Yes on not passing censorship. It was a good creative and business choice to make the ending that way in the drama. No on dating a kid. ML was a kid when he transmigrated but lived for years in the book world so he's not a kid. Their "real world" age isn't much different which was part of the dialogue too.

Gives me bubbly feels seeing the different characters

I guess that vday video was a success. Even a troll came out of the woods to this page.

They just finished filming.

Based on the released pictures:
Xu Yi, Li Xiaoyi, Wu Xinhui (A Chan's mom), Zhong Yi, Li Dayou (not sure), Li Yunmo, and Zhou Zhihao

In the novel, they go back and forth and every time they go back in time, they switch souls and only have a limited time. So they change something they thought would fix things go to the new timeline and realize it didn't change much or make other bad butterfly effect, so they go back again.
I think it'll be fun to watch when it comes out.

I had a big smile with the young Lin Yi parts coz it's the female's soul inside. And his acting and voice matched the image in my head.
It's also nice to see that the main focus is really the life-fixing aspect.

It's not a romance-centric drama. Think Reset. There's a mystery-time-travel main plot and going through all of that together, they fall for each other. Having to deal with life-and-death and life-altering situations, kissing is not a priority.

OMG OMG OMG! I see parts that I remember from the novel. Looks like they kept a lot of the main points

he lied

You can search "What a disgrace" and "Manhua" and you'll find the scanlations

The other drama is here on MDL. Search "How Dare You" and you'll find the other one.

I really found the writing of this novel to be tight. Not much fluff (just maybe that whole 'imprisoned on the boat' part - but i swallowed it whole and did not leave crumbs). The SE was not without foreboding too, but I just wished it wouldn't happen as the plot moved closer to it.

It's not exactly their fault. It's a very popular novel that's been adapted to a comic, an animation, and another drama. They probably figured most people know the story already. But it's time to enjoy it with Wang Churan and Cheng Lei.

I'd give that other character a 0.5 mark coz she's a transmigrating character of the novel. Not a real world transmigrator like the mains.

The source material is really funny and quirky. It's not surprising there's a comic and an anime and another drama adaptation of this. But Wang Churan and Cheng Lei are killing it too!

I want all the angst and intrigue of the novel
+ a more solid HE than the novel's epilogue
I don't want anything cutesy or cheesy. XQSxNY were not a cheesy romance couple.
If anything, I'd at least want to have less of "Noble idiocy" although I get that the story intended for love to be sacrificed for the nation. But I'm ready for my moments of hair pulling and snot dripping for this drama.
