Marred by a terrible ending

There are some stories for which an unsatisfactory ending can be forgiven, but this isn't one of them. So much of the story depends on a solid ending that really resolves everything. Instead, we are treated to an mindboggling ending that leaves us with a few huge question marks.

My guess is that censorship laws with regard to time travel interfered with the ending, so instead of being someone who is transported back in time, the explanation is that the main character Zhang Hai Feng, is merely creating false memories to ease the pain of losing his child. At least this was as much sense as I could make from the ending. The ending reminds me of Psych Hunter's unsatisfactory ending, but at least in Psych Hunter, the idea of entering someone's subconscious is featured prominently from the start.

It's a shame that the ending is so bad because the story is quite good for about ten or eleven episodes, and the acting is overall quite good. Casting Lu Han as Zhao Bin Bin was a good choice. Because he doesn't at all look villainous, the ambiguity and mystery in the character is nicely brought out. I doubt there would be a sequel or a special cut that will save the story, so we are left with something that is likely to disappoint even the most forgiving viewer.
