This episode clearly set the footing for the next phase. Even if I loved the romance scenes and the incredible chemistry between our leads, the world around them and beyond is in turmoil.Firstly, we finally heard the Grandfather's secret. To no surprise, it turns out Chang Yu's father wasn't his biological son. Da-da-da-daaam!Secondly, Wei Sheng’s organized killings of citizens are specifically designed to rile people up, turning them against each other and starting riots. At this point, I actually hope Qi Min will intervene to help Yu Qianqian, but that man and his intentions are still a total mystery to me.Thirdly, Xie Zheng has revealed his intentions to leave.Everything is changing; tension between factions is growing, and all the major figures are trying to make their moves at once. It’s inevitably leading to a massive clash. I’m waiting for tomorrow’s episodes—the drama is unfolding, and I want to be right there in the front row!

This episode was such an emotional rollercoaster! I was terrified for Chang Yu, Zheng, and little Ning the whole time.At first, they sent Chang Yu to prison based only on her aunt's accusations, without any real evidence. Then we learned that the Fan house was attacked, with Zheng and Ning nowhere to be found. Luckily, they managed to escape and were hiding in the forest, freezing. I bet Ning was so scared, but she didn't panic or show it. Such a brave little girl!Thanks to Zheng, waves—literally waves—of assassins were killed with masterful skill. All his moves held such grace and flawless accuracy; considering he was still healing and not at full strength, it felt truly EPIC!Meanwhile, thanks to Constable Wang, Chang Yu was released from prison and rushed to find her sister and husband—finding them just in time and making her first-ever human kill.Everything that happened next was just as tense: Zheng is back to the state he was in in episode one, Chang Yu's hands won't stop shaking, and they cannot return home as it's been locked down by the Yamen. And then an arrest warrant for Zheng... WTF! Then they are both put on trial again—Chang Yu is sent back to prison for "escaping", and Zheng is accused of being a bandit...Zheng was ready to kill everyone there, as he clearly felt the judge was unfit for his power, handing out guilty verdicts left and right. Thankfully, his friend Headmaster Gongsun arrived with travel papers for Yan Zheng, his scholar. That got our boy released, and Chang Yu as well.My emotions are all over the place. I was so angry at the judge, the aunt, and the assassins... and yet, we still don't know who actually killed Chang Yu's uncle! But one thing is sure—it is all a setup.

Lol, Jinqi in this episode... 😂 He's such a loser for love. But why would he think drugging Lanxiang could anyhow work in his favour? It was like taking three steps back from that one-tenth of a step he maybe had made forward... 🤦♀️But I am glad she had already decided to go to the capital before all of Jinqi's shenanigans, because otherwise he would have seen hell. I am sure of that... But I expect facing her trauma will be tough for her, though she will do great in the end. 😟But now I also worry about Old Master Lin's words to Jinqi before their journey, because I think someone will find out what Jinqi did for the deposed Crown Prince... And that most likely will be judged as treason. 😨P.S. I was so sad for Zhi... 😢🤧

Almost the entire episode was spent searching for the rooftop... But, even once it was found, the awaited sunrise surprised me, because I don't know how it is in Thailand, but in Europe, the sun rises gradually from the horizon, rather than just appearing up high with clouds moving aside... but okay, I'll forgive them for this flaw with the details. 🫣And in the end, I'm glad Kavin is finally ready to leave Mona in his past and open his heart to Kaning. 😌But my favourite part was Thyme. He is so cute and silly (in a good way) when it comes to his relationship with Gorya. The surprise party was actually wonderful, and Gorya would have loved all the little things Thyme prepared for her, but sadly all the significant moments were constantly interrupted by Kaning's messages and calls... and those cartoonish sound effects? Not sure if I really needed them. That kiss looked so innocent and tender... A wonderful first kiss! 🤗🥰But damn, what exactly is Thyme's mother doing with Gorya's house? Does she want to demolish it? Or evict them? 😨

Lita proved just how wonderful she is! At first, her reaction to Gorya and Thyme's close relationship made me worried that she would be an antagonist in this adaptation, but no — her self-respect and love for herself won. I can only applaud! 👏And my greatest joy is that her friendship with Gorya wasn't ruined! 🤗🥹And Gorya and Thyme can finally be a couple, although, as was mentioned at the end of the episode — one test has been passed, but the next one is already approaching. And yeah... Thyme's mother is the ultimate villain left to defeat! 😥

100 Days of Deception Episode 4

Oh, now Tae-ung/Hideo is thinking Mr. Yoo is abusive towards her... And I can't blame him, because from his perspective, all the signs are there! And on top of that, he has chosen to believe what she said about liking him is true, so jealousy might have also joined his attitude towards Yoo Philip... I can already imagine a few scenarios of how this might develop, so I can't wait to see how it unfolds... 🫣And I do think there is a mole inside Gugukdan who deliberately contributed to the failure of their operation—firstly, by fuelling doubts about Ga-kyung's loyalty, and secondly, by pointing out the schedule who should be correct (right? 😏). I already have a few suspects, but I really can't say for sure who.P.S. I don't know Korean or Japanese, but for those who understand at least one of those languages, there might already be signs because of accents, different word choices, and stuff like that... I envy those people!

