Qiao Ling has managed to get herself voted in as Time Agent manager.š¤£ While she did butt into their team, after the burglary I think itās a good idea for a third party to assist in an emergency situation. They go on a team building outing where everyone got along nicely except Lu Guang and He Xu. These two are constantly sparring. He Xu is definitely grey in some aspects while Lu Guang is sometimes too black and white. They cannot seem to find a middle ground and Cheng Xiao Si is often uncomfortable trying to keep the peace between them. Here Liu Ye talks about northern lights and magnetic fields which get the three others looking a bit nervous and not contributing much to the topic. After Qiao Ling primises to be at Liu Yeās book signing she doesnāt show. I was disappointed that she didnāt even call. I know she was comforting the girl assaulted in the train, but he deserved some notice rather than her weak make up sorry at work the next day. The actor playing assaulted girl (the one at the table with Qiao Ling)was the first time I saw poor acting in this drama. Her fake lament was not good compared to the caliber of actors in cast. It was a cringe moment on a serious topic. On his way home, Liu Ye is accused of assaulting a woman on the train. He didnāt do it, but circumstances made him look guilty. He really needed a friend in that moment and none were there for him. I found myself annoyed with Qiao Ling making cutesy faces for selfies while her friend was being hurled to the floor of the train being accused of a crime. For me, this is my least favorite episode so far. I am so disappointed in the one that is supposed to be his friend. Here she is acting far more like Cheng Xiao Si.š the second woman claiming assault was much more believable. This whole scene is disturbing but should be considering the subject matter.

Perfect acting in this episode. We are allowed to see what has happened and why with Zheng Zhong. He did do wrong, but it was to protect his family. I am sure that he would do it again even knowing he would be betrayed and punished. Had he included Shuang Hai, there might have been a better solution and red bean would have had more time with rice cake. But as the eldest he did his best to promote the wishes and dreams of his best friends above his own. He truly loved them unconditionally and never backed down from that. Even his moment of saying not close to Shuang Hai was to protect his friendās image and career. That hug on the beach and their reconciliation clearing the air and re establishing their bond was very heartfelt. The sharing of their wishes revealed some things to rice cake and is another full heart scene beautifully done. Qiao Ling took our time traveler duo to task and demanded answers. After several attempts to concoct stories between them, they finally told the truth. With a skillful montage of photos they proved to her they could and had traveled to specific points in time and communicated via another person. At the end, she found it incredible, but ultimately believed them. After the burglary, I am glad there will be a third party to help keep an eye on things. Shuang Hai has changed his mind and will give an interview on her podcast, so she treats the guys to a meal. I wish I could see how the ārealā fight goes with Zheng Zhong and Shuang Hai. I am thinking it will be one of their best kept secrets.

The match has started and Lu Guang canāt be found. Cheng Xiao Si finds himself a reluctant participant in the actual match. Lu Guang finds himself in hospital but with his treasure box and contents. The match is won but fraud is involved with the matches ā¦500k is needed by the other boxer and it is decided for him how to get it. Lu Guang finally gets to photo shop and the guys compare notes. Qian Ling shows up at photo shop and calls to file a police report. The real question is why He Xu is there and seems to understand the significance of the box? There is also a mystery girl that has a bracelet like the one in LGās box. This episode asks more questions than gives answers.

Cheng Xiao Si gets the opportunity of a lifetime. He gets to be his boxing hero believing the pic they used was after the match. But, turns out it was pre match and he begs Lu Guang to let him pretend to be boxing champ for opening song. Against his better judgment, Lu Guang agrees. However, the photo shop was robbed and Lu Guang finds himself in the hospital while Cheng Xiao Si finds himself actually fighting the championship match. Things are not going well for either of them. The actors pretending to be Jiang Long do an excellent job. It is believable that somebody else is now on the scene and subtle, or not so subtle changes are taking place to specific events.

