yup, CZ looks very likely to betray her again since she has betrayed her mistress twice already.

hmmm... i feel this is somehow becoming draggy and not moving... Will put this on hold for now... See you all in finale

#21: Based on what ZYL told MY, his hearto is with her, not HQ. So now, HQ and MY have two hearts each - ZXW & HRZ vs ZYL & WSM.

nope.

yea! That's great, though this is expected on the basis of China's filming R&R

i was hoping and routing for BDM to be still alive and coming back for revenge. But after seeing #9, how could she have survived after having gone through so many pairs of killing hands, one after another, and ending with the psycho K!!!

i can't understand how it's still possible to get DNA sample after such an explosion. Any expertise here?

this is not the first time a series ending on 17. There are probably more than the following list:-
Coffee Prince 2007
Whisper 2017
The Master's Sun 2013
Graceful Friends 2020
Lovestruck in the City 2020
The Red Sleeve 2021

There's also the 21-ep series:-
Tazza 2008
My Love from the Star 2013
Emergency Couple 2014
Queen of the Ring 2017
King Maker: The Change of Destiny 2020
The Penthouse: War in Life 2020

#2 the murderer came to know about the fire plot and all the past events (prior to the fire) through the journal kept by Lu Zhong. So that will exclude Captain Leng's killing the night watcher (QSG's dad) since Lu Zhong was killed during the fire.

#3 all the present day killings (except Lin Siniang) were carried out by Magistrate Wei's servant/aide. In Ep.11 @4:18, the dialogue between fortuneteller and the bearded man in disguise, fortune teller is certain the bearded man isn't the murderer. (Fortune teller is very confident of his face reading skills).

#4 All the murders of the bad corrupted people were done by the servant of Magistrate Wei. Yamen doesn't know that, that's why he was still able to kill the chef and he's leaving town (man on horse before the bridge in Ep.12 @ 1:34:46).

according to the fortune teller (when he met up with Xiao Bao), he's certain XB is not the murderer. So, all the killing were done by the man Xie who's indebted to Magistrate Wei for saving him.

QSG would be devastated if he were to find out Captain Leng was the one who killed his own dad. He admired CL to the extent that he's still in denial of CL ever being a bad and corrupted constable.

i guess the author/scriptwriter took pity on QSG

yup, me neither. Didn't she say HRZ wasn't there before her 'rebirth'. If she were to really end up with him, i think that won't be on a happy note.

friction? Or Fiction?

Is this from the novel?

the narrator implied a different ending for ZXW. Was she summarizing the novel ending?

it's up on kisskh and dramacool

yea, it has been an enjoyable watch guessing who done it.

funny that a tall lean teenage became an average height rounded man!

trailers are always misleading.
