DW has two characteristics as a profile: the ability to overcome and the countless affectives losses.What do you…
True, YZJ’s death wouldn’t be some profound epiphany for DW, she’s already seen life’s ugliest sides and felt its sharpest edges. Every loss she’s endured has been a brutal teacher, leaving lessons carved deep into her very being. His death wouldn’t be about growth or resilience anymore, it would just be another cruel proof that life doesn’t care how much you’ve tried, how much you’ve fought. Instead of a turning point, it’d be a breaking point - a question of how much one heart can take before it shatters completely.
This story is about DW’s rise, her hard-won journey from despair to a life worth celebrating. If YZJ’s gone, what’s left of that triumph? A success that's hollow, a victory that rings empty in the silence of loss. Let’s hope the writers choose hope over heartbreak, because DW deserves a win that’s full, not fractured.

Good point. I think, by episode 30, YZJ is finally realizing that he can spend his remaining (hopefully 60+ years) time with DW, if he's brave enough to choose her. If he’d reached this clarity earlier, SMZ might never have existed. But maybe they needed that time apart. DW had to transform into SMZ, finding her own strength, while YZJ had to face his fears and see that DW isn’t someone who needs shielding from the harsh truths of life. Their separation wasn’t just painful, it was purposeful - building them into people who could face life, death, and love together without fear or guilt holding them back.

Curious, what do you think DW would do if she knew the truth?
In my view, of course, YZJ could have laid everything bare, told DW the truth about the bandits, begged her not to follow him, and asked her to wait safely in some distant city. But does that sound like DW? This is the same fiercely loyal, headstrong woman who’s never backed down from a fight, let alone abandoned someone she loves. YZJ knows her too well, knows that even if he pleaded, even if he commanded, even if he breaks up with her after telling her the truth... she’d still chase vengeance with or without him. He had to drug her to stop her from following him to Piti Spring, even though he was willing to take her at the beginning... until he realized that she could have died when she was kidnapped.
Also, YZJ is far from perfect. His decisions, while rooted in love, are also undeniably flawed and selfish. His inability to trust DW with the truth reflects his own fears and insecurities. It’s as much about his guilt and his need to control the situation as it is about protecting her.
Oh, I wonder how a certain someone got people into the prison to poison the asswipe? That’s what happens when…
I've lost count of how many times I've revisited the thumb kiss scene, it’s pure artistry. The clouds obscuring the moon, her thumb blocking the kiss, her tears, it’s not just symbolic; it’s so memorable. Their first drunken night under the full moon speaks volumes about trust and connection. The glow of that moment shines on their growing understanding of each other.
But the second drunken night? DW is setting clear boundaries, and her hesitation, rooted in the fear of being hurt again, is real and relatable, so human. And then YZJ, with his sad eyes and brave smile, quietly placing their joined hands over his heart, their foreheads gently touching? It’s like he’s saying, “The choice is yours. I’ll be here, waiting.” It’s not just romantic; it’s profoundly patient and vulnerable. That moment feels like a quiet promise they made to each other.
You’ll understand the method of his madness as you go.
Totally understandable. I was rooting for DW to aim a little higher- like, go for the spot that really makes him rethink his life choices, not just his footwear. 🤭 YZJ isn’t exactly Prince Charming material, but hey, he’s got a heart, it’s just locked up in an iron fortress, and DW’s the only one with the key and the guts to crack it open.
Because for them things just happened in a few days 😭😭 so of course no one looks for poison, the cure is…
I believe the bandit leader Li Kui. Not sure about CSJ... her plans have 0% success rate so far. 😂 But who knows—maybe she’ll accidentally stumble into a cure like a clumsy genius. If she does end up saving YZJ, the irony would be 💯😆
DW's adoptive parents have a daughter, so a step sister. DW mentioned it to YZJ during the full moon scene.
What if one of her female friends turns out to be the step sister? I just rewatched the first five episodes on Netflix yesterday Lady 8's death still breaks my heart. And DW’s screams of ‘Come with me!’? Ugh, somehow it hit even harder the second time.
