So I was looking for the original series and saw this on iQIYI thinking it was the original since the name and dates match and WOW was I wrong…

UH let’s see where do I begin

first of all… don’t watch it on there… whoever did those subtitles I don’t even know lol.
I speak fluent mandarin but like to have subs for reference (some of the ancient dramas have certain words that no one uses anymore)..

Now I’m pretty convinced it was a program or translate device that listened to the drama and translated it. Every word has different tones and each tone has a significant difference in what word they are… the subs on this just picked whatever was first when the program listened to the show. But it’s super random how it’s done.. some times it’s correct some times I don’t even know what they’re translating. One part was the main actress saying she’s not hua qian gu but the subtitles says but I’m flower and not flower (??)

Yeah… there are some actors that do return. SQM for one and shiyi. Then some random cameos (looks like cameos were filmed during the first season lol) but uh yeah.. hm save yourself the headache and don’t even. Or watch the first episode and last two lol.
The original is on YouTube tho.

Oh there’s also not really an ending. Just our two “reincarnated but not really” characters question themselves. And that’s a wrap lol. Good luck guys
