Perfect all around! 👏👏 "Ming Lang 2? Please let that poor woman rest." 👏👏👏 🤣 Yes! PLEASE!! 🤣🤣

This series is not boring and does require concentration. It is deeply layered and not your ordinary revenge/avenge, martial arts, war, court politics drama. It isn't a romantic drama either. But it is amazing and engaging. Don't be afraid of the 47 espisode count. 41 episodes have gone by in a breeze (minus the day there was no episode drop and thereafter only 1 epsiode per day).
Hope you enjoy it as much as I and so many others have!

WOW this series is over the top, top, top! It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but if you like profound stories, this is a best seller! This is not your run of the mill CDrama. This is academy award material in my opinion! From the writers, directors, screen play adaptors, to actors, I find it great! Not 1 borng epsiode. Not 1 filler. Not 1 slump. It has invoked deep analysis and great conversations on here. Not everyone gets the profoundeness and criticize it for not being the usual hate-to-love romance, revenge/avenge, court politics, etc. This is in a league of it's own and it's focus is the FL's journey thru life as well as the other women around her and women overcoming so much hardship regardless of their social status. Not everything is spoonfed. Lots of symbolism and lots of implied reasoning that, if you're paying attention, will be obvious.
I hope the next 6 espisodes will be as satisfying. We already know, pretty much, how this stiry will end. I just hope that the way the epsiodes will take us to the finale will be as great as the last 41 epsiodes and the ride there will be as engaging and satisfying.

Adorable! Thanks for sharing! 🤩

@eliteles1
WOW!!! That's exactly what I got from that scene. Glad I wasn't wrong in my interpretation. Thanks so much for sharing this.

When I am waiting for episodes to accumulate or a new series to drop, I go to my old faves:
Melody of Golden Age; Fated Hearts; Legend of the Female General; A Familiar Stranger; My Journey to You; The Princess' Gambit; Kill Me Love Me, Everlasting Longing, Youthful Glory... I already know my favorite episodes in each of them real well!🤣 I did try something different while waiting for Spring of the Blade and ATC to drop more episodes: "The Glory". I had started it long time ago and dropped it like by 5th episode. I can barely get thru it. I just never liked it from the first attempts to watch it. You might like, if you haven't watched it yet. Oh, and iQiyi just dropped Shadow Punisher today. Hope these help!

👏👏👏Bravo!!! So well put! Had she been invincible, she would have seen the forced marriage coming her way and dodged it by hook or crook; she would have seen the kidnapping coming; she would have seen the carriage driver was going to rob and leave her maid/friend stranded in the woods to die; like she said, it was her fault for not being interested in being the head of the household as a first madam and knowing who is hired to work in the mansion, etc. She is astute. A great problem solver. A person can analyze the big picture and be resourceful in providing outlets to manipulate the situation favorably.

It's worth the watch.

I read a comment, from someone who read the novel, that he NEVER gets to have a son.

Same here!

That was the youngest sister. The 4th sister.

Exactly 👍
I rewatched epsiodes 37 & 38 before watching 39 and confirmed that since then we can see from her conversations with him, especially after learning it was he who burried her family, that she had already made peace with the resntment of the forced marriage and decided to accept him with affection (if not love) and move on with a normal marrriage IF he was willing to follow HER WAY.

@grandblue
Thank you for that great analysis. I mirror your thoughts just not able to say/write it so well. 👏👏

I agree with your statement: "apparently FL's love isn't what we wanted to see.." I believe it has been well implied by her actions that she accepted him and develops affection for him her own way. She was never going to be lovey dovey. It's not her style. She feels. She loves, but in a self guarded way. She's always looking out for the hidden and possible dangers ahead and circumventing. She is a survivor. Astute and deligent. Even if the time periods wouldn't have been progressed off screen, and fast forwarded in the episode, we weren't going to see what we thought we should see as far as her developing "love" for him.
It is just simply implied.
Nothing in this series, so far, has been typical of a usual
CDrama. That is what has
made it soooooo good. The writing and directing in this series is in a class all by itself and the actors have delivered very well.

I agree. This series was harshly attacked from start to finish! I enjoyed it. I've seen lots worse and people give it better ratings. Someone in the production or cast of this series must have pissed people off who got the black ball rolling which totally flattened them! Shame. I think the actors were good as well as the story. Maybe directing/editing, etc weren't up to everyone's standards, but still the rating should have been higher.
