Just watched up to ep. 11. There are many meaningful and poignant moments in this episode as well as a hauntingly beautiful Cantonese song at 22:10 that totally captured the mood of the moment: 且聽風吟 (優酷定制懸疑青春劇《我在香港遇見他》插曲) Listen to the Wind - Rao Wei https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8u-T4ZcuOk
I'm also still contemplating whether I should watch this or not. I started a portion of episode one and Cheng…
If you have a strong resolve and resilient heart (and no hypertension or other health related condition), this would be a good show to watch. Cheng Yi's acting especially in the emotional scenes is outstanding. Other members of the main cast are doing a great job (of antagonizing viewers with their villainy) as well. I'm taking a break on doctor's orders - my blood pressure keeps spiking whenever I watch this :O
Can anybody, please, explain to me, what exactly the "cherry blossom" tag means?
This is the most adorable comment on this page lol Did some digging and basically the tag refers to the cherry blossom flower. That's it, nothing else XD
Yao Mowan reveals to Ye Junqing that she's actually Yao Moxin. So that may imply that Yao Moxin has possessed…
Yup, that's totally how I rationalised it to make sense of it all. You're absolutely right about the messy writing - that scene there wasn't properly done. It is sad, from the moment Mowan's body was used as a tool for revenge. I wish the plot was written to be a bit more ethical in that respect. Now we'll have to see how all these loose ends are resolved in the ending.
Someone please explain me in detail about ep 29 and 30... I saw it raw and I'm not clear about he conversations…
Prince Su (Jun Qing) is planning a coup in the form of armed rebellion, peasants' uprising and political revolt. To prep for this, he is doing the groundwork of gathering supporters from: 1. High ranking government officials who are disillusioned by the Emperor and his growing distrust of them by putting them under increased surveillance 2. Military commanders (eg General Huan Heng and Commander Fu who were mistreated by the Emperor) with their armies 3. Recruiting and training private armies, especially from those war refugees who were neglected by the Emperor and forced to march into the savanna to perish 4. Public support against the Emperor's oppressive administrative policies of forcibly taking farming land, not releasing the granaries to feed people and not protecting them against looters
Up to 18 and still maintaining the momentum. I hope everyone gets a happy ending, not only the main couple. In particular Du Lei. The complexity of his character is really intriguing and he deserves a positive outcome as well.

OK, I think I get where you're coming from. Everything stems from that amnesia arc. Because of the episode cuts, there's not enough explanation that viewers are forced to interpret the scenes. Tbh, that particular line at the ice box about the merged memories also confused people even more. There's no right or wrong, this entire story arc is subjective anyway. Just to share my humble interpretation: After the "soul switch", Moxin became fully in control of Mowan. When she lost her memories, she didn't even know who she was and Jun Qing had to give her a new name. It was not until the amnesiac Moxin in Mowan's body was discovered by the Yao family that she came to accept her official identity of Mowan. Mowan the soul/ consciousness/ whatever had always been residing in the comatose Moxin body and was never present or involved in any of the events that transpired (from being chased to the edge of the cliff and onwards).
I'm not 100% sure, but I think there's a reason for the magic/ transference we saw in ep 1. The souls definitely…
I know what you mean. Even if Mowan was still in Mowan, I doubt the real Mowan behaves like the amnesiac Mowan anyway. Damn, that's a lot of Mowans in one sentence! :O

Yup, that's about right. I think a lot of people have this thinking that Mowan is still inside Mowan, and even after Moxin had taken over the body, Mowan reappeared inside herself again the minute she knocked her head and lost Moxin's memories.

So I've re-watched episode 11, 4:16 - 6:50. The merged memories of Moxin and Mowan, as I understand from this scene, is in reference to the flashbacks in that entire segment. Mowan's memories are only from the point of amnesia onwards and not before. In any case, nobody knows what Mowan's memories before the soul switching consist of, because she has never met Jun Qing, Emperor and every one else apart from her own sisters (funnily enough) which was why no one could recognise her as the Yao daughter.

Ok, personally for me, I differentiate between memories and soul/consciousness.
Even if there is residual/ full memories left in Mowan's body that's inherited by Moxin, that doesn't mean that the body now contains 2 persons. Otherwise in the first place there never was any "soul switching".
Anyway, that's how I rationalize it. If not, the alternative is Mowan's body contains Mowan and Moxin - then we have 2 people in love with one person.
1 episode in, looks promising initially. I like the sets and outfits, seems like a more recent production rather than a shelved older drama.
A bit confused halfway through... people seem to be posing and acting macho, nobody doing much communicating and abandoning defenseless folks in the forest (actually I find this incident quite disturbing).
Anyway, to be fair will watch on more episodes and see what happens.
