I agree this story need 24 episodes max, I felt they kinda stretched it without sauce.
I have no idea. They never reveal it. For example, LLTG, they made the directors cut ten episodes. That’s why the final few episodes were all a mashup of events weirdly connected.

FOOD for thought Comparing the two LuSi collabs with this same editor in Love's Ambition and previously, Dating In The Kitchen:
1) LA moves from angst to romcom AND DITK moves from romcom to some angst 2) Both have older MLs because they were experienced CEOs 3) Both have ML who were calculating and went about catching the FL's deception (in the DITK drama, it was all very funny while in LA it was very tense and angsty) 4) The seduction parts were funny. Well, LuSi's comic timing has always been amazing, so no surprise here. But you can see the ML's chase of his girl was hilarious and silly, just like Hao Ming in LA. Here is a grown man, resorting to immature antics because all his life, he'd been just the CEO son to his mother's expectations. Compared that to Hao Ming's inability to express his love. 4) The FLs' natural talents and their struggles to get recognized in their respective fields because favoritism/nepotism/connections, etc. 5) LuSi was quite young in the first collab so it wasn't as sexy as her more mature character in LA. Still, both MLs were established stars in their own right and worked very well with LuSi. 6) You can see the Director's stamp in both dramas--the funny scenes were unique and the more serious scenes were layered with emotion.
