I had started typing out a rant about how there was no development for his character to be making that choice…
a part of me that lives for the drama of it all is excited that we have a SML who's actually stirring up conflict between the leads 🙈 i've missed watching some classic love triangle action that's not just petty jealousy
the scene of MJH unfolding the xiyan forget-sorrow flower and seeing that it was folded from his painting of mei lin hurt me more than i thought it would omg??????
imagine being zhang yin waking up realising you're not dead and instead you're back in the place you escaped from after being chained in there for who knows how long LOL that's gotta be like +500 damage to his psyche
ep 10 starts off so funny lmaooo the other beauties are so graceful while mei lin has her 'killer' moves 😂 (but yes she does look very cool twirling the umbrella around in her own way)
This drama is so good everything is perfect except they didn’t keep any intrigue and this makes it a bit boring.…
i personally like that they cut out the identity intrigue (aside from for mei lin still not knowing that MJH is the actual shadow works master) earlier so that they can focus on carrying out the revenge plot! it's more interesting to me that we're getting new discoveries like how a conspirator involved in the massacre wasn't actually killed
me, thinking of how many memories MJH has of mei lin + her undying flowers: yeah. sure
(too bad for LM, her plum blossoms don't evoke anything in MJH lol)
