Episode 10 was a blast. However, the last two episodes have reflected a major problem of the show-editing, but like the previous analysis, I put the Tucao part at the end, and first focus on the time issue of the strange space.
At the end of episode 9/episode 10 (because it was mixed), by browsing the video data on the movie computer, King Gong finally discovered the fact that Li Lin is not old, (before he only speculated that Li Lin was not dead, but he kept putting him As an old man in his 70s) and infer that the reason why Li Lin is not old is because he consumes time in the strange space, and the speed of the passage of time in the strange space and the outside world is not the same.
The strange space first appeared in the fifth episode. When King Gong brought Taiyi to the empire, he passed the strange space on his way from the bamboo forest to the horse farm. So where is the exact location of the strange space? Is it the way from the bamboo forest to the racecourse? or somewhere else? The strange space can only be opened by those who hold the Siphon? The empire has a strange space, but does the Republic have it? Now it seems that the Republic of China should not have.
There, King Gong said that 1 minute in the strange space is equivalent to 1 hour outside.
In episode 9, Taiyi recalled that when King Gon was in the Republic of China, Taiyi asked King Gon if he had come to the end of the strange space, King Gon said no, and then again emphasized that 1 day there is equivalent to 2 months outside.
The two time conversions are exactly the same. In the singular space: 1 day = 24x60 minutes = 1440 minutes, which is equivalent to 1440 hours of outside time, 1440/24 = 60 days = 2 months
Many details in the play also show that Li Lin will adjust the time after each time crossing the two worlds. In the fourth episode, Li Lin traveled from the empire to the Republic of China, and adjusted his pocket watch for nearly an hour in the car (1:25->2:15);
At the beginning of the ninth episode, Li Lin traveled from the empire to the Republic of China, and adjusted his pocket watch for nearly an hour in the car (12:25->1:25).
In other words, due to the need to travel, Li Lin experienced a strange space in the process of traveling, which took 1 minute, and 1 hour in the outside world. That is to say, every time he crosses, Li Lin is one hour younger than the world around him. However, please note that these two time adjustments happened from the Empire to the Republic of China. Does the Republic of China to the Empire follow the same rules? Did the director and the screenwriter happen to arrange this detail on the same occasion, or did the foreshadowing of the Republic of China and the Empire actually be different? Thinking that the strange space seems to exist only in the empire at present, that is, this time difference only occurs when crossing from the empire to the Republic of China? In addition, is this also the case when King Gong crosses? There is never a scene where King Gon adjusts the time in the plot, but there is a scene where time is still when King Gun travels through, so I tend to think it should be the same.
From the assassination of the late king at the end of 1994 to the beginning of 2020, Li Lin's age has hardly changed. Assuming that his natural age has only increased by 5 years (because he still has to do something in the world on both sides), he is 20 years younger. How long does Li Lin need to stay in the strange space? 20x12=240 months, the 2 months outside is equivalent to 1 day in the strange space, that is, 240/2=120 days = 4 months, which means that he has stayed in the strange space for 4 months, and the outside is already 20 It's been a horrible year!
Let's review again, after King Gong discovered the fact that Li Lin was immortal on the computer, he said: "There are ten days until New Year's Eve, and I only have five hours."
This year's New Year's Eve is January 24th, which means that King Gong's date at that time is January 14th at 5:10 pm. King Gong must come back on New Year's Eve to attend the New Year's ceremony. Why are there only 5 hours in ten days? As above, we can calculate that 10 days in the outside world = 10x24 hours = 240 hours, which is equivalent to 240 minutes in the singular space, that is, 4 hours. If we also count the time of New Year's Eve, it is slightly more than 4 hours. In other words, King Gong intends to go to the strange space for 4-5 hours, perhaps to test this idea. In fact, how long did King Gong stay? When King Gong came back, Lushang Palace clearly replied that on January 23, King Gong went for 9 days, 9x24=216 hours, which is equivalent to 216 minutes or 3.6 hours in the strange space. Gong Wang Chima ran in the strange space for more than 3 hours. In addition, the sky given by King Gong when he galloped his horse, and the lens of the light on the water bowl showed that the time was from afternoon to evening. Maybe King Gong also controls time according to the changes in the sky in the strange space, because he said before that his watch will not move in the strange space. Then, Taiyi waited in the bamboo forest of the Republic of China until King Gong, who was galloping out of the horse. Here, the understanding of the plot is somewhat vague. Did King Gun run directly from the strange space to the bamboo forest of the Republic of China? Or did King Gong go to the bamboo forest of the empire because he missed Taiyi after spending a few hours in the strange space, and then passed through the pillar of time in the bamboo forest? According to the explanation of the shot of the balloon floating out of the bamboo forest, I tend to think that King Gong has been galloping in the strange space, and he came to the bamboo forest of the Republic of China after running. In other words, one end of the strange space is the bamboo forest of the Empire, and the other end is the bamboo forest of the Republic of China. Of course, there are also places that are difficult to explain, because King Gong has also mentioned many times that the strange space is very large, and it is difficult to run to the end. Is it possible to get there by riding a horse for more than 3 hours?
