Yeah, I also read the info that the principal thing is Zhao Yunlan as a ghost, and he meets the two boys reincarnated after ten thousand years, and it was changed because of test audience hate. I just could never remember where I got it from because it was in the early days of brain soup and hnnnnngaaa.

Which, thank you, test audiences. Seriously. I don't like the ending but at least you can do something with it. Schoolboy!Shen Wei and ghost Principal Zhao? Argh. I basically made peace with the aired ending over this. *g*

I've also always wondered if the alternate ending is the reason we don't see Bai Yu getting his wrap bouquet in the credits - if he filmed the school thing last, they might not have had footage from that that wouldn't have been weird.

The 'trying to smear ZYL' is... >.<
