ISTG I’ll be so pissed off if they don’t give this couple the good, happy ending they deserve.🫵😤

Fugui is so soft-hearted; I just want him to be happy atp. Also, I hate the idea of “soldier”—they basically raise their son to be used as killing machines. It’s so diabolical.👁👄👁🤌

The father is also annoying... He’s projecting his trauma onto Fugui and treating him like a killing machine without giving him any explanation. I don’t care what kind of trauma he’s been through — the moment he had this child, he should’ve taken responsibility as a father. Sometimes, it even feels like he treats Rumu better than his own son. He knows Rumu had a terrible father, yet he never reflects on how bad he is as one himself.😬 Also, Quan Jinting (Rumu's dad) is such a loser...

I know people said that it's likely to have a "happy ending" (I just saw several comments saying that). But, I'm still hoping for a happy ending or at least a good ending.

[LAST EPISODE SPOILER]

Basically, Jicai (the FL) returns to the modern era and wakes up at the historical site (the same one from the first episode). All her family members are worried and tell her that she fainted. So, for Jicai, it’s like everything was just a “dream,” and none of her family members remember that they time-traveled.

Meanwhile, Lin Yan, who remains in ancient times, is the only one who remembers the Shen family and their diner. Everyone else forgets their existence. He spends the rest of his life restoring the building as a memento of the Shen family and their memories. Before he dies, he still remembers Jicai. *He's basically a heartbroken-lonely ancient man*💔🤧

In the end, they come across each other in modern times—when Jicai visits the ancestral hall, the future Lin Yan calls out her name.

*future LinYan is the guy in black in the 1st episode
*both FL and ML remember each other
*everyone forgot about the Shen Family, the Shen Diner, including the family members (except FL)

The end…

Yeah, even though both the ML and FL reunited in modern times and remembered each other, erasing everyone’s memories of the Shen family and the Shen Diner completely ruined the story. How can you travel back in time with your family and yet be the only one who remembers it? It kind of ruins the fun. 🥲

Still, I really enjoyed the beginning and middle parts of the show, especially the comedic moments. Also, they should’ve shown more of Jicai and Lin Yan’s married life… I feel so bad for Lin Yan. 😭

WeTv, I bought the express one...

Even if they were forced to make an ending where they go back to modern times because of censorship, I believe there were tons of better options than this one.🤧👍

Idk, even if they were forced to make an ending where they go back to modern times because of censorship, I believe there were tons of better options than this one.🤧👍

Personally, since they time-traveled together as a family and the whole plot revolves around the themes of “family” and “ancestors,” this kind of ending just doesn’t make sense.

Rather than "sad" or "happy", it's a "bad ending" for me. Also, I never see it as a happy ending for LinYan.

-----------------(SPOILER ALERT)-------------


Before you read my spoiler, let me clarify first: Everyone’s interpretation of a good or bad ending is different. Personally, since I’m disappointed with the ending, I’d say it’s a bad one.



------Here's the spoiler--------

FL and ML—Lin Yan (in the ancient timeline) , don’t get a happy ending. Lin Yan’s last scene shows her dying peacefully while remembering Ji Cai (FL/SSG).
Back in the modern timeline, the FL wakes up after fainting, and her whole family is just like, “Are you okay?” Urghhh... yup, basically it was all just a dream, and none of them (except the FL and ML) remember their past lives. Even the people from ancient times don’t remember the Shen family’s existence.

I think it’s just a case of “nonexistence” for the rest of the characters, while only the two of them remember everything.

The FL and ML cross paths again in modern times—they’re destined to be together there, but not in ancient times, where Lin Yan dies heartbroken and alone.

Why I think it’s a bad ending:
1) What’s the point of this drama if only the FL and ML remember their story? 😂 Just remove the rest of the characters and make the FL the only one who time-travels.
2) We all know how much the Shen family impacted the whole story — even their dumb actions affected the plot. So why did the writer make everyone forget their existence?
3) If I had to describe the ending in one sentence, it’s like... “Haha, it’s a PRANK!”

