watching raw episodes on other sites :) Too good to wait a few days for subs, but I do rewatch with subs as well.

lost his manhood before he had the chance. I think we see him only touch her shoulder, then as he moves his face in front of hers, she spews blood on him. lol, when his unit was destroyed, the wick in the candle fell and was snuffed out. had to rewatch that part.

I see what they did. First soften us up w/our OTP in 37 & 38, then beat us down in 39 & 40 T_T ...now keep us in suspense for 41 & 42. Loving that our Zhan Beiye is back!

If you have a Korean market nearby, you can usually find seeds or seedlings there, if not online. Definitely not to be confused with Japanese shiso, but in the same family. Taste is different.

You might also remember, but that crazy elder princess from Taiyuan Kingdom, was married to Prince De. He left her for Wuji's mom. Not 100%, but I think he's responsible for their daughter's death.

perilla leaf.

Ok, it's a bit better w/subs, but I swear Shan Cai is frustratingly slow and a busybody. I know it's all scripted, but I just finished 7 and was irritated to see how she took those smacks without fighting back. I guess no room for flying kicks...

edit: just watched episode 8 and am completely annoyed w/the female lead. Gah, she's so stupid. =_=

Keep watching. I felt that way too, but the annoying concubine storyline will pass pretty quickly...well, once you reach epi 28. You'll feel considerably better then.

I'm enjoying the Instagram and Twitter posts from the links krystalsoojungs posted. They have some of the core scenes subbed/translated.

Rejoice, Monday is almost here! ...never thought I'd ever look forward to the start of the week so much. Here's another preview for tomorrow's episode #37 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpqDSWICAeY

I have major bags from lack of sleep. I just keep watching/rewatching and looking for spoilers. The translation of the novel is not complete, so it's torture waiting for both drama and novel to air and update.

Might anyone know if there's a site to read further translation of novel, or recommendations for other epic dramas?

Oh wow, thank you for that spoiler, Vivian! On wiki for the drama, they noted fake Fo Lian as the one that caused the death of Fuyao's mother. Unsure if she actually killed her or was the reason behind her death that ties the doctor in...or if it will be a completely different storyline not involving the doctor at all.

Monday cannot come soon enough.

You actually answered my question, thank you Vivian :) Might you know how and why the doctor knows? Just read the twitter feed where the poster noted that he knew from the beginning that she was Fo Lian. Unsure if that's how it's played out in the novel or just the drama.

Another spoiler...Prince Nutless (Yi) threatened that doctor to tell his father that his "down there" is fine and that he can still have children. None of that is true and he's wicked bitter and going around abusing and killing female servants.

Fuyao has no idea of her past and her memories were locked away by a spell. Doctor knows that Fuyao is the real "Lotus Princess" Fo Lian and that the other one is a fake, but has not told Wuji. Wuji still thinks the Fo Lian that is imprisoned is the real one, but knows she's not good. That paper/document he gave her listed all the evil things she's done. She (fake Fo Lian) is carrying a crystal to keep her from getting ill while she was the one spreading the plague. // This is what my friend told me as we watched episode 36.

My friend who speaks Chinese and is caught up on the episodes told me that the doctor is aware that Fuyao is the real Fo Lian, but hasn't told Wuji. Did anyone else catch that and if so, any idea why he hasn't shared it with him yet?

Guessing, and I could be wrong, it has to do with the plot by the Ancient Firmament where our main characters' (except Fuyao) masters are conspiring...

Thank you, AvaStar12! There's been so many chapters. Was it another character that died from touching that poison wooden buddha statue. Do you mind if I ask if the novel has a happy ending? I remember reading they had a child in spoilers posted, but don't remember the details.

so damn satisfying.

Oh yeah, the princess had a rounder face which it appears to be from the slight profile we saw. (Thank you for mentioning that. Totally forgot about the princess.)

In the book though, the princess dies (if I remember correctly) from touching poison wood from a buddha statue. The drama and novel storylines are different.

Just finished episode 32. Not sure if it's the actors acting out their roles or if it's the actors themselves (possibly a mix of wishful thinking on my part), but Fuyao/Yang Mi seems to have good chemistry with the doctor/Lai Yi. It felt a bit like that in "Ten Miles..." as well.

The doctor doesn't seem to have that chemistry with Qi Zhen's daughter. Maybe it will change later in the drama...
