Wasn't expecting stepma to be spittin facts to her daughter like that....the only true thing she's said so far tbh.

Okay lets say she straight tells him his mother is going to die, knowing no specifics whatsoever nor the exact time of her death.
Possible outcome: Interrogation about how she would know that information and can't provide any further proof other than "trust me bro" She has no cause of death, nor does she know if it was murder or just illness, if murder she can't give any names etc. because they weren't besties in their past lives. She heard the gossip train info, which going based on her husband calling her an adulterer and everyone saying "bet" lets kill the bitch so we can kill Song Mo with cause, can't be trusted.

She repeatedly told him to make up with his family. His uncle was accused and his mother's illness worsened at the same time. He went to clear his mother's family's name as the 200plus family members lives were on the line. The dude was busy investigating other things. FL is dealing with her own things and knows FROM EXPERENCE that nothing she says will stop his mother from dying by that point.

Please remove the site name from the comment dramacool is dead because people kept yapping about it.

idk by i set my notification & will watch Marcus Here as he normally has the most up to date info

As of right now he is the last link to the Jiang family that would actually look further into the death of his wife and brother-in-law. If he's trying to cover it up completely...no loose ends.

See you get it!

He was always working with a rebel Prince to overthrow the current Crown Prince. Both he and the ML sided with him. ML was using him to get justice for his uncle and their Army. Yuan Tong truly believes that the current rulers/court is corrupt and needs to be overhauled. He has always believed that. So he is morally gray if he believes the people of the country will benefit.

I'm a southern(USA). As long as the translations are done well it's easy to pick up on. You get really good at double speak living in the south. Because what is coming out of your mouth might sound polite, but the meaning behind it could be the complete opposite. Also the opposite is true. Something can sound rude, but is in fact very kind/nice/positive in it's real meaning.

We see that prior to Song Mo joining his uncle's army that the father is abusive towards him. The uncle sees the marks on the boy's arm and comments that he was kicked out "again". The maternal line comes from a military family. His father married her for power, but his brother-in-law doesn't yelled to him in any way. I'm not 100% sure why he hates his eldest son but not his youngest, even though they have the same mother. Maybe be we are missing some info from earlier in their marriage that we will get in later episodes. The youngest son seems to be easily manipulated so maybe the father was faking his affection for the mother completely in front of his youngest but he couldn't get past the human lie detector that is Song Mo.

I think the sisters are going to pull a parent trap...a marriage trap so to speak.

I'm not 100% positive that the hair/purple blood indicates poison per se this time around. I think the purplish blood just indicates that his internal organs were damaged during the "household punishment" meant to kill him.
The gray hair could be from stress and grief after losing his Uncle and Mother the day before his arrival...twice, under extremely suspicious circumstances. Like dude is going through it.
I don't remember him being ill outside of side affects from physical injuries in the current timeline. I've only rewatched up to episode 2 though so maybe I missed something or disregarded a clue on accident.

I caught that the second time through. I was like, this director doesn't waste shots on things that aren't important...let me just rewind and freeze frame on the tv to double check. Sure enough, Mr. Chen. 🤭

So glad the first thing I have a clear memory of him in was Destined. I had seen Sm:)e and LoveO2O, but it had been a while since I saw them that I couldn't remember him in them.

different actors...actual siblings if not actually twins. at least that is what dramawiki's cast list implies.

I've seen 3 different translations at this point, so I have the same question. Any native speakers in the chat want to weigh in?

When the Phone Rings only one I'm actively watching/waiting for outside of this one.
Waiting on more episodes of Light Shop and Family Matters to drop before I dive in.

December is when I normally rewatch a lot of Christmas movies/movies that were released during Christmas time, again. I have a list of about 50ish movies that I'm knocking out over the month. (some are those 1970s stop motion tv-movies).

This is the first time I've watched a show(cdrama specifically) with two separate pairs of siblings(as in the actors are actually siblings/twins). They haven't been added to the cast list on MDL but both pairs of protectors for the FL and ML are siblings if not twins. The girls don't have pages. But one of the male siblings does. Jeff Liu aka Liu Zi Hao, brother is Liu Wei Hao(this is if dramawiki's credits are correct as I don't read Chinese I can't verify this on original sources). The most mind blowing info I found was that Liu Zi Hao is 42.🤯😲Sir drop the skincare routine stat.

I will normally joke about the sidekicks of the MLs in shows being like the ninja turtles...one has to be the Michelangelo to the Donatello/Raphael/Leonardo. But generally speaking those four architypes are repeated a lot in these historical/period dramas. The ML is normally a blend of Donatello, Raphael and Leonardo...whatever trait he is lacking is picked up by his right hand man. If there are two right hand men one is always more excitable/loose lipped than the other.

I was just about to comment how I was rewatching the first few episodes now that we've remet most of the players. I needed to see the characters as they were in the OG timeline/"dream"😉 because I was confusing a few loyalties. As we get deeper into the main conspiracy it can be confusing at times to remember how each character relates to the other.
Highly recommend at least an episode 1 & 2 rewatch once you get to the midway point of the drama to anyone who is currently or will watch this one.

Time to go watch the last two episodes of Brewing Love while I wait for episode 15 to drop. brb

This is normal pacing for a show of this length and plot type.
