- also, I think it's clear now that it's their consciousness which travels and not their bodies and that's why when the consciousness travels to another world, it jumps into it's double in the parallel world ; and IMO, the Strawberry consciousness takes over their doubles, which are asleep or buried deep while there's this possession,
- the ones being possessed by their doubles don't remember what happened during that time.
Now, what about the consequences of this consciousness traveling? Because from what I gather:
- JJ was the youngest and there doesn't seem to be consequences,
- LZX was older when she was "taken over" by Strawberry LZX. I wondered, at first, why she was a mediocre student when she had won the math olympic and why she was angry (according to her teacher), rebellious and unwilling to study (according to her father). Could this behavior be the result of this possession? not a mental illness but it affected her brain and her personality,
- Strawberry Old Lin and PZ's grand-father: if they were being possessed by their doubles, could it explain why they are sick? Or maybe they were the ones to travel to the parallel world and the older one is when it travels or the longer it stays in the parallel world, the more dangerous it is for the brain?
- if so, then Strawberry PZ can't stay in Cheese world because god knows what consequences they could be. His body is still in strawberry world so maybe he would be in a coma, or catatonic, like his grandfather, a body without a driver,
- Also, if he stays, what happens when there are two consciousnesses inside one body? Does the original consciousness regains power and there's a fight between the two, leading to a mental breakdown, something looking like a personality disorder?
Last but not least, the traveling happens because of the formula on the wall, in this particular place, was it old Lin who wrote it? How does it work eactly?
Some thoughts- writers using world cup results to show us clearly that strawberry world is not our reality. I…
"When PZ said he had mental disease episode I think it was the cheese world PZ that travelled and took his body for the first time."
Yep, exactly. That's what I thought, too. He said that he slept for a long time and when he woke up, there was the pen recorder. I think cheese world PZ took over his body, not for the first time (hence the "mental episode", from a few years back, which was NOT a mental illness), to give Strawberry PZ the recorder and LZX the picture.
I don't know about which PZ loves LZX more. We spent more time with cheese world PZ so far so it's easier to see that he loved LZX while we are still discovering strawberry world PZ and LZX's relationship and past.
Apparently, they both travelled to a parallel world so they will spend more time together, as adults, and will have a more mature relationship d evelopping.
Is this a mystry drama? There's romance tag on viki so i thought it was romance until i saw on mdl. I don't mind…
I have seen 14 episodes so far, I would say there's more romance than in Reset, but that it's not (so far) a romantic drama. There's romance but there's also mystery, mathematics, friendship, illness, a bit of slice of life drama but not a lot. It's a lot of genres.
But the FL has been in love with ML for years and there's developpement between the ML and the FL so maybe there will be more romance in future episodes.
My thoughts after ep 14.....Well i was so so pumped up till ep 10 because the writer layed out our main characters…
My opinion:
1 - The actress isn't that good. I have no idea, this is the first drama I see with her,
2 - This is the direction: the actress was directed to play a tired FL, in that case, why?
3 - the FL is supposed to be that way because life changed her from when she was a child. She liked math but didn't find herself good enough to pursue that interest. She ended up studying another field she wasn't that happy in. She had a boring job. The boy she loved left and never kept in touch. In other words: the FL is supposed to be depressive. This is how we should see her.
Then there was the time travel/parallel world travel right after her father was attacked, left in a coma, and she learned he had Alzheimer. She was sent back to her younger double self and even as an adult in a young body, maybe she got back that spark in Cheese world, because she had friends, a goal (maths and going back to her world) and she understood that she was GOOD at math.
About the chemistry... it's hard to have chemistry when the two main characters seem to be broken by life, somehow. JJ is a happy guy, who has a happy family, who has a job he loves, that he is good at, which brought him fame and money, who works with his best friend, Combined that with a happy disposition, yeah, he has more energy and happiness in him than the other two characters.
So l'll wait until the end of the drama. Maybe the path of the FL and the ML is to overcome their problems which have led them to live a half-life. And once it's done, maybe they will find that "joie de vivre".
About chemistry, I always find harder to like shy/reserved couples and that's how, so far, the FL and the ML are being portrayed. I gravitate more towards feisty couples, the chemistry between those fictional coupoles are more obvious than with reserved couples. Those share awkward body language, non said words, hidden feelings, misunderstandings, not looking in the eyes, basically, their shy personalities make them act... unatural. It doesn't mean necessarely lack of chemistry, it's just that it's harder to get those couples, understand what they see in each other. Once again, wait and see, this drama has 36 episodes, I believe? things and behaviors can evolve.
Just my two cents.
So far, the plot is interesting, I wonder about the mystery of Pei Zhi's father's, the FL's father's illness, the mystery of who attacked him, the time travel, parallel worlds, the mystery of the pen recorder and the picture, also I wonder about JJ's path in this story, how will he evolve from a happy star to a time traveler/rejected man by the one he loves, there's the potential of a second couple with the manager and the FL's best friend, so that's enough to keep me interested.
