Someone is going to say that the clan was wiped out but I dont see that, not in this drama, so far.

i dont know why, that some people in here, has defend on eps 31-32, that ML has right to divorce his wife, eventhough…
While that was the most painful divorce I have seen so far in cdrama, it did seem awfully easy to do and thus sort of easy to reverse, since it is all about feelings. Maybe the fact that each one of them is independently wealthy made it easier...

'Right' I dont know, but for different classes money matters, just as with us -- the division of assets etc. But as a person with royal connections and a wealthy mother YeLi did not have to return to Li Mountain at all. She wasnt being abandoned the way people here seem to imagine.

The reason that was a cruel thoughtless thing to do was that YeLi was terribly vulnerable psyc hologically, and in his anger or whatever that was it looks like Yao wasnt thinking about her atall.

I guess this is an historical query about actual divorce practices in different eras etc in ancient china. There must be a book.

And just one of those plot hole sensibilities -- what YeLi said to the evil Su Di Er applies equally to her -- she must, absolutely must, have some far-flung members of her Mom's family clan somewhere, yet so far she has not availed herself of them.

Title The First Jasmine Spoiler
I couldn't have said it better myself. I feel the same way.
I have my arm above my head to ward off fans, but I expected BaiLu to put out more effort on the next episode after the psychological transformation in 33-34. She really did a great job on that, her weeping was wonderful, and her fear and her relief,,,but now? Episode 35 was really a letdown. Cute but.... The days of actresses getting by with a handful of expressions has gone; did they film the vivid scenes first and then she got bored?, .

Jin Cheol is a veteran. Veterans are complex characters. In the US we can handle a reference to one or the other of the lousy wars we have been involved in without our hair lighting on fire. Soldiers follow orders.
Korean series' scriptwriters are kind of crap about writing stuff for the outside world too.

I'm laughing at the fact that people think rate bombing a tv show on this page is actually gonna do something.…
It was the same with when the phone rings. If people want to help the palestinians write letters and go to demonstrations.

Netflix doesnt care what those people write on an english language discussion board. Netflix' biggest base of subscribers is in LatinAmerica WHO DO NOT CARE ABOUT MDL RATINGS!!!!!!!.

ll this nonsense activism is just humiliating to their lazy selves. Anybody actually in the movement is looking at this and saying, "Get off the couch and go do some real good."

Title The First Jasmine Spoiler
Looking at the Ep35 teaser after34

A sudden drop in pressure. Interesting in terms of structure. Viewers have criticized other long compilations of romance and palace intrigue as not being connected enough.

Here is one solution. Wrap up the grandiose part early (more or less) and return to earlier scenes. The shop and the dreadful Ye family?

Yes, the Rebel Prince is to come, but yet another evil Dowager has fallen and the weak vacillating young Emperor has been pushed onto the throne. Those themes -- the people's will, the throttling of the literati, the idea of martyrdom as a way to fight injustice are very rapidly wrapped up.

The Dowager's evil is framed as a result of the Confucian refusal to let women out of the house. Yet that somehow is a colorless suggestion -- she dreams of her friends, the scholarly women accusing her of evil deeds, transforming her evil into the standard individual blame for corruption, but this scene is weak and washed out in execution.

Thank goodness, Ye Li did not shred the straw doll but put it away to await events. Now we will have rebellion, assassins, the more intimate plots? As well as commerce and marriage...

ep34

This sequence, visuals talking.
At the burial ground in the past.
Her face.
The array of grave markers which she has erected.
Then a perfect echo of those markers (spacing) in the peaks of the mountains nearby from a moderate distance, rising out of the mist.
Then the grass and bamboo at ground level with ants busy at transporting large dry pieces of stuff. some seconds there.
Her face again.

I looked, or rather asked, at/about how First Jasmine is doing on the mainland and I think the numbers were very good. Who is the person who always breaks these things down for us? Yoo-hoo!

Ep33
My favorite part -- when he tells her in bed that he used to be afraid of death (too).

So do the investigators arrive but he tells them to wait for two days, am I right?

He wanted the time to show her the little cemetary she made. So that the investigators couldnt bully her or push her around when she was fragile and confused.

Wow. So she really is quite crazy. Shades of Chinese opera.
Yes, perhaps I didnt put that very correctly. My mind was wandering down the path of the 'mad scene' in plays or novels. Not really thinking about real people but about the universe of perception that art explores.
