WJY killed it with her crying scene here too huhu i'm as heartbroken as i was back when she grieved over her closest maid's death in SOYP 🥲 the choked-off sobs... the immeasurable grief............ she acted her heart out
I felt no sympathy for him or her. I didn't even want to look at him.
oh yes we got hints of a final confrontation scene between XFF and JSR in one of the trailers so i hope we get to see her suffering 🤞 a quick death would be too merciful
The difference is that in Royal Feast, a'li was her childhood nickname that only those closest to her (family…
it's also one of my top favs!!! i know some people think the romance was disappointing but for me it hit all my favourite tropes haha, and it developed pretty realistically. the narrative drama in RF feels a bit more understated(?) but it's super satisfying all around, and overall i just really love the layers in the story and each character (thinking about matron meng, zhanji's mother, the concubine/assassin, etc — their motivations transformed throughout the different arcs, and i love that recurring characters were very fleshed out!)
the bathtub scene in RF was A+++ i still giggle to myself when i watch clips of their kiss there
😉 I don't like cliffhangers, they make me nervous haha, TD has a nice round up episodes....🙂
haha i get what you mean! i don't necessarily like them either but at least i can count on a cliffhanger to be the connecting thread to the next ep... now i just have so many thoughts from the ep 29-30 previews ((sweating))
why didn’t the garden guy (duke su people) wasn’t there when thr guy tried to kill the FL and ended up killing…
he had to be away for the plot 😔 (i guess he was still escorting the ventriloquist away from the scene and that's why he didn't make it back in time...)
had to skip that scene between JSR and the imperial diviner like sorry girl i know where you're coming from but they could never make me sympathise with you 🙏
They are not fillers. It's a revenge Drama against step mother, ex husband and princess, ex mother and sister…
yes, agreed! i don't think any of the episodes have been fillers at all. the screenwriter clearly knows what they're doing by tweaking the novel plot points to fit within the constraints of a 40-episode drama
honestly i think "fillers"* are important for the overall narrative too. i've been enjoying this drama because of the rich cast of characters
not to mention that i've seen comments asking why JSR is so hellbent on getting rid of JL — this episode shows us why! plus now XFF is more informed and has gained another motivation to redress the injustice both JL's mom and aunt hu has suffered
(*i put this in quotes bc actual filler episodes don't have any relevance to the main content of the drama. today's ep is not a filler; it's clearly intended to be significant exposition to help XFF build her case against JSR 🫡 it ultimately keeps the plot moving forward)
JSR saying "i'm not vicious enough" girl what!!!! yes she's probably just perpetuating her family's cycle of abuse but she chose to harm an innocent child and then ordered her maid to throw the body into the water to cover up her crime like... that's real villain shit. she's a top scorer in the vicious department
The difference is that in Royal Feast, a'li was her childhood nickname that only those closest to her (family…
yes!!! i really enjoyed the depth of her character in Royal Feast ^_^ i also feel that her nickname in RF has deeper ties with her backstory. i just found it cute how it suits her in both dramas (and now i'm thinking about how she's gotten into identity shenanigans twice now haha)
