I really feel sorry for Xi Yang. She loved someone and married him, but he never loved her back. She used someone,…
Her problem was that she fixated on Jing Shi for years because he was her knight in shining armor. He had no feelings for her, and was thrust into the marriage scheme by his stepmother and brother, and her Emperor father, Prime Minister Zhuang, and Empress Zhuang. He could not refuse the marriage, and Suige made him become the Feng live-in son-in-law. On top of that he was poisoned and manipulated by his family. She showed up, and manipulated him as well. Plus he was deluded, and fixated on Yixiao. What a colossal mess! π€―π€―π€―
This would have been the best drama this year if the ending wasn't so rushed. But still a masterpiece β¨οΈ
The Storm Alliance segment ran too long. I was expecting a final battle, but it was just infighting and the demise of the Empress Dowagers. Jinxui kingdom is just floundering with no emperor now. Jing Yan was twenty years' old. His offspring would be little children.
I suppose it is ep 36... Last part of 36 or starting part of ep 37
It was time for him to go. Either he or Sui Ge were having flashbacks when he was dying. I don't think we needed to see the flashbacks for the third time. Sui Ge called him a brother, and he called Sui Ge a best friend. So they were not on the same page.
Since Xiyang is now barren, she will have to find a distant Feng relative to succeed her as Emperor in the future. Unless Feng Sui Ge's yet to be born son inherits the crown in the future.
There were numerous pathetic. paranoid, delusional, psychotic, lunatic, neurotic, angry delulu characters in this drama.
In Xinjui: The Royal Family dropped like flies within a day. A very satisfactory end to their madness! Xia Jing Shi was delulu about Yi Xiao at the very end. He never got the memo. He finally showed a different emotion. Cain and Abel brothers, Xia Jing Yan and Xia Jing Shi, are still fighting each other on the other side. Who is running the show in Jinxui now?
In Susha: Empress Zhuang joined her delulu father Zhuang Shen. Pathetic Murong Yao joined his neurotic father Murong Zhong.
I was surprised that Princess Xiyang survived, to become Susha Emperor. Now we know no one dies from a sword stab wound in the gut. I guess she deserved the promotion because she was Emperor Feng's favorite child, and she had his temperament, that included madness, arrogance, condescension. Emperor For Some Weeks Feng Peng Yang gave it up, and went into seclusion. Feng Sui Ge and Fu Yi Xiao lived happily after. I don't know why they have to wait three years for a wedding. She might get pregnant before then.
Did anyone notice that Michelle Hu (Jinxui Empress Dowager Jing) is 35 years' old, and Qin Tian Yu (Emperor Xia Jing Yan) is 32 years' old? Empress had a miracle birth at the age of 3. Xu Xiao Sa (Empress Zhuang) is 38 years' old , and Ding Jia Wen (Emperor Feng Peng Yang) is 29 years' old. Empress had a miracle birth age the age of 7. It would have been funny if Qin and Ding used to call their drama mothers, "Mother" off screen. LOL
What was up with Dr. Ling & Auntie An's trip? That was a trip! lol. Love this couple too.
They had magic mushrooms ππ, and decided to run off together. ππ I suspected they had a special friendship. I wish they didn't just disappear BTS.
Ep 34: The Xinfiu triangle is dragging. XY, JY, JS keep going around in circles, and not achieving much. They are too busy listening to the BGM. The Xias are the dysfunctional family of the week. Their scenes should have been condensed into fifteen minutes, maximum.
