Title The Heart of Genius Spoiler
My thoughts after ep 14.....

Well i was so so pumped up till ep 10 because the writer layed out our main characters so well in the cheese world so i was looking forward to their chemistry in the strawberry world, but dang!!!! i was so so disappointed. There is no chemistry between any adult characters at all, ZERO. They all look like they are reading out their lines without much emoting.

1) Adult Lin ZhaoXi look so tired and the actress is not doing justice in portraying the character. We all have tasted what the young Lin Zhao Xi has fed us so i was looking for something deep but i didn't get it. When the LZX of strawberry world had gone to cheese world, we could see the desperation in the eyes of the young LZX that her dad in strawberry world is in coma so at any cost she had to go back. But as soon as she back, the adult LZX is so dull. She has resigned from her job, dad has alzheimer's, and she wants to pursue master's in maths when she had done her bachelor's in psychology . That means she has to put in x189339 times more efforts than the other students but the actress is not able to show that desperation. Instead she is roaming behind Pei Zhi and just killing time. The young LZX didn't even sleep, she worked her ass off to come back to the strawberry world. The young actress emoted the desperation very well. Her chemistry with her father was so mind blowing. To add on top of that, adult LZX's hair is just hideous. How could none of the technicious, makeup artist notice this. What a disinterested buch of technicians.

2) The chemistry between all the adult characters lack soul. Lin Zhao Xi and her dad's chemistry in strawberry world is really lackluster. She got to know her dad's disease , yet her emotions were dull. She claimed she loved Pei Zhi from very long, but there is no chemistry between them. Even Pei Zhi is equally disinterested. When he was telling his mom that he likes Lin Zhao Xi, there was no tension or emotion involved. When they roamed around in the mall, there was no chemistry. They were holding hands, but it was nearly snooze fest for me. They don't look like a couple, neither acquaintances. Young Pei Zhi was so good, his dynamics with his parents was so good. That scene were his dad and he were trying to convince his mom to send him to the olympiad math camp was so good and well executed. Here in the adult world, Pei Zhi doesn't look desperate even while listening to that recorder where his dad's recording is there. When he was explaining her his family's love for math and how all of them fell ill because of that, neither Pei Zhi looked concerned nor Lin Zhao Xi. Lin Zhao Xi had just 2 lines after that. That's it. He just said, even he was detected with that illness, but she was just disinterested in that.

3) The sudden force of confession of Hua Jun to Lin Zhao Xi. I know we all had that expression - WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN. The writer just forced that thing down our throat. They should have explored more on their friendship and gradually build their emotions out of it. Now everything looks so forced. The only character i was enjoying was adult Hua Jun, that arc also went south. The kid Hua Jun was the best of the lot. His acting was so so superior and i just want to see these kids till the end, lol

4) In the cheese world, everyone did such a splendid job including Zhang Shuping. His dynamics with all the kids. They have spoilt us with the good acting and chemistry.

These actors are all well known so i don't know what went wrong. The direction is bad or acting in general, i don't know. I am only hanging around to see those kids again. I know they will show them in the flashback at least. That is more than enough for me.

For the 1st time i couldn't understand why CSS was angry/upset because LBY defended her or because he defended…
I had totally forgotten about qiqi's grand dad's story but remember in the same conversation how CSS had told that she wants a normal simple life, nothing more nothing less. LBY heard this.

The question is why he did what he did. If he was flaunting his power then I would have understood. Leave about wang Lin, even yuan shen talks ill about CSS so what should one do in that position. Just listen to him like A'Yao. Again, this time Wang Lin had questioned her character so I think what he did was absolutely right or else she will just spread this nonsense

I felt zero emotions for Yuan Shen's situation, i wouldn't even call that a situation. People there have lost…
So are we supposed to feel sad for this guy who is narcissist as F because his mom is alive and just doesn't give a fuck ,where we have Ling Bu Yi whose mom is mad (or she might be his aunt, we still don't know), CSS's mom is too mean and rude , who just doesn't know how to treat her only daughter well , who keeps humiliating her at every stage.

I love that LBY is always ready and willing to defend and protect CSS but imo no matter how good his intentions…
For the 1st time i couldn't understand why CSS was angry/upset because LBY defended her or because he defended her in such a way that those people won't question her anymore. Sorry, but i tried but couldn't understand her. Now these people (wang ling) have moved on from talking about how uncultured she is to how characterless she is. Did she still wanted her fiance to keep quiet after this. I know he moved his black guards for that, so what, he can afford to do that, isn't it a good thing. These people won't just shut their mouth if you just scold them, they are too bold , obviously desperate times calls for desperate measures. Now i know, CSS only likes those who listens to her and its not other way around. So she liked A'Yao because he was like a puppy who was behind her all the times, always praising her so she thought that was good.

C-dramas sometimes just don't know how to balance a "kind of bad, but sympathetic character". They go so far with…
I felt zero emotions for Yuan Shen's situation, i wouldn't even call that a situation. People there have lost their entire family and this guy is still crying because his mom has given him too much freedom. Yeah boy, 1st world problems, please move on

They should have just trimmed her ends, it would have looked amazing. Now she looks like a 80's aunty. Sorry, but that's the reality. It looks really hideous

She is powerful, but probably she has no idea about Alchemy of Souls, which is a forbidden sorcery, only Cheonbugwan…
Seongrim is a place where only male students/ mage's go and study. I haven't seen female mages there but this doesn't mean Jin family is not involved in seongrim. Even Seo family is part of it who is that old man who is a physician

The first jump: They jumped to a parallel world in the past.
No no father didn't time travel. He had Alzheimer's and due to the robbery incident and hit on his head, he has forgotten and only remembers things till when he was 20 years old. So they have lied to him saying he has come to the future to not to stress his brain

I don't think so. It's a known sorcery. Jin family is part of Songrim. Infact they are the gate keepers to all the dark sorceries which came out of ice stones. It was explained in the episode where Mu Doek gets lost in the talking mirror. So Jin clan is very powerful

So you are telling me, Dahyun was near a street tent/stall and instead of staying put where people are around,…
I don't think she is dumb, if she was then how did she find a Michelin star chef and good looking guy despite being unemployed till the end

Looks like Jin clan's leader's husband is a soul shifter. Despite being very powerful she is not able to identify him. Do they mean to say they have not had intimacy for long so she didn't notice the blue Mark of the soul shifters...

I think most of the reasons is budget reasons. Main leads usually has the biggest wardrobe and the side characters…
I feel Lusi has some 4-5 dress and Wu Lei as well, apart from them i think rest of the side characters have either 1 or max 2
