everything else is just sketched in around the edges and doesn't rise to the level of a B plot.

Ah right, that totally makes sense (and also explains why I keep forgetting about the rest of it and have to remind myself, lol).

and the recurring side characters with their own subplots, and the cases of the week on top of that, all of which get more focus than any secondary plot gets in the novel, because 40 episodes of space.

Right. Yes! And also, just, the drama seems more interested in worldbuilding-related themes, and that necessarily calls for a wider focus... as you go on to say. *facepalm* *leaves this here anyway*

I don't feel like anything is disconnected because to me, it's all there in service of the Weilan plot. *g*

Gotcha. And yes, now that you say it, that makes total sense.

100%! ♥ ♥ ♥
