Had the same question because FCY said she exchanged sui yaunqing for the meat... If that is true isn't XZ in…
Why would FCY act in good faith with murderers who broke every rule? I don't believe she really would have traded him, but the arrows raining on her party cinched the break of the "deal". Sui was lucky not to be gelded by her 😅
I hope the plot would be left intact and the screen writers don't ruin such a masterpiece. They should've increased…
My thoughts exactly. But let's hope the screenwriters and director will not disappoint us in the end. (The beating felt like a ref to LLTG, don't you think ?)
i just want to sleep and wake up on sunday where i can binge watch the rest of the eps. 1 ep a day is purely torture…
reminds me of the days of LLTG -- but this drama is shorter (sigh? 😅) I was all in for the "impossibly long" good c-dramas, at the time. Even if my attention span has shortened to the point that I sometimes stray into formulaic vertical short dramas, I sometimes go back to those long epics... Until tomorrow then for another dose of POJ !
I'm currently watching ep 13...the relationship and chain of events are extremely complicated...I'm totally confused…
Qi puzzled me too, since I had not read the novel patiently to get the relationship of the Sui brothers. Anyway, it is more complicated than that.

something is really off; How did we go to 8.5 or 8.6 a couple of hours ago to suddenly 8.0?
I agree. But some, I feel, are cunning in their way to shame and try to isolate people who don't agree with negative comments and who offer dissenting views. They even seem to have turned the mind of one who claimed to have come looking for "a pearl", .... but somehow put in exactly one of those 1 ratings. Sad. Let's hope the noxious fumes will blow away this week.
The one very negative commentator I "sparred" with seems to have (had?) more time than I, sadly. To me, she has managed to pollute my enjoyment both of the drama and of reading comments - even if I also peeked on and off on those in Douban comments, which as always are a mixed bag. I will not drop, since I both support TSY and know first-hand the period the story is set in. Better not read and react more than thumbs up where I believe it is earned, instead of bothering my head with this now polluted MDL thread then, and just form in fine my own opinion. I don't have timer and energy for writing lengthy reviews, so probably will also only upvote those I think are worth it.
(Besides which I am also enthralled by POJ -- I was not really so admiring of ZLH for a long while, but he finally won me over to add him in my private fave actors list, together with his spunky co-star TXW, who shines so much there with her knife and cleaver, lol!)
Ok, it's late : getting off key now. Keep enjoying what you like, and if you like music, have a peek at the links I pinned up in Discussions section. Some people like to listen to OST on Spotify, so if you know that sort of links, you could add them there too?
i havent watched ep25 yet .How is it to those who watched it ? HOPE IT WASNT STRESSFUL
Fast paced and not a moment without thrills (more sweet than stressful), and there were lfunny moments when "lady" Fang threatened the prisoner, to make the downhill opponents do her will (targeting the exposed nether parts, although I don't know why she did not cleanly go break his snout to let more blood flow...). Also very beautiful shots, as always, as the opening sequence conveying almost 3D feeling of depth with clear colors and light vapor drifting from the medicine brewing pots. The "imperial physician" needed salt and did her best, also to persuade her "live-in husband" to come clean with his real identity. He still held back, but they could not help exchanging a sweet kiss. But the episode ended on a cliffhanger not totally unalike the sequence when Cheng Shaoshang threw herself on Ling Buyi to protect him thus proving her loyalty and love of him to the emperor (back in LLTG)... All this is not totally from the novel, but had me check why Ep26 did not follow up already - aargh ! Could the Marquis really be flogged for military justice punishment of breaking discipline ? No No No!!! Hearts could not bear to see his perfect body and godly face thus injured again!

But my policy is to wait till end before rating... Will stick to it.
