That's a great point! While WeiYan feels loyal to the Weis, it must not be healthy to constantly have to repress his feelings and in some sense, his ambition.

By the way, they did put in the throwing scene - when he took the incense burner from her makeup box and threw it. I am glad that is over since that is one more moment of angry Wei Shao that we don't have to worry about.

Yes, I was relieved that he apologized in the end, and he showed that he trusted her. It was great seeing him defending Manman in front of that nasty woman.

It was sad about Wei Yan's decision but at least he knows that they will always treat him as family.

Haha - I love the contrast between the two so I chose them as my pfp for now. The latest episode was sad so I needed to be reminded of a funny time

Once again, I have to say I truly enjoy how the show has adapted the novel. Episode 27 beautifully highlighted both romantic devotion and the bonds of family.

Wei Shao’s reaction to his discovery felt realistic, true to his nature but it also showed that his love for Manman was unwavering and even his faith in Wei Yan was unshaken.

As for Wei Yan, his choice, though painful, was ultimately rooted in his deep loyalty to the Wei family.

While I do wish Su Ehuang had been on the receiving end of Wei Shao's chokehold, it was still immensely satisfying to watch her latest scheme unravel. She’s failed yet again to drive a wedge between our couple. And though it may not be obvious now, I’m convinced Wei Yan will ultimately play a role in reuniting Bianzhou with Weiguo.

Maybe a literal push into the river to make the general go byebye

Yeah that’s the nerve-wracking part especially when we do see the tiles being moved differently than what he wanted. Luckily he is quick and usually has Xiang AT to help him out 😁

Right, it is more the general falling since ZH used that as an excuse to stall from being killed

Cute! I like all the episodes in one youtube video - like a quick movie. It's a light silly watch, and the attractive leads kept me interested.

Yeah, everything seemed to have gone too smoothly and everything ZH predicted came true...

Seems too perfect...just like the stepmotherJiang Xiang suspected about the other events, everything seemed to fall in place too neatly!

Does anyone suspect that the general who "fell" in episode 16 was deliberately caused and not an accident? Seems too coincidental...

H e and his teacher predicted that the general responsible for Zhangzhou will fall for not taking care of the dam and people. At first I thought the general will ultimately be blamed fulfilling Zang Hai's prophecy but in the end it was the general drowning.

But it seems too coincidental. I suspect that one of Zang Hai's people killed the general.

This Zang Hai makes me nervous...he does make some risky moves, part strategizing, part counting on luck and intuition.

I like the thrill, and it's more realistic than having a perfect ML that 100% plans out and executes successfully.

I wish he got rid of it too but it’s an expression of his feelings so I’m not surprised that he is keeping it 😥

🤗🤗🤗

Oh for sure, I will protect him! I was also surprised by the hate that Wei Yan was getting. From start to now, his reactions and actions towards Manman and the Wei family were understandable, and even when he so clearly supported Wei Shao and Manman, people still want him gone.

Our poor misuderstood baby Wei Yan...

I already lost some hair watching Korean makjang, I would definitely lost it all if Chinese dramas start doing more of that LOL

Exactly plus I get the feeling that every thing that she has experienced was her own choice, other than Wei Bao (Bogong) dying. She gives me the impression that she will always go for power and when she fails, she spins a sob story to cover her choice.

No, not at this point. I just want to see her gone!
