Chinese people seem more open to the supernatural, believing in love amulets, reincarnation so that could be the reason. Also, the FL is a writer, so this kind of stuff might not be so surprising, she must believe in uncoventional stuff.

This could be the "censorhip ending", as I call it. The one I generally ignore.

Exactly the same for me, better ignore the "censorship ending" and focus on the intended ending the writers couldn't provide but made obvious in so many episodes.

There is a republican era part? I had theorized that Chi Yu had been sent to the past when the past actor had been sent to the present but I wasn't sure. But I thought it was him the ML saw running away, during his short time travel to the 30's.

But if there IS a past era in the drama, then it changes my theory. Who will stay where? although to pass censorship, I doubt the past actor wills tay in the present, and the present actor into the past, because it could change the entire history if he did, knowing what he did.

Do you think the female in the past is the female lead from the present who traveled to the past, too?

Yeah, that's because of censorship. The trick is to ignore the "official ending" (generally a few scenes near the end) and to focus on the entire drama and the logical ending (even if supernatural) the writers intended to write but couldn't because of censorship.

It depends on your taste. If you like serious dramas with strong badass women, this is not the drama for you. If you like pure sci-fi, this isn't either. If you like light, fun dramas, then give it a try. I've never been a fan of HYT, I have seen him in varous dramas and he never made an impact on me and I don't find him handsome. Just not my kind of guy.

BUT I have to admit that here, he MAKES the drama. The FL is childish (I think based on the pictures in the opening sequence that she will grow and be more adult), but HYT is doing a good job here. His character is interesting and mysterious. Therer's also a mystery within the show, on top of romance and funny moments so for me, it's a good one to watch because it's the kind of fun, entertaining dramas that I like.

But we all have different tastes, what I enjoy might not be your cup of tea.

The FL said that there were no member of her family who looked like her. She could be rwrong bu so far, it is the information that we, viewers, have. Also, the shooter (the FL from the present?) was in shock at what she did, and crying so she must have loved the actor but he didn't know her. So I lean more towards the FL traveling back to the past: the actor has to be shot to travel to the future to meet her, which would mean a time loop.

Apparently, another poster here dais that near the end, there will be a scene in an hopstial. What if it's the present ML and he doesn't remember anything?

I think the two male leads switched places, the one from the present was sent to the past and vice versa. Maybe he is the guy the past ML saw running away when he tried his first time traveling back experience, in episode 3.

Second post with spoilers:

- Am I the only one who thinks that Chin Yu is Quin Yu's reincarnation? It's too weird how alike they are!

- Also, am I the only one who thinks that they switched places? Chin Yu was sent to the past and Quin Yu to the future? And that it's Chin Yu that Quin Yu saw in this short travel (in ep 3) to the past, the one he tried to run after?

- The FL is the one who shot the ML in the past. Therefore, she will also travel to the past to shoot him because he needs to be shot to travel to the future, kind of like a time loop,

- how will it end? the present ML has loving parents, would he abandon them to stay in the pas? If he is the reincarnation of the past ML, it would be too weird so I assume that the ML from the past will go back to his timeline and the history books will be changed: he didn't mysteriously vanished, he was injured and either died, or recovered and led a private life,

- Meaning angst for the FL because she will fall in love with past ML and be separated from him by decades, and maybe a new love story with the present ML, who might remember his past incaranation, or not, who knows?

I'm really loving this drama. I'm sad it's not well received so far. But it won't prevent me from watching it.

Okay, I'm on episode 3 and I love it! Yes, the FL is childish but judging by the opening sequence where she is dressed more like an adult woman, I think she will mature.

There's humor in this drama, this is NOT a serious drama even if there's a serious storyline (I'll post another post with spoilers below this one) so expect some lightness in this one. Which is a welcome change IMO.

I think some won't like the FL, she is, as I said, childish and greedy. I think she grew up very poor, hence the reason why she is obsessed with money. She is what I would call a lovely idiot. But I truly believe that angst near the end will be coming and she will suffer and mature.

I can't believe that some actors have to sign a no dating contract. For god's sake, actors and actresses are human beings, they can fall in love, they have needs, they need conection, this is so cruel and unfair to force them to be celibate.

In this case, we are talking about an adult man being forbidden to date. Not a teenager but a grown up person. Can you believe it? That's insane!

Xing Fei has two dramas airing right now, so she must be trendy, can't the channel or whoever owns the right decide to air this one, counting on Xing Fei's popularity to counter-balance XKC's scandal?

About his scandal, how are things going right now for him? Is it still a scandal or has this scandal already been replaced by another one and it's already forgotten? It's like ther are scandals after scandals in China right now with actors, and cheating is not as serious as DV or tax evasion.

Hospital? hmm, what about, the past ML died and his soul traveled to his future reincarnation and once he had solved his murder mystery, he left and his present reincarnation ends up in hospital, not remembering anything from the past months?

