While waiting for new episodes, I binge-watched half of Maiden Holmes. The setup is similar, Zhang Linghe in the main role, a group of friends solving crimes. The entire time, I was like: "Where is the brick guy?" The answer: in the other series. 🤣🤣🤣
Having invested time in this drama I was very disappointed with the ending and had hoped to see them living out…
They didn't die, they became immortal because Ye Baiyi transferred his power to Wen Kexing and he exchanged it with Zhou Zishu. The kid from episode 37 is from Four Season manor. They are still teaching the students.
About CCTV ending, I see both points of view - that it's exact same ending and that it's more definite ending than the one on IQIYI. That is the power of editing - the same shots tell a different story. I always believed that they have reunited, so this ending only told me that I was right. ;)
I say it's a perfect ending for my re-watch. I am going slowly and savoring this beauty.
The entire scene of Li Lianhua on his shifu's grave in episode 6 is so much more tragic when you know what happens. "Where else can I go?" broke my heart.
I am slowly re-watching the drama and I forgot what a spoilt young master FDB was in the beginning, with servants and all. What a growth he had by the end.
