You are of course right and I have to keep reminding myself to simply enjoy it for what it is, which is a well written historical story and soak in the tapestry of what’s being told. Thank you Megumi

I will have to say that I am finding it very confusing as an international viewer that usually likes historical dramas. I am simply taking my time and getting clarifications from here and Wiki😀
So far IMHO the best scene of S2 has to be Qinxiang's meeting with the young monk Jingyuan. It was sincerely written…
Happy 2026 Peach 🍑! This season’s offering Certainly doesn’t have the level of good writing nor give the sense of suspense. Other than the mysterious ‘peacock’ who many of hope would be a true surprise, they are all running around in predictable fashion . What’s with that joker of a king from the enemy kingdom😳😬? Am frankly watching to pass the time😞
C drama at its best, aTotally ‘pants’ ending🤦♀️. Still it was entertaining enough and it’s the best role that I have seen the FL in. ML was awesome as usual though as everyone has pointed out the character development faded to nothingness. Thanks script writer! 😬
In a way, for me, I guess this also explains why YFS said as long as Huai An was alive, Chang'an will not fall.…
Agreed. But ML did make the time device being used in the caves.🤷♀️ I am also hoping the last few episodes would demonstrate exactly WHY ML was revered and ‘feared’.
i think as the plot has been through XHA's lens throughout , in first part we were all as invested as XHA in revenge…
Do you think ML cared enough about that? Wasn’t he simply doing what he felt he had to do for his own clan? I think what he hadn’t quite realised was just how intertwined the whole situation was. They all felt that YFS was the main player. It was this piece that flummoxed them completely.
Ep. 22 - Once again the drama gods remind me to wait until its all said and drama done. Conversion from Chess…
What is apparent is that every thing is evolving at a rate that ML can no longer fully control. Finishing off YFS didn’t give the satisfaction he hoped for, loosing those he cared about damaged his spirit so much that he slept for 4 days! And now he has the ‘nation’ on his shoulders BUT does he? Tiemo king is relaying heavily on his understanding of them as kids, the disposed king has changed a lot, even if the doc was giving him information about them, it won’t be the same as spending time with them and ML surely has some hidden agenda, what happened to those that left GY and the ones he “killed” before going to the city?
I just know we would be left hanging and that would surely be a real shame.

I agree with @phoenix23. I think what we feel/see now is an anxious ML trying to find an opening in his GO game. Until now he was truly able to wiggly out/out fox and manipulate things until the killing of his sibling. But I think this new twist really shocked him. I also think 1 episode per day hasn’t helped the pace.
its hard to like and doubt any side characters they can either die anytime or betray at any moment.🥲
I felt the sister’s death could easily have been dealt with differently. For example, YF could have found another scapegoat and simply captured her since he, YF, seems sad to have had her killed. I didn’t think HZ’s death was a casual sacrifice, neither of them would have made it out if he didn’t do what he did. I do agree however, that the casualties are piling up and we are only half way😱
Thank you Megumi