Once he wakes up, he has no idea who the FL is and bam, angst. Then he starts, little by little, to remember.

Or if could be, as you said, the FL dreaming the whole story. She saw this guy in the street, found him handsome, she got into an accident, went into a coma and invented a story with the handsome guy she saw in the street as the hero.

I personallydon't mind spoilers, so if you want to spoil me, no problem. I'm aware about censorship when it comes to TT, so I already have an idea how it could end, especially with the reincarnation tag (like, the hero didn't really time travel but died, was reincarnated and it's his conscience, or soul from the past who traveled and occupied his present body who doesn't realize it or doesn't remember it).

I could be wrong but I expect some kind of last minute twist so that the drama passed censorship.

They are both human beings with flaws. If we can only watch dramas or listen to music by perfect human beings, then we wouldn't be watching any dramas at all, same with music. As long as artists aren't violent, rapists, murderers, or pedophiles

The difference between the two, IMO, is that he cheated on her (or not, weren't they broken up with they split up?).Anyway, he drank at a party, got drunk, slept with another girl, regretted it, confessed to the girll he still loved and they got back together.

Except that she recorded when he confessed sleeping with another girl when they were broken up.

He hurt her because she still loved him. I get that. He hurt her. But she did something worse IMO: she recorded him, kept the recording, got back with him and when they broke up again, she used that rercording to destroy his career (because a scandal in China can very much desroy a career). So she was back with him while at the same time keeping that recording. Charming person. Very trustworthy.

She KNEW that. She did it intentionally. And she didn't care that she was destroying the hard work of crews, other actors, companies which might go bankrupt because the dramas they shot with him will be cancelled, resulting in some of those companies to fire people to just survive.

So the game of "who's worse"? yeah, he is probably not a good guy but he didn't do anything illegal or out of malice. Weakness maybe, but not malice. What she did? Was planned, out of revenge and with not single care about the lives, works and companies she could destroy in the process.

She shouldn't have recorded him or gotten back with him the first time. He might have a bad reputation but same with her. Who will trust her, at work or in private? Everybody will be wary of her because she can't be trusted. People, whether in the spotlight or not, don't appreciate not having privacy.

And no I'm not a fan, I have have only seen him in one drama, thought he was good in it, nothing more, nothing less and didn't feel like checking his other dramas. And I learned of this scandal because I am a Xing Fei fan and was checking on updates for "Love is an accident".

It's incredible that the netizens are trying to cancel a man over this. It's a private situation which should have stayed private.

I don't get how it's possible for netizens to have that much hatred in them and that much power. Great dramas could be shelved for good, producers could lose their companies and money, actors, crews worked hard for months on some of these dramas and this could all go to waste because the main actor cheated (or not? hard to tell, with all those break ups/reconciliations).

What's weird is that even if he did cheat on her, it's not a good thing to do, of course. But it's also NOT a good thing to record a private conversation and then to throw it on the net to destroy a guy's career.

Right now, both of them don't appear under a good light. But it's not a reason to cancel them, and yes, I include the actress he was involved with. She shouldn't have done what she did but there shouldn't be consequences such as being cancelled. That goes for both of them.

Xu Kai Cheng is not popular enough for this to keep trending, which is a good thing. Maybe his dramas won't be put on the shelf.

Cheating (or not) is not a reason for being cancelled, or losing his career. Also, she recorded a private conversation and then threw it out to the public? Don't tell me she didn't know it would cause a scandal and could cause him to lose his career, considering how it takes very little to rile up the chinese netizens.

It takes two to tango. We are not privy to their complicated relationship but that's not a reason for trying to destroy an ex-partner's career.

I'm so out of the loop that I didn't realize that it was Mo Wan who had killed the lawyer ! I thought it was X. And I didn't understand how Situ understood in the end that Mo Wan worked for the Oracle. Can anyone clue me in?

Still, open ending, nice drama and I hope there will be a sequel.

Okay, maybe there will be a sequel? The ending was kind of... a not ending. Not a cliffhanger, but not a neat little ending.

I suspected the journalist, close to the heroes, knowing all their cases, appreciating the ML... and also because he wasn't a character in the Hercule Poirot books so I thought that him being added was for a good reason: being the villain.

But I have to admit that I also suspected the two FLs, but mainly Jing Xuan. Because I remembered that Hercule Poirot episode, where they are all stuck in an hotel and there was a mother/daughter present and I think the daughter was the murderer, which caused great pain to HP. So I thought, "it's her, it will cause pain to one of the main leads, LSC".

Mowan was on my radar, but rather far away on my radar. I only started suspecting her in the last episode but she wasn't my main suspect. I hope she is a double agent who has infiltrated the Oracle organisation. And that it will be revealed in a sequel, if there is one. But so far, it will be my head canon. She sounded like an intelligent, capable woman so I don't really want her to be a villain, even if women can be villains, of course.

Is that a remake of the Kdrama "Faith"? Any news about a possible airing date?
