## Trivia

* As stated above, it was 1 of 2 first mini-series ever released as they were both released at the same time.
	+ Because they were the first mini-series, both this and Viktor's route were the first stories that did not receive their own individual story apps to download, and were exclusive to Is it Love? Stories in order to play.
* This mini series was based on the rehashed plotline of Gabriel's visit to the Asian branch of Carter Corp to help Ryan Carter build a strong relationships with the Tokyo branch of Carter Corp with that of New York's. Gabriel, along with Mark and Jenny stayed there for 1 month due to this mission. Mark's route had only one difference which was that here he was competing with the main character for the job in Chinese branch of Carter Corp, and Jenny had no attraction to Mark.
* Mark's story received a lot of controversies for being a mini series and his character being out of touch as compared to his original persona. Fans were angry that Is it Love? were lazy and discriminative towards Mark's Story.
* Mark was the last of the five original Carter Corp Love interests to get his story, which took an astonishing 7 years to come out.
* A lot of fans would have preferred Is it Love? Mark to be a full series but the team ignored the petition and plea. This happened the same with Viktor too.
* Before his story was termed as Shanghai romance, it was originally called Dad and single.
* His route was the first Carter Corp story to predominantly take place outside of New York City.
* Liang can be considered as the very first unofficial 2nd love interest.
* This is the only story route where the main love interest is married to another woman for most of the story (only to eventually divorce).
* This story has the least appearance in terms of characters, with the total being technically 6.
* This was first story route to not feature Lisa Parker as the player's best friend, and it be Jenny Blake instead.
	+ This is the only Carter Corp story to not include most of the original Carter Corp characters, except for Ryan and Lisa.
		- This is the only Carter Corp route where the player does not know Matt Ortega.
* This is the first mini series to acknowledge that it takes place in same timeline of Ryan's season 3 as Mark was 28 originally but in his story he's 31 years old.
* The story seemed to receive criticism by fans like all mini-series do regarding the pacing of romance.
* This mini-series has the least explicit secret scenes, with there only being 1 while all others had 2 to 3 explicit scenes.
* This route also started the tradition of making condoms appear from thin hair for sex despite claiming that this scene was unexpected. This joke is later followed by Cameron Cooper and Caleb Rosewood.
* Mark was supposed to be just a test run for mini-series. However, the team lied to fans and he has no hope to receive a full series like Viktor Bartholy.
* This is the first story route to feature a main character who was divorced prior to the story.
* This route features the only non-American Carter Corp main character.
* One of Mark's scenes where he cheers the player up was copied from the scene of Ryan's season, 3 chapter 3 where Mark and player from Ryan's story had to confront an angry Ryan. But the only difference here is he was amnesiac while in Mark's route he was falsely reported by Liang to not work and was spending time for leisure.
