On In the Name of Blossom Jul 6, 2025
Title In the Name of Blossom Spoiler
Sorry, rant coming.

Ok, I did it. I watched ep 12 (well almost, I couldn't watch after JCY got stabbed in probably the lungs and still kept talking) and burst out laughing. As a physician, I just couldn't torture myself to accept that it was physically possible. And I continued laughing - not because there's any comedy intended in the episode but because of how ridiculous the past 10-15 minutes are in this episode. The absolute lack of logic and set up in the writing and the absolute unnecessary "drama" needed in a story already packed with dramatic people (Liu Chang and the princess seem actually more reasonable after the weirdness of today's episode) are astounding. I am amazed that the actors could even still emote given the ridiculous lines given to them.

If that is really all there is to this episode, I cannot believe how crazy this show has turned out to be. I hope I will be proved wrong, but nothing in JCY's expression or performance of the scenes at the end indicate to me there's anything else behind it all.

Of course he’s alive. He took that little note in the prison to help him escape. He is fully behind the whole…
Yes, that trifecta of evil, sadism and dumbism is just getting to me lol. But I'll wait and see how it all happens. Maybe there's a twist.

the mother was probably poisoned by someone powerful because she knew too much. And our ML, dutiful, tortured,…
I haven't watched 12 yet...maybe I'll wait until 13-14 come out so I can speed through that.

LOL! Sorry I laughed but that's not how you do CPR.
As a physician, I had to roll my eyes at that, but that cliff dive was funny.

lol, I like your theory. At this point it could be where everything is going

I just want to say that the Chinese drama industry will likely fade if they continue to prioritise looks over…
I first saw Liu Lingzi in A New Life begins and really liked her there. I agree she's been great here - she has that classic Chinese period drama female lead energy.

Cliff dive - as in the typical trope? Fall but somehow survive? Will there be amnesia?
Yes, classic C drama trope...lol amnesia, we'll see.

There aren’t many fictional characters I would actually marry if they were real, but I would marry Jiang Chang…
Yes, one of my favorite male leads ever lol

I find it quite unbelievable that the empress of an enemy kingdom can come and go as she pleases and out of everyone…
There's a lot of suspension of disbelief needed to watch this show lol. But I never read the original novel, so I don't know if it is any different.
Replying to Soryuu Aya Brea Jul 4, 2025
I had high expectations for the friend’s brother character and I was hoping he will show up eventually after…
Yep, that’s why the thing that happens in ep 6 falls flat for me.

Take things on weibo with a HUGE grain of salt. Having said that, I think most of Deng Wei's fans just want to…
Yeah there's all kinds of wild stuff, and who knows, maybe half of it is true. To me, because there's been no official response or statement, all of this poop gets flown around. We'll see.

As far as the funding, a lot of money went into making the sets and costumes, so I'm not so convinced about that. For what it's worth, filming is going on as I type this, so we'll see how the finished product looks.

there's a lot of on going issue about this drama i saw on weibo. the production crew, casts, roles, plot, like…
Take things on weibo with a HUGE grain of salt. Having said that, I think most of Deng Wei's fans just want to make sure he isn't bullied. The production team's strategy seems to be one of silence lol since the beginning, so who knows for sure.

But that nonsense about filming being stopped is not real. I suspect there are some malicious people out there too trying to throw shade at this drama, at Deng Wei, etc. I generally try not to waste too much time on it, but it is a shame that so much crap is out there on weibo, etc.
