Got to episode 31 and honestly, listening to 品冠 - 未尽 and reading the lyrics just makes me feel sad, reading some of the subtle hints of spoilers makes me lowkey extremely worried about the potential sad ending. Should I be worried? I'm honestly torn between moving forward and stopping temporarily. What if Su Yi Shui takes way too long to get his memories back? What if Mu Qing Ge never returns to full power at any point in the story?
EP20: "I feel like you've changed a little bit...seems familiar"
Ngl, the actress portrayed the *slight* change in AURA very very well. Like, she actually didn't do anything special, or even anything that different from usual, but you can FEEL that something is different. Really nice actually.
Watching this shortly after Fangs of Fortune is a weird experience lol
every 5 minutes: "Wait, I recognize this exact house, this is where Ju Yan got shot" "Wait I recognize this village" "Wait I recognize this exact place" x5000
I switched to reading the novel after Ep 10 and recently came back, although I prefer the novel for the most part, they nailed Ep 15. That was pretty good.
But yeah, Lin An is so much better in the novel...
EP1 first impression: so...she's basically John Wick? She didn't even remotely hesitate, zero evidence of blood left behind? She's definitely a pro at this.
5 episodes in *right after* watching season 1. Is it just me or are the colours much more...vibrant this time around? Somehow, the washed-out colours feel rather nostalgic now. Makes the show feel more serious.
Anyway, something feels off from season 1 but I don't quite know what it is. Maybe it's the pacing? I'll keep going for a while to see what happens ( I mean, it's like THE most popular cdrama in 2024 for good reason...? ) Season 1 is a 10/10, idk about season 2.
EP30: Ngl, bro has a point. An uber-powerful organization that can supervise everyone but cannot be supervised by anyone? That's literally a recipe for disaster. Bro is unironically right here.
"The key's gotta be in the palace bro, you looked through her house"
Fan Xian literally...didn't though, bro got distracted after looking for 30 seconds and then he got shut down by the king himself, the key could potentially LITERALLY be still in the house...
This is actually surprisingly wholesome and fluffy lol. I didn't expect to enjoy it but I really did, who knew that THIS would be the show to bring me back to Kdramas XD
Bruh...I've been waiting for Mu Qing Ge at 100% for so long and now we have to start from less than zero...

Ayo, don't you have that fantastic spell that stops people from saying certain things? That's like the magic equivalent of a PERFECT NDA lol.

If you know your opponent is gonna use a knife, why not at the very least prepare a SWORD?

Edit: okay 6 episodes in, it starts getting good.
"We have reached a level of 'cooked' that shouldn't even be possible"

"Imma be real dawg, I don't even know this guy lol"
Also Teng Zi Jing: rides a horse in public
