IrenaK At the start of the episode, we are already thrown into the backstory of the forbidden love between Chu Ling, General of Chu, and Alan Ruoyin, General of the Northern Desert. And that love story is worthy of its own drama, to be fair! The story is tragic, but it perfectly explains why things are the way they are and proves her mother didn’t abandon her because she didn’t want or love her… It was the only protection they could give her. Zhao’s reaction there is completely justified—the truth came so suddenly, and she feels betrayed and deceived by the people who mean the most to her. And as usual, the moment she’s overtaken by her emotions, A’Jiu is the only one who can reach her, make her see reason, and calm her… He’s like an unbreakable pillar, the constant support and the only one she trusts, but even that is shattered by something that happened years ago—now, due to a change of events, causing a butterfly effect and leading to Chu Ling’s death much sooner. The scene where Zhao confronts A’Jiu hurts. More than the one with the parents. And of course, it was pouring buckets. Why wouldn't it? The surprise on A’Jiu’s face regarding the effects of the Bloodburn Pill was genuine, yet he chose not to explain himself and instead accepted whatever punishment Zhao would give him. Calling him "Xie Yanlai" already draws distance immediately. However, her arrow misses and her answer for that mercy only grows the distance more: “You claimed you owed me. Now we are square.” OMG! P.S. I don’t like it one bit that Yanfang is teaching Xiao Yu anything. Please, I hope he is smart enough to filter Yanfang’s words… He probably knows he’s a villain thanks to Zhao and is just playing along? I hope, I hope!

Whoa, the chemistry between the leads is just next-level insane! Their shared scenes were definitely about 10 degrees hotter than the rest of the episode… the tension is already so real! Also, watching her use her sharp wit, royal status, and masked threats to completely manipulate those power-hungry men?! Pure perfection. Chu Zhao is playing the political game beautifully. This is getting so promising, I’m officially locked in!

My first impression of this drama is very good! The world looks beautiful, and I especially loved the desert theme. For me, it associates with something rough, untamed, and quite unpredictable—something that’s hard to survive. Introducing our likely male lead, Fu Jiu, against that scenery looked absolutely perfect because he completely fits that vibe!Speaking of Fu Jiu, was he the same guy Chu Zhao saved from the whipping? It was hard to tell because of all the blood on his face in that scene, but I suspect he was. Either way, I think he's a keeper. He looked loyal to Chu Zhao, maybe even already had some feelings since that day when she saved him... However, Xiao Xun looked suspicious from the very beginning, and the way the whole backstory went down, it completely proved he couldn't be trusted.But the major star of this episode was definitely the female lead. Yes, she was naive and trusting, falling into Xiao Xun’s trap which led to her death, but all of that did a great job setting the stakes for her revenge against him. I definitely need a few more episodes to decide if I’ll stick with it, but man—revenge looks incredibly good on Chen Duling!

Segye has finally realised that the woman in his dreams looks like Seori. Oh, what a vivid dream it must have been to leave such an after-effect, making him even question Seori’s identity now! But I believe all of those past-life dreams are quite vivid… however, it makes me wonder—did Segye start having those dreams only after Danshim entered Seori’s body, or did he have them before, too? I cannot remember if this was ever mentioned.Adding to that, I love the sincerity and honesty between our leads. Segye becomes so innocent when he is around Seori, and sometimes so clueless when it comes to interpreting her actions and reactions. And she is often pretty much the same. So, do I like it? Yes, because it really makes the whole romcom aspect so much sweeter for me! One of the most adorable things for me, probably, is his endless praise of her beauty. She’s the most precious jewel in his eyes, and I think every man should look at his woman that way.As for our villains—they keep creating obstacles and muddying the waters for our leads. So far, Segye and Seori have dealt with them masterfully, whether through accidental luck or their own efforts. It’s quite interesting to see how the villainy will play out, because Mundo and Mo Taehui actually have different goals for their meddling. Mundo wants Seori to be with Segye so he can use her to hurt him; Taehui, however, wants to separate them so she can get Segye for herself. And neither of them will definitely be okay with the other’s aim. This is going to be quite interesting to watch when the villainy escalates.

