The Song Mo in the first lifetime is Song Mo was a revenge driven person. He was full of hatred, lonely, lost, and full of regrets. No one was by his side (subordinates don't count) whom he could share his burdens and thoughts. Just like Dou Zhao, he died with regrets.

Meanwhile in the second lifetime, Dou Zhao tries hard not to let the past Song Mo to appear. If Dou Zhao wasn't by his side, Song Mo will definitely make the same mistakes and become a killer and eventually rebels.

Song Mo is originally a sweet and loyal boy. He doesn't harbor any hatred to anyone. Even Dou Zhao felt pity that in the past, it was his father who turned such a sweet boy into a killer.

In summary, thanks to Dou Zhao, the past Song Mo never resurfaces. He stays as the caring and sweet boy. So, between evil Song Mo and good Song Mo, only one of them can appear, and it depends on Dou Zhao.

Right during their first meeting! Their first meeting is in chapter 114.

Dou Zhao defeated him in that rainy day. Her graceful demeanor and brain amazed him.

In their second meeting, Song Mo became more amazed by her beauty and kept staring at her 😆 When his mother mentioned Dou Zhao, he unconsciously said "She is engaged" hinting that he was disappointed and secretly having a crush on her.

Sadly, Dou Zhao initially didn't want to get close to him. She wanted to avoid him, but he kept on seeing her.

When he was dying after his father beat him, he thought about Dou Zhao. But when Song Mo asked to meet her, she rejected his invitation.

When Song Mo proposed to her, she rejected him. But he misunderstood. She had to reject him again, and Song Mo realized why she doesn't want to marry. Thankfully Song Mo is persistent and Chen Qushui assured her 👍🏻

They got married in chapter 244.

You don't understand why she doesn't want to marry. She endured hardships due to her marriage with Wei Tingyu. They didn't love e/o, and she had to handle all his affairs until she suffered miscarriage, fell ill and eventually found out her husband cheated on her with her step sister. Her failed marriage and her mother's suicide became traumatizing to her. She told her father she doesn't want to marry, moreover, to the wrong man. In the novel, she rejected Song Mo twice. Truth is, Dou Zhao has been trying to avoid meeting Song Mo bcos she doesn't want to get involved with Song Mo and his family feud, moreover the possibility that he will rebel later. She just wants to live in peace.

You need to understand from her pov, not just from his pov. Marriage is not as easy as sunbathing, esp to Song Mo, a man who is surrounded by problems.

When someone calls him by his birth name, it is considered rude and show they are not close. Like you said, Dou Zhao called Song Mo by his name bcos they were not in that kind of relationship. Dong Qi also called Song Mo by his name bcos they are not friends. Other examples: Dou Shishu (fifth uncle) and even his own father due to his hatred.

Meanwhile, the emperor and father in law call him Yantang.

Based on this you can see whether they are close or not.

No, he was acting as the good son/brother. If you watch it clearly, it is obvious that he is hiding something and there is cruelty in his eyes. Ansu fell for him bcos she never met a man who doesn't look down on her status. If you think Song Han is a good person, that means the actor did a good job 😅 The casting director deliberately chose an actor that is contrast with LYR to highlight it.

Although they are in love doesn't mean they have to consummate on the first night. They need time. Song Mo respects Dou Zhao and willing to wait until she's ready. Even on the novel, on the first night, he gave her chicken blood and they slept on the same bed. Everyone thought they consummated. it took about a week until he got the courage to "attack" her and she accepted him.

The mysterious sage wrote the book. Only Dou Zhao can see him. But later her daughter can see him as well.

Song Han is one of the villains in the novel. Tbf he is the exact copy of Song Yichun: can only bark, but lacks the brain and ability. He and Song Yichun can't defeat Song Mo, so they join forces with Prince Qing.

Meng Ziyi won the Dec tv series role championship for her role as Dou Zhao 🎉❤
People love Dou Zhao and Meng Ziyi's portrayal really brought Dou Zhao to live 👏

Who's happy that ZhaoMo, I mean Meng Ziyi and Li Yunrui will reunite again on jan 11 at Weibo Night?
🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️🙋‍♀️
Mark your calendar:
Jan 4: Tencent All Star
Jan 11: Weibo night

On Jan 8 both have brand event in Shanghai, but it still unclear whether it is the same event or not. Presumably Bvlgari.

