have not read the novel but GUARANTEEEE he's falling for her
just by the way he looks at her
although it is possible that he's just amused or curious (but hey, that's the first step)
and honestly I have full trust in these actors...they really be hittin the points
ep 6 had a seen where ML was waking up from crouching over (falling asleep at the base) and I swear he had a crusty in his eye HAHAH (joking, but I could imagine)

I think he loops her in honestly bc she's a good student. She's not the top scorer but she's pretty smart and she works hard. She's been spending a lot of time learning coding with Gao JianHong. And Gao JianHong didn't really know coding before the class either and he's on the team.

hmmm who knows...maybe they're just out of contact (...I mean FL went abroad)

totally agree!
I definitely didn't appreciate her in those first eps making the FL do everything even though Fang ShuMiao is the one who signed up for the responsibility of class monitor
but I think that's what her personality is (there are a lot of people like that): selfish, self-serving, making others do what they don't want to do; but at the end of the day, I still think she's a decently loyal friend (not a backstabber)
wouldn't be surprised if she does something stupid later on that unintentionally hurts FL though...its that kinda vibe

yah...Fang ShuMiao says it in ep 6

hmmmm maybe a positive ending according to this vid:

but who knows....they might've just made it based on the book and we don't know how closely it follows the book
I'm optimistic though 🥹

I want to know tooooo 😭😭
I only just now saw this trailer version and idkkkk

I think I can just barely live with this < 2 wk drop (not too long like a month)
I think I would've had to ditch work if this dropped in one go

whoaa
excited for what's to come then!

I WAS ABOUT TO COMMENT THE SAME THING. only saw ep 1 so far
i thought this was gonna be a fluff school drama
but also the production looks pretty legit...will it match how legit the storyline will be? we'll see. I haven't read the novel

SHOOK this is finally airing!!

yah it doesn't make a whole lot of sense that he left her the evidence and she's still falsely accusing him like that
tbh I feel like they're just trying to feed the trope
the misunderstanding doesn't go too far though

hmm skimming through is not too bad...
just a very mediocre modern rom com

I just saw AvenueX's review on this and I totally agree!! (with a grain of salt...I like 80% sugar and 20% broken glass ratio...not a big fan of extreme heart-wrenching moments)
so y'all should check it out if you're still deciding whether or not to watch

yup! the real ending only kicks in after the ripple FX (after her and ML area walking with the kid back from a signing event and after she explains that he is a professor) so I think the ending of the book doesn't really logically make sense/align with a realistic timeline

if she were to explain all of this *after* the real ending kicks in, I think it would make sense. We know that ML is a professor (but if they had a kid in reality and second CP got married in reality; but no kid, and no 2nd CP marrying in the book) then, it would make sense bc there's a disconnect between the book and reality)

just that w/in the book timeline, having her go from just getting married and publishing the book to:
having a few-yr-old kid, 2nd CP already married w/kid, ML already a full professor, AND a book signing which make is it look like the book was released just a bit ago (not years ago before pregnancy)
it just doesn't make a whole lot of sense
it *would* make sense, if the book signing was for her *second* book (like a sequel) but the book cover is the same so it doesn't add up

hmmm now that I'm thinking of it...*maybe* it could've been a special edition release of the book...a few years after the first drop...then it couldv'e made sense

I'm definitely overthinking it...but just in the spirit of discussion I'm being picky

hmm I liked that ending
I feel like its even more unrealistic to just have that as the story.
I think the story is strongly based on the author's real story (the emotions and some parts of their history). basically, just imagine the story without her being afraid of fire and him time/book traveling and being able to do martial arts
because XiaoWuDi was based off of MaoXiaoJun in the story (as explained by the fairy), we know that his feelings, ways of thought are practically the same as MaoXiaoJun so we know that their real relationship journey was similar

MXJ likes FL the whole time (childhood sweethearts) but expresses his feelings like "Mr.Bad" and FL thinks that MXJ doesn't like her. But MXJ always wants to protect her. But then they figure out that they mutually like each other and they start a relationship.

rather than thinking of this story as a fantasy that all of a sudden deletes itself from reality, I think we can think of this as a modern romcom told in the eyes of a fantasy

this is so good!! quality acting and production. I also do like the ending...idk why people were hating on the ending (I actually only watched this bc I saw someone's ending spoiler and thought this was an ok end)
I don't exactly like the "pseudo ending" though (iykyk) some things didn't exactly align logically
BUT the real ending is solid so I guess it doesn't matter all that much?

so in addition to how did he got his ID, I also think the timeline doesn't match up...
we know that they get married, then the book gets published, then it shows a scene where they don't have kids and are talking about the book being promoted
then all of a sudden, first *and* second CP have kids about the same age (maybe a couple years old) but then she's going to a book signing where she gifts her boss a book...but in reality, that book dropped a few years ago?? it doesn't make a whole lot of sense

and ML is now a professor at a uni...before, he was explaining how he needs to take the gaokao, then get into uni...and to be a professor, he needs a PhD. It might be possible, but timeline is a bit tight. If he takes the gaokao, then speeds through undergrad (taking summer classes and overloading all semesters), maybe he can finish in 2 yrs. And he can jump straight into a PhD, maybe he can speed through in 1 or 2 yrs? idk, seems really tight. Some people take 5-6 yrs doing a PhD, depending on their major. and I'm not even mentioning the time needed to work your way up from Assistant Professor to full Professor

but all that being said, we as an audience can glaze over it because the last few mins explain that it's just in the book (and the real ending is what they want us to care about)

I was thinking about this too...I'm not entirely sure (and no, I'm not talking about the last 2 min...that's an easy answer)
I have to think the only way is with photoshop (like how he tried to PS his birth certificate earlier HAHAHAH) or I think the fairy probs gave it to him bc he knew that this time was going to be long-term
ngl...a lot of the end of that story doesn't really make sense (I'll comment below)

on ep 8. I think it is good!! quality production and acting. every ep has me smiling
storyline is aight as well.

this FL is giving me Miranda Cosgrove vibes??
this drama is so quick....there's literally a full 360 rotation going on LOLL but it's so short I don't feel like I wasted that much time
