Several days ago I asked around in this comment section about the character who hasn't shown up yet, He Yin, but…
I rewatched Ep 15, there is this convo between Prince Jun and a marquis who is He Yin's father. So He Yin has had a long-time crush on Prince Jun since they are little. But Jun is scared and avoided her and her father for a while, lol. According to his assistant eunuch, because He Yin has a strong personality like her father. Han Zheng says He Yin is a good match for Jun and Jiu Er agrees even like her parents "one subdues the other", lmao. Also, He Yin seems strong in physique because the father wants Jun to go to the hunting ground to meet her.
About the love triangle: I think Jun only has a crush on Jiu Er and mostly is happy because finally, he found the girl who saved him before when they were little. But it's not a deep love since he doesn't pursue Jiu Er further. As a prince of Qian, he can do that, especially with his doting mother and supporting brother. In a way, I think he also admires Han Zheng and even wants him to be his brother (Jun calls him Brother Han), so he's kinda okay with Han Zheng being with Jiu Er. He also misses his brotherhood with Wen Ying, since when he comes to visit the Queen in Ep 23 he told his mom he misses the day when he and Wen Ying were little under his mom's care. Running around with Hang Zheng investigating crime cases is like playing detective games with a brother...
So, let's hope this He Yin, besides being strong, also has a good personality. Like Chi Lan.
Several days ago I asked around in this comment section about the character who hasn't shown up yet, He Yin, but nobody knows so I searched myself and now I can't wait for her to show up... hahaha! 🤣 (see spoiler below, also about the 'love triangle')
The two ML's declared their friendship based on trust, but I think that will come crashing down when the 2nd ML…
I looked at it differently. It needs a strong woman/queen to be by the Crown Prince's side to be his moral support to navigate treacherous Joseon as the future king, and Jae Yi fits that position since she's intelligent, calm, brave, and wise, besides she is a noble lady. I think as his best friend, Sung On will realize that need for Yi Hwan, and later cancels his marriage agreement with Jae Yi. Besides, he has the pretty princess Ha Yeon who has a big crush on him, but he never fosters her crush since he keeps his marriage agreement with Jae Yi. I like the princess, she's kind-hearted and doesn't look down on Soon Dol. I almost thought before she would have a crush on the pretty eunuch, lol.
... they were a bit sad, but I still really enjoyed them. If anything they made me appreciate this drama even…
Not to say that they tried to make the audience smile with the investigators worrying about Jiu Er chopping a whole month's office supply of watermelons. I smiled between tears...
Thank goodness, the trios are back together again and the men fighting in the love triangle😁That's certainly…
Ikr... I cried watching Ep 23 and 24 so I looked for the next episode previews, lol. So definitely the separation doesn't last long and also the misunderstanding about Uncle Hu's killer.
I like Ep 19, it's heartwarming, about the brothers' reunion, the longtime friendship between the Qis, and how Hang Zheng and Jiu Er are so in-sync in the investigation of the current case like they have been long-time partners, while Chi Lan and Wen Jun watching them in amusement. Also, Hang Zheng and Wen Jun walk home. I'm still waiting for the story of Mu Yan, he's part of the circle of old friends. Liu Te looks good in that Qi costume.
So we have 2 more episodes to go and I wonder how they will end this drama. Somehow I feel the story is still all over the place. Let's hope at least that the screenwriter concluded the story with a satisfactory ending.
That General Chilan is so cool. I hope she won't be a bitch in the future. In the character chart, she seems connected to Wen Ying, too. Interesting...
