Depressive Screenwriter

"If the ratings for the sixth episode rebound, then this drama will enter a period of rapid growth in viewership until the end."

"Are you so sure?" Ayami Shinozaki asked doubtfully.

"I'm sure," Su Yan said.

Because in his previous life, when he played the 'To the Moon' game, he was about to run out of patience around this point.

The pixel game graphics weren't good, the text content was boring, and there were plenty of excellent works on the market, so why should he waste time suffering through this?

But he just persisted a little bit more...

He saw the true face of this work with a plot that he would never forget for many years.

Su Yan always believed that he had a mainstream taste.

If he felt this way in his previous life, then the audience in this world should feel the same.

Mid-February, Saturday.

Gao Jing started waiting in front of Sakura TV after watching 'Crimson Magician'.

Seeing many of Su Yan's fans on the internet posting comments that the drama was too slow-paced and a bit boring, soon, it was nine o'clock.

As a fan of Su Yan, although he hadn't noticed any advantages of 'To the Moon' compared to 'Ancient Love Poetry' and 'Rurouni Kenshin',

He was waiting for that opportunity.

The opportunity for Su Yan to ignite this drama like he created 'Rurouni Kenshin' and 'Ancient Love Poetry'.

He believed that Su Yan's drama would definitely not be like what those media outlets were criticizing, something unplanned and written on a whim.

He also believed that the foreshadowing in the first five episodes must have a reason.

If there was no reason, it was purely because he had this kind of blind faith in Su Yan.

Soon, the theme song for the sixth episode of 'To the Moon' on Sakura TV began.

At the beginning of this episode, Dr. Cheng Li and Dr. Shen Yi finally broke through the memory barrier. Through the smell of a dead squirrel, they guided out Xu Han's childhood memories and had the equipment construct them.

The opening scene was a tragic car accident...

A mother backed up her car and ran over her child, killing him.

The scene was bloody and tragic.

And beside him, another child witnessed his brother's misfortune, crying his heart out beside his brother's body.

Gao Jing's pupils dilated.

Holy crap, what's going on?

Isn't this a romance drama?

And that surviving child...

Is that Xu Han?

Did he have a deceased twin brother in his childhood?

And his brother's name was "Xu Qiao"?

The drama opened with tragedy.

The death of his brother Xu Qiao caused Xu Han to have mental problems.

In order to treat Xu Han's psychological shadow of seeing his brother die, his mother gave him β-blockers, making him forget all his memories before his childhood, forgetting...

That he had a brother named Xu Qiao.

But the mother couldn't forget the tragedy she caused. Instead, her own mental state gradually deteriorated. From then on, she often looked at Xu Han's face and called out the name of her dead brother, Xu Qiao...

However, Xu Han, who had forgotten everything, didn't know why his mother called him that.

Seeing this, Gao Jing felt a bit suffocated.

No wonder Xu Han's childhood memories couldn't be constructed.

No wonder, when Xu Han and Xiao Xi got married...

His mother came to the wedding, but called "Xu Han" "Xu Qiao."

His mother was raising Xu Han as a substitute for the dead Xu Qiao.

Gao Jing couldn't bear this kind of family tragedy. Just imagining Xu Han's childhood felt depressing.

But the plot continued to jump, and the two doctors who knew the truth continued to delve deeper into Xu Han's childhood after remaining silent.

Only then did they discover that the mother was biased towards the two brothers even before Xu Qiao died.

Harsh towards Xu Han, doting on Xu Qiao.

They also discovered that Xu Qiao's favorite book during his lifetime was called 'Transformation Warrior'.

Gao Jing's heart contracted even more.

If he remembered correctly, Xu Han's mother gave her son "Transformation Warrior" as a wedding gift at the wedding.

She also said that this book was Xu Han's favorite book when he was a child.

However, Xu Han was very confused because he had never read 'Transformation Warrior'. How could his favorite book when he was a child be a book he had never read?

"This is too pitiful, right?" Gao Jing was almost tearing up.

He witnessed his brother being run over and killed by his mother, had a psychological shadow, and couldn't live a normal life. Then, his biased mother gave him medicine to make him forget his childhood and raised him as his dead brother.

Even the object of his mother's wedding blessing to him was Xu Qiao, who had been dead for decades, not Xu Han, who was truly alive and had been accompanying his mother.

The saddest thing was that Xu Han never knew that his mother's love for him was given to his brother Xu Qiao, who had already died and whom he didn't remember at all.

The plot continued to advance.

In Xu Han's childhood memories, his brother Xu Qiao always protected him before he died.

The two confided their dreams to each other in their room.

Xu Qiao shared a portion of what his mother favored him with to take care of him with his brother Xu Han.

He would also share the toys that his mother specially bought only for him with Xu Han.

He would secretly give Xu Han the delicacies that his mother only bought for him.

And he said to him with a warm smile.

【I know Mom is biased. But listen, Xu Han, what difference does it make who owns what between the two of us?】

【Everything I own is also yours...toys, little trains, everything, we can play together.】

【We...】

【Are twin brothers!】

The ending song started.

At this moment, Gao Jing's heart was touched.

When the little boy in the drama said this sentence with a smile, an indescribable feeling of emotion arose in him.

That's why Xu Han couldn't accept witnessing his brother's death and had to take β-blockers to live a normal life.

He didn't resent his mother's bias, nor did he resent his brother who stole his mother's love.

Instead, he loved them so deeply...

Until that tragedy deprived him of all memories and all love for his brother.

And completely made his already mentally unstable mother forget that her son Xu Han was still alive. She only raised him as a substitute for the dead Xu Qiao.

This, isn't this drama a romance drama?

How could it suddenly become so angsty in the family part?

Gao Jing thought he was prepared.

Xiao Xi was already dead, and Xu Han was on the verge of death.

What risks could there be in exploring the stories in his memories? It's just presenting the things that have already happened to the audience.

But at this moment, his nose was sore, and there were tears in his eyes.

After watching this drama for six weeks, he, who had empathized with Xu Han, felt sad for this old man who was about to die for the first time.

Until he died, he didn't even know that he had a brother in his childhood.

Besides the two doctors in the drama, besides them, the audience in front of the TV...

Xu Han didn't even know that his mother had always loved his dead brother, not him...

Su Yan, you old fox, you really know how to depict tragic fates!

Gao Jing listened to the ending song of 'To the Moon' with some distress, waiting for the preview content of the seventh episode of 'To the Moon'.

Many drama viewers don't have the patience to wait for these at all.

But Gao Jing was different.

Soon, the preview content of the seventh episode appeared.

A beautiful, romantic scene suddenly appeared.

A deep blue night sky, a yellow moon.

The back of a little boy and a little girl sitting on a tree stump.

A breeze stroked their hair, stroking the corners of their clothes.

The girl gently opened her mouth.

"What do you think those stars represent?"

"What if you forget or get lost?"

A riddling preview.

Although there was no evidence...

But at this moment, Gao Jing, and not all the audience watching the sixth episode of 'To the Moon', had a strong premonition in their hearts.

That girl sitting beside the childhood Xu Han with her back to everyone...

Is Xiao Xi!

Could it be...

That the real meeting point between Xu Han and Xiao Xi wasn't in middle school, but...

In childhood?

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to everyone.
