I haven't seen the new episodes yet. But from what I can gather this show is wish fulfillment and I'm quite excited that from what I've heard so far the plot is going like. The Most ideal way i would have hoped for it to be written

#lb #mysterious lotus casebook #like? oh yeah i can tell its Love and Redemption screenwriter or i wouldnt be SO satisfied #like 1. murder mystery cases check 2. natural scenery check. 3. cheng yi getting to do comedy check. 4. clingy young man with a shizun crush #whos a clingy bitch <3 check 5. clingy ex rival enemy whos obsessed with li lianhua living check #6. enough *bromance you could just use it as the dangai/danmei of the summer tbh (check check check) #7. themes about growing up about illness about trauma about whats right versus easy right versus normal check #8. wedding dress check. 9. my boy ye baiyi who usually plays a villain... pitentially playing one again CHECK #10 a sexy evil lady <3 check 11 the plot valuing sharing emotions as Strength over physical strength (huge check. lead protagonist #is ordinary. his biggest hurdle is facing his regrets and wanting to die and choosing to keep going) #12 moving lotus tower = howls moving castle CHECK #13 cute dog!!! (and not cgi dog like so many cdramas lol) #14 instead of fighting yr rival you move in with him and take care of him mutually <3 check #just like. excellent exceplent all around #oh and for me bonus: case of the week plots with character arcs as the other half of the episode writing #which i find is a much easier structure to watch on and off (like Guardian Torchwood Buffy etc) #also the show recaps the last scene at the start of the new episode. which again is great for making #things easier to remember
