OK, I am back... It did take longer than hoped for to get that second part. For those who like me were away on…
You attending the festival in Paris sounds very interesting. Then I'm looking forward to read a lengthy article in the feeds about it, in your usual documented style! Bonne chance et amusez-vous bien! π€
No. 3 fish were split among the eunuch, marquis and the third enemy.ZX's father had three fish ring on him when…
maybe the third killer hasn't been introduced to this point at all. That would be bad, bc. the drama keeps are interested bc. of this guessing game, but in C-dramas, things like this may happen
the emperor can only be the masked man, no way he is the third killer. The third killer knew the ring consisting…
Oh, now I see. After watching this, my guts feeling is: this was not an "acting", the emperor was truly furious. So, we can rule him out now as a masked man, too, because the masked man knew about ZX's plan to steel the seal.
From memory he does marry some female General from either the Li or Liu family and have children from the novel…
If we are talking about shipping, I root for BaiChuan as before, the only woman who can keep in check and see through a guy using such an unorthodox means. There are no sparks with her, but this is not a romance and I don't see sparks with Ning either, just some brother-sister attachment from their childhood
emperor is the third guy and also the masked manif not the mask guy is minister of revenue and hes working for…
the emperor can only be the masked man, no way he is the third killer. The third killer knew the ring consisting of three fish and taken from ZX's father after killing him was the key to activate Gui Seal. As an emperor, he could have easily eliminated them both and keep both the box and all three fish. So, the third person is definitely not the emperor
so Kuai Dao was supposed to leave great Yong after having given the Gui seal to the king, to go where? whay if…
No. 3 fish were split among the eunuch, marquis and the third enemy. ZX's father had three fish ring on him when he was killed. Indeed, he wanted to hand it over to the Dongxia Queen, so we can only presume he wanted to flee to Dongxia with his family.
Yes. I suppose he thought it would be the best to keep the seal and its activation key (=fish ring) separated in order to avoid to be used against each other, but his killers took and split the ring and ZX has 1 fish (from the marquis)
It's strange the third man haven't ever shown up to this point... As if he/she is not after the Gui Seal at all, or... maybe knows about ZH's plans aforehand
he appeared only in last two eps. I watched them yesterday. Lord Zichuan presented him to Ning as an "advisor".…
Yesterday I've binged last 8 eps I've put on hold last year, that's probably why I can't stand her, it's too fresh. Now I am just watching ep 3/S2, handkerchief tearing scene... there are still some dumb infantile overractions, the only improvement I see is a less childish hair style... I'll try to catch up with the rest
Does anyone remember who was Ma Wei from S1? Looks like he is going to be Zichuan Xiu's love rival for Ning. I…
he appeared only in last two eps. I watched them yesterday. Lord Zichuan presented him to Ning as an "advisor". He is from a rich family, doing business everywhere, lot of connections. Ning is his childhood crash. I hope he takes Ning from Xiu... and far away from the screen π
Lord ZiChuan is not a good person, his decision is often driven by his own selfish means and gain for power. He…
It is exactly as Megumi-H said, Lord Zichuan is all about maintaining/defending his power, hiding it by playing dumb. He doesn't trust anybody, very creepy person. As for the quick black n white scenes, it is a director's choice to insert them to express what is going on in the head of the character related to the scene. It may be a flashback but it can also be an expectation. It's basically a technique to explain a certain action, given the choice of this director not to use dialogues or narrative, but only and exclusively "actions" to "tell the story". It is very hard, almost impossible, to tell the story just by using actions, almost no hints are given, that's why the S1 ended with such an unexpected cliffhanger and no prediction for what will happen in the next season.
Maybe, our ZH is not a villain either and yet, his schemes knocked down all the villains we've seen till now, who said only villains can be dark and deadly?π
If I have to chose who is darker and deadlier between the Marquis and the Eunuch, I'd chose Marquis's wife, she is truly scary... Now, we can only hope the Queen of Dongxia will live up to their combined "darkness & deadliness"...
Besides, who could be so cunning and capable?
That would be bad, bc. the drama keeps are interested bc. of this guessing game, but in C-dramas, things like this may happen

As for the 3rd killer, some1 from DX
