I think having Song close to Mingshu means that the killers dare not strike or that Prince Rui might be persuaded to provide protection once she opens the Jewelry store. I think that Lu Chang might have already thought that having Song nearby is useful. He can't openly compete for her love as long as she is protected by being thought of as his sister.

True. Commoner but 'sister' to a scholar that was the prefectural graduate (top examinee?) who happened to save a friend of the family and now she is associated with Mr Song, with imperial connections. And becoming the reading lady and expressing belief in Shujun when nobody else publicly supported her gained credence with her Mother. And you could tell early on that Shujun's problem was that she didn't want to get married. I think that Song will become important in why those killers don't try to kill her in the Capital. I think that Lu Chang already figured that out and that is why he allows Song to get close to her.

They've left the big omission of those people who are looking kill her. And they knew that she was probably in the Capital with Lu Chang. Not impressing on her that danger spring any time that she walks outdoors. They should have made her change her appearance. But her connection to the Lu Chang and his Mother makes it easy to track her down. So I guess that her association with Song , Shjun and Prince Rui will stay their as long as she remembers nothing. But we have indications that bit by bit, she will start to remember. That comment by Shujun that that she was willing to accept Prince Rui because he accepted her despite the scandals probably foreshadows why Mingshu will accept Lu Chang even after she remembers his rejection. As a brother, he supported her, protected her and stood by her side.

True. But upon refection, I'm thinking about ep. 3 when Pei was intending to watch her bathe and the talk veered to 'unspeakable secrets.' He intended it to be about her, but she flipped it to be about him. She remarked that she noticed that he was much stronger than other eunuchs and then tried to touch his Adam's apple. I already knew that he wasn't castrated, but later thought that that scene was a hint to us. That was what I was thinking of when I made my comment.

I think that the real secret is that both babies were switched at birth.

True. But his is prominent. And we could see it the first time she asked about his manhood. Back in ep. 2 or 3 or maybe later.

His Adam's apple should be proof enough.

The Blessed Bride (2022) with Amy Sun was a comedy. The comedy comes from the silly parts. It came out the same time as A Familiar Stranger and I enjoyed both equally. Don't pay attention to the low 7.0 MDL score. Some have complained about the ending, but pay attention at 3:01 as the FL rides in the carriage with her maid in the final episode to understand switch.

Castration at a early age prevents the formation of the Adam's apple (larynx's growth) in adults. So he isn't.

Apparently allowed him to die, The Emperor was dying.

I guess the downer for me is that he and his friends were all executed in the past. He did meet her doppelganger in the past but she served to pass down that handkerchief to the present.

The ending is to be expected. But not satisfying.

Ep. 7. 13:21 Han-deul is giving the "I'm interested," vibes. With her eyes and the swaying of her face side to side. She is several streets ahead of Gi-jun who is kinda clueless.

If they intend to wrap up both timelines, ep. 9 should have seen the resolution of the present day trouble and ep. 10 should be about deciding on going back to face certain death.
I'd hate if the ending has him about to return to the past.

The Road Runner is a bird native to the American Southwest. It can run as well as fly.

Worth a look and worth a re-watch.

Seems to be pointing that way. His being absorbed by the Eight-Feet Spirit so that he will have no future interaction with the Yeo Ri points to the dragon being the end game. Plus the imugi has express interest in her beyond using her body to ascend.

Yes, very enjoyable. But the director and screenwriter didn't set up the romance part well and didn't execute it well. Bits and pieces were done well, but were not connected well enough. The ML was not only introduced as a blustery entitled person but he was saddled with being the comedic element. His good points were made obvious too little and too late. They also made Muzhi too attractive compared with Menglin and many viewers were unhappy.

Smart FL and ML . check

Willing to trust in the other's love. check

He knows that they had a history that he can only know by reading her letters and that even those memories won't carry over to the next day. But she has love enough to fill both of their hearts. And she brought him back from non existence.
