OMG just finished all 6 eps and that totally threw me into an Inception loop, in a good way! I have to process this all (and sleep) before sharing my review. Truly a refreshing storyline full of humor, fun, action and satire. It started and ended strong too (a bit of dragginess at times but I can overlook them because of the unserious genre), which is not something many dramas have been able to do. Kudos to the cast and crew, they did a fab job! And thanks to all for the fun discussions/theories!
TPOB was good but I feel like if you watched this first, the ML, Wei Shuo, might be underwhelming. Lol. I was…
I couldn't finish TPOB, despite the good chemistry, the plot didn't keep me engaged. I was worried NH would be too similar to Wei Shuo but thankfully not!
the theory of nan feng is not nan heng might be true
oh what are your thoughts on that?? It's up for interpretation so curious what people think. I always guessed NF=NH just like SXY=SYM, but that ending credit scene with him coming out of a portal makes me question
CGH becoming a great villain was not what I expected seeing. You called him wild and I feel like it was very good…
I felt bad for him, couldn't hate him because we were shown his backstory. It's a shame he became the villain (instead of the original NH) in the end because of circumstances and his choices. Amazing acting on being unhinged! Bravo to all !
Hi I realize the ending might not be very clear for non-Chinese speakers. This is my take on it. Spoiler ahead…
wow what a nice interpretation, I feel like I have to rewatch scenes to pick up all those little hints! I was wondering when the ending credits took place, if it was before or after the HE, but your theory makes sense. Although, I feel like if SXY is SYM, NF can be NH. But that portal...makes me wonder if the NH she saw is separate from NF in the makeup room.
Anyway, the last few eps really helped the drama end strong, and very few dramas have been able to do that (ahem to all the many before this that start strong and end terribly). Felt like I was watching a quirky spinoff of Inception LOL
The ending was so awesome! I was happy with the, leaving it where it was before the credits. When she woke up…
I saw comments about the portal and omgosh I just saw it. What does that mean?! Is NH the same person as she saw in the makeup room? When did this epilogue happen, before or after the 3 months she was away??? Regardless, the unexpected moments and humor and satire were awesome
Loved it way more than I had anticipated! I was going to drop because the beginning was too ham but thankfully…
I actually have to rewatch the first few eps because I was not used to such a storyline at first haha. It’s refreshing! Love that the script is the original story and not an adaptation! It was nice not knowing what to expect
Ok thanks to everyone who mentioned the ending credits lol I was skimming through ep 40 to spoil myself (terrible…
Very refreshing! We need more standalone scripts instead of adaptations because of this. I loved not knowing what to expect and not having to compare it to a novel/webtoon
