Based on the previous loops before episode 7, in ep 3 Mo Yuanzhi's wife Yu Shiya collapsed and fainted at seeing his body. Miss third-largest-shareholder was teary (I have not yet ruled her out). Han Yu Fei did not appear to have any reaction to Mo Yuanzhi's death. Han Yu Fei has ultimately encouraged Miss third-largest-shareholder to support Mo Yuanzhi, and persuaded Yu Shiya to vote against Mo Yuanzhi. Of course, everything he has said this far to each of them is nothing to suspect.

You're right that in episode 4, Ding Qi said the line to Professor You, and Professor You remembered this "in a dream", then came to a different conclusion for his goals in another loop, to take the drastic actions he did in episode 7. Squid should be able to have the same effect on people by interacting and also talking to them.

At least in "Beloved", I had a somewhat concrete guess by the end of episode 11 as to who was responsible. I will need to see episode 8 and 9, for any guesswork to be viable.

Thank you for the link! I've taken a look, and it is promising. As an IQiyi VIP member, I should be able to watch all the episodes there. Will start after Mobius. This Director is definitely making my drama-watching easier.

Song Jia Teng was also in "Always On The Move" with Bai Jingting. The contrast in their interactions for both dramas is interesting XD

"Mobius" is making my braincells work harder than the recent Light-On drama "Beloved". If you like crime thrillers with a strong psychological bend and strong human interest angle, check that out.

Near the end of episode 7, when Professor You speaks of someone saying to him in a dream "A life for a life, is it worth it?".... Feels like an important clue to the time loop individual whom Ding Qi is trying to identify and catch. I think another character said this in the previous 6 episodes, but I can't be sure.

The team in ep 7 is adorable, as they try to figure out Ding Qi's ability enabling them to solve cases. Also smiling (then cracking up) at the subtly sweet moments which can include comedy between Ding Qi and An Lan (such as when she asks him in Cantonese why he's here in the lab, and he answers XD)

Something feels very off about Han Yu Fei (to me), the so-called playboy who is much sharper than he appears. In Ep 4 at 10:00 when he is talking to his deceased father, it should all be straightforward in terms of what has been presented as him believing his father was murdered by the unknown identity know as Squid, and him wanting to catch his father's murderer. I have to question why this moment is in the drama. But right now, I cannot figure it out. Does Squid know Mo Yuanzhi's wife?

Episodes 8 and 9 are going to be terrific. How is this drama only 16 episodes?!

Episode 7 thoughts:

Thank you for the summary and details. I don't do romance-first dramas, so The First Frost is something I'll consider for another time. I'm the kind who reckons the Screenwriter and Director are as important as the cast.

I've watched a fair number of Jackie Chan's older films, Jet Li's older films and my favourite HK time period for films was the late 80s to the 90s. I enjoyed the recent IQiyi Light On drama "Beloved", a welcome change from "This Thriving Land" which I also enjoyed but TTL was more bleak.

The two historicals or Always On The Move sounds good. I think I'll go with Always On The Move first.

It is very cool. This Director should have helped to co-direct "The Shadow's Edge", which I watched in the cinema. He would definitely improve the story bloat and camerawork for the action choreography.

Once you add the right music and captions, Loop 5 of the bank heist in episode 1 will never stop being funny: https://m.weibo.cn/status/5210103649144512

Any recommendations on what drama of his I can watch, after Mobius?

Did you watch "The Shadow's Edge" in the cinema? It was a high-octane tech-savvy crime thriller weaving in a visual love letter to Macau, and I think the movie could have borrowed a leaf or two from the director of "Mobius" when it comes to streamlining the story. That said, Jackie Chan and Tony Leung were on fire there.

Thanks for sharing the info. Episode 1 was really nostalgic. Great mix of action and humour while introducing our down-to-earth ML. Love the cantonese and camerawork.

Off-topic: I intend to go and get my preferred instant noodles much later.

That said, if you want a food channel and missing HK, this local's channel in cantonese whereby he wants to share his knowledge and experiences about HK should be up your alley: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHLr-zSjBIU

Yo, waiting for a late-night instant noodles product placement. Wouldn't be out of place. Or maybe it's the fact that I feel like doing that right now XD

I see we're all congregating! Will catch up with all 7 episodes by tomorrow,

The trailer looks fascinating. I shall be happy to watch with you, when it airs~

I saw the stats, and then got a bit worried as to whether this drama will cram too much in the last 4 episodes to try to reach the end of the novel, unless they end episode 12 on a good cliffhanger. Perhaps the forum discussion about the ending might have been a bit premature.

This just appeared on Chosun Daily (English), to help an international audience understand how well Yoon-a has done: https://www.chosun.com/english/kpop-culture-en/2025/09/16/NOLD6AJQFZEOLIKMK23T73WNSE/

[ Thanks to this outstanding performance, ‘Bon Appetit, Your Majesty’ broke the highest viewership rating among tvN dramas aired in 2025 in just four episodes. In the 8th episode, it achieved a national rating of 15.4%, a peak of 17.4%, a capital area rating of 15.8%, and a peak of 18.1% (based on Nielsen Korea), continuing its rapid rise. ]

Some posts are still surviving on weibo about what happened to him and who is involved (others have vanished): https://m.weibo.cn/status/5211142223038262

Expanding on the weibo comment, with this article - https://ent.ifeng.com/c/8mfVC2OVTrO

I'm wondering if they will produce a season 2, or attempt to wrap it all up in this season.

Sorry, been busy with my work, then became appalled and sad with Yu Menglong's death and circumstances.

I hope the character of Xie Huai Gui will be complex enough to leave the older audiences emotionally conflicted about him. Seems to indicate so, from this post by the official KTTPH weibo page wishing Peter Ho Happy Birthday while giving insight into Peter Ho's character: https://m.weibo.cn/detail/5210354587796692

Thanks for the efforts!