This episode is so moving. It brings balm to the heart after the tragedy of the earthquake. All the guys end up meeting at the momās gravesite and while Cheng Xiao Si leaves still upset with Lu Guang, Chen Xiao receives pictures from the old camera. It is here that he has the memories implanted from CXS and his spirits are lifted. Qian Ling and Liu Ye are scheduled for a live podcast for ten year commemoration of the earthquake. It was supposed to bring healing and remembrance but their invited guest was horrible and very unsuited for their intentions. Fortunately their plans were changed for the better because Chen Xiao came and shared the pictures and his memories. That the pictures of the dead smiled because they knew they were loved. This message provided the heart balm the fathers and CXS needed. He left with the understanding of what the mission was. And while still very sad about things, he had new perspective to understand what could be changed and the comfort that could bring to those who survived and endured. The actors performance was so wonderful. You feel the grief and the sadness; then the hope and resolve of moving forward. I have no idea why this is rated so low, but it is truly worth watching. It tells incredible stories very well. They make you reflect and appreciate life as it is in all itās flawed glory.

The acting in this episode was very well done. Everything was so happy after the game and then went horribly wrong. The anguish shown by Chen Xiao just tore at your heart. Lu Guang was also in pain because he understood the inevitability of the outcome and how much Chen Xiao Si would fight against it. When he returns he is so angry with Lu Guang and rightly so. As mentor he was more concerned with the outcome to get him to the mission most on his mind, rather than remembering the acute pain of not being able to change a tragedy. Here, he was the one that failed badly and the result was irreparable harm to Cheng Xiao Siās mental state. He is already suffering serious PTSD and it is compounded because to his friends and family there is no reason for it. They can only see him suffer and try to comfort him and wonder why he is in such a state. He is visited by He Xu who says he is the only one that can help. He thinks it is the referral Lu Guang gave him. Lu Guang is staying close by, but Chen Xiao Si wants nothing to do with him and I donāt blame him.

In this episode Cheng Xiao Shi gets his first real mission of importance. He finds himself the weak kid with glasses who is supposed to be team photographer. In spite of his last attempt to lose the game, the weakest member actually wins it. š„³ Here, since it is their last game I am happy they won even if a rule was broken. We arenāt told what three sentences he was to say, but he delivered the messages to the people that were supposed to receive them. Pictures are taken and the photos are changed to happier expressions because he was there to alter things. He is happily eating very pleased that his mission was accomplished when he realizes the date and what the big node is that cannot be changed. He is very upset as the episode ends.

Cheng Xiao Shi and Lu Guang successfully reveal all the devious behavior of Shang Chun Zhao. It was a well deserved punishment and the smile of the employee he most bullied made me smile along with her. I am very glad to see her get justice. Lu Guang still has misgivings about his new partner, but has to admit they are hard to find so he is going to see how things go and hope for the best. You can tell he is quite reluctant but is seeing that Cheng Xiao Shi is a decent person and willing to do better each venture. Lu Guang visits his home town still seeking answers about the death of his mentor. He has gone to great lengths to find a photo that will get him back to the right place and time. Someone comes to the photo shop with an old camera needing repairs and Lu Guang fixes it along with developing the pictures. He is becoming a part of CXSās family making skewers in their restaurant. The actors do a good job presenting the story and production staff did well with making the back and forth time trips believable. I am really enjoying their combined efforts.

This episode is so sad. It is more than the death of a young dr. His father could not accept him as he was and did his best to make his son live a false life. But just when things were turning around for the better, the dr is killed in the hospital lobby fending off an addict. Geu-ru once again figures out the truth of the matter and gets the heart box to the right person. I did have to smile that Na-mu slept through the concert and hardhearted Sang-Gu wants to give standing ovation. He continues to become more personable. As the episode concludes he is visiting the fighter he hurt trying to wake him from his coma.

Geu-ruās photographic memory wonāt let him rest because he didnāt find a pet camera in the teacherās belongings. Sang-Gu helps him find it in a ceiling vent. This provided the evidence needed to prove boyfriend was guilty. Him laughing was a horrible thing. Geu-ru and Na-mu give the teacherās gifts to students and friend. The only good thing that came of this other than false boyfriend getting arrested was Sang-Gu confronting the other abusive boyfriend that obstructed his running path. The detective gave Geu-ru her card. He refused it saying already memorized and rattled off all her information. Her reaction was funny, she was basically looking like she didnāt know all that from memory. Na-mu is tailing the uncle, finds out he is trying to sell the business and that he is fighting underground. Or rather being beaten. Whoever is blackmailing him is forcing him to lose fights.

