The last 2 episodes were the best. The introduction of more supporting roles and Shi ying coronation was so good. I loved the flower bridge scene. Shiying looking at Zhu Yan talking looks so gentle (AHHH my heart). I want to see their relationship grow, give me some more sweetness before the angst. Zhu Yan is also growing on me. She maybe immature but she is kind and knows how to be grateful. I also want a chatterbox Zhu Yan to keep me company.

Maybe we can put it into a discussions thread in the top.

Why bother getting your revenge and getting your hands dirty when you can coach a young child instead. That is Da Si Ming motto😂

I am really liking how clearly defined the politics in the drama and the characters's clans are well shown. Instead of using a voiceover at the beginning, the drama uses the characters to show the different clans and to show the status of the mermans/ shark people in Kongsang.

And here was me thinking that I was actually getting to see Han Dong in a non villain role. He is really committed to playing villain roles.

I thought that happened because he dropped the umbrella. Well if he turns into a gerbil everytime a girl touches him, it is gooing to cause some interesting problems. I have been seeing discussions about what type of creature it is, some peole saying it is a cat, mouse and a hamster. You are the first person to say gerbil

So the scene from episode 1 is somwthing that will be revisited later. I personally think they put it in to show the properties of the jade bone hairpin. It is somethinv that happens after Shiying and Zhu yan become master and disciple. Also the show is taking place on earth in a kingdom called Kongsang.

Unfortunately no. I just saw it on twitter in passing.

They already released some book marks and stuff in China that got sold out. Need to wait and see if it will be available internationally.

She was good in Cry me a Sad River but I especially liked her in Serenade of Joy.

No it is just antis downrating it. It is a quite bingeable drama.

I agree. That part especially a pregnant woman being so ready to lay down her life didn't make much sense. Unless they show us the fetus was unstable or that her death was an illusion.

Maybe this will help in answering

From what I understood was that master made changes to his fate to hide Shi ying using astrological signs. At the same time Zhu Yan also performed sacrificial rites for him. You can't perform sacrifical rites for a living person. This interfered with the astrological signs an ddistorted the changes therefore shiying must avoid Zhu Yan at all costs becuase she is the one destined to reveal him thereby causing him calamity.

I am waiting to find out that either the mermaid concubine baby was unstable so that's why she decided to do the trap and frame shiying or that they faked her death.

I think a thread needs to be made above about the major plot points. That way no need to keep amswering the same questions.

Can you explain further why you felt there was a plot hole?

Really glad that they seemed to have changed the age difference in the novel.

They showed the part where shiying becomes an adult and is crowned in the trailer. I guess the future episodes will show this.

I am laso happy that the opening and ending credits don't reveal too much of the drama. I hate when dramas do that. That is the small thing I am happy about in this drama.
