There is always one demented-serial-killer-androgynous-ass-face prince in the royal or imperial family... Wow... That was a mouthful.
Ok, let me get this right. They killed off Mu Yuan; one of the most lovable yet sorrowful and pitiful character in the drama. However, after pulling off all those murders, framings, incitements and schemings; this demented-serial-killer-androgynous-ass-face prince aka Lord Lu got away with everything after just a slap on the wrist by his imperial “Dàgē...” Right... What the F...!!!
*Did I like this drama? I don’t know what I feel about it. I have major extreme mixed feelings about it. I did like Tou and Xue Zhi‘s wedding garments. That should count for something...
Will disagree with you. She will use tactics to gain power for him soon and many times will make sacrifices for…
Ahhhh... No wonder, the finale product is such a mess. One of the writers from the Novoland series; well... there is no need for more explanations. The Novoland series are always a complicated mess with superfluous side stories and irrelevant characters. As for the director, maybe this absurdity of a drama was just a side job... Hahaha. Obviously, the 2 dramas that you mentioned had better budgets all together and of course, actual real actors.
One more to add to the list of disappointments of 2020. I can count on 1 hand; the very few that I fully enjoyed this year. It has being really bad this year. At this rate, I might start checking Bollywood dramas again... Hahaha... No disrespect to Bollywood dramas, you just can’t expect much from them.
In order for Tou and Xue Zhi to be together, one of them has to either be critically wounded or critically ill... That is not a romance; that is a Greek tragedy.
Who is the mastermind Snake behind all these? It is a toss-up between the crowned prince and Tou’s older sister husband (The sickly prince aka Lord Lu). My money is on the sickly prince/Lord Lu. There is something about him that is just not right. Looking at it from the outside, the crowned prince would be the obvious choice because he would want to eliminate anything that obstructs his path to the throne. However with a closer look, that dejected prince, Lord Lu, is a Snake. His character reminds me of the other snake in “The Untamed.” He is the only one who would gain more if the Hall of Fame gets destroyed, if Tou gets killed, if Tou’s father gets framed and imprisoned and finally if the sitting crowned prince looses all of his political supports and gets removed.
Can you explain why they cannot share a world? Luna and teThe show does not explain.
I am a biochemist not a physicist or a mathematician. However, I am pretty familiar with the formation of atoms and energy expansions because they are parts of my field.
*I am sorry that humble explanation did not clarify anything for you.
Can you explain why they cannot share a world? Luna and teThe show does not explain.
That is what that I have been saying. This is an adaptation from numerous scientific theories. It is creative writing. That is what loosely based means.
Can you explain why they cannot share a world? Luna and teThe show does not explain.
You are right. According to the screenwriter, Lee Gon could not predict the exact time for his jumps with a half flute. So to meet her time after time, his jumps into different years were random.

From my humble understanding. That middle pink road is like a wormhole where time and space does not exist. So it has been speculated that one could move from one universe to the next and in different time periods without been affected by time and space. The writer adaptation of that theory is that 25 years in our actual universe is a duration of 4 months or so on that pink road.
*However, I can not emphasize it enough that is just speculations.
Which rules have this writer actually kept? She breaks them left and right for her convenience but more likely…
Everything in the universe has gravitational force and pull because we are all made of masses. Unless there is no gravity then we would just fly away. What are you talking about?
Can you explain why they cannot share a world? Luna and teThe show does not explain.
Maybe in the mind of the screenwriter, as long as one of the 2 individuals is unconscious; they are able to coexist. I don’t know. You would have to ask her yourself. Either way, that is called creative writing. And there is nothing wrong with that...
Which rules have this writer actually kept? She breaks them left and right for her convenience but more likely…
And I am seriously perplexed about what you wrote. Do you know what the Newton's law of universal gravitation actually is? It is about gravity and body mass. In episode 16, they used that law to prove the earth is not flat but spherical. That has nothing to do with the numerous theories from which the drama is loosely based on. Other then the fact that “the universe contains numerous galaxies with different masses which in turn form a system of millions or billions of stars made of gas and dust, held together by gravitational attraction.”

It is a fictional drama loosely based on some principles of quantum physics and mathematics. We can not expect a scientific documentary on parallel universes... I am sure that the screenwriter was not going for a Nobel Prize Laureate in Quantum Physics or in Mathematics.
We, scientists, are dreamers... Storylines like this only make us dream more about the unknowns.
The nerd in me loves this drama in its entirety. The cast, the directing, the production, the storyline, the screenplay and even the multitude numbers of product placements which at one point simply became amusing... I guess; it was very expensive to keep up with the Haute Couture fashion for the entire royal crew from the Kingdom of Corea. They needed those product placements.
Although I enjoy watching it to the very end; I feel rather unsatisfied with Lee Gon and Tae Eul‘s ending. Traveling into different parallel universes and time periods are all fun and game; however, I wanted to see a royal wedding, a royal queen coronation and a stable lifestyle... So to speak... The scientist in me understands that it is against the rules to have both Luna as a detective and Tae Eul as the crowned queen living in the same universe. Nonetheless, the irrational romantique in me wants Lee Gon and Tae Eul to be the royal couple that rules over the kingdom.
*All in all, both the scientist and the romantique in me adored this drama.
In this spy drama, Autumn Cicada, the defensive and offensive counterattacks from the Chinese patriotic parties…
And once again, where is the male lead, Ye Chong, during all these commotions, fights, cold/brutal murders and altercations? Major Ye Chong is as usual, ABSENT. His character has to be the most MIA male lead that I have seen in a spy drama... I mean the guy is never there. Why do they even need Allen Ren playing that role? Why do they even need that role?
In this spy drama, Autumn Cicada, the defensive and offensive counterattacks from the Chinese patriotic parties are way too passive for my taste. In Sparrow, the communist party, the socialist party, the CPC and the BIS were very active; which made it for a very dynamic storyline. There were assassinations, boobytraps, bombings and framings of the Japanese high ranks and their collaborators. In this one, besides the BIS’s Hong Kong chief playing traitorous tricks on his own Chinese people; there is not much actions.
*I am starting to think that Sparrow was a much better spy than Autumn Cicada. At least Sparrow was not so indecisive about getting his hands dirty. *Also, this drama should have been named “Absent Cicada” instead of “Autumn Cicada.” There are more screen-times with the 2nd male lead character, Chi Cheng, than with the 1st male lead character, Ye Chong.

I don’t think there is any kiss scene in there either. I might be wrong. I have to double check.
