The trailer for episode 32 and 33..looks like JL got trapped in her own web and Wanning will make a move. XH must be so worried…he warned her several times not to use herself as bait.
SYR is one of the most compelling characters in this show, and the actor playing his character is nailing the role so hard.
Him telling JL that he “loves” his ex wife was really interesting, and I believe him. He loved her initially but then greed and cowardice took over, and he did those horrible things to her.
At this point in the drama, he is still such a wild card cos we still don’t even know where his loyalties lie. He doesn’t seem to like Princess wanning but he tries to please her..maybe out of fear, also he seems to be “aware” of JL, and he tries to protect her too. His actions are so confusing. It’s either the drama writes a redemption arc for him by making him sacrifice himself to take down wanning or He gets caught up in wanning’s schemes and dies..either ways, he should still receive retribution for his past actions.
After all he foreshadowed his end in his own words, “If one goes against one’s conscience, no matter how many good deeds they do, they will face divine retribution”.
I find it so adorable how XH and JL can quickly recognise when the other one feels jealous, and they do everything to placate each other.
JL got jealous when XH was worried for Situ Jiuyue and he had to explain quickly so she wouldn’t misunderstand. Then XH got jealous when JL was playing music with SYR at the Royal banquet, so JL offered to play a special piece for him to make him happy. They are so cute and adorable..one of the healthiest relationships i’ve ever seen on screen.
King seem sus.Ex husband doesn't look sane to me. He is kind of giving split personality vibe.The interaction…
The story is mostly female centric and mostly focused on the revenge of the Fl. In the novel, the ML appeared even less than in the drama. I don’t think anyone expected WXY to be so captivating in the role, so it’s a pity he didn’t have as much screen time. But the story is still really enjoyable.
The concerns of there being not enough romance. Here is some of the dialogue between the couple. Duke Su has already…
I recall when this drama started, a lot of people were complaining the romance developed too quickly for the type of intense trauma the female lead went through. But some of us were like, this is still a slow burn romance, yea they are attracted to each other but they haven’t explicitly confessed their feelings yet. And now, we are really bearing the brunt of slow burn romance (Almost episode 30 and no kisses yet), and now some people are complaining that the romance is too slowburn..Lol.
The way the romance is progressing is actually very natural considering the personalities of the ML and FL. They know they like each other but they have several things to do and loose ends to tie up before they can indulge in their feelings. Although, I wish they would have a little bit more openly romantic and intimate moments since we only have 10 episodes left with the couple. But all in due time..
The double still No1 on Yunhe but numbers went down quite a bit because yesterday episode no Duke Su at all !…
I’m fine with the way the drama is progressing but if they increase the romantic moments between the main CP, the drama’s popularity will keep skyrocketing. A lot of people are obsessed with Duke Su’s character.
So Ji shuran is as vicious and heartless as she is because of her father, and in turn she tried to make her daughter as vicious as she is. Violence begets violence. She would have succeeded completely if JL hadn’t talked sense into Ruoyao. Seeing her drugging Ruoyao to achieve her evil schemes is a stark parallel to her father using her to achieve his greedy schemes.
I still don’t understand the whole hate against JL from her family. Is it just a cliche that it follows Cinderella…
Actually the step mother’s arch makes the most sense to me. If you have had any experience with polygamous homes, this sort of behaviour isn’t that uncommon, infact worse even happens. It’s all about the competition, jealousy, who is more favoured, whose daughter will marry the best husband, etc. The step mother probably thought sending JL away to rot at the nunnery will get rid of her for good. But XFF returning as JL, as beautiful and smart ever, and more recognized than her daughter, probably triggered her more. She tried to take her down a notch but after XFF/JL didn’t fall for any of her schemes, so she got progressively more unhinged.
I never thought I would say this..but I actually feel a bit bad for Ruoyao. Sure, she is a spoiled, mean, selfish little brat but how many kids can grow up normal with that sort of scum for a mother? The fact that she had the courage to defy her mother to save JL (well she was the cause of JL’s plight in the first place but still..) shows that she has some back bone despite being tightly controlled all her life by her mother.
I also think it’s a nice touch that they didn’t have XH swooping in to save JL, I think thats what most of us expected would happen. However, it makes sense instead to use that opportunity to add some more layers to Ruoyao’s character. It also shows that JL is very smart and quick thinking because she used the opportunity to make that cursed rapist expose his true colours in front of Ruoyao. As annoying as she is, that idiot doesn’t deserve her. Also, Jiang Yu’e is such a dimwit, I hope she has the worst ending, idk why she is always so desperate to set up JL.
The highlight of the episode for me as always is the interactions between JL and XH, seriously they are too cute. At least, now that he has given her that whistle to use whenever she needs help, wen ji doesn’t have to get his permission to spy on her..lol.
It’s interesting though..starting this drama, I thought XH’s character will be more like Xie Wei in SOKP, but it’s the opposite. Sure XH is dangerous, powerful and scary but with JL, he is such a green flag. WXY really killed this role!
