Remarks

by FanFanX

[First Impression (Ep1-3)] They're adorable and the pairing I didn't know I needed. But I'm anticipating some real heartbreak soon.

[Actors/Actresses] Lin Yi is having a good year and he's so sweet in this. Li Lan Di and Wang You Jun will be reunited for this one. (They were both in last year's All the Way to the Sun.) 

One might recognize Sun Tian Yu as Chen Guang Pu, as he's Li Ai Dao in Pegasus. He has the most horrible hair/wig here. Okay, and he's also even more obnoxious here... [Edit: He got better as the series progressed.] 

[Behind the Scenes] 

[OST] Full OST. I must say, no song should have the words "You are my melotonin" in it. (6th song.)

[Ending] Open to interpretation. 

Two years later, we see Zhi Qu return home and then she says, "Lin Tuo, I'm home". They pan over to the other room, and he's hooked up to various machines. He still has a heartrate.   

My thought is that he's still alive. There's hope. Slim but it's still there. As of the writing of this post, there is still no cure for ALS.
