaks really softly, so even though it sounds a bit too childish for a lawyer, it's somehow passed my vibe check. I wonder if she always speaks like this? This is the first time I watched her drama.

There's one scene on episode 4 that makes me confused, during the conversation before peter goes to bed with his mom, are they supposed to be talking in english? They're clearly dubbed and the lip movement kinda matched with the english translation LOL. But if that's the case, then why bother dubbing it back into Chinese? I mean, the show has no problem showing conversations using different languages so far, I wonder what makes this scene special.

A funny bits i got from watching another drama, was that the current trend of writers writing sad ending seems to be pandering for the global audience and I wonder if this works in chinese drama too. I understand that drama and tragedy usually go hand in hand in epic costume dramas. But like, how much of this, especially in this drama case, is caused by actual narrative purpose or by any other external purpose (editing, marketing, etc)?
I think what makes lot of people disappointed with the ending, despite loving the drama itself, is that, it's a rare feat for a period idol drama to have such a winning ensemble of casts (a personal observation based on things i've watched this year). Everyone is smart and/or has excellent character development arc. But in spite of that, everyone dies. It just seems futile and hopeless, and like, we watch drama to be entertained, not to be trolled after believing and rooting for the characters.
Also, the amount of people keep coming here after finishing the drama asking over and over again 'what's the meaning of the ending?' begs an additional explanation/FAQ page in the discussion section XD
tagging this as a spoiler just to be safe

Ah, okay then, thanks for the info!
