Guys, did you watch the preview of ep16,17?? , Just wtf was that 😭😭, How could she do that🥲?
Can you link where the previews are posted? Or can you post in a spoiler tag what happens, please? Never mind, oh damn it! I wonder if the fans posting here will go from hating the ML to hating the FL? Because, damn.
It's an interesting theory. But in episode 1, Mr Xu asks the FL:- if she likes herself in "this world" (the 2025…
That's my theory as well. Whatever experiment is going on, whether the FL was on board or not, the ML is derailing the experiment. Meaning that within the organisation in charge of the experiment, there's a mole, or a traitor, maybe Mr Xu? He sent her... to the ML, after all (the ML's strange phone activated when the FL landed in 2018). Maybe he wanted to save her?
So, Imma take a guess and say that the 2018 reality they are in right now is a simulation. FL in 2025 got into…
It's an interesting theory. But in episode 1, Mr Xu asks the FL:
- if she likes herself in "this world" (the 2025 one)
- If she likes to live in "this world",
- to think, when she has free time, about why she came to this world the first time for a visit,
That seems to indicate that this world, 2025, is the Matrix one. Also, in 2025, she mentions her father more than once, she calls him, texts him but we never see him. And her texts when her frenemy vanishes? Mr Xu is the one receiving them, not her father. So she calls and texts her father's phone, but Mr Xu is the one receiving them.
Is there a father in this 2025 world? Maybe the FL has been programed to believe her father is alive but busy and indifferent and that's why she never sees him.
What if Mr Xu is the one who kicked her out of the Matrix? After all, he sent her at the right place, the right time, to have that accident that sent her to the 2018 world. Is Mr Xu the virus, or the ML? Maybe the ML is an innocent accomplice of virus Mr Xu?
Of course, there could be a twist and it's the ML who is in a coma, not the FL. But coma is probably involved because it's a Cdrama and when there's time travel, there's almost always a coma story involved.
I also didn't understand this, if ML's friend has shifted to another universe, then how is that possible that…
If there is really time travel/parallel world travel, it's possible that the ML's friend is not from the ML's universe. If he is from another universe and stayed for a few months, it explains why the ML and his friends can't find anything about him, pics, school records, college records, police records... nothing.
After all, it's possible that in this world, Mr Xu (the ML's friend who disappeared) was from World A, but there was no Mr Xu in World B (the ML's world).
Just a theory. I tend to think it's an experiment more than real travels between universes. But we'll see.
Ouch, this is getting complicated. Yes, as some said, the exes are back. BUT... It looks like they are part of the experiment. At least, the FL's ex-boyfriend is. Wait and see until the next episode for the ex-best friend.
The ex-boyfriend's mission is to bring the FL back. Where? in her technological coffin?
If so, did she escape? Or was there an accident, like... the car accident was in fact the coffin with the FL inside transported to another place, there was an accident, the truck containing her fell off the bridge and she survived that accident but her brain was damaged and she couldn't remember being part of the experiment?
Now the company doing that Matrix experiment wants her back. Why don't they abduct her? It's not as if they don't know where she is. She is living under her own identity, she is doing make up ads on social medias, it's easy to find her.
Interesting that the ML is described twice as a virus. Meaning, IMO, that he is not part of the experiment but is derailing it.
My initial guess was this is like Total Recall virtual reality. Is that what you are thinking? To add if so: maybe…
Time travel in a Cdrama? Huh huh. The only drama I have watched where it was actually time travel was "Love in time" (https://kisskh.at/707133-my-secret-roommate) and even then, it was more on the magical side than the scientific side and there was the FL from the future in a coma.
All this hair saloon thing makes no sense to me. FL was a business woman in the previous world. ML looks rich.…
The simulation theory is one theory. The other is the parallel world/time travel one but China generally doesn't like those dramas so writers usually try to avoid censorship by having their dramas NOT being about time travel/parallel world, in the end.
I think if the simulation theory is the real one, once the FL realizes that, she will have accomplished so much on her own that it will be easier for her to accept that the Matrix world where she was rich was never her real world.
Because in this real world, she made friends, maybe found love, started from having no money once she woke up, to being a cleaner, then a hair stylist, then a make up artist and who knows where she will stop? Maybe she'll end up a succesful business woman on her own.
Ep 11/12 - I think I understand why some people don't like this drama (I still do): it lacks balance.
I explain: the "official story" is that the FL is from a parallel world and wants to go back home. Both she and the ML are followed, there's a mystery, a shady ex-boyfriend, the ML's strange best friend, an organisation which is responsible for the FL's situation...
