A truly beautiful death worthy of warrior lord Pingjin 😢. ZZX will make you proud and restore honour to the family name. I get a strong sense of an underlying theme relating to the children of the new generation improving conditions and righting the wrongs of generations past. 

ZH takes a step forward on the difficult road to justice (revenge is never enough). He didn't thoroughly enjoy the death of MPJ, in part due to his relationship with ZZX. This was a touching moment where we saw concrete proof ZH's humanity is not gone. 

Eunuch Cao has been stung, and more formidable foes have arrived on the scene looking to halt the rise of Zang Hai, but at this point, I feel they are the ones who are in danger.

I believe you're experiencing exactly what the creators of WAWW wanted you to experience. The atmosphere created is one where reality and the imagined blend together, and it's hard to decipher whether the events you just witnessed really happened or not. If the person you just met exists in the real world or is simply an apparition of the mind. In many ways, the creators have visually constructed a world that represents the mind of the individual inflicted by this disorder, and they have positioned the viewer between a state of disorientation and one of wonder.

I'm thinking there will be some sad goodbyes tomorrow. For them and for us 😭.

You're correct. Good spot. The one they had up before read more like the plot of the stroy. This one is much better and doesn't feel like a spoiler.

Congratulations, Xingyue 👏. Many more achievements to come.

Alright, I completed episode 27. I think I just witnessed my favourite battle sequence in all of Cdrama. I don't care what anyone says. I love Marquis PJ. He's an alpha and a warrior. Please, give him a warrior's death 🫡 💀 😭.

I will bury him in my all-time favourite villains graveyard.

This. I'm starting to think we are essentially wandering through his confused mind while he is in the process of being cured. I wonder if a JXD really does exist in the real world?

That's normal. WAWW is a total mind-trip (I really wanted to use another word 😆). The synopsis will give you some grounding where we should roughly end up. But, without it, it's like you've entered into the patient's disturbed mind and become lost yourself.

It's underappreciated on MDL...

Reminder: In this drama, things aren't what they seem (I won't spoil it for you). 

Derailment has unusual changes in tempo due to the side plot of her building a new life in the new world she finds herself in. For some people, this was unnecessary filler. For others, like myself, it made perfect sense as there were no guarantees she would ever make it back to her old world. Essentially, the story flips between trying to figure out what happened to her (solving the mystery) and her making the best of the situation, getting on with things, and living life. 

Derailment has many layers / components (which works well for longer 30-40 episode dramas). One such component is an aspect of life drama. If you can become invested in this life drama portion of the show, you'll love it. But, if you need your dramas to remain hyper-focused on solving the mystery, then it might not be for you.

It's a wild one. Enjoy. This drama is such a feast for the eyes. A visual masterpiece, imo.

I have one suggestion. You might want to try "What a Wonderful World" (2025). It's a Zhao Liying short drama currently airing on IQIYI (8 episodes). It shares some similarities with Derailment. I personally love both.

Zang Hai master of psyops / psychological warfare.

Tbf, the writers have done such a terrific job that they deserve our trust that they'll deliver us an ending that is just as high quality as the rest of the show👍. I believe in them.

Looking forward to the OST. I haven't skipped the opening & closing credits since this drama started. Particularly like the outro song.

Tbh, if it wasn't for the spoiler synopsis up above, I'd have no sense of direction at all. This drama ties you in all kinds of knots. It's so good at doing it. It makes you question that synopsis.

A unique art-house and high-end production hybrid. It's so strange, the best way to describe it at this point is simply as an experience.

Memento vibes from all those post-it notes. What a wonderfully weird adventure we are on. I'm still lost in the fog. Perhaps, I'm the NPC.

Could it be that none of this is real, and he is essentially lost in his mind?

Yes, I quite like the under the radar comment sections, too. I'm always on the look for things that are a bit different, so I'll probably find myself in a few of them. Good to see I'm not the only one 🙂 .