Mundo just keeps muddying the waters... oh, that man. I hate him! 😠 And that rich chick thinks Segye is her property? 😤 I want to see what he has to say about that! 👆I am so sad about the grandmother... Please, don't let her die! And I wish she would stop talking like she's about to. 😭🙏 At least her words made Seori realise she wanted to be with Segye no matter what... and now they're ready to face anything together! 😊🤗❤️I am just a little afraid that Mundo might twist the truth at one point and make Segye think that Seori actually entered their relationship under his command... 🤔 However, I'm not sure if he would succeed, knowing how Segye and Seori are. 😏

Zheng and Xiao Xing continue to make me smile. The way he lurked in the Perfect Voice chat just because he heard her voice, and then she later at 4 pm messaged him asking if he was home and safe... He could have done the same before, in the previous episode, but he was overthinking it a lot and just aborted the idea. I do adore those two! And I think in this episode their conversation felt a tiny teeny bit more carefree, didn't it? 🤗🤔And now even the hospital colleagues have seen Sheng, and grandpa is asking to meet Dr Mo. The world around them is finding out. It had to happen eventually anyway, right? 😏And the ending gave me a vibe that Dou Dou could actually be intended to become Feng Ya Song's girlfriend/wife... but we'll see 😉

Both our men are such caring guys. One turns the world upside down just to make sure his girlfriend is safe and sound, while the other torments himself with "ifs" and "buts". 🤗Yeah, poor Zheng. His brain is probably in a whirlwind of what to do and what is too soon or inappropriate.😔 I just hope they cross that line soon so they can express their intentions, worries, and care more clearly and openly, instead of masking them with reasons or excuses. It's still cute; I love them and they are adorable slow-burners. And I am quite sure we will get there eventually 😉.

The sweetness of our lead couple... They are so adorable! 🤗 Qiang Qing Ci and his golden pig, eating strawberries.... awww 🥰 And then leaving Zheng all confused about what to do when Sheng stays over, lol 😂Xiao Xing and Zheng are both equally adorable too. I just can't stop enjoying them blushing and giggling around each other. They're so cute! 🤭This episode finally said the Chinese title out loud... For me as a non-Chinese speaker, it was a great catch to notice that! 😏👍

This episode really felt like a final stretch to the finale. Mostly because the villains were revealed—some to the public, some to smaller circles—leaving our main heroes without unknown backstabbers lurking in the shadows. And that means an open and fair game in the finale! 😏The episode started with a huge relief with Ian's rescue from the fire. It was quite emotional to watch Huiju's desperation to save him, crying his name in the middle of the burning building. Luckily, Aide Choi was swift enough to help with the rescue. 😮💨I quite enjoyed seeing PM Min somewhat stressed about his plans crumbling to ashes, struggling to keep his real emotions contained, and even more—Huiju marking him as her enemy now. I still can't imagine how, in his mind, everything regarding Huiju could have worked in his favour. It looks a lot like he didn't know her personality and preferences at all, even though he claimed to be her long-time friend... One can only wonder. 🤷♀️🤔The Queen Mother was the one who impressed me the most in this episode. I had already hoped she would have a change of heart after everything that happened in the previous episode. And looking back, I think some vague traces leading to this point were already there throughout the story, gradually deepening. 🤔I really want to compliment Gong Seung-Yeon for her amazing talent in portraying such a complex character as the Queen Mother. She perfectly allowed me to hate her when she was a manipulative, calculating, and greedy person, not even really caring for anyone (her son including), and then open the waterworks in my eyes when her redemption arc started, when we learned more about her backstory, and when she changed for her son—pleading for his safety and no longer caring about herself. 👏😭💔