Knowing how hard it was for them to be together, and how long it took for the Shen family to build their own restaurant, I really don’t like the typical “it was all just a dream” ending. It feels like the writer completely disregarded the other characters who were involved in the story.
I don’t know if the writer wanted to shift the focus just to the ML and FL’s angst, but honestly, it was so unnecessary. If they started the drama as a time-travel family story, then why did the writer end it with only the FL being the one who “experienced” everything? Why?

I don’t like the ending…😕 huftttt they ruined the ending.

I put the spoiler below if you want to see the ending, but a reminder for everyone:
Every person’s interpretation of a good or bad ending is different, but I personally think this one was bad.

Imo, if you want to watch it as a "happy"/"good" one, watch it until episode 31 (🥲).

Someone said "Jun Mo Xiao" (YeXiu) never lost, no, he did lose...

Pheewwww, wow, Xiao Tang, I didn't expect that you will be THIS ANNOYING. I thought she's a better ver of herself, it turns out she's becoming EVEN MORE arrogant.

[UPDATE] Jicai’s father is getting more and more annoying—this is beyond my limit. He honestly wouldn’t survive all of this if it weren’t for his wife and daughter. He’s the source of every problem in the family.😩
He’s not a good provider in the modern era, and now that he’s in ancient times, his personality is even more irritating. Number one NPD—he puts his pride above safety and never learns from his mistakes. I just don’t think he’s a good husband in general, let alone a good father. He’s naturally kind, but HIS PERSONALITY... urgh.
I don't mind if he's dumb. But being DUMB and ARROGANT is another different story...😑

[Update] Finished watching episode 15, and I didn’t expect the plot twist—especially the one about the princess lol. Also, Prince Zhao is obviously controlling Anran. I don’t like the way he abused Anran’s feelings (as a kid who grew up without a family) and forced him to be his “pawn.” Urghhh…😅

I'm currently watching episode 9. This might be on my "comfort" drama list. Super funny and entertaining. The story itself is light, it gives you warmth and laughter. The dynamic of the family is insane, also FL ML chemistry is so cute. Bonus point to the fact that it's a combination of food and romantic comedy drama. Love it so much!

Jicai's father reminded me of my dad. He's annoying, but you can't help but accept and love him (as a family/daughter). --> (update) istg he's more annoying than my dad lol. Jicai and her mother are so kind to him. I can't stand his personality.

I wanted to look up some information on a Donghua fandom website, but I accidentally came across a BIG SPOILER about Ye Xiu’s career journey. Damn, I really didn’t expect that.😅

I don’t think the drama will go that far, but still—it made me question a lot of things. Maybe I’ll start reading the novel after I finish the whole drama.

*I took a moment of silence after seeing that big spoiler lol—Ye Xiu is such an easygoing character, but sometimes his actions make him seem mysterious or complicated. After I saw that spoiler, it convinced me that he’s actually a complicated one lol (not in a negative way).*

[UPDATE] I'm currently on episode 22, and I thought they were starting to figure out their management system as they recruited new members. But I realized their team management is so bad. I know they really need new members, but I don’t think this kind of approach is proper. They should have stated at the beginning of the recruitment contract that they are a new team. It’s like when new startups or businesses recruit interns — they usually make it clear that their company is new and may lack resources.

I’m so frustrated, but then I realized that the team itself isn’t familiar with how a formal company works. Huft…🤧

Watched Until Episode 20...
I have some questions...
1) Why is Su Muqiu able to invent weapons? It's definitely different from any other character's weapons. (I was assuming he experimented with upgrading and combining rare materials, but I don't know.)
2) Why can Su Muqiu create a map? I don't remember him being the inventor of the game... or did I miss details about how players can create maps?

I see... Thank you so much!😆🙌