It's not "pet name",it is "courtesy name". In the novel, Song Mo and Song Han have another nicknames from their parents.

In the drama you will notice the men have 2 names: birth name and courtesy name.
Courtesy name is an additional name bestowed upon individuals at adulthood, complementing their given name. It is a marker of adulthood and were historically given to men at the age of 20, and sometimes to women upon marriage.

Song Mo, courtesy name: Song Yantang.
Ji Yong, courtesy name: Ji Jianming.
Wu Shan, courtesy name: Wu Dezhen.
Wei Tingyu, courtesy name: Wei Peijin.
Song Han, courtesy name: Song Muyu.
And so on.

When a man gets his courtesy name, people will call him with it, not his birth name, bcos it will be considered rude.

Shougu is NOT a courtesy name. It is Dou Zhao's nickname she got since she was a kid.

Ep 25-26 will explain it 👍🏻

Bcos this is NOT a reincarnation drama. This is a drama where the FL gets back to where she was a kid. She is given a second chance to change her destiny and prevent the same mistakes to happen.

The drama/novel isn't about revenge. It focuses more on how the main couple overcome many hardships and become stronger. Dou Zhao doesn't want revenge, she wants to bring justice to the villains. She also tries hard to prevent Song Mo commits the same mistake from the past life. The drama also shows the struggles of the women in ancient times. How they survive and live under the norm and rules. Idk what kind of "revenge" do you like, but this is not the "kill them all" type of revenge. This is the "gather evidence and let the laws do their job" type of revenge.

Ansu is granted princess status. So Song Han became prince consort. They will have their own residence after this, but not in the palace. It is just for a while they live in Song Mo's place. Fyi, princess who gets married will be given residence outside the palace.

Tbh it was quite pleasing. He had been pampered and served by servants bcos of his status. Then when he got exiled, he had no clothes on his body! Almost naked! He got beaten by commoners who know he was the second son of Duke Ying 😆

Idk either why they didn't follow the novel, but it is still good. It was easier for Song Mo to be Duke of Ying. On the novel, Dou Zhao has a son and it infuriates Song Yichun bcos her son will inherit the title after Song Mo.

For Dou Ming, call me evil, but I don't feel pity for her in the drama. It was her own choice and naivety. Being so stupid and living in a bubble of romantic storybook. Her mother and Dou Zhao warned her numerous times. So it was her own fault. At least Ansu is more clearheaded.

No, you misunderstood. After Dou Shiying punished Wang Yingxue, his brothers urges him to remarry, for the third time so someone can take care of him and perhaps has a son. He refuses. He ends up adopting the Sixth Uncle's son, the youngest one is really close to Dou Zhao as they grew up together. While Dou Shishu, the fifth uncle, has a wife and sons.

May I interrupt? I want to clarify something.

I don't watch LLTG, so I won't say anything about it.

It is a pity Blossom didn't showcase it well. However Dou Zhao in the first lifetime was ALREADY smart. She was this capable, intelligent, independent, steady and mature woman. Her husband was completely incompetentand useless, he couldn't manage his own affairs and didn't know how the court works. So it was Dou Zhao who handled ALL his affairs: from establishing connections with the nobles, managing household, holding banquets, etc. She was THAT capable to the point she ignored her own health, even suffered miscarriage. She became ill due to overwork.

So it is not "she became smart in the second lifetime". No. She became a self reliant woman who fights for her own freedom and establish her own foothold. She regretted for being virtuous and obedient woman and ended up marrying the wrong man. That's why she said what she said in ep 1 when she died. Rather than saying she became smart in the second lifetime, it should be "she became a woman who can say NO and choose her own path."

Dou Zhao isn't a revenge driven person. She won't touch someone unless they touch her first. The drama focuses on how she fights to live in peace and protects the people she cares. She rather exposes the bad guys and punish them according to laws.

I said this in my previous comment. Idk why some people compare Blossom with other dramas when they are different. Just like comparing apple with orange. Unless it is a remake drama.

I want people to enjoy a drama without comparing, wanting to get the same plot or characters with their fave drama.

Last, as I said, if you are not feeling Blossom, might as well drop it. Perhaps one day, when you decide to pick it up again, you are able to enjoy it.
Peace.

There is no main song, but there are 5 songs for this drama, including Zhao Zhao Mo Mo sung by Meng Ziyi and Li Yunrui.