This episode just flew by so quickly. A lot of suspense, some action, and the levels of desperation rising. It's good that the Thailand plot felt less messy than the Philippines one, but there's still plenty of room for improvement. 🫣😌I wonder if someone recorded Aum shouting that someone named Dao would die soon, and whether finding her body might raise some alarms because it actually happened... 🤔 But the way Dao's body was "decorated" with bread stuffed in her mouth makes it look like Thailand was Gluttony. Also, I think the politician Wang is probably the one representing Gluttony in that scenario, not Aum — because he would rather lie and even sacrifice his own daughter just not to lose all the power, wealth, status, etc., that he has. 😔And regarding that detail Niide heard, the question now is — could the mastermind be from Korea? 🤨

Having just finished a drama that was focused on dealing with bullies, I can completely agree with why those boys wanted their revenge on F4. Thyme was a bully back then and his game hurt many people. Luckily, he has changed and could prove how sincere he is about that. 😌But I would have killed him in that hospital scene if I were Gorya... No one should joke like that! 🫣🤦♀️The ending was cute, oh, so cute... The meteor shower + the infinity necklace with their names on it. 🤗🥰 (Yet another thing that seems to be in one way or another included in all the adaptations — at least the two I have seen so far).

From the moment he appeared, I had a feeling that Talay guy was sus. Damn, poor Gorya... 😰 I have no idea how close to Meteor Garden this is, as they have like a 30+ episode difference, but I still hope Gorya and Thyme walk out of there safe and sound. 🙏And I am actually feeling very sad for Lita too... She should just stop chasing Thyme and find someone who would put her first and love her. 🥺

I really like Lita, she's fun! But it's a pity she has to be Gorya's rival. 😔The scene where Gorya ended things with Thyme was very emotional. Bright and Tu gave an amazing performance. 😭💔

Somehow the finale felt weaker than the rest of the series, but nonetheless, I still enjoyed it plenty. The way they brought it full circle with Gyucheol stabbing Hwajin the exact same way he did Gayun was very well done. Luckily, he didn't die! 👏😌Hanrim and Bong were so cute and adorable as always with their shyness and sweet, awkward feelings towards each other... 🤗🥰And of course, all the villains got their punishment, which I didn't expect to go any other way, really. 🙂↕️Overall, a very good drama that teaches a lesson not only to the bullies of this story, but also to its viewers—because despite it being fictional and adapted from a webtoon, some of the cases, if not all of them, are based on real stories... 😌

That little piece of trash! 🤬 And the politician who wants to run for president? Yeah, saying all that judgemental stuff to the murder boy, yet still using the recording. 🤨🙄 I wonder how they will wrap this all up... Will the bully that was pushed from the roof wake up and tell the truth? 🤔 And Hanrim as a geeky schoolgirl? Pure entertainment! 😂

What a terrible, insufferable mother! And even after going through her son's schedule, she still wanted to push him. 😞 I am so proud of the son for being able to get out of that cycle where he wanted those pills again and again and tell his mother a way healthier plan for his studies and dreams. 😌👏He was in an unimaginably horrible condition because of those pills. I still can't believe his mother overlooked all the signs as long as he brought home the results. 😧😤🤦♀️So the overarching plot is the drugs used in the education system, and the reason Hwajin's fiancé died was because of her finding out that student was a dealer or user (though I lean more towards dealer)... And even though he was sentenced to ten years, he's now out after two because of that politician wanting to go against Minister Choi that way? If only he knew what a disaster he has unleashed upon that school that boy will go to. 🤦♀️😤

Junung really grew on me in this episode. 🙂↕️ I know it was forbidden to intervene in any way with the memories, but I must say his heart is in the right place. He cares for people and can't just stand by and watch someone being tortured, reality or not. 🥺I thought the bully would have grown up and matured, but no, she was still the same... 🙄 Eunbi realising she wants to live, and even laughing a bit after meeting her school-time idol, really touched me. I hope she can live a happy life now. 🥹

Aw, Hanrim! 🤗 The way she described Bong was so cute and pure gold. My heart just melts for them and I wish them both all the happiness! 🤗🥹But that gambling gang was crazy... At some point I thought maybe this gang was somehow linked with the "boss" mentioned in the previous episode for the drug-dealing juveniles, but very likely they are not. 😳🤨And the guy who killed Hwajin's fiancé? I saw right through his fake crying act without any doubt, and I believe Hwajin did too... 🧐🤔P.S. Lol, the Squid Game reference. 😂
