Ep. 32 That Storm Alliance sounds like it's taken a wrong turn since Suige's mother founded it. The plotters are all over the place getting ready to pounce. Not much of an alliance, more like a twister. The Princess is getting more bad a**ed by the minute. She's setting up her 'beloved'. Will she succeed? The new Emperor of Susha is proding the little official because he can't believe what he is being told about the crimes his older 'brother' is supposed to have committed. Now suspicion has been cast on his mother, the Dowager Empress. What to do?
Ep. 31 If the beloved characters can't really die the weapons always hit the 'sweet spot' . Yixiao is still in his heart but she will sacrifice anything to be back in Suige's memories. Yinyang is loving the abuse he's suffering at the Princess' hands and wants to shower her with roses. His Mom on the other hand wants her dead and wants Jingshi to capture Susha. All that for a couple of brown pills.
Ep. 30 It's all gone to sh*t. Princess has given up her virtue to the tyrant. Yixiao has risked all to restore Suige's sight and he suddenly sees his worst enemy before passing out in a stupor. What will tomorrow bring?
Ep. 29 The Princess has grown a pair. Her tormentor is liking the experience of pain to go with his sadistic tendencies. Her 'ex' is in full revolt. The Storm Alliance is not showering Feng SuiGe with love but YiXiao is there channeling his mother. Both kingdoms, Susha and Jinxiu, are up for grabs.
Ep. 28 The Murongs are on a tear to wipe out Suige's faction. Even the Hound and Gu Yu have bitten the dust. YiXiao has days to get him to Storm Alliance. The Empress has moved up to become Empress Dowager is busy convincing her naive son his brother is a ruthless killer. The proclamation has been posted and now 'fact' in everyone's mind.
Ep. 27 Drip, drip, drip, slosh, slosh, slosh. You can almost hear the blood flowing and the hands washing it away. The trap is laid. The Prince and his drunken revellers get outmaneuvered. Even the archer is asleep on the job. The empress is ashen. The loveable eunuch is stabbed in the back. There's no end to the fallen.
Ep. 26 She never seems to run out of arrows and he can take two or more with his sword at a time. That's why they are our HEROES! Time for revenge. The Prime Minister's plan blows up in his face. The he gets to do the Perp walk. The twisted Emperor is waiting for him to arrive for the showdown.
Ep. 25 Consumation. Is that what we've all been waiting for? It's always good to have love in your life. No doubt the morning-after glow will fade soon given what's ahead. The Empress and the Princess are deprived. Murong Yoa and the Prime Minister are depraved. Murong Yoa's dad is doing penance while hobling to see the Emperor, the Empress is enduring being ignored and the Emperor is seeing ghosts. None of them have a leg to stand on. These are all thorny issues.
Ep 24. First off I have to point out Murong Hua and his 'partial' foot, which is supposed to be the reason for all his venom over the years) doesn't seem to be bothering him at all. Second, it is of immense pleasure to see the red patch on the Prime Minister's face. It is not fading anytime soon. Ep. 25 It's all about father/son estrangement. His father didn't kill his mother but he might as well have as all he was interested in was confining her and grooming his son to be as vile an emperor as he has become. '
Ep. 23 First prince mourns the homoerotic 'brotherhood' he had with his buddy who has revealed his unending hatred. The Prime Minister kicks off against the Emperor screaming out his longheld grudge while the Emperor does a great job at acting unconscious. There a bitter pill to be swallowed (it always amazes me how they expect people in comas to injest these huge speres).
Ep. 22 some of these plotlines are getting too ridiculous. Murong Yao is holding a grudge since he got a foot injury as a little boy. Isn't he a general? Aren't they a respected family? Why the need for revenge? How could a sane person pretend to be a 'brother' for all those years? Even his father/uncle didn't have any idea.
Only on ep. 9 and she's still seriously clueless. He's still trying to uncover the 'plot' against his life and her life. Are they linked? Young Jing Shi and his two sidekicks must have more up their sleeves. Looking at the score, it must get better at some point. As an aside, they both seem to do a lot of eating which I enjoy watching. The colorful dishes are a little over the top, but then no royalty eats at my house.
Ep 6. Brother is desolate he can't stop his sister from marrying his enemy. Then he finds out just how enchanting enemies can be when drinks jars of Mother's Red with her and gets all flushed shining at her like the moon and then she decides his face is all soft and squishy .
Ep. 4 The disciples are stirring up some old memories. What the 'real' story behind the massacre the doctor saw the prince commit? Why is the enemy asking to send the princess for a marriage alliance in order to make peace? Given the Prince lost the war wouldn't they want their brave general who won the war back? What's putting me off is looking at the face smoothing of the main leads when everyone else looks normal.
Ep. 3 This really is sado/masochistic. Now she's whipping him and poking at his arrow wound while eating fruit with the left hand that was supposed to be disabled. He's dangling from a tree by his skinny arms with only his tippy toes touching the ground. Why is there blood running UP his arms? After revenge neckbiting they come to an agreement. He does look like a warmed over vampire.
Ep. 25 It's all about father/son estrangement. His father didn't kill his mother but he might as well have as all he was interested in was confining her and grooming his son to be as vile an emperor as he has become.