The show starts off on a very intriguing note. The royal concubine, Kang Dan-Sim, is sentenced to death for attempting to kill the royal consort, the crown prince, and other whatnots. The choice of her execution is poison. Meanwhile, since her promotion to the rank of Bin, the country has suffered from famine, drought, and other difficulties, and a comet has been in the sky throughout that entire period. Well, I already suspect she’s been framed! It feels like some shamanistic rituals were used to cause all those disasters, especially since the show already features so much cosmic energy and forces of nature. 🙄🤔But long story short—she refuses to drink the potion multiple times... until they finally force it down her throat. 😯 When she draws her last breath, an eclipse darkens the sky and lightning strikes the shaman, who was supposedly performing a ritual to ensure Kang Dan-Sim survived the poisoning. 🤔 And Kang Dan-Sim doesn't die... 🫢Somehow, she wakes up in modern-day Korea as Sin Seo-Ri, an actress portraying Kang Dan-Sim on a film set in the middle of her execution scene! Even though she is quite disoriented, she soon learns that history has painted her as the villain of the era. During the chaos of her movements through the city, she manages to meet our male lead—the CEO of Biojei, Cha Se-Gye. And what chaos they create! 🤭🤩 The dynamic there is already immensely drawing me in. And the parallels in nature's behaviour between the past and present really hook me as a viewer. 🤗🤭🤪I am quite sure there’s some larger mystery around those events because nature didn't act normally and I think the accusations were false. Plus, we never saw the King’s face! Only his chin, hidden in half-shadows... That alone creates suspicion. Will we meet the King in modern-day Korea? Maybe they didn't show his face so the viewers wouldn't know who he is yet? 🤔I must say—the start is great, and I’m already quite invested in the story and characters! 👍😉

This episode already showed how just a few different choices can change relationships. For example, I’m really enjoying Ji-Won befriending Mrs. Yang and Hui-Yeon while distancing herself from Soo-Min and Min-Hwan even more. 🤗Mrs. Yang seems quite shy and lacks confidence, yet she’s very competent and hardworking. She comes across as quite mature, almost as if she has gone through some hardships or abuse herself. Hui-Yeon, however, is very spirited, energetic, cheerful, and optimistic. She has a very healthy attitude toward life, and I bet she could help Ji-Won and Mrs. Yang gain more confidence. She also seems like a very good judge of character—especially regarding Soo-Min! ☝️😏Soo-Min is such a sore loser. She cannot stand that Ji-Won is slipping from her manipulative fingers; however, I still wonder what she might do to harm or humiliate Ji-Won next. She seems even more terrible than I imagined! Now she is trying to play a game of "teaseful seduction" with Min-Hwan and Mr. Kim. I don't think that will end well, but she apparently needs someone to manipulate. If it’s not Ji-Won, she’s looking for a new target. 😒🙄Mr. Yoo's presence at every moment Ji-Won needs help is very convenient. Suspiciously convenient... He even knew how to track down someone who went to school with Ji-Won. Why? All of it makes me wonder if he knows way more than he's letting on. Also, he clearly recognized that money with the heart on it. Could he also know about future events, just like Ji-Won? 🤔

The starting point of the drama is awful, to say the least... but to be fair, it's even worse than that. 😟Our female lead, Jiwon, has stage 4 cancer and is hospitalized in a clinic for chemo, which has made her very weak. She is married, yet her husband doesn't care about her one bit, except for the insurance money he would get if she dies. 😠On top of that, he doesn't even pay for her rehabilitation and is sleeping with Jiwon's "best friend," Soomin. It really looks like that romance has been going on for years, and both of them were just leeching off Jiwon's hard-earned money. 😤😠It’s a terrible, terrible situation. I cannot even imagine how Jiwon let everything get that far... 🤷♀️At least she got her chance to find it all out and confront her husband and friend, even though it didn't end well—resulting in her death. But thankfully, that wasn't the end of her story, but just the beginning of another chance to live her life! 👆I am really enjoying the changes she has already made by using her knowledge of past events to distance herself from Minhwan and Soomin. 😏 Plus, the boss always conveniently being somewhere close to help or save her already makes me believe this life will be way better than the previous one. 😉I am planning to enjoy the revenge Jiwon will take on Minhwan and Soomin! 🤭

I don't understand how the Queen Dowager got the contract since it was locked in Ian's personal safe. 🤔 Anyway, it's quite clear that PM Min was at the center of this leak and held all the cards for either outcome. I really don't understand how he thought he would win Huiju this way... even if she weren't in love with Ian, I don't think Min would have had any chance. 🤷♀️The divorce is probably the solution with the least damage. They very likely would return to the way they were before the marriage, meaning Huiju would not keep her royal status. Maybe she might even take all the blame and add that she tricked Ian, so he could possibly keep his position as the regent. 🤔🤷♀️I am very, very sad about how all of this is affecting our little king. No one really thinks about his well-being and peace in this situation. And to be fair, I was very satisfied with the "beast mode" Prince Ian turned on to almost strangle the Queen's father. And the support and praise he got from Huiju... Perfect! 👏❤️
