wait a minute, doesn't one of the ministers on the ship with ML look awfully similar to his previous silver gong supervisor??

I watched the teasers, and finally, the scene where they start dating is here in episode 34😭. FL is so adamant about chasing after him in that scene. She is running, chasing. She clears out the boat and starts rowing towards him. While ML is freaking worried, drops the sails and jumps into the water trying to get to her. Oh man, I can't😭😭.

Oh man oh man, the illusory formation part was so good. It was maybe around 5 minutes long, but it made me feel all kinds of emotions, especially the part where ML gives up on his police academy dream to make money for his mother's hospital bills, and his dating era with FL was so well directed and the portrayals were so on point. It was as if I too was in the illusory formation because it felt like I had watched a whole drama in the span of 5 minutes. This episode gave me a fascinating new experience even though I have been watching dramas for years.

ML -> royal princess
ML's brother -> daughter of the prime minister

I won't be surprised if ML's sister ends up with the crown prince😂, can't even guess the match for his youngest sibling😂.

oh my god, our FL really is the most pampered one in the royal family😂😂. The way her sister made sure of her safety while our FL was on the run. I laughed so hard when Grand Princess's guard explained the whole trip and the way those soldiers rejoiced when FL finally reached her destination😂😂. Our cute little innocent FL should always be well-protected🙂‍↕️ good work guys.

(also, ML and his family (-1) moving to another house bought a package of disasters😂 first his brother, then his brother's love life, and now our princess😂)

The funeral part seemed unnecessary to me other than the fact that it felt so reassuring seeing how many people cared about the ML and to what extent they could go for him, maybe later down the plot, we will know this part's meaning (I hope so). We still don't know FL's reaction, maybe she didn't receive any news, considering she is on the run from the royal family while traveling to her heart's content she might not even be able to return (let's see how it goes).

The good times are now over, soon we will have only one episode a day😭😭 with 2 episodes once in a while. Why can't cdramas give us 2 episodes daily😭 why the wait!!!!!

this drama is superb, a gift for the farewell of 2024 and to welcome 2025. After watching Blossom, When the Phone Rings, and Story of the Pearl Girl, I thought about how long it takes for another good drama to show up. But it did and it did quickly. The first 4 episodes give a picture that it's a dark comedy with a lot of humor but is not restricted by it rather it also has fantasy elements, a mysterious plot, a power struggle, and a lot of fighting scenes. The portrayal is also good so far I liked all the characters, especially the moments where they switch from funny to their serious selves. Instead of feeling odd about it, the transitions in these moments felt natural. Although the pacing is all over the place maybe cause they want to end the intro part and move into the main story they also don't want any character to be left out. I am excited about when and how he will join the guardians and how he will meet the FL.

wait, so they have a patient with a bomb (12 minutes left) and somehow everyone is calm as hell. It felt like "oh, wait there is another one today. Gosh, let me handle it"🤣. Their expression or the tension (which wasn't built at all) didn't match with the dialogue at all, it made it all so bland. Hope the dramas become better moving forward.

FL's stepmother to her daughter: a noble lady should not engage in such despicable business.
*proceeds to give her daughter money earned through illegal high-interest loans banned by court*
me: (≖_≖ ) (≖_≖ ) (≖_≖ ) (≖_≖ )

It feels good to see that even though everyone had doubts about FL, ML was the only one who not even once considered the scenario where she could be the culprit. It gave off, "Even if the world stands against you I will gladly walk over to your side" vibes (although the situation wasn't that extreme but it just felt peaceful).

It was like she knew we have only 2 episodes left so she was like let's skip the drama for everyone's sake😂

No, she is not going to get married to anyone other than ML. It's just that the progression of this part of the story doesn't align with how FL was portrayed until now, which is why I wrote the comment.

SML's approach was too extreme and not well thought out, while FL's approaches till now are from dumb fantasy comic books. I guess the only way would be a royal order or ML snatching the bride😂 well both work for me so😂😂.

wait so they want us to believe that our Dou Zhao, the "Dou Zhao" who can predict everyone's move, plans meticulously ahead so many steps that she nearly never loses ends up somehow using the most basic of tactics and fails even at that. And if anyone here says she was successful only because she can see the future, let me tell you she like any other person would only know surface-level things of even the most famous events it's a miracle that she even remembers so many things from her previous life. So, basically, she is the one who gets her intel, predicts what will actually transpire, gets things arranged, and executes. The future only gives her the conclusion she is the one who rights the story.

I was watching the wedding scene and somehow it felt as if ML's mom predicted what would happen.

I guess I should really start watching the whole episode before commenting😂. They dropped a bombshell at the end, 💪go FL go💪, I thought he would back out and we will have to make another season just to get a proper confession but no FL was like F____ it😂.

I don't know about anything else but the way ML looked at FL when the photo was being taken screamed love!!! I am still unsure about them ending up together given the pacing maybe at the end he will return to the island and then maybe we will get a scene where there is a match notification and that turns out to be FL. I am not sure just guessing. Hope they end up together and we have at least 1 episode of them together.

[edit]
Just saw the scene where ML asks FL to hold hands and she just hands her hand out without even asking anything. Love how comfortable they are since the start of the drama.

I know FL doesn't have an option here but can't she just even though it might not happen at least say to the yang's that she is willing to marry the ML? The pact would still count, and although the yang's don't like the ML, it's still a more profitable deal because they will get a hold of both ML and FL, he will be bound as his family helped FL and even in the future she will need their resources, while FL is bounded by marriage. So, in short, they will have the brocade officer and the future brocade master while also getting both their rebellious selves under control. I am ranting because i really didn't like when FL said, "We missed our chance", why the hell? it was just a one-time effort it doesn't even count as a chance rather right now is a chance that she is actually out on missing. Also, even though he is not in the city who actually even needs to know if he is not here? closed marriage with trusted people is all they need to portray. Plus considering the situation if their is just engagement not even a marriage the intervention of yang family in FL's family would still make sense. I just don't like the fact that the writer will make ML fight his damn family to marry FL and that too will look like he is forcing her into it, if not than he will live a good part of this series looking at her while she is married to his brother, both the cases kind of feel really off putting.

one thing I noticed is that this drama is one of those rare ones where everything is against what FL and ML want to achieve right from the start. Most dramas usually give a grace period before introducing tragedies but here every episode has either a hostage, a person who is killed, someone is imprisoned, or something wrong is happening in FL's or ML's family. I want to see their wedding happening soon I don't know when but if someone can predict based on the progress please tell me.