Geu-ru has connected the dots and figured out why the mom was at the bank. He is all ready to tell the son, but learns his uncle tossed the heart box. His uncle is developing a conscience and helps find the box in a landfill. The son of the deceased is a disappointment. His main objective is still the money. But Geu-ru gets him to a tailor shop and the son sees how she saved his gift until she could get him the suit. I can only hope he will become a better person. Na-mu is determined to help her friend become more independent without his dad, but her mom isnāt happy about it. Her dad is a sweet person trying to keep both of the women in his life happy. He sneaks civil service practice tests in Na-muās backpack so that his wife will think she is studying for a job. For now everybody is happy with this arrangement. There is a backstory with Cho San-gu where he is being blackmailed for injuring a fighter. During an evening run he sees a couple where the boyfriend was abusive. Their next trauma case turned out to be at a murder site. Geu-ru takes it in stride and gets ready to clean the scene.

GY has completely misunderstood who the baby daddy is and has a conversation with TQ and SCC and reveals the ob/gyn visit and that SCC is pregnant. SCC signals to TQ to play along and not say anything. When they are alone TQ has already figured out the situation and is disappointed that SCC did not tell GY the truth of the matter. Ultimately they both agree to stay out of it and let LY and GY sort it out for themselves because it is a delicate matter. GY takes the time to lecture TQ telling him to reflect on why she didnāt tell him she was pregnant. He later gets to reflect on his own words when LY reveals the truth. I think the questions he asks her are on point. They donāt put her on the spot or address the baby at all. He just wants her to take their relationship day by day and not overthink the future. He respects the conditions she put on their relationship but does share how well his single mother did with him. He doesnāt press but gives her another perspective to consider. Big sis overheard them when GY thought SCC expecting, and rather than checking with her sister to see how sheās doing, she runs and tattles to mom and dad.š TQ takes everything in stride but against SCCās wishes tells the family the truth of the matter. Big sis saves a bit of face from prior childishness by stalling the parents so they canāt interrupt LY and GYās conversation. SCC is still hesitant about wearing makeup after filter experience and TQ puts it in perspective for her so sheās more at ease with wearing it again. At work, colleagues are calling out what makes each other pretty. š They have another board meeting where plans for their shop will include 3D tech for customers to virtually try on different looks to consider purchases. TQ is very proud of his lovely fiancĆ©e. š„°

Pregnancy is the last thing to cover for the young women in this drama. Personally, I wanted this to be the joyful ending for TQ and SCC after a perfect wedding ceremony. But that is too damn predictable and the last thing this author wants is the expected response. So she makes LY and GY expecting parents. LY is especially unprepared due to the safeguards they had in place to prevent this. Throwing the parent issue in this direction gives the author a much bigger spectrum of reactions and dilemmas that would have not applied to TQ and SCC. At the company, everyone is pitching ideas for an offline store and SCC is wanting other options than those offered. TQ is in sync and thinks he knows what she has in mind and will present his idea later. LY gives a panicked call to SCC and she pleads sick to leave early to meet up with LY. I did laugh when she said GY was quite capableš¤£ When the ladies get to the ob/gyn she learns she is about 6 weeks along and sees the heart beating on the monitor but is far from happy. We learn more about her past and why she has no desire for marriage or family. The fact that she and her dad are both artists makes her even more unwilling to consider children. What if she is like dear old dad and a complete failure at it? They bump into GY and his mom at the hospital and itās a bit awkward. Sheās decided she doesnāt want to tell GY and makes SCC promise not to tell. GY is smart and clever and figures out what the pink pamphlet is about. Here I can say Huang Si Rui does an excellent job acting the hormonal crazed female. She is very believable in her mom to be status.

Our handsome men attempting to move dining table for dad Su. š¤£š This drama continues to take you on a journey unexpected. It makes you think about things and situations that often get brushed aside in our busyness with living. It succeeds in making us reflect on things we might also be guilty of or enduring because of our silence. It continues to open our hearts a bit more to the beauty in life that we forget is truly not mundane.
