Saw the first 2 episodes yesterday. I'm liking what I see so far. From what I can tell, it looks like both leads have amnesia.

@creidesca

LOL. I agree. I started watching this today and thought Qin Mo was meant to have amnesia. But Yan Song doesn't remember him at all. I'm really curious who the father is. Going to see if I can find the novel to read.

My bet is that Hawick's character Qin Mo is the father.

I heard that the drama deviates from the novel (i.e. Qin Mo in the novel was Yan Song's art teacher??). That's why I'm going to read the novel after completely watching the drama.

But yea, I don't think the doctor is the father. According to the child, Yan Song was "seeing" the doctor when the child was still very little (from what his mom told him). Even Yan Song looked surprised when the DNA results came out because she knew that couldn't be correct. Could that Au Yeung guy have something to do with it?

Pretty sure Qin Mo is the father. It's definitely not the doctor.

[Mangoberrie]

Yup. Becoming more obvious now. I quite like the soundtrack. Really hate the OuYang guy after watching episode 9. 

[creidesca]

Don't know who I hate more, him or Lin Qiao.

[creidesca]

I'm confused. So Qin Mo's real name isn't really Qin Mo? I see that OuYang guy refer him to as Chen something?

[Mangoberrie]

@creidesca

Qin Mo is the new identity OuYang's subordinate created for him. Chen Bing is Qin Mo's real name.

Thanks Mangoberrie!

The scene in EP 13 when both Qin Mo and Lin Qiao were at Song Lang's school was hilarious! The teacher thought the two men were a couple

I just started on this drama and I like it so far... I already felt a family connection between Qin Mo and Yan Song and her son. They look so perfect together and I know I'll enjoy every one of their scenes... so far, I don't really care much about Lin Qiao and hope Yan Song is not hung up on him much longer lol... Anyway, the drama have a very nice feel to it and the pace is pretty good... plus I am a fan of both the leads so hopefully, it will be a happy ending for them! 

[creidesca]

Oh, I didn't expect that at all!

So Yan Song's sister (Qin Mo's wife) slept with that OuYang guy (not on purpose)! In the video she left for her Qin Mo (the one she asked him to watch in her text message before he fell into his coma years back), she tells him that the child doesn't belong to him, but OuYang's!

I hope Luo Luo's wrong! Someone seriously needs to do a DNA test.

Why do I keep wishing that Yan Song is actually Luo Luo. It would have been so much more interesting to see 2 leads with amnesia.

That's exactly what I thought, too! The reason why I am interested in this drama is because I thought both of them have amnesia...but once I found out they are actually twin, I gave up on this drama... the plot just became more and more ridiculous... so I went ahead and read the novel instead... even though I am not good with Chinese I was able to finish the novel...personally, I found the novel to be SO much better... The story is completely different and at least they don't have the twin/bad guy in the plot...

[creidesca]

Saw the ending...the Double Life of Veronique seems to refer more to Qin Mo/Chen Bin than to Yan Song/Luo Luo.

Really loved Hawick's role...hope to see him do this type of role more often.

Hello there. Did you ever finish this drama, Mangoberrie? I can't seem to find a recap of this drama or even a few reviews.. debating whether or not I should watch. 

Update: found the reviews under another title of this drama. I was using the second name instead so I had no results.

You can PM the spoilers if you have finished.

And as for the spoilers.. I found it.. Thank goodness I don't have to waste 40 hours of my life...-_____--
