also shoutout to the plastic uterus model for being the funniest visual motif i've ever seen in a movie
it appears quite a few times in the movie after jaehee steals it from the obgyn's office, and at the end apparently heungsoo still keeps it around haha
ML's reaction isn't that surprising and her trust in the 2ml isn't either. Technically, she's known the 2ml and…
i'm so glad you wrote out exactly what i was thinking hah i was surprised at some of the comments. it makes perfect sense that ML would be upset at innocent lives being involved considering the fact that she's already traumatised by the 100,000 qingzhou deaths @_@
Can we praise the editing team of this drama. I find the editing top notch
i really like the flashback transitions (usually CP's scenes iirc) where the camera pans from the character to a scene played by the younger actors without any cuts when the memory plays out in the same location... it's such a nice change from the usual flashbacks that just replay clips + slap a b&w/sepia filter on top
I've seen some toxic unrequited love in other dramas but this one takes the cake. We have MULTIPLE people not…
true true, i'm reminded of another person's comment on here about how the siblings are pretty naïve. they'll have to learn the hard way just how messy court politics can get. i'll applaud the writers if they properly flesh out the siblings' character development, but we'll have to wait and see what happens...

(please use a spoiler tag!) those are all very reasonable points and i agree, but then again we need some unreasonable characters to stir up ALL the drama 😂
the CP's obsession is the most convincing for me rn because his entire personality is based on his complex about being the eldest son + being borne from a concubine + having to be more Responsible compared to the other princes (which makes me laugh because does he think being emperor will make his life easier?)
so far LM's been acting as a dedicated general who puts great yan above everything else, so i really hope at some point she'll learn to let go of her unrequited love... but the fact that she wants to send out that marriage decree makes me nervous. what a waste of her character if she ends up aligning with the CP just because she can't get MJH for herself
i don't have strong feelings about YQ and his sister for now hahaha i think they come from a good place even if they're misguided (also tbh i'm enjoying the writing for the SML — for once it's a love triangle situation that's exciting to watch! hopefully the writers don't make me eat my words later on LOL)
considering how big youku is, i wonder why they can't ever do a spectacular job with their eng subs... some translations get oversimplified or lose the original context
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??????

(on another note — use the spoiler tag please!)
i can't take them seriously 😂😂😂 just MOVE ON!
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)
