One thing I cannot wrap my mind around is Song Han. He seems to be 'good' but when you see his actions and secrets that he hides from his brother, that's when I start suspecting his intentions and why he always defends his father whilst knowing majority of the dirty deeds their father did. He seems like a very sly character for now.
I just wonder: why the emperor allows all of these things to happen? His best friend, ML's uncle, was murdered…
It seems to me that he is being controlled and manipulated by someone very close to him. My suspicion is the empress or crown prince. On the other hand, I also suspect that he is being poisoned with a pill that can control him something like that. He evidently cares about Song Mo and Jiang family.
they'll probably cure it since cast gave hint of this drama being HE
I think we can trust the cast when they said this is a HE?? 🥺 they wouldn't fool us right huhu I need to end this year with one HE drama. All I watched so far are full of SE/OE 😭 I need a break.
More episode 24.Do you think they've consummated the marriage yet? Trying to figure out how she could have possible…
I was rolling my eyes while watching that scene. I absolutely have no sympathy for WTY. I have seen clips they will have a really steamy scene and I think we might get it in upcoming episodes, so for now I don't think they have consummated yet. It seems she will get pregnant by ep 29 so it might happen either ep 28 or 27. I noticed that the scene when Dou Zhao visited Song Mo's camp during his birthday, they were about to kiss again but the scene got cut suddenly.
I think it isn't love arc. He's still her friend. Maybe he gets a little jealous that he's no longer her closest…
I share the same sentiments with you, I didn't want him to develop romantic feelings for her too and become a 2nd ML because it really didn't fit the narrative of his wise character knowing he was the same monk in previous life. However, the director is clearly taking that direction here. On the other hand, I think we should take into account that this is their second life, FL is only one who remembers the past at the same time, we were shown how some of the characters turned to have different personalities/fates compared to their previous life, an example of that is Dou Ming and Wu Shan. So, as I expressed in my earlier comment, I was disappointed with this arc in the story.
It’s the director’s style 😂 and they cry without crying. lol
"they cry without crying" I disagree with what you mean here, the actors delivered a convincing enough performance during this scene even if the tears might seem excessive, but the emotions they depicted during such scenes were "really crying".

I had same issue with the WTY scene, like that was so unnecessary to let him reunite with DM when he clearly didn't deserve her (that scene disappointed me a lot). Like, he got beaten a few times, insulted then his precious painting burnt then dies and reunites with DM in afterlife, was so unsatisfying to watch meanwhile DM suffered a lot more worst. I think they consummated their marriage already, otherwise it wouldn't make sense that DZ is pregnant.

It's not just empathy, he was born entirely unable to feel and recognize emotions. In short he is emotionless. Yeah, that could be direct reference with the dead tree representing him and the flower blooming to represent his emotions. We all know in cdramaland "Love" is the most powerful emotion. If it is simply for friendship, that won't be convincing and logical enough, it would turn to weak writing/directing. Plus, the signs he shows in latest episodes indicates of romantic feelings he is unaware of.
Epi 27 the imperial physician said he can be cured if he lets go of the hatred and revenge something like that
yeah, I knew that but its inevitable for him to be away from hatred and revenge since justice needs to prevail here just hope the story arc for that would be satisfying

I disagree. His actions before Dou Zhao got married to Song Mo were that of a caring friend. However, this recent actions of his in the latest episodes during the timeline of Song Mo and Dou Zhao's marriage tells clearly of his romantic feelings he is unaware about. Here is one well detailed scene that hints of this said romantic feelings he has for Dou Zhao, in the scene after the incident with the bandits, he quickly went to see Dou Zhao but instead saw her with Song Mo, his expression in that scene plus how he forgot he was even injured speaks loudly of this romantic feelings. If his feelings were platonic, he would have noticed his injury first but he didn't. That scene alone proved how much he cared a lot for Dou Zhao. Another is in EP 25, his dialogues expresses his jealousy.
I wonder how they will plan to miraculously cure ML from that said incurable poison. Hope it will be a satisfying one that wouldn't require unnecessary sacrifices, because if this ends up as a tragic sad ending drama then the whole rebirth plot would be useless.
(am so stressed after watching latest ep, feels like my hair is the one turning white).
Ep 24 - like I commented before, I cannot relax with this show. Glad that the DM/WTY/WYX subplot is wrapped up…
I agree I think the scenes of WTY were unnecessary lol! Same questions but my answer to your Question No. 4 is: when they get themselves in a romantic relationship 😂
I have seen clips they will have a really steamy scene and I think we might get it in upcoming episodes, so for now I don't think they have consummated yet. It seems she will get pregnant by ep 29 so it might happen either ep 28 or 27.
