I've been holding back comments...she probably has already watched the rest of the season already but ill wait until the last episode to expect any kind of reversal.
What lakan has is called facial Blindness which is unfortunately a real thing, so he replaces those faces with game pieces so he could in some way recognize those he interacts with except maomao because she is his daughter. P.s it was very hard to hear u talk about lakan in a such away, I don't blame u since that's exactly what the show was aiming for and makes the twist even better and very well executed in the next ep. I want a lakan apology video after watching next ep becus he don't deserve it.
