This was mentioned the moment MoWan finds her sister's body hidden, but being kept on ice. She literally says that both the memories had merged into her (that body/consciousness) I'm going to take a leap and say that MoXin's soul is now in MoWan's body but has access to both of their memories BUT also that MoWan's soul is gone along with MoXin's body. I think MoXin might always remain in MoWan's body at this point. & that MoWan's soul is already gone because MoXin's body which housed it is gone.

oh geez. that'd be... weirdly fitting. HA!

Zalim Instanbul was sooooo good to begin with but, my goodness, did it begin to get ridiculous and drawn out. Her little sister was evil incarnate for WAY too long in that drama. YIKES. The acting was fabulous though for sure!

IF she does go back to her own body... what even happens then? She used and abused her little sister's own body/memories/etc for her of ends & revenge. Her sister has 0 say in the matter. IF they end up back in their respective bodies, does Mo Wan or Mo Xin get the prince? I mean, Mo Xin is loving the prince in Mo Wan's body and using that same body to sleep with the Emperor. Ick. One she's done with her sis's body... where does that leave her little sister beside used, abused, and discarded? There is NO way both of them can live until the end. None. Unless it has an even more ridiculous ending than I'm anticipating. -_-

meh. the problem with this drama besides the horrendous editing is there can be NO real "good ending".

This show, based on the plot, should be filled with lots of fun stuff. Action. Romance. Political Intrigue... etc. and should have kept me super interested... BUT it all just come off extremely boring by episode 12. The ML + FL are booooooring. The other couple is cute, but too cute for this serious drama. The pacing is FAST, like, too fast for any character development, but still somehow it seems like nothing important really happens. It's so weird. I feel like two different dramas were filming at the same location (because of the weirdly serious first leads and the weirdly "cutesy" second leads) & the shows accidentally merged during filming and they just left it as is rather than separate the two into their respective drama genres. lol

I was super super upset for a while over the last episodes. This drama was a pleasant surprise for me and I felt like someone jerked the floor from beneath me by the end. To be honest, no matter what anyone says... I hate that the ML... UNGH.

It is sad. The costumes and acting are really very decent and I'm in love with the emperor's voice and the FL is okay... but nothing makes me feel super invested in how their story will play out for some reason. No matter how it ends, I'll likely feel "meh" about it all. No bueno. :(

I wasn't watching it, but I'd been eyeing it. I saw some negative comments on the show's MDL page, so I hesitated to begin watching it. I think I'll give it a go, but I don't think I can handle another drama at the moment that doesn't draw you in and feel super invested in the characters and their journey. lol . The worst thing a drama can do (in my humble opinion) is make you feel lukewarm/MEH about the characters and wether they live or die. -_-

YES. All of what you said.

thank you! I may just go ahead and continue watching it now!!

P.S. How are you liking Renascence?

Song of Glory was probably one of the best of 2020 for me! I really enjoyed that one this year. Joy of Life... I think I watched a few episodes, but put on hold. I don't remember why. I may need to give that one a go again for sure! Serenade of Peaceful Joy I read about but am pretty sure it would not be my cup of tea either. I may have to do a rewatch of an old fav at this point. lol ^_^

realllly want to love this one more but I'm finding the episodes are super repetitive. Ungh. I need a fabulous historical to watch. I think I've seen ALL the amazing ones LOL But, seriously. :-(

I would adore this drama SO much more if the FL didn't look perpetually 12yo. :( Kind of ruins the "romance" feel when it looks like they paired a 12yo FL with a 20yo ML. She just looks wayyyy to young for this role.

wth just reading the synopsis has got me like WHUUUUT? #MustWatchItNow

Not sure about this drama yet (only a few episodes in) but I can say I now have a girl crush on Wu Jia Yi. What a fabulous actress and character!!! She's a scene stealer for SURE! LOVE.

Si YIN is a manipulative dick until the end. & Ya LONG was not. He loved the FL for who she was when she was reincarnated and he was true to his feeling as a Deity. Ya Long & Ye Yin were wronged from day one and wronged through both seasons. The ending is shit because of this reason.

just finished this and though I adored it for what it was... the only major thing that sticks out to me is: (see spoiler)

I can officially say that the final episode was the biggest and hottest mess I've seen in a long while. This Lakorn.... eesh. -_- I'll just write a full review soon. It won't be pretty. So many lovely actors/actresses all ruined with horrendous story telling.
