I'm excited for this one! But I think I'll wait until the whole thing is out. Against my better judgment, I've been watching Pursuit of Jade and waiting for episodes is TORTURE. I forgot how hard it is to wait, I don't think I can watch another ongoing show. This solider is not that strong.
Just finished today's episode! OMG IT WAS SO GOOOOOOOOD!! Sui Yuan Qing's death was somehow sad; I didn't think I'd be so sad when he died. And it was interesting how he wanted her to take the tiger tally to Changyu... Qi Min is so evil. I honestly wanted to feel bad for him but his circumstances do not justify killing his own son or the woman who raised him with kindness. What an absolute garbage human. He needs to go. I felt so sorry for Wen Kan and hope he can somehow make up for helping Qi Min!! I feel like maybe he'll be able to redeem himself by keeping Bao Er safe...? Hopefully Wen Kan ends up being Bao Er's mentor, that seems like a good use of his talents. Also, Qi Shu wanting ALL THE BOOKS made me laugh out loud. That confession scene was so sweet and wonderful; I hope they get their HEA.
And the previews are awesome.
Not in this episode, I also can't get over the scene where Xie Zheng cut off the eunuch's ear. That was so badass. I also love how only Xie Zheng can teach Changyu <3 <3 <3
Haven't watched today's episode yet but I'm still loving this show so much!! Every episode is getting better and better. Love Changyu of course, but Xie Zheng might be my favorite MMC of all time. He's so multi faceted/layered as a MMC, and I find his confidence in himself and his trust of Changyu so unusual (for CDramas) and also so freaking hot.
Just curious, who is still watching ongoing and waiting everyday for new episode release? Or many of you already…
I am watching ongoing!! I don't want to watch leaked episodes, they take away from all the hard work of the entire team who put this epic drama together! I love this show so much and watching leaked episodes is hugely disrespectful (and, you know, illegal).
This drama is so amazing!! Loved the article! I did not know that the character was based on a real general. Reading about her accomplishments was so interesting...
Our couple's scenes were pretty outstanding today, loved when he comforted her from the nightmare, but I have to wax poetic here for a moment about the character of Xie Zheng.
Has anyone else noticed how different the character of Xie Zheng is from the typical ML general characters in most dramas? Xie Zheng is remarkably capable in so many ways and his confidence in himself and his own abilities and judgement makes him so freaking dreamy. Usually, the ML is only capable on the battlefield, therefore their "main flaw" is that they are constantly trying to do everything themselves and make the FL's decisions for her and "keep her out of harm's way" by being her white knight. It's like most MLs don't have any self-confidence or trust in their own intelligence. But Xie Zheng is such a capable military strategist and leader that he can multi-task and immediately focus his energy during the battle where he'll do the most good while also directing his fully capable subordinates to also take charge. I loved how he left General Xie Wu with Changyu because he knew Changyu needed the back up, and Xie Wu saved her from the fatal blow. Unlike most MLs, he doesn't need to be the "big hero" or the only one who saves his beloved, nor does he care about glory and fame. His confidence and belief in himself means that he doesn't need that kind of validation. HE'S THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!!
And today's episodes were SO GOOD! But I was so sad to see Changyu and Lord Li fall out. That hit me right in the feels. I understood why she did it, but I do feel she was ultimately wrong. His fate should've been his decision and it wasn't fair for her to take that decision from him. I hope they make up and are friends again!!
I'm wondering if the destruction of the butcher's knife is meant to be symbolic.
She broke the butcher knife and it can't be fixed. Just like (maybe...) after this battle and her killing the enemy general, she can't go back to being a simple butcher girl any more. She's a war hero now and she needs a weapon befitting her new status.
The destruction of the knife means her old life is over, and there's no going back.
