Wait...What?!

What a ridiculous ending.
Long-term relationships don't work like this. Unless you are mental, I guess.
What was going on in the writer's brain, I wonder....
I hereby sincerely wish y'all to avoid this woman's fate\self-destructive decisions. Amen.
.....
Let me tell you something obvious (to anybody who's ever been in a long-term relationship):
relationships always change overtime. Love is not a hocus-pocus. It's a bunch of reactions happening in your body\brain as a result of your interactions with your loved one. When one's most basics needs are not met over a long period of time...surprise-surprise!...these reactions eventually decline.
Disturbingly, this thing that kept humanity from extinction for quite some time now is merely ignored here, and I don't understand why.

huh?

This might be one of the most peculiar and disturbing compilation of ads
that I've ever had the dubious pleasure to click through on double speed
while praying that a triple speed option would magically appear on the video playback speed controller.
I mean, such an unabashed waste of talent, time, energy and money has to be illegal.

Standing ovation on the underage sex scenes. Well done, Entertainment Industry. Here's your cookie.

With all the money that was poured into this...cinematic creation, they surely could have put dozens of kids from underprivileged backgrounds through med school. Twice.

And now I'm just sitting here gnawing on my nails worried-sick Charlie Kaufman might actually faint from all the laughter and would have to get hospitalized if he ever happens to watch this. Or from all the crying. Maybe both.
What if he has enough unwasted bad karma and this actually happens?
What would the Wachowski sisters think? LMAO

Ryan Gosling once mentioned the "two for them one for yourself" rule..... My hopeful guess is - for the one whose nickname does not correlate all too well with this abomination of a storytelling, this has to be the one FOR THEM. Also, could these THEY finally leave the grannies alone, please pretty please? Haven't the grannies suffered enough? Just stop it already. Better yet, to paraphrase an old song: leave the grannies and the kids alone!! And the cats, ok?

Emm, let's see:
the Durex's money could have been gone as the intimacy choreographer's wage, naturally.
the Cat Food's and the Sunscreen's money combined - as the medical advisor's wage, deservedly.
(loooved how they thoroughly transcribed all the medical terms. very important! educational! please forgive my sarcasm)
But then something must have gone TERRIBLY WRONG in the writers' room.
Because, surely, they only had money left for the cheap counterfeit vodka for a fuel, and the deadline was yesterday. Oh boy, that must have been tough: counterfeit vodka can make one do\write things, looking back one might not be so proud of.....

Ok then, sounds pretty plausible to me.
Or at least just as plausible as all the nappy marrow that went down within these longest ever 4 minutes.
Hopefully I might be able to unsee it with a heavy dose of baby elephants vids.
Fingers crossed.

Unexpectedly refreshing take on the cheesiest mainstream genre.

this is so oddly (in a good way) unusual that i decided to say a few words straight away (watched 2 eps for now)
so far seems like a very high-quality production through and through.
the characters have real depth, look more like actual people then u're probably used to in these kinds of series. the FL still annoying, puts too much effort in opening her eyes as wide as it is anatomically possible which is a bit suffocating to look at - the familiar clichéd "ingénue type" or so it seems so far.

the depicted world where all is ruled by materialistic interior motifs is alien to me. and personally, i wouldn't have survived past daycare for sure. but it's depicted so thoroughly, with so much attention to detail that I couldn't help but appreciate it and was drawn in (for the most part).

loved the music, Accusefive is 1 of my favorites, although admittedly I happen to know just a handful of Chinese musical artists.
loved the opening credits sequence and i don't skip it (!!)

most of the dialogs and the attention to visual details that help to tell the story and actually are essential to the plot in a smart way (as in "respecting the viewer's IQ") - wow, never saw this high level in such a mainstream genre before. (did see it in "heavier" types of Chinese series though)
oh, and the long-takes! (is it what it's called?) they are a treat! maybe just 'cause i don't see them all that often anymore and wasn't expecting a fancier camera work...but still)

So there you go for now)
Let's wait n see how much (if any) disappointment there's gonna be for the viewer as the story unfolds LOL
Thank you for reading.
