ShortCircuit

1. KinnPorsche (some 170k).
2. Till the End of the Moon (some 130k IIRC)
3. Immortality (2ha - this is over 102k and never aired. Never will either, at least officially, because China basically banned danmei adaptations)

So yeah. There's room to grow, LOL.

What brothel?!

That's why I called him a replacement - he just got Mandi's part. :( He's not an addition, just a spare.

But she wasn't even IN the battle, they were all off doing whatever, trying to catch or block Sui-the-Younger, or the rebel Prince (can't remember his title), or the remaining Sui General that was with the one in ep27 I think, who got killed by ChangYu and died too, here. Why would she need to be taught battle lore? She always wanted to just go away and not be a soldier.

Only General He was in the actual battle, and we saw none of it - eps 29-30 were the worst edited, IMHO, and there was none of the tension one would expect from an actual battle. And neither did we see any actual fighting from Xie Zheng, it's always ChangYu (so far).

I really wish they didn't make it a girl-boss story in the end, let the ML have some battle-readdiness too, not just be a handsome and protective matrilocal husband (that's the only side of him that got really detailed, nothing much of anything else).

From a watcher's POV that would make sense. From a platform's POV, not really. They air it with commercial support of the platform (even if/when the actual episode isn't paused for commercial breaks), the viewer/comment counts are important for a platform, sponsors want to show up before the drama airs, etc. There are five platforms airing this drama according to their own contracts. It's not a case of "well, a pirate version is out, we'll just dump it all in an express".

And most likely there will be a lot of noise about it, and some legal suits pretty fast. (These leaks aren't impossible to track). The people "enjoying" the illegal sites where these appeared might just kill their own gold goose over this.

Most likely there'll be an express package sometime soon, maybe Wed-Thur at the latest, and people will still pay - for better image quality, better subs, and obviously to support the team and actors. I highly doubt subscribers to those 5 platforms will rush to watch it in an illegal (probably international) site, instead of just using what they paid for. So overall, it might not be the worst break for the platforms, unless the leakers and watchers start mass-sharing spoilers for those who didn't watch it. And then more lawsuits will follow. It's the business way of things.

When/if you watch ep31, you'll know why she didn't get a classic education.

LOL, we ALL moan we DID start it before it ended (so we can't binge-watch and have to wait patiently for every episode). Count your blessings.

Cat-loving people are the best. Dog-loving people are also the best. Pet-loving people are the best too. I do wonder about the spider-loving people though.

And why would the grandson even matter to them, even if they're all from Lin'an?! I mean, he WAS Granny Kang's grandson, and SHE never truly liked ChangYu until one day or so before her death. How could the grandson become their insta-friend?

I wonder if this is the same in the novel or the actor (who seems to have lines, too, which is kind of telling) was parachuted into the production, as they tend to do from time to time? Oh well, no hate from me, it's a cutthroat business there too, but one does wonder.

I only read spoilers if the OP comments on what episode they're at (before commenting again under a spoiler). I recommend the same until the people who watched the leaks leave the comment section or learn better.

Granny Kang's replacement grandson wasn't in place yet to take over.

I know, I'm just as mad.

I am only up to 31, but how would the events in it could have happened before the battle? Since General He dies, and then they're all burning incense for him and the Emperor (ASAP as hell) starts spreading rewards FOR deeds in that battle.

Maybe it's something from 32? Since I haven't had time yet for it. If it is, don't spoil it, thanks :D

Because officially only up to ep32 were released (the latest, today), LOL. You won't find the rest in any of the official channels that are licensed to air this drama.

So...

ISTG I will NEVER get why people loved My Heroic Husband so much. I liked it - kinda - but it's not my choice of anything. It started so well, I liked the FL, even liked the ML for a while, then it all got way too fantastic and lost the business-oriented-man-from-the-future vibe. In the end it was just so-so. I wonder what was the draw for the people heating the index so much.

All her mother's beauty and her father's brawn or brain LOL. I fear for (their) her children. At least they'll have beauty on both sides hahaha~

So, my thinking is - if you go on the high seas for whatever reason, at least don't come and spoil the fun of others. Or brag about it. Or excuse it.

