Some people have attention span of a gold fish or are watching dramas in the background. Obviously they can't help but misunderstand and take things out of context.
This drama's characters turned out to be pretty nuanced and it rewards those who were paying attention with references to previous episodes.

I wonder whether I'll be able to find where to watch it.

Just like that acupuncture bs and eating tigers balls.
Thankfully they also practiced herbal medicine, which actually could help.

There’s really nothing divisive about it, he did the right thing. And it was FL who started spouting bs to hurt him. Some people simply weren’t paying attention. Some people are simply hypocritical and can’t accept the role reversal here. And some people wanted him to allow FL to exact bloody revenge, even if it cost her her life.

Not for FL, but for consort Shu this time. But people were really dumb back then, believing in all sorts of omens. Even ML, while not believing that celestial bodies' movements can bring calamities by themselves, throws coins for luck divination and gives excuses why he can’t even open a liquor jar 😂

Somebody obviously is digging under Consort Shu so that she’d lose favor with the emperor. Pretty elaborate.

Hmm, I wonder where it will be uploaded for the West.

So are we getting the rest of the episodes tomorrow or not?

It's just a trope at this point, lol.

Another one taking sentences out of context. Some of you guys really can’t pay attention or understand what characters are actually saying or their intentions , lol.

Btw, I think ML got sick not only because FL ditched him. The guy was working non stop for half a month with little rest to update the celestial calendar to gain merit. He wasn’t feeling well when he finished it. Add to that what happened later and you get exhaustion turned mental breakdown. The guy was just sleeping it off, lol.

Yea, I'm still waiting for FL father's official pardon. It better be mentioned, or I'll be pissed off.

Btw, isn't it ridiculous as a premise that one guy can kill a hundred servants in a mansion and they all let him like cows for slaughter, instead of running away from the mansion? They weren't killed in their sleep to make it believable. Nobody even questioned this at all. They could have at least burned the place down to make it more believable and cover their tracks.
Another thing, with so many soldiers there actually doing the killings, it's kinda ridiculous that FL or her mentor couldn't find any of them later to testify. Did the villain ordered all of them killed later?
And third, it's kinda ridiculous that soldiers were running around at night and nobody saw anything except for ML and his father. No neighbours or passers by.
I guess the villain cleaned up after himself well behind the scenes. But for such a smart guy he sure looked like a dumbass giving that cliche villain exposition and gloating while FL was fighting his goons.

Man, you just didn't get that dialogue at all.

This here is a dark series. I love these sad women's tales, personally. Quite realistic, because it's relevant even today.

Also, FL didn't have any concrete evidence here. If she killed the guy, the only evidence left would be her's and ex-army guy's testimony that they heard the villain's confession. And it's not a fact that the ex-army guy would have stayed to tell it though, as he is wanted. FL was already not in good graces with the emperor concerning this, so I'm sure he wouldn't have believed her this time either. But keeping the villain alive allowed the emperor to hear the confession from the horse's mouth, so to speak.

In the first case FL would have likely been severly punished for murdering a high ranking official, maybe even executed, with her father's honor not restored. ML was right in stopping her, even though he got so much flak for it. It's gonna take time and patience again from him to turn the stubborn FL around.

In the second case, she just got a slap on the wrist for poisoning the nobles.

Don't worry, you'll see it way earlier.

That's just such a weird take on ML and you've taken a sentence ouf context.
First, FL was angry and started lying right off the bat to him in that dialogue to push him away.
Second, what she did really looked like she didn't love him and used ML and the wedding to exact her bloody revenge. He got hurt and believed her lies. It was clear nothing he would have said would sway FL. He asked if she really thought he was that petty of a person to worry about the marriage ruining his family's honor and then accepted what she implied and left. But none of that was true, you thinking he was worried about this is nuts.

Btw, for those who were paying attention - the leads saying they don't owe each other anything now is a reference to an earlier episode. ML there said that people owing each other is normal and is part of developing a relationship. Now we're back to square one with FL cutting ties to him and her friends at the Bureau. She doesn't want to hurt people for her sake, but ends up hurting them anyway, lol.

Don't listen to the other guys, there's romance here. It's slow and ramps up in later episodes. The leads were even planning to get married in ep 28. But then some things happened.
But it's not a romance focused drama, it's a mystery detective series.
