the end of episode 4 was thrillering (for the murder part) but also hella cute for the part where ML trying so hard to take FL to safety while she insists on facing the situation. It felt as if the distance and guard they had against each other was gone for those minute.

I don't know why but it feels much worse to see FL suffering due to all the female characters in the drama and they all belong to the same clan too, I don't know why they are trying to undermine the seriousness of the things that are happening to her just so that they can gain more leverage for the clan!

In episode 3, and doubting if ML has memories from his past life cause why would he react that comically if he got another hint about the FL being a spy (the painting of the landscape). His focus on FL seems more than just his mission.

I really really want the ML to also have memories of his past life, Blossom and princess royal were just too good of an example where both leads have their memories and the impact it can have on the plot (so much unnecessary drama is thrown out of the window while their chemistry sky rockets).

5 minutes into the drama and I am already mesmerized by how pretty Jing Tian looks. Also, I think that ML didn't actually mean to hit FL, because of the expression of shock he made when she turned around. Hope the misunderstanding is not dragged for too long.

People: they are just fictional characters why take them seriously.
Me: *praying that the kid survives through the whole plot*

In episode 3, liking it so far. ML is cold but caring and gentle (it shouldn't work but strangely it does with him), while FL is resilient but shy and introverted. My favorite parts so far are the scenes where she accidently speaks something too strange for the ML to handle and he goes like "are you speaking your mind or what?" (she gives a heartattack whenever she does that).

I have some problems with today's episode, don't judge me first, just hear me out. Even though the misunderstanding lasted 2 days at most and was smoothly handled. But how is it okay that they just assumed things about ML and never tried asking him at the very least (or anyone else in the hospital). The FL started avoiding him, calling him names, and 2FL encouraged FL even more and made ML look worse. The 2ML was rather professional, even during the meeting, he made sure ML was comfortable, as even though ML is FL's friend, he is still an expert who will work with them. And what's the deal with 2FL (kind of how FL is too) she too overheard a conversation, accused 2ML of things in her mind, got jealous on her own, got offended when he asked, avoided him when he is treating her well like WTH. Their story is so much simpler than FL and ML all they need is to sit and talk a freaking 5-10 min talk will fix most of their problems, that too with confession included.

FL is hilarious😂, she should have asked the ML about the child's situation. From the looks of it episode 10 will be where ML will confront her about this😂 can't wait to see how she handles the situation (although her reaction and preview of ep9 say volumes about her feelings, she better accept them after this). Eagerly waiting for the next episode.

So, what do we get to learn from episode 4? If you want to win over Ban Ju Yeon buy him choco milk😂😂. I like how they made his character so innocent even after what he has been and is going through. I guess they are trying to convey that we should never suppress our inner child.

don't tell me its gonna be like till episode 9 that the ML will investigate independently without FL knowledge. And at the end he be like "I found the law or you are not the witch" and she smiles or something and the drama ends. It better not be like that, because I really want them to end up together and see the life of FL where everything is brighter like we see in ML's perspective (her perspective is shown a bit gloomy and dark) and ML is now with her while his life's obsession is now finally solved he would live a bit more for himself (he is too distant for his own life while too caring about other's).

with the frequency and intensity of the injuries that the ML is incurring I wonder if he will last even half the drama😂.

I think both FL and SFL are have formidable intelligence, while one has a knack for investigation the other knows how to handle politics. Han Muzhi lack political flexibility which causes a lot of problems for him and will hinder his political tenure, SFL is a panacea to his situation. Similarly, FL is to stern and doesn't think out of the box (meaning creatively) while ML being an avid reader lacks intelligence but is too creative, plus FL's nature makes ML work harder for his own growth while ML's presence gives FL the warmth she lacked all her life. I think the writer made good matches although I still don't like the way FL and SML broke off (there should have been more convincing reasons for that).

Update from episode 16: it's over, everything that could happen has happened but the conclusion FL decided was SML. At this point,t I believe whatever the author does there is very little chance that FL and ML pairing will seem convincing if it were to happen in the future (if it will happen that is). Also, even if it does happen won't it be darn awkward for the ML to explain that he is marrying someone, who his former associate proposed in front of a lot of people in a desperate life-and-death situation while the girl in question seemed to reciprocate?

Well, episodes 12-13 made me see ML in a new light, I thought he was too innocent, but the way he reacted to FL's and SML's situation, encouraging him, scolding him, while also keeping himself within the boundary. Now he seems even more like a side character who gives up but helps the leads till the end😂. Although, his way of doing things is less refined his thoughts are pure and clear than everyone else.

I guess ML won't be getting the girl in this one (I am judging way too early), in episode 10, it's pretty clear FL and SML are a done deal while ML isn't even worth a supporting character in her life yet. But I liked how he doesn't give an F about her status, he is a good, naive, and sunshine type, but I guess that isn't FL's type in this one. If they are still going to get paired together I hope the author doesn't make it feel like she settled for him like it should seem natural, (I did like how they were together this whole time but considering how calmly she reacted and reasoned why him going away is a better off deal for both of them screams their care is not mutual in that way at all.)

One locks the other in the mortuary, while the other gives "the medicine" to take revenge😂😂. The way ML pretends to faint to avoid facing FL or the embarrassing situation reminds me of Princess Lin An from the Guardians of Dafeng.

ML is the only character who lightens up the mood of the drama the way he is a naive, bookworm-style innocent thinker, who is curious but also plays pranks while being humbled repeatedly by our FL. Them together is like watching a bad cop good cop pairing.

I am at episode 1, the moment 2ML gave FL a name, rang catastrophe-level alarms in my ears. That's not how you design a 2ML, that's something for ML or FL (if the roles were reversed in gender) to do. I can bet that people are going to be obsessed with the FL and 2ML pairing while despising ML because it seems he is going to play a dumb scholar or spoilt-child type character considering the type of misunderstanding between ML and FL.
although the cold character and naive sunshine-type couple pairing is my cup of tea I am good. I hope the writer doesn't take his naiveness or the misunderstandings (future ones included) too far, making him unlikable.

I hope they give us season 2 fast!!!! the whole ending seemed rushed meaning a lot will be explained in the season 2 or a lot will happen in it. It feels really bad that they all forgot about him but its obvious that the spell will either end giving all of them their memories back or our ML will remain in the real world instead where we will meet the FL and maybe the other people too (similar to how he meet her in the illusion). But 1 thing for sure is that we might not get most of our beloved cast in the S2 as the story will take place in another state. Hope we get a happy ending with all of them alive and well at the end.
Hope we get the S2 near the end of this year if the shooting is already over or else we might not get it for the next 2-3 years.