That is all.

Soooo, both Li and Wei want to use her as a cat's paw sometime in the future, maybe soon. She's too silly and unwordly yet to know the danger she's in. Li Huai'an also doesn't seem to really understand - he knows it's a trap but has no idea how to get her out of it. And he's decided she's still fair game - boy, you're a SML, sit down and shut up.

The scene with the Wei general puppet came so out of the blue, I wish they'd have left it out of the whole story, it's cringe. I mean, of all the enemies General He had, it really was General Wei from 17 years back they needed to burn in effigy next to him? Like, DRAMA, SERIOUSLY?? Burn the effigy of freaking rebelling prince who caused his death in the siege, he's fresh (you can burn his body too). I get it, most of the visiting generals bowing were from the Xie background and way back (and by the way, why weren't they in the fight?), but let's deal with current events first, shall we?

When she was self-mentoring to tell him, I was along with her - just freaking TELL him and rip off the crust off the wound. If he takes it badly that's his problem, if not, oh well.

I just have to say that I'm basically simping for one of the Man-bros (I can't keep their names down, only Mandi and now he's gone anyway) - the one with the cute peasant accent. He's hilarious. They should give him (a lot) more lines. He's just... the best!

There were some great montages this ep - YES editor, this is how you do it, you dumb@ss! - -particularly the one when they started teaching her things in that garden nook.

PS Is it me or is that Grass Garden where they're keeping everyone important like the Zhaos and the kids and QianQian pretty shabby and completely undefensible?! If, say, I were Sui-the-younger-and-crazier, I could've just tear down the door with a kick. Is this what Xie Zheng considers safety?! Boy, don't get stupid again and have them mowed down when the crazy Suis come to town!!

ETA WAIT it just hit me did they bring Granny Kang's surviving son/grandson in to replace Mandi?! *fuming* I don't even care if it happens the same in the novel.

Ok, 31st's school drama kind of healed my bad mood over 29-30 LOL.

I mean. She's a teacher's scarecrow. No matter the manner, no matter the patience... she's a a VERY hard rock. Teaching her is a death sentence LOL. (Except for our frustrated Marquis). I wonder if she'll ever have an easier time learning anything.

The one who moaned "she doesn't even know all the characters" killed me LOL. I mean - there you go, teaching her The Art of War, and she DOESN'T even get they're speaking in metaphors LOL. I'm so glad I'm not one of those poor teachers. I'd have tried to bash her brains in the third or fourth time she'd not have gotten it even after repeatedly explaining :D

Thank you, still not interested. I was speaking generally, as I haven't looked up the leaks.

I'll wait for the official realease, if only to give the artists and producing team what they've earned.

He visited her father that he was friends with in order to let him know PM Wei Yan would send assassins. So her father decided to kill himself and the wife did too. They always maintained the connection.

It wasn't so far back in the past - it's been just a few months since he died, and just a month after that Yan Zheng landed in the snow in time to be saved by her. It just feels longer.

He (the general) knows her name because - suddenly - he's the one who named her, LOL. So he's basically projecting a lot of his friendship to her dad onto her.

Anyway - the fact she seems to know and care about him is just a general trope in Ancient China dramas - "protectors of the people" - type heroes are everybody's dad in their fantasizing dream time LOL. I mean, look at her - she worshipped Xie Zheng so much she built a cenotaph to him, though she didn't know him from Adam, LOL. So she cares about General He just because he's a "father of the land" type and only then because he was her father's friend.

Or simply put - they DID worship ancestors and reverence of the elders WAS a staple of Chinese culture. She'd worship General He and be just as reverent even if they never had a personal connection of any kind, just because what he's embodying.

That still doesn't excuse the sh!tty editing these two eps.

As for the leaked eps - take it from someone who did this dance before because of wanting to see what happens: it's not worth it. They're always low-q, bad or no subs, sometimes with hardsubs over, generally a mess.

If you're able, watch it on legitimate channels and wait for the regular airing schedule. It'll be a lot more enjoyable. If you can't, please don't spoil it for the rest of us.
