sai

The boy in the flashback can't be the ML bc he looked significantly older than the FL. We know in ep2 that the ML is younger

same, i was hoping they'd both start falling in love in their thirties instead of the whole "i have been in love with you since we were kids". it's cute, but I've been seeing it a lot recently, i want something new

love how both couples are now "love next door" after ep 3

But realistically, there's nothing that could cure him and he only had a few days of life left. I don't think it's possible he's still alive :( but we know that's what LLH wanted in the first place so I'm just going to accept it

I saw a comment say that in the novel, Duobing ended up finding Lianhua, who had turned blind and was losing his memory. He took care of him until he died. I don't know why I'm so sad, we literally knew from the first episode that he was going to die soon and that he was ready to die too. I am so heartbroken

I just finished this, I can't stop crying someone help😭😭 I didn't expect the ending to ruin me this much

I was looking forward to that too, them slowly starting to develop feelings in their thirties instead of the typical repressed childhood crush but it's just the beginning, hopefully things may go a different direction

Yess I was feeling those vibes too

Refusing to watch any content from a country just because you don't like the way they speak is weird point blank

Could you give some good jdrama recs? I only primarily watch k and c dramas, trying to expand

You don't like the sounds of Chinese? That's so weird

I love how through Lianhua and Duobing solving the cases one by one, Lianhua stops becoming as significant in the mystery solving, and Duobing starts to solve more and more on his own. It was so naturally done that it's satisfying to see. I'm only on episode 24, but the difference in the detective work for the "Girls' Mansion" case vs the first two cases is very clear. Duobing has now pieced a lot of things by himself, and the continuous confirming eye contact with Lianhua in this case says it all. He's finally on the same page as him, and finally understands the meaning of new clues from a single glance. There were times when he even caught things that Lianhua did not notice, which is very rare. I think Lianhua's increasing tiredness and weakness is also a factor that comes to play, as he is becoming slightly less sharp with noticing things.

I personally have no problem with it but the majority of this comment section clearly does. For me, as long as there's good casting/acting, even the simplest plot can still be entertaining

From what I've seen, Sohyun tends to play more serious characters. To a point where I started wondering if she picks those kind of characters on purpose or she unknowingly turns them that way. But this character is very bright and carefree and it's refreshing to see this kind of personality being shown through her. The plot may be basic but idc, loving it so far.

The 2FL will probably start falling in love with her other highschool friend or whoever is her love interest, so at that point she won't be very affected by her best friend dating her old crush. Like the other person said, their reunion 10 years later looks more like admiration from past feelings than a genuine crush

Glad to see I'm not the only one here for the characters/lighthearted stuff more than the mystery. Usually I do enjoy a good murder mystery sideplot but this one feels so confusing that at this point I've just shut my brain off at those parts and am just happily enjoying all the silly interactions between everyone lol

their chemistry offscreen is crazy

A lot of the comments are saying how the plot dragged in this week's episodes so I must be in the minority here to say that I actually liked that they focused more on the romance for once. A part of me kind of dreads the investigative stuff because it gets pretty stressful, so I'm not complaining about the plot dragging lol. We have 6 more episodes for that to get solved.

I loved the jealousy scenes a lot, I get people didn't like how the conflict just got dragged for a whole episode but I think it's an opportunity for Jiung to start acknowledging his feelings and also gives space for some longing on both sides. I also finally understand the Ko Won hype now. But team ML all the way.

Good point. I've been watching The Genius and it has a similar ensemble to this one, containing both academic and entertainer players, but their games aren't just academic based, which allows for other skills to shine through. If they want to create a balanced cast for this show, they should incorporate more balanced games, instead of making the majority math focused. Overall I think every casted player should have a skill that can be utilized, even if their main profession is being an entertainer. Not sure how to better word it but in s1, entertainers like Kyungrim and Seungkwan were like sheep following their leader. If this show wants to have lighthearted moments, they should try casting multitalented entertainers (in terms of strategy), especially for a survival based game.

This drama is good but the ML's lack of expressions in practically every scene is very off-putting. Trying to pull through for Jingyi and Yuxiao
