AAAAA It finally ended! I'll miss my parents, YWY and XHD. 🥹 Everything turned out so well, thanks to the cast and crew of this excellent drama! The only thing I'm concerned about was that they weren't able to show if Cen Jintian was given a proper goodbye like what they did for Wang Zhao. But I'd like to think they did, since from the start, they always remembered every person who who were good to them. Overall, it was a really good wrap! YWY and XHD were able to have more happy moments before their story in the book concluded, and even though they met in the subway only for a short moment, it didn't take away the happiness this show made the viewers feel in the end. It was a great roller-coaster ride with this drama!

I can't agree more! It feels like every detail was carefully considered, and I'm more than happy to see that everything went well.

What do you mean today is the last day this drama airs??? No, I'm not yet ready to say goodbye to our CEO Dan and Wan Yin. 😭😭😭

Watched this in the cinemas today. The main leads' acting were so good as usual, but the story is typical so there's nothing really refreshing for me. I still did enjoy it, though. 7.5/10.

Real. The story is non-linear, the pacing is kinda messy and the storytelling isn't clear—though we still somehow understand half part of the story.

It only made sense, to be honest. She had always been an emphatic person, and that side of her had been shown multiple times. Not going there would be out of character, considering she doesn't see those ministers as merely 2D characters—they're people whom she shared a bond with. It's not that she didn't listen or think, it's because she cares more than anything. She cares for the person who unjustly died, and not going to the funeral will be "disrespecting" the deceased. Also, as she said, she didn't thought it will be THAT dangerous (and I think it's because since Prince Duan is hiding that time, so she might've thought he won't just pop out of nowhere, and besides, she has skilled personal guards coming with her).

Saying "especially" FLs was quite harsh, ngl... I know you might have not purposely look down on FLs, but saying that means looking down on females in general. It's always women who people are pissed off about, but when a ML or any male (especially a handsome one) did the same thing, barely anyone says anything.

This petty ED is such an ingrate. XHD shouldn't have bothered to save her, like we honestly wouldn't mind. 💀

I've only seen two of Hu Yi Xuan's dramas, though I wasn't able to finish both. But I dare say her portrayal of XYE stands out more among them so far. Her excellent microexpressions conveyed what her character really feels, I can't help but symphatize with her and root for her. She deserves recognition too!

If these 2D characters act based on the book's plot, how did A Bai's Master found out that YWY and XHD are from different dimensions?

I know that the solid thing about the novel was how the characters are described—they all stay true to their personalities, so the series of events can change but their aspirations remain the same. As for the Master, I'm wondering why he performed a divination to both XHD and YWY in the first place and how did he find out they are not from their world, when his course of actions are somehow predestined? Being the best in divination in the book is one thing and being able to do a real divination while following the book's plot is another thing. Is this also what XYE calls Butterfly Effect? Does the novel's plot move according to a character's own wishes while unknowingly rewriting their fate? AAAAA

I can't wait 'til the story unfolds! Hopefully, there will be no plot holes and the questions in our minds will soon be answered.

My only question is, why did the ML actually transmigrated 15 years ago and how was he stucked in the novel for THAT long? Does the time in the real world stop as they transmigrated in the book, or does both time run but the novel's is faster? Is the time in the real world still the same as when they both transmigrated to when they will go back?

Also, didn't he ever try to think of the possibility that "death" in the novel might bring him back to his own world? Or hasn't he ever thought of that before? Or he already thought of those but chose to stay for the "greater good"?

They changed the outro from an animation to actual scenes in the drama! Looks like I won't be able to skip the outro now—I prefer it this way.

Poor young XHD, Zhang San, he must have been so traumatized. His whole body trembled with eyes shaking, witnessing everything at such a young age. My heart sank as I saw how scared and helpless he was—experiencing real pain and emotional turmoil despite being fully aware that he was "just" in a novel. 😭😭😭

What do you mean that her character development is 2D? Because so far, her character when she first transmigrated in the book was still the same as it was until now. We also saw more to her character, especially her emphatic and humane side, and I don't think those characteristics can be described as 2D.

I've put the dramas I'm currently watching on hold for this drama. I'm patiently waiting for the next episodes!!!

Zhang Ling He and Wang Chu Ran in the republic era!?!? They will surely look stunning together! I'm waiting for this. <3

okii, that was comforting to hear. thank you!

Maybe you'll get hooked at Ep6. But if it's already Ep8 and you still can't get hooked, you may consider dropping or not. This might not be for you, which of course is totally fine. 😊

lowkenuinely 😭 imma also use that from now on

Initially, I've also thought of that. Then, I realized that that time, even though there is a possibility that all four might be transmigrators, there is still a conflict of interest with the characters they're playing. ML and FL confessing to the other two (the main leads of the novel) was like walking straight into the fiery pit, since their characters in the novel are hating each other. Thus, making sure of their identities and having similar interests comes first.

Since the FL got to know the ML first, and she also know that the ML is also just supporting character who has a tragic fate, she put her bet to him and believed they can really work together to survive. But the other two is different, and you'll find out in the next episodes why.

I think so too because of the bridge scene.
