Having taken the trouble to skim over the 100+ chapters of the web novel on which the film version is based, I…
The author already wrote the supplemental chapters even before the drama started being conceptualized. The screenwriter had all of that information and can insert that in the drama. Other dramas have done the same, adding bits from the extras into the drama narrative.
That the screenwriter chose not to and instead gave a sanitized Luke but kept Flora as is, is not the web novel author's fault. Just because you skimmed through a novel doesn't give you enough understanding of the novel itself and does not give you the high ground to criticize the author.
In fact, I don't like how they created an imbalanced approach by making Luke more likable and kept Flora's dialogues making her seem unreasonable when it was perfectly reasonable in the novel.
some people need to read the novel and realize they tweaked luke character in the drama and made him likeable…
This. They forgot that the novel created a balance between the imbalanced LN-SZT. In the drama, they sanitized LN, but kept SZT as is, making her less palatable. Such a disservice to SZT character tbvh. If you wanna sanitize, sanitize both!
how come they are sister and brother but don't have the same family name? zuo and wei? they are not biological…
Actually, in China, parents can register their child either under the father or the mother's surname. So it's possible that's what happened. In the novel though, both are Zuo.
Why are drama viewers making excuses for LN? LN was red flag. The story shows his character development. BUT HE IS A RED FLAG IN MORE THAN HALF OF THE STORY. He changed, and that is the beauty of his character's story. Stop taking that away from this character by making excuses for him.
I hope everyone can read this part of the book and try to understand Luan Nian. He is not a bad person, nor is…
The novel never made excuses for Luan Nian's bad attitude. He wasn't emotionally open. Accept that. Because the book made sure to show his growth and change after realization. He was a red flag. But he changed. That was the most important thing with his character. Stop making excuses, the author never did.
Hey can anybody tell me the plot I did not understand she comes after 7 years and then fell in love with him then…
The novel isn't explicit about this but the author uses "__ years ago" indicator.
Consider YearX being the year WYN left HK after she tried a murder-suicide with THQ. YearX + 7 = she returns to HK and meets ZWS. ZWS and WYN dates, plans to get engaged, THQ pressures WYN to break off engagement YearX + 9 = THQ's murder
will it air this December? that would be amazing .
Even though I want to watch this soon, I doubt it'd be ready by December. There's a whole lot of editing, then rounds of censorship ,then dubbing and more editing, then getting distribution approval, then getting sponsors, then scheduling for airing. It's already the middle of August.
That small bit of PGY taking videos of BL seems to indicate that Teng Haiqi's "video evidence" will be kept tho. So maybe it's just some incriminating video of Wensi, not exactly BL in nature. Haiqi could be written as someone domineering and thinks that he "made" Wensi so he "owns" Wensi and doesn't want Yunna to taint "his Wensi".

YearX + 9 = THQ's murder
That's a 2-3 year period
THQ to WYN: leave ZWS
ZSD to WYN: stay with ZWS
hahahahaha
This is a case solving mystery story with a good dash of romance and a quirky team.
