I know some viewers felt the first episode of SWAK was too fast and a little incoherent, but I personally love Episode 1. It sets up the intricate relationship between the different characters and shows the inner turmoil Tong Xue faces as the secret mistress of a rich married man. The drama begins with a dream of Tong Xue walking into a blue-roofed beach house and a man inside the house orders her to strip naked in front of him. Before anything else is shown, she wakes up from her nightmare in cold sweat. When she steps out of her room, we see that Tong Xue lives quite luxuriously in a nice house with cleaning maids, a housekeeper, and a dog caretaker. She asks Housekeeper Ding when Mo Shaoqian plans to come back. Ding replies that she doesn't know since he hasn't called to inform her.

Are you unsatisfied and frustrated with the final episode? Expected a happily ever after? Apparently, the scriptwriter succeeded in getting us all hooked onto this series for 28 episodes and suddenly bombarded us with a really CRAPPY open ending. My reaction when I first finished watching the final shot of Mo Shaoqian  walking lonely toward the police station was like this...   I so expected the last scene to be the novel's ending where Tong Xue cried at the airport, and not Shaoqian at the police station!  At minimum, I think they should have put Shaoqian's police station scene before Tong Xue's airport scene. Then show us Shaoqian at the airport watching Tong Xue's cries from a distance, as described in the epilogue. To cure my poorly frustrated mood, I rushed to reread the dreamily happy epilogue that the author wrote for Sealed with a Kiss novel. After reading various analyses by different viewers online and the scriptwriter's comments about the endin...

As we all know, every mainland Chinese drama and non-Chinese TV series that gets aired in China are reviewed by the almighty State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT). Apparently, there were some sensitive scenes in this drama that SARFT didn't approve and were cut from the main series. Hunan TV also deleted some footage as well to shorten the drama. So far, only two cut scenes are available for viewing. I'm not sure if Hunan TV is going to release more for us to watch. I'm praying they will!!

For those of you curious about what happened to Mo ShaoQian and Tong Xue after the drama ended, you can read the happy epilogue to the novel titled "My Sweet Life with QinShou ." Part 1 consisted of 12 short anecdotes and Part 2 has 7 short anecdotes. *** Download original novel in Chinese *** My Sweet Life with “QinShou” Part 1 by Fei Wo Si Cun Translated by JoleCole Note: Qinshou literally means animal or beast in Chinese. TongXue secretly gives this nickname to Mo ShaoQian because he’s like an uninhibited beast in bed, a deep contrast to Mo Shaoqian’s usual composed and cold exterior.
