I see. The summary above is a bit misleading for those who are looking for what you mentioned since the game doesn't really progress in parallel to real life- just that Xiu switches between avatars so she plays different characters. The Mayor's death is irrelevant 😅🙈

True. Even I was hesitant at first because the gaming concept can get tricky if not handled well.

I found this more balanced.

The game is not the central focus of the drama. It's just how they met and influences the way they behave during the initial episodes. In the latter episodes the game kind of helps them navigate with life 🙈

It's a side gig for the ML and his bestfriend handles the management side.

Poor Sun...🙈

Awesome :)

That's one way to look at it 🤣

It's still quite bad 🙈

I haven't seen Subway in a long time and the skin care roller product is not promoted much either but PPA in general is still quite active.

Probably ep 26 since ep 27 onwards it covers the aftermath of the discovery / ep 28 was pretty much an epilogue episode.

If it's not on 26, check 25. It was in one of these episodes.

Yes, the subs used for LBL in my site was pretty badly timed too. It was too fast/ non existent.
Hopefully they'll fix it eventually. The issue wasn't really there in the last few episodes.

In the corporate world, they are practically married if it helps.

They have too many "collaboration/ partnership" contracts...if anything goes wrong (hopefully not since they are so perfect for eachother!), the process would be like a divorce of sort 😅

They don't drag it since the FL is very vocal.

Honestly it doesn't even feel like a breakup- more like a breather since they are able to clear it pretty quickly/ most of the breakup essentially covers how the FL tries to sort through her feelings- she's trapped between her love for the ML whose only mistake was keeping too many secrets from her when she told him not to do it anymore vs. being a filial daughter.

Sure :)

Do you mean VR for the project or the game?

For the project, if I remember correctly, they will be using VR to give Lyman's customers a similar immersive experience like in Rongchang city but with a choice of decades.

With the game, my understanding is that it's a real escape room type of game setup. That's why the gaming location sets, props, food, and even fake snow are real.

The VR set is used for special effects like with the whole sequence with the ghosts and additional snow effect. VR is used here to enhance the gamer's experience. Even in ep 1, the fancy opening for the game was just a special effect to make the game feel more otherworldly instead of feeling like you are entering a new room. They might have sound effects too but honestly I can't recall now what kind of headset they use 🙈

There is a minor plothole when you consider the cctv footage/ leaked video since they didn't add the headsets in any of these bits but honestly it's not worth fretting over - i didn't even notice it until I saw the comments🙈

(Oops sorry - didn't realize my response was so long!)

Probably available in China to a certain extent. I've seen some tourism related reels where they have some pretty insane events and the cosplay looks so amazing.

Or perhaps may be if an entity like TeamLab Japan collaborates with a high end escape room?

His screentime with the FL is pretty low and the FL is pretty no-nonsense so she politely draws a line from the beginning.

Once she realizes just how slimey he is, she kicks him out of her life. We don't even get the mandotary "farewell" conversation SMLs usually get with FLs in the final arc.

Inspiration for a project bid. The key figure spearheading the project is somebody who has an emotional attachment to a lane similar to where the FL lives. So the ML decides to live there for 3 months in order to get a full immersive experience that can influence his bid design.

It's also kind of a nod towards the drama's corporate theme/ the ML's late father's influence - buildings should have a soul. This is the reason why the ML's bid was able to win over established giants like the SML's company.

C'est la vie unfortunately.

I'm rather antisocial so I tend to use work as an excuse to get out of certain family excurssions -in my defence the parental units usually spring their plans on me last minute so even if I wanted to go, it's difficult to get leave.

My dad now thinks I'm a workaholic working at a soul crushing company so he often suggests quitting it...he'll even find me an alternate job 🙈

Ah you don't watch a lot of mainstream Kdramas I guess.

Kdramas are notorious for PPA. Kopiko is the worst since even during an extremely serious/ melancholy scene, sometimes they dare to use Kopiko as a way to "energize" the character (it's a caffein candy).

I almost wish if Sun did open the cake box at the end. To realize how close he was at getting fired for constantly ruining Xiao's moments 🙈

Miss Zhou probably already knows based on some of her actions in the latter half of the drama.

Guess it might be due to cultural influence as well in HX's mum's case? Family comes first over anything. I actually was surprised she didn't attack Xiao at the hospital when she saw him.

With Xiao's mum, I really couldn't deal with how naive she was. Glad that at least she didn't need a lot of convincing once she started to see the whole picture (compared to some drama mums who would rather be in denial forever).

True! That's so sweet and considerate of him

Probably right after they did the costume reveal, it might have seemed obvious perhaps? Idk how it works but seeing how experienced the cast is, they probably can visualize it better 🙈
