Personally, I like reading those kind of daily life interactions spread out through the story, like Blossom and The Story of Minglan. So, I enjoyed reading the Blossom novel as well.
I also love drama version's Dou Ming.She has a tragic life but her character is loved now.
I sort of had a hunch that they were trying to wrap up Dou Ming's story based on how many Dou Ming scenes were in Ep 20 and 21. But, Ep 23 totally came out of the left field.
My faith in the script renewed! 😍
And the trailers for Ep 24 and 25 are fire as well! 🔥🔥🔥
Ok, I freaking love drama's Dou Ming story. That's the best change they made so far from the novel. My heart sank at the scene where Dou Ming was inching toward WTY but that bastard went back to drinking...
Novel's Dou Ming was just yet another bitter soul who kept on hating Dou Zhao and wasting her life away playing cat and mouse with her husband's mistresses. Despite the early death, drama version made her such a memorable character. Loved it!!! ❤️
This is my opinion only, it's ok if you're against me, The Double+ Love Like a Galaxy+ Scarlet Heart of Korea…
That is technically not incorrect. Blossom deploys a lot of commonly seen tropes. and shares similarities with multiple other dramas. However, its charms like in the characters, script, cinematography, production quality, etc. The Blossom team really put their heart into it, and it shows.
So the stepmother framed DZ with the bloody cloth. And WS claimed it was his. And he was beaten and later being…
Dou 5th Uncle set up a trap for Minister Wu. When Wu Shan admitted the bloody cloth was his to save Dou Zhao, he was guilty of breaking into inner court (ladies quarter) of their household and seduce Dou Zhao who at that time was an engaged lady.
That is basically a ploy to put Wu Shan into prison. Once in prison, they can fabricate any lies to charge Wu Shan. That forced Minister Wu hand to save his grandson and step down from his position, which was Dou 5th Uncle's goal all along.
Why does the FL keep saying that marriage is determined by elders and not fight back? She made all this effort…
She's just being strategic. She actually got everything thought out in all her actions, and her being submissive to her 5th Uncle and stepmom was just part of her plan.
She didn't need anyone's support to break off her engagement with WTY. She even got mad at Ji Yong and prevented Song Mo from meddling with her affair, as they are actually interfering with her plan.
Even if the switcheroo thing didn't happen, she already had a plan to escape. It was mentioned in ep16.
Dou Zhao had shown such a strong personality throughout the story. Why would she become indecisive at this crucial point which she had been planning for more than a decade.
Dou Zhao and Dou Min: In the novel, the relationship between DZ and DM is very strained, and they do not associate…
I don't mind the DM's changes. I can accept her as a kind and naive younger sister who encountered misfortune with her marriage. The drama seems to be going in that direction too.
I don't know how to feel about Wang Yinxue though... how much further is she gonna involve? If it stops with the bandit incident, may be not bad, still acceptable. Otherwise, she doesn't have the capacity to involve further in the later major plots.
For now, I'm guessing they will put heavy focus on the last part of the story. All the Duke Ying household power struggle might be toned down a bit.

There are a lot of other areas (like authority, wealth, connections, etc.) where ML straight out beat WTY, but basically, ML is miles above WTY.
But, In the novel, her involvement is minimal in the later half of the story. She doesn't get better as well.
