Lauren-B

The barista guy is working with someone called Lee Sae-Ri (who we haven't seen yet) as she has been threatening Ha Neul (for reasons unknown) with the red letters. Jeong Han caused the recent accident and came clean to the police as he fell for Ha Neul.

Sae Byeok is still very unknown at this point and what his involvement is with anything. They broke up at some point for X reason which may or may not have something to do with Sae Byeok's dads passing 4 years earlier. He's harbouring a secret about something (which was made apparent when he was talking to his manager in the car), but no one knows what.

Unless Sae Byeok was lying .. he said that his dad passed away 4 year prior to the story so i don't think that the breaking up could be to do with that unless there was a situation which unfolded recently about it that could have led to the break-up.

Nothing is really connecting yet. Hopefully it will be covered in the last 2 episodes.

It's totally taken off! Shes a busy lady

No way. Have you seen how much recognition EAW got and how many awards? She would be stupid to not do a S2 despite her busy schedule. A S2 would have been filmed straight away if it was for KTO military service.

realistic 😂😂😂😂😂😂 neither are realistic. The genre of ‘deaths games’ is the same and thus they can be compared. I did enjoy squid games but I think the AIB was better executed.

S3 was mediocre, S2 was OK, S1 was epic but all in all .... none of them beat Alice in Borderland ... FACT!

I've just finished this and i thought the same. They had 12 episodes of next to no storyline. No university progression, no friend relationships, no parents meet ups, a weird mother that fizzled out. I loved the cute moments but over all what. P.S. the couple that played Ai's parents aren't really actors although i loved Jaonan. I think they were almost cameo parts as they are famous youtubers IRL hence why they didn't get as much screen time.

I wrote a massive replied then clicked cancel instead of post!!

The shortened version of what i wrote before is ...

The police got notified about the forged papers when DoHoe rang the police over the child abuse. The mother has already started suing him after she found out about the papers as she was ticked off about her confrontation with DoHoe regarding the abuse.

He didn't live with Hyeon Ho. Hyeon ho stayed with him because he had feelings for DoHoe and wanted to be near him but they never lived together. Hyeon Ho just treated it like his own place as they were friends.

Hyeon Ho is a lawyer. Ju Yeong went to the office after he found out that they were keeping something from him. The phone call that Hyeon Ho made to DoHoe that got intercepted by Ju Yeong ticked him off.

I can try is if you still have questions

You posted this 5 days ago so hoping that you have watched ep.7 as alot of what your wanting is explained in that episode.

If you haven't, a quick explanation. Da Hoe went to prison as he forged documents saying that he graduated college when he did not. He couldn't get accepted as he had poor maths grades. The probation just comes after a prisons sentence to keep tabs on what they are doing after being behind bars (we never actually saw the part that he went to prison but can assume that he did his time.) He was a english tutor as his English was phenomenal.

Anyone know who the ghost was at the very end .. when she went into the house? Just seemed a bit random to not be relevant to the story. Also no clean up in Luck's family and why they went missing. No point to that character and storyline at all.

They did do a flashback of how Kang Ju came to be Zhi Jing's aide and how he broke his leg etc. It took nearly a whole episode.

You can almost see the moment from when he changes from being ok with dying to wanting to stay alive. Liu Yu Ning played an awesome part in this drama.

I love chinese period dramas. This one has a good story line so hooked me but there were a few things:
1) I really don't think Lu Si really suited this role. I love her as an actress and have pretty much seen all her dramas but this one didn't do her justice at all. I felt awkward in the more demure scenes like she was having to hold back massively. The easy stuff as a pearl diver was perfect for her just not the second half.
2) The ending. Now i'm not complaining that it wasn't as the viewer had hoped and that he would suddenly be cured and live happily ever after, i just wish for a more clear cut ending. A final scene asking him not to leave and then nothing ever mentioned again.
Chinese drama endings are currently really naff. This is the second one now after Kill me, love me and i personally don't think this type of ambiguity for the endings makes good viewership.

It was meant to be a pair for that statue. Do you really think it could be a cure for the poison? i'm not too sure. The fact that all mention about the blood pearl has ceased since they left the dessert (i'm on ep 25 btw), then i think its clutching at straws.

I do think there will be some kind of breakthrough ... for instance Duanwu gets kidnapped and taken to the lair and there she finds the antidote. Sure it will be hard for her to obtain though.

Agree. Fu Zhou already knows who she is and totally holds a candle for her. Who knows how they are going to play it out but which ever it is, they are destined to meet in the real world and become a couple.

She will eventually. Once the percentage hits 100% and she conquers the story. That 1% seems quite hard to get so possibly a (she gets hurt and he kicks ass to save her and as she's close to dying the 1% happens) - i dunno just guessing at that seems to be the way it always goes in these types of stories.

Why do i get the feeling that Liu Niang is the true villain in all of this and not Mu Rong'er?
I thought that the author was going to be Zi Qi from the start - typical troupe for this type of story. It's been done before in another one when the FL goes back to reality and then suddenly bumps into the author who has a resemblance to the ML in the book - the end.

People have said that it hasn't followed the book. She may have died in that scene and yet she may not of. No one actually knows what the writers were thinking. A very messy ending in my opinion which doesn't explain anything. Think they should have made other parts shorter to at least make the ending make sense.

What happened to the poison inside Jinghe? He took the poison to check for antidotes and was ill with it a few times. Never did they say that the poison for him was neutralised. Mei Lin died due to the poisons mere months after exposure and yet he lived at least 20 more. Chronologically its hard to tell how many years as it just says 29 years after the last emperor took the throne and then abdicated but i don't remember them saying how long he has been on the throne at that point, plus another 10 years as Jinghe as the emperor. And they he just randomly dies? The ended just doesn't make sense. Anyone read the book and can shed some light? I know it doesn't follow entirely but might shed some light.