- Pei Zhi said that about a month ago, he slept for a long time and when he woke up, there was that pen recorder,
- what if, when there's a travel to a parallel world, it's the soul, or the consciousness which travels and which occupies the body of their double in this world?
- if so, LZX and her buddy traveled there, but stayed for a long time so when they left, the LZX and JJ of the cheese world had amnesia,
- what if Pei Zhi from Cheese world found a way to travel to Strawberry world? he then occupied Pei Zhi's body of this world, let the pen recorder (why, though?) and went to LZX's home to let the picture in the mail box. He had to, for LZX and JJ to travel to HIS cheese world. Kind of like a time loop, only here it's a parallel loop. And that would explain why Strawberry Pei Zhi had no memory of doing that.
I hadn't thought of it! That's a great theory, maybe he did time travel and something bad happened, he changed the past? Like, his daughter died or something?
Also, hmmm, I don't know who said that Old Lin, Pei Zhi's parents and Pei Zhi were linked to whatever happened 4/5 years ago. Looks like lot of stuff happened, Pei Zhi stopped having contact with the FL, stopped studying math, Old Lin developped early Alzeihmer (did he, was it in fact the result of time travel?) and Pei Zhi's parents died, all that happened 5 years ago? It could be all linked.
Daddy Lin was attacked, am I the only one who thought that the FL's best friend's father is the one who did it? He is indifferent to anything apart from money and gambling. Maybe he has debts and he followed the FL's dad and stole the money?
Apparently, in strawberry's world, Pei Zhi's parents don't get along, dad is a boxer, mom is??? and she doesn't want her son to study mathematics. Something happened to Pei Zhi's father, or maybe both his parents and that's when he changed career?
Now, is the Pei Zhi who sent the picture is the one from Strawberry's world or from Cheese world? And does this world still exist somewhere or was it a "possibility timeline" which got destroyed once the FL managed to achieve her goal? It looked like this world was collapsing, when the FL and her friend were being transported back to their strawberry world.
So I wonder, parallel world or an alternate timeline, a "could have been if FL's dad had never raised her"?
Hmmm, in the opening credit, ML? is sitting on a strawberry cake and FL on a cheese cake. I wonder if originally, ML wasn't from the parallel world and he went back to his world and that's why she couldn't find him when she went looking for him. He was supposed to be in Germany but thanks tosocial medias and internet, it should have been easy to fid him.
aaybe he found a way to travel back and frth, but only a specific time, like during a solar eclipse?
Great drama so far but where I'm watching, the subtitles aren't good. I mean, the last letters of every sentence are missing. Do you know a place to watch where the subtitles are okay?
Also, Pei Zhi is the one who sent them to the parallel world, right? He put the picture in the mailbox and bam, it happened. Does this mean that Pei Zhi was from the cheese world originally and somehow landed in the strawberry world? God this is so confusing. I have only seen two episodes so far, I want to watch the others but the subtitles...
Actually iQiyi is taking a long way to air this drama. They can just broadcast the drama earlier even though its…
It's like it's getting worse with censorship. First it was mainly because of scandals touching actors. Then there was censorship about time travel. Then about same sex romance dramas. Now, it's about historical dramas. Three dramas in a week not airing while they should have, because of censorship? That's a lot of dramas in such a short time period.
Which one is it? I know for A Love Never Lost. But what the title for the other one?
Fingers crossed! I love time travel stories, the last one I watched (and that I loved, I don't love ALL time travel dramas) was last summer's "First love again". I wanted so much to watch that one this summer. Sigh, not this one, then. Maybe the one you mentioned.
Also, fingers crossed for the drama with Xu Kai Cheng, also a time travel story. I saw the trailer for "Love is n an accident" and it looked very funny.
Which one is it? I know for A Love Never Lost. But what the title for the other one?
It's just that it happened within two days, with the other series and this one. I wonder why. One was removed, the other which was supposed to air didn't and we don't know when it will. Hopefully this summer. But it's a time travel story so.... yeah, , there are resasons to be worried.
Any news? Even a rumor would give me hope. I love time travel love stories so I wait impatiently for this one, especially since the other two I was waiting for are either cancelled (or most probably forever cancelled "Night wanderer") or temporarly (I hope) on the shelf "See you again".
So yeah, if anyone has intel, it would be nice to have hope.
Two dramas taking place during the Republican era (or at least partly in the Republican era for this one), are removed, not a coincidence. What is happening right now in China for such a thing to happen to two dramas at the same time?
- Strawberry PZ & LZX travelled to Cheese world,
- also, I think it's clear now that it's their consciousness which travels and not their bodies and that's why when the consciousness travels to another world, it jumps into it's double in the parallel world ; and IMO, the Strawberry consciousness takes over their doubles, which are asleep or buried deep while there's this possession,
