Oh yea! So many of us were shipping them. That actor has my utmost respect.

And you know, that fact that he’s annoying you means he’s doing a good job as an actor because he’s definitely annoying her and a lot of the folks at the Yamen. They’re all just tolerating him b/c of his dad. I don’t want to spoil it for you but by the current airing ep 26, I’m liking him. He starts improving by eo 20-23 I think.

Yes - he doe get better. Yes, he’s an idiot right now. Pampered naive man child. As this puppy hangs out with her more, he’ll also slowly grow up. Some of his personality will still be his personality but he’ll become more respectful. I don’t think he knows she’s a she yet. That’s how clueless he is.

He will realize how his immature actions affect others and slowly grows from that. But it’s a process (like real life) and not an overnight transformation.

But I think Luo was meant to perish in that fire. Had she not gotten out to grab a midnight snack we would have no story. Her surviving was a mistake.

I thought he just had a fetishized for feisty girls

Interesting. We will see. Forgot about the eunuch. Why do I get a feeling the eunuch, officer Liu, Qin and older Qi bros are part of a network of hidden power. The oldest sickly bro looks Sus with his convo with his brother and father in ep 25-26.

Yea, I’m wondering too. I don’t believe they died so easily

Oh my goodness, good point about the altar flipping! And the great flood. I heard that there was actually evidence of a great flood from various accounts. So this idea of a do over can be traced to history? Imagine xianxia and real history.

Yes! absolutely love the open discussion and respect even when we have our different takes on characters. No hate and mud thrown at each other (for the most). I appreciate the time you guys spend to help me untangle all the details! The subs go by so fast sometimes.

Well put! Not just a cash cow drama.

NXY is the human form of TM. It’s a bit different than TM just like how MXL is different from Pearl.

LoL - seriously, everyone’s suffering because of him.

Yes, there are bigger shinier dramas with large fan bases airing right now. However, this drama is pretty good! I’m also enjoying Under the Moonlight which is an excellent drama without a large fan base.

Yes - such a delicate well woven story. I have grown to sympathize for the magistrate I and his predicament and to warm up to the silly carefree impulsive ML

Liu wan too? Interesting.

Ok guys - I am enjoying this drama so much, I spent the time to write a review of it. It doesn’t have the visibility of the other current running dramas but really deserve more viewership.

Glad to see you here. This drama has me sucked in like Blossom.

I read somewhere that he did an excellent job in the Untamed. That one one of the first c-dramas I watched but I don’t think I can rewatch it. Way too long and the villian reveal was not great - too stereotypical for my taste.

Ep 26 - is so packed and ends with more mysteries….

We have the festive lantern festival displaying all the beautiful crafts - candy making, noodle pulling, cakes, puppetry, dragons, drums, lanterns. What a beautiful vibrant scenery with the hope of love in the air.

Also, the music and sound e effects are so perfectly timed. At 35 min, moment she mentioned how fleeting the beauty and splendor of the world fades, the fireworks in the sky dies down.

That chess match gives us a hint of powerful figures possibly involved in her parents murder. Every word they say and the moves of their chess pieces have meaning behind them. They both took part in the confession of Xu Biao. These two are scary.

Then we have the mystery at the end - how can someone who loves 💰so much turn her down? Definitely, someone very powerful in the shadows….

I’m so hooked on this excellent storytelling.

Ep 24 - 25 this new villian is super creepy and scary. I am very worried for her.

On a side note, her white fur collar is so beautiful. The costuming in this series has been a pleasure to see.
