No, it's just the name the author likes to use in his novels. It's the same Yan Liang as in the "Burning Ice", although actor is different.

He was asshole. Surely strong enough in the past to beat sister's bf alone, yet he hired others. Probably sister complex. Note that there's almost no likeable character in this drama, except for the Luo Wen.

It's irritating how police harass regular citizens, while gangsters can do anything they want. Guy is cleaning city from the human trash and police waste resources to catch him, while mobs are beating and threatening regular citizens. That being said Guo Yu is also very irritating character, almost everyone is annoying tbh, only Wen is cool.

One of my favorite movies. Carmen Maki's Watashi wa kaze, what a song.

Great soundtrack (intro reminds me British "Utopia"), atmosphere, attention to details. Just brilliant. One of the best Asian dramas.

The only thing that I felt was lacking is Xi Jung's death. There were no repercussions or any scene related to her death, like it didn't happen. No funeral, no police suspicion, not even her lover appearance. Book was better in that matter.

After reading the book:
Yan the professor was interesting character, shame he wasn't present in tv show.
Ding Hao was horrible in book, Yan Liang version in tv show is much better.
Overall the bad kids were not bad at all in tv show and maybe that's better.
Choice between fairytale and reality is a brilliant idea. Despite tv version is better than the book overall, the book makes few things better, while tv show skips many things, which remain unspoken, hence not really clear what and why is happening. I would gladly see version 2.0, which takes the best from both mediums and create ultimate experience.

Wasted potential. They could have done some many things with the loop. Rescuing more people to have additional allies, maybe ask the most open minded officer what did I have to tell you to believe me (for example results of all sports game during the day, some private secrets, anything), after many attempts they should have learned all moves the women can do, so they can subdue her without risking killing her or dying. Endless possibilities, yet we end up with omnipotent police against the dumbest protagonists ever.

My first Chinese drama ever. It felt strange, vibe was a bit Korean, yet everything was so clean and nice. I always had image of dirty and poor China (I guess too much Zhang Yimou movies).

I just wonder how the police find someone's identity just from the far angle of CCTV so fast. Usually in dramas, especially Korean police is rather stupid, but here they are not only sharp, but operate like Big Brother's Eye. I guess China is doing China thing. Invigilation of every single person. Scary.

On the other hand protagonists are not very bright and waste many loops by doing ridiculous things.

I don't watch Chinese movies, but when I do it's always him. Genius.

Excessively erotic just for the purpose of sex scenes. Heroine is capable and has resources to take revenge with different methods than just giving her body to everyone so easily.

I wonder, since manga hasn't ended, what's the difference between this drama and original story.

You can become Nostradamus-like persona from the young age and predict all catastrophes, so people would believe you at that point. Or win great amount of money from betting, buy entire airlines and decide what to do yourself with all flights. Or just don't let your friends enter the plane, which should be the easiest solution - simply buy tickets another time.

It's a good comedy, love Bakarhytm's sense of humor, despite I avoid Japanese comedies like fire, but there's something different about this guy.

So many nostalgic references to 90ties. Even if plot didn't make sense it was very good and heartwarming experience.

It's based on manga written by woman, maybe that's why every male character is clueless and lost, while women are strong and capable, whether good or evil. Anzu was almost like superhero, unrealistically competent, especially as celebrity manager the way she dealt with Katsuragi. I didn't like last episodes as much as I enjoyed entire series, despite it's flaws.

Great bass in ending. That Vaundy guy may be genius, impressive music sense for his age.

Dropped after 3 episodes. This is the problem with Japanese dramas I always have. They lack logic and realism. One family from some shithole can just go into the city and wreck havoc like that, not to mention that single policeman without any real power shouldn't be a thing in the first place. Send SWAT and just arrest or eliminate everyone. Once they first lay finger on the police it's over. In the other hand the villains also didn't even try to act naturally, they all their behavior from the start has been just asking for trouble, but the fact they are allowed to do as they please maybe made them feel overconfident.

It kind of sucks that the culprit looks like a 15 year old kid. He was suspicious from the start, but I thought he is too young to be a 10+ kid from 20 years ago. I mean Asians look young, but there is a limit one can predict their age.

I don't know original, so I didn't know it's prequel. It was my opinion from the perspective of someone who watches it as new drama without further seasons, so it seemed like something to artificially prolong series, while everything which was crucial already happened and there's no point to prolong that. I don't know - it seems like more of the same, just bigger scale. Maybe I am wrong, though?

World, where adults don't exist or are completely useless. Unrealistic in many ways, but still fun.

Last few minutes were just unnecessary, it's like in Gokusen, where the teacher comes to even worse school next season. For such high grades to just end up in such bad school and evidence he had was too strong to just be blocked by any good school, although I understand it's based on webtoon and many things are just made up to create a cool story.

This is very unique drama. Heavy, existential, yet heart-warming with the perfect ending. I have never seen something like that, especially coming from Japan. Even WOWOW with it's heavy dramas didn't make thing like this.

Original movie was better. This is a bit different, too dragged out, farfetched, illogical and obvious. It's not bad, because the source material is good enough, but inferior in every way to the animation movie from 2011.

Horrible conclusion. Society changed a man to a another docile lamb. I know that's not the case, but in this movie yakuza world is portrayed as much more attractive than regular life. Beautiful women, great food and beating bad guys. Movie would be better if the scene with beating coworkers was true. Here, it's not convicts who are rotten, but society itself.

I don't understand why that boy was so obsessed with Soeda, while talking about him behind his back. He could work for the nice bald guy. I was thinking that he might have been his kid from mistress or something, but the movie never told it. Cougar from the store felt also as unnecessary filler without any closure. It had potential, but in the end nothing really happens in this movie.
