Bro I can’t explain how flabbergasted I was after the storyline got so CRAZY ADDICTING after ep 21. Like up…
Also I was laughing this morning thinking about how the female second lead from S1 didn’t technically come into the story until 2019. So in the S2 timeline, by the time she would have come in, Fang Leng and Xiao Qi would have already been married and Fang Lie is together with Xiao Bu Poor girl was booted out of the story completely! Bwahahaha The screenwriters do have a way of making us feel so bad for the second leads. After Shinyi FINALLY recognizes that he was in love with Xiao Qi this whole time (doing all the wrong things) his confession to her was actually genuine and sincere. Plus he’s so cute I really felt for him!
Bro I can’t explain how flabbergasted I was after the storyline got so CRAZY ADDICTING after ep 21. Like up until then, it’s basically season 1. But after ep 21, Shinyi decides to go a little psycho and obsessive, and the plot LITERALLY thickens and I was not expecting that ahahaha. MGIAA will always have a special place in my heart and I’m so happy they did s2 so well! It answered my curious questions from S1 about her original genetic match and somehow made us love Xiaobu even more! Haha And I loved how it came full circle back to the scene and year where they met the very first time even in the same outfits. The fashion and color scheme got me intrigued in the first season and S2 did not fail to match the same standards! I have to agree with previous comments that a spinoff miniseries about Fang Lie and Xiaobu would be so cute. They’re literally the Little mermaid story and I would enjoy seeing how they work together to keep her bodyheat under control while falling in love:) The whole cast and staff did an amazing job so thank you for letting me start off 2023 with warm fluffy MGIAA feelings! also i love you Wan Peng! Hehe can’t wait for sword & fairy!
YEE GET IT ELEANOR!!! sidenote: i’ve seen the ML actor as an annoying second lead borderline villain so many times. I can def imagine him as a villain of a novel ahah. I’m excited to see this!!
Is there any love triangle or annoying second leads. When does the leads get together ?
no real love triangles but yes there is one annoying second lead but they deal with her the same episode the leads officially get together (i think around episode 22?) honestly, the romance wasn't dragged out because the main leads were pretty focused on their sport and helped support each other so their relationship wasn't rushed and was so sweet and wholesome) Edit: yeah i went back and it’s episode 22 not 14, my bad. I personally don’t consider the second leads as part of a love triangle/square because it’s pretty clear throughout the whole show they’re in a one sided interest. I see love triangles as the girl deciding between two men or vice versa with a guy and 2 girls. Here, she only respected the coach versus actually falling in love with the main lead. She verbally clarifies this multiple times in different episodes. Neither SLs gained that kind of interest in the MLs so I see them more as a threat to the OTP than actually part of it. But that’s just how I view it and I know others have their own opinions.
Truly a talented beautiful cast and the story never slowed down. You can tell the whole staff and cast put their all into this sports drama. I keep re-watching all the competition scenes. They're amazing and well filmed!
Well, i just finished binging this whole thing in 3 days and I gotta say that was of lot of fun!:) I was angry, thrilled, and very entertained in pretty much every single episode so to me, no matter how bad the script is, it’s a winner if you consistently entertain me. The pace wasn’t slow because the love triangle was like a side story and the main focus was solving back to back murders and finding this stupid pearl (which i thought we would never find tbh). I disagree with the previous comments about the FL. I was pulled in initially because of her expressive acting when I saw the 1st episode on YT. I kept thinking that the whole cast was really well chosen but i personally felt that the script was lazy towards the end. Tbh I’d probably watch season 2 if they actually do that, but only for the same cast. This was my first time seeing a period murder mystery drama like this so now i’m on the hunt for similar ones!
As a former student who would start hallucinating after staying up late, i related to this movie on deep level. Haha but i really like how simple the story was so i was able to concentrate on the characters and their relationships
super cute movie! kinda fast paced but simple and easy to watch. does anyone know what the words say on the wall at the end next to the drawing of the astronaut?