And it only takes 5/7 minutes out of each episode, out of 40 minutes. The rest is dedicated to the FL's career. I can see why it's important to see her grow from a spoiled rich girl to a confident young woman who managed not only to survive but also to thrive.
But it takes too much screentime. There should be more balance between the mystery/investigation and her career.
Maybe it will change in the future but there are 30 episodes and I think there will be more screentime dedicated to the FL's career. She will probably end up creating her own brand with the teacher (the one with the atrocious fashion style).
Spoiler discussion:
- so, the FL's boyfriend in the B world (or real world, IMO), is the same boyfriend as in the A world (the Matrix world IMO). It's possible that he was already involved in the Matrix Organisation and proposed to his girlfriend to be part of the simulation for money.
What's the goal of this Matrix world, if this is the right theory? I mean, why?
- to create a new virtual game?
- to solve criminality (sending criminals in a Matrix world for life)?
- to sell a new experimental life for the wealthy people?
- to go full Matrix and solve overpopulation by sending people into this fake world where they would live and die, and therefore maybe not consuming services, food, water, energy, public services, infrastructure....
- to learn? If the FL spent 5 years in the Matrix, for her, it was her entire life, aka more than 25 years. And what she "learned" in this universe, she uses once back in her real world. Think about the progresses in science humanity could do if scientists spent a whole life in the Matrix learning in their fields, only to be "awaken" after just 2 years and be able to put into practise in the real world what they learned in the Matrix world?
- Or maybe the technology has advanced enough to create this Matrix world and humans being the way they are, they just want to experiment and see what this new technology is about (generally, it turns out wrong).
I wonder if the FL wasn't supposed to get out of the Matrix sooner but she was so pleased with her new life that she refused and they had to kick her out? -
If you read comments from a few days ago, you could see that the more plausible theory is that there is no time…
If there really is time travel/dimension travel ,then it's possible that his friend was from the same world as the FL (the one where she is rich). Maybe he traveled to the B world (where the FL is poor) and there, he had no double.
He stayed there for a while, became friend with the ML and then went back to his world.
That would explain why there was no record about him: he didn't exist in this world.
Random speculation: Did this idea ever cross someone's mind that there's no such thing as time travel or another…
If you read comments from a few days ago, you could see that the more plausible theory is that there is no time travel or parallel world travel and that there's only one FL. She "vanished" from her world but in fact was part of a scientific experiment where she lived in a new world as if it was her own. Think Matrix with Keanu Reeves.
Why? She had huge medical bills to pay (her grand-mother was sick) and out of the blue, she could pay them all. So it looks like she had a contract with the company making those kind of experiments.
Also, in episode 9, we see that there's an organisation behind the situation, with a modern HQ, a female boss and people working for them who can follow our leads.
Now is she is out the Matrix but she doesn't remember her real world, just the fake one where she was a rich girl.
And if there is really time travel involved, the censorship won't allow it and in the last episode, it will be revealed that it was a dream, or the FL was in a coma, or had traveled into a book, a drama, a comic book, like in many other dramas of the same genre.
Yes probably, I also thought about experiment, it will pass with censorship
I thought the same after watching one of the trailers. It has the advantage of avoid censorship and also to be more original than the other dramas which used the old coma/dream/traveling into a book-novel-movie-comic book-video game...
She could have accepted this experiment for money to pay her grand-mother's medical bill but maybe she forgot about her real world and was sent back forcefully?
Wait and see. So far, the experiment theory and the real parallel world theory are my two favorite ones.
Since there is time travel and parallel world travel involved (at least until the very last episode where the writers will probably go creative to pass by censorship!), do you think Mr Xu traveled back and forth more than once and not just in a parallel world but in time, too?
I mean, in the first world, he gave the FL the phone and told her to be precisely on that bridge, at that precise time. Why? Did he know there would be a portal and she would travel, too? What did he say in the first episode, about her "coming to this world"? It seemed to imply that the FL we saw in the first episode was from the B world but didn't remember? So he gave her the phone and the coordinates of the bridge because he somehow knew about some kind of passage at that right time and she needed to go back home, for some reason?
Episodes 7 and 8 sure got intense, compared to the previous ones. Especially episode 7, my god, that one turned violent and nasty so fast, I was in shock! I really didn't expect that turn of events.
The actress is fantastic, I have to say. I had never seen her in a drama or in a movie before but she appears young and talented.
There's another character with the same last name as the FL, which we haven't seen yet, who is he, her brother, cousin?
