Messy last episode aside, the whole drama was the best costume drama of the year for me, it was just so complete. See I'm the person who absolutely hates seeing my fave characters being killed off, especially for the sake of sad endings. I'm a wholehearted supporter of happy endings I don't care about being realistic or whatever but here I was prepared to see people from my beloved goofy squad dying, especially with being given a hint through OST and trailers and other foreboding dialogues during the course of the drama. But I did not expect Yu ShiSan to be part of that too like when it got to there, it felt like too much. Then out of nowhere have LTG going to kill Beipan's king in middle of the night and Yuanzhou and Ruyi "losing" their lives in order to clean his mess coz let's be honest no matter how else presented, that is exactly what led to it aside from them being at war. After that why was Chu Yue of all people there for that ending and we get a plot hole of Yuanzhou and Ruyi surviving but no explanation and we don't see them. I feel like this drama needed just 2 more episodes so not all was crammed into the last two episodes but I know the limit is 40 episodes now so they can't help it which sucks. overall I have several grievances with the final two episodes but there was a lot that I liked in them too. Brilliant drama and I definitely will be rewatching nad here's to hoping they got some special episodes lined up for us.

Hoping they got some special episodes like they had for SOKP and mysterious lotus casebook coz otherwise there is a plot hole for towards the final episode. Like it was great and I don't feel disappointed but like I need explanation to how Yuanzhou and Ruyi survived and the aftermath. Let me see them in flesh coz I need my closure or I'll lose my mind.

yes I also just read somewhere that it will be tomorrow

No I don't think so. It should be just for iqiyi.

Yes. It will be open to buy on 21 December.

why did I ever decide to watch ep 36 preview I wanna die

I'm so very excited for this!!!

It's that 10 day something poison that Zhang song, that court official man in the beginning made yuanzhou take to control him while on this mission. He needs to take antidote for it every ten days. So he was being attacked by the poison and I guess he was pressing on his palm coz there might be some accupressure point there that could help with that.

Yeah right. talking about some women having to be obedient and follow virtues. That was in poor taste. Typical of a man of that times but expected better from his character still.

Don't know about long ago but it has been like this for quite a while now. Actually this is one of the better schedules. Iqiyi usually is good in that terms, you get like 16-18 episodes with 2 daily and then it you get 2-3 days, then 3-4 days of episodes and so on it continues. wetv is second best with them in my opinion. youku has the weirdest schedules with airing of episodes all over the place.

yeah same I think I'll stress myself out too much wondering what mess is waiting so might as well wait.

If you see under discussions section here, there is a topic for iqiyi episode links. If you use vpn, you can get the link from there to see the next previews. As for the airing schedule, we have a 2 days break now. 7-10 December, VIP will get 2 episodes daily, then 3 days off, next 4 days 2 episodes daily then again 3 days off and then final set of episodes will air.

Ep 18 🥲 and then preview for ep 20. I see Li tongguang being a major pain in the ass and cause of pain in near future. Let me go back to watch the trailers and see what all scenes we have not seen yet that hint towards things between Ruyi and Yuan Zhou being okay to comfort myself.

oh I do. They fit well. Not only the characters but the actors suit each other in these characters. Which is a pleasant surprise coz I didn't know how this CP would work out but I love it!

Man you know how mo qingcheng's whole squad is rooting for them and all giddy that is exactly me. I have not been a le to stop grinning and melting since episode 1.

I was halfway through the first episode and te way I'm all heart eyes looking at both Qing Qingci and shengshengman, they are so adorable and endearing. Feel like this is gonna be a comfort drama for me.

oh I feel you. I was putting off watching 9th and 10th but then I gave in and the preview for the 11th sure has me anticipating it.

binged all 10 episodes that are out so far in two days. can't wait for the final two to come! I have very enjoyed this throughout.

I got a bone to pick. no young yichan and cheong ah scene in final episode. Her father planning to send her abroad, she doesn't know about yichan's accident and that's that. and then we zoom back to the present timeline. Like what happened after his accident, how did him and cheong ah stayed together nothing was shown. Just a big hole with lot of confusion there.

Oh no wonder. Makes total sense they played siblings, they could pass for it in real too for me.
