In real life it probably would affect the baby, DZ rather would be safe. But it's fictional world with the poison of hatred. Can be cured by the power of love ;)

Maybe the question should be: has he EVER been good?
Why we all assume that the monk was a good person. When FL was analysing the book (Story of Enlighten Era or sth) she said there was a great strategist on the rebellious side that allowed them to be successful. In this lifetime she also wondered when he became monk in the previous life.
He might even be a mastermind.

I think the biggest difference with the Double is that Blossom is better paced. I liked the Double as a story but skipped a lot of scenes there.
Blossom doesn't have unnecessary scenes like five minute long scene of a woman and falling petals or sth as it was in the Double;)

I'm really confused about him. In the frist lifetime he was a monk and said FL and ML was fated and were able to change the destiny. Now, it seems he tries to keep FL from intervening with the history. I wonder what is his final goal?

I think thay maybe it seems better developed when you know both the drama and the novel.
As I've seen only the drama it's convincing to me how he turned out to be a villain. It was showed enough times in the show that he was aware of the misdeeds and ignore them. I expected him to turn evil from the beginning and was confused when he had nice interactions with FL's merchant friend.

I feel you. The wait is difficult. Especially as I started this drama by accident.
I thought it was in the "Shows ending this week" section so I checked the first episode and loved the drama. Only later I realised it was "shows trending this week" and it's still airing.

You forget that he was revealed as an illegitimate child. He's no longer secure as the second young master. Also, he saw that Song Mo can be harsh and cruel towards him and won't abandon his plans of revenge for his brother sake.
It makes sense that he joins the villains so he can get himself a new position.
And remember that he knew about many bad things his father did and has chosen to ignore them so far. He wasn't good to begin with so there's no surprise he's turning evil in the end.

After ep 26 I actually like the way it was made. The ML's first reaction to keep FL in the dark about the poison made sense in this story. ML used to be alone all his life and do things by himself so he's first reaction was to deal with the problem the same way=by himself. Also, it made sense according to the historical settings.
But FL fought for the communication and it was resolved quickly. Now, they're stronger than before.
Really well made.

Personally, I have no theory about that old guy. Let's see how it ends.

I think she killed herself when her son didn't acknowledge her.

I agree. He could react so many times before but prefered to turn blind eye.
Even if he's not a villain, he's similar to FL's father. Both their stories show that you can't be a really good person if you are passive. The bad things that happen because you didn't react makes you into a bad man.

Not yet. I still believe FL will make ML see reason again in the next episode.

FL hugs ML but he disentangles from her arms. I don't remember the words but it's sth like "I've promised to protect you, now I'm useless, you're better off without me".
I keep my fingers crossed it's only teasing us and they continue to communicate.

I think it would be more control than manipulation. Or he's totally kept in the dark. But that would mean he's another weak character. To allow himself to be swayed so often, so much.

I hope the preview was misleading and MC will quicly solve this between them.
But ep26 preview was the first one that didn't make me want to see the next episode.

I just wonder: why the emperor allows all of these things to happen? His best friend, ML's uncle, was murdered and he wrapped it under the rug. Wu Shan was sentenced to death just to get his uncle to resign. It seems the emperor can't do all he wants but I always thought that emperor's word was the law.
What could force the emperor to quietly end the investigation?

I agree. It stopped being cute long ago. But in some dramas there's a lot of kissing scenes in BTS but little in the drama. Maybe that way is better suited for censorship.

That's why I'm choosing to see it as a friend being dissapointed in loosing his close position as long as he doesn't openly declare 😂 Which I hope never happens.

I know on which scenes your theory is based. It's just that I don't want him to develop romantic feelings toward FL when she's already married and in love. Also, he's rather ruthless. If he was to fight for love he wouldn't care for other and could turn against ML.
The thing that puzzles me is how his previous life fits with his current feelings? He said the leads are fated together. And it's hinted his aware of reliving all these situations.

Yeah, first I thought that the poison triggered by hatred is ridiculous and unrealistic (a surprise in this otherwise realistic drama). But it alignes with the rest of the story when FL rescues from going on hate/revenge rampage.
And gives hope for the happy ending.