Finally, let's take a look at the location where Li Lin crossed. Episode 10 King Gong stood in the corridor of the palace and found that the time stopped (that is, at the end of Episode 9) and immediately deduced that Li Lin had crossed from the Republic of China to the empire, and then rushed to the bamboo forest. From the dialogue, we can infer that the bamboo forest It has been 17 days since Li Lin's troops have been deployed, but there is no trace of anyone, so it can be inferred that Li Lin did not travel through the bamboo forest, so where did Li Lin travel? At this time, something incomprehensible appeared in the plot, and King Gong immediately asked: "Is there a shortcut to reach Haeundae without going through the palace?"
Why did King Gong suddenly go to Haeundae? King Gong did not have the tradition of going to Haeundae in the New Years over the years. How did he know that Li Lin must be in Haeundae? I don't know if there was a plot that mentioned Haeundae and gave hints. Hope that the details of the expert guidance.
In terms of time, in order to respond to the previous time shuttle problem, the screenwriter further laid a foreshadowing, that is, the video date shows the little boy playing yo-yo at the door of the bookstore on May 27, 2022 and Taiyi who walked in front of him at that time. The screenwriter finally started to fill in the time hole. Here is a rough guess about the plot direction. Many bean friends speculate that King Gong has entered the time loop for various reasons. Judging from the preview of episode 11, it may be to save Taiyi. Judging from the video footage, Taiyi is alive in 2022, that is, even if there is a time loop, Taiyi was successfully rescued, and this loop point was also broken. Boldly speculate, at the end of the plot, Luna went to the Republic of China to replace Taiyi's identity. Taiyi came to the empire and became the queen, and the passage of the Republic of China empire was closed. :)
Also, in episode 10, Rong-kun was killed by Li Lin as I expected. However, Li Lin has no plans to replace him at all. It seems that he is going to confront King Gong head-on. At this point, the conspiracy has become a conspiracy. And this episode finally made it clear that Bu Rongjun's son is the bookstore owner, (corrected after episode 12: it's not the bookstore owner! The bookstore owner is Li Lin's subordinate) At the same time, a group photo of Bu Rongjun's family and King Gong and Bu Rong Jun's dialogue also seems to imply that the psychiatrist of the Republic of China and the daughter of Bu Rongjun are corresponding. This is also a big problem in this play. A bunch of supporting roles have been arranged, but many of them have no relationship with the plot so far. For example, if the role of a psychiatrist is not written, it will have no effect on the plot at present. I don't know if Jin Bian can finally realize the gathering of these huge character groups in the plot.
Finally, I have to rant about the editing. The rhythm of the ninth episode slowed down again, and a lot of past situations appeared in the editing. At the end, the speed suddenly increased, and a lot of shots were cut each other. It was only in the tenth episode that I realized that it was a mixed cut with the first half of the tenth episode. This operation has occurred before, at least that time, it did not affect the understanding, but this time, because the mixed-cut timeline was constantly disrupted, it affected the understanding too much. In the end, Taiyi saw King Gong crying to death, which was completely incompatible with the previous mood scene, so that I, who was originally a very low cry, was completely indifferent, and could not substitute for the feelings of the heroine at all. Fortunately, I watched the panel discussion and found that I was not the only one. I don't know if the 20-minute plot will be omitted in the 11th episode. . . Alas, what did you say you were in a hurry for when editing? ? So it's no wonder that ratings continue to drop. :(
