That scent has to have something to do with them being fated ones, ryt? But it's interesting how she gets it's from CW and not JL maybe because JL is a puppet but then again her fated one is called Ji Ling, so maybe CW's real name is Ji Ling??
I haven’t watched the previous drama that’s connected to this one, but I started it because I liked the visuals.…
Just to let you know that there is no previous drama connected to this one, so you can watch without any worries. You might've seen people comparing this to FoF or MJTY but it's just because they have the same director/screenwriter and intertwining cast members.
Why the hell is ratings dropping???? Is it not good?? Should I start???
Ratings are unreliable and I'd suggest not worrying about it. If you are looking forward to this drama, you can definitely give it a try. Up until ep 5, it's going really well.
Finished the first 5 eps and thankfully, the flow and the pacing is better than FoF. I loved that drama by the end but had to struggle to get past the first few eps. VOS on the other hand, has me hooked from the beginning.

You said it yourself, if it was CY, SYQ would gladly die and wouldn't care one bit cuz he's crazy like that lol. He really loved QM and it had to be him for SYQ to feel his karma. In my personal opinion, QM did care about SYQ, his adoptive mother and the nanny, even if it's a little, but every time he realised that he cared, he doubled down and killed them so as to not be 'weak', the only exception to that would be QQ.
I also don't think SYQ ever truly felt remorse for the bad things he did and if it was CY who killed him, he'd wouldn't have given the tiger tally to her. The only reason he gave it was to get back at QM and because he cared about Shisan enough to leave her a way out.

Personally, I think Deng Kai hard carried Qi Min because like you said, there is really nothing to actually like about his character, but Deng Kai made it work somehow. One thing I'd disagree is, SYQ did deserve that. As much as I vibe with SYQ, it was rather fitting that he gets betrayed and killed by the brother he loved so much. Unlike Qi Min, SYQ had some redeeming qualities like he truly loved his family, was a capable general and cared about his soldiers and wasn't afraid of death to a fault, so it's somewhat easy for us to forget all the bad stuff he did but he too was evil, and karma had to find its way to him in some way.
I feel you. It was one thing to beat the local gangs in a village and fighting seasoned warriors other and with…
Yeah, at least they tried to make sense of her skills but if I'm being honest, it wasn't totally convincing, so I had to remind myself that it's a drama, but it did take away from my watching experience a little. Though I wonder if having almost supernatural strength is a reoccurring theme in chinese historical dramas as POB also had a character like that.
I have honestly lost interest once i saw them sky rocketing the FL to a general within 6-7 episodes…like come…
Exactly! Her road to becoming a general wasn't convincing and the way all the soldiers were just ready to follow her was too idealistic like the soldiers were reluctant to get treatment from a royal physician cuz they didn't trust a woman to do her job properly but sure they'd follow the FL into battles.
