This is MY opinion but I think they were hinting that he does actually have memories. After the wedding she finally told him the truth and outside his servant told her servant that one time before they came here, after a battle he actually let down him guard and had a couple drinks. After he fell asleep he woke up sobbing and holding a stool. This is "honestly" the only real explanation for why he would change his course of action and come into the city when he didn't originally. Also, she had very clearly remembered that he did NOT know the language and was learning it before. She pushed it aside as something where maybe he just didn't want her to know, but in reality if he'd ALREADY learned the language he wouldn't have needed to learn it again.

Wait.... did you start this??? As Mis or Jubies 🤣 She gives back PLENTY it's honestly the MOST sado-masochistic show I've seen in a while 🤡 Just don't look for "plot" beyond "I know you love me, SEE... You haven't killed me yet" and "I knew you'd protect me!" ( as they're getting poisoned or stabbed or...)

One episode a day is criminal 🤣😭🤡🤣😭

There's definitely a roll-your-eyes silliness factor of what "might" be slight comedy that gets played a couple times during the 1st 6 eps, like with The Immortal descending scene... but aside from those, imo, oddly out of place scenes it's rather good so far.

Look, a girl need hearts and flowers and comedy and I can get that with Culinary Vendetta (which is such a bonkers comedy at this point)...🤣 But some need to get their daily dose of murder and mayhem as well🤫

🤣🤣🤣🤡

Have you seen A Talented Girl Grows Up? It's still a mid-length, lower-budget but it is a longer show at 35 minutes 🙌 - I loved it last year while it was airing, a rather good parody show.

Guan Yue is just so crazy 😅 setting everything up to swoop in and be DGZs "villian in shining armor" 🤣 - "all 25 accounted for" like it wasn't obvious someone could randomly just drive into town at any moment and "happen" to be a doctor 🤡

I'm watching for Guan Yue and he's giving PLENTY 😍😍😍 - LOVING his psycho vibes far.

🤣 I'm caught up to 18 and I feel like the story PLOT has been lost somewhat but I also just don't care because it's been fun seeing them go back and forth poisoning and torturing each other - that sounds SO twisted 😅.

But yeah, where youre at they could have ended the show with "He dies, she dies, she dreams she sees him welcoming her in the afterlife at herasion garden as they walk into a fade out and the show would basically feel complete to me 🤷‍♀️.

I'm not SAD they didn't cause im still watching... but they could have 🤣🤡

I know that this has SUCH low ratings but idc... I'm having a BLAST. I mean, if you want to see a show with a TRUE sado-masochistic push/pull relationship based on love turned to hate because of misunderstandings... it's this show for sure 🤡 - They basically take turns making each other suffer between lines of "you want me don't you" and "you know you still have feelings for me" 🤣

Oh THAT show... 😅 I never would have connected it but yeah... it sort of IS the same premise just switch out incense and confectionary, it even has the competition 🤣

I WAS SOOO BORING 😭 I had held off too because I'd used it as a "okay, you've been good and actually been FINISHING some dramas" show... only for that to be what we got. Both me and my friend were so disappointed.
But now you have me curious... What was the Japanese version?

😭😭😭 I have been waiting for this for SOOOO long - Zhang Ming Zhuo JUST had Into Your Heart released and now she's getting this one right after 🙌 - Next month I'm manifesting Destiny or Jianghu One Knife.

It's interesting to me that if this were a different KIND of show they could have easily ended the story at episode 14 - he's dead, she's dead, as she's dying she's calling out to him, seeing him in garden, they meet up and he actually escapes her family this time as the fade to faze.... THE END.

ep 14

I do agree with you that there is SOME sort of long game and I did catch each one of those clues you brought up... but also I honestly do agree that the story as a WHOLE so far is very convoluted in the way they are telling it because it's obvious they want to go for the "what's going to happen NEXT" type cliffhangers with each episode ending and when you do that it is absolutely a riveting watch that keeps you on edge... but STORY wise you end up sometimes at a loss because they have to manipulate things that could be easily shown earlier to be true or false as red herrings and misdirection.

I keep falling asleep so I'm still on ep 6. There's like zero comedy til ep 5 and then yeah it was a complete turn around like whiplash. 🤷‍♀️ But I absolutely agree with the reason confusion about her being a chef needed for plot so far at all. There were other ways to do it 😅

🤣 I know! You with your very sane limit against the red flags meanwhile I'm going "but he does them so WELL... The FL absolutely does NOT deserve this treatment but I CAN CHANGE HIM... Drop her and pick ME!"

OMG I LITERALLY had the exact same thought 🤣🤣🤣🤡
