Pursuit of Jade Episode 26

this episode we continue to see the evolution of chang yu... but particularly in this episode we get what i think is one of the most immersive, epic war scene! we get the squad's (and Changyu's) POV, with all the fear of going to battle. WE GET EPIC FIGHT SCENES for many characters. we even get a powerful humane moment with Chang yu and a soldier. I don't know if that moment was part of the novel, and even so, the director/scriptwriter's choice to add this moment really anchers Chang yu in her morals among all the killing of a battlefield.and of course, we get a beyond satistfying fight scene for chang yu!! She's a natural!! I've seen TW fighting in other shows but this is top tier! We don't even have time to get over that, then we are left with one of the most anticipated cliffhanger for the couple!!!

no spoilers here:) while we do have some tropes, i am beyond relieved that FCY -becoming a general- arc is developping nicely. she is still going through a very difficuult mental state but we see by the end of ep. 32 she doesn't have to go through it alone anymore! we see firsthand why the marquis holds his ruthless reputation too. 8 episodes lefts, i am super worried and excited to see how the end will unfold, because the tension is rising and we can sense a kind of rush in the editing of the sequences.... so far, when i look back , i am happy we got slow and abundant episodes early in the show, because the political and war arcs deserve quick and short pace or else it becomes redundant and petty!!

this masterpiece still doesn't disappoint! still exceeding expectations!In this episode, FCY's second big battle is even better than the first. the imagery and 'coming-of-age ' moment where she is literally becoming/integrating everything she is in her last blow to kill the enemy! one incredible moment:the reflection in the enemy's eye was such a powerful moment, and very emotional ! a cinematographic brillant moment is when we see parallels with her father's bond displayed like that 🥹...Also, we are seeing FCY's at her worst mental state probably in ep30, TWX is extraordinary in how she's acting! I also really enjoyed how we see more details of XZ's skills!! PACE OF THE SHOW: the balance and pace of the show is changing, it is still very enjoyable. i find the time given for our main couple is fair and secondary characters moments are also very interesting because the whole cast is great and the characters have enough depth and nuance to fascinate us! (not always in a good way ) LI: worth mentioning, is the evolution of wenkan, where , in this episode, we see him at a huge crossroads in his journey and i'm excited to see how he will navigate his path moving forward!! some inconsistencies about some characters appearance are there but it's not bothersome enough for me...
