The drama has been so satisfying so far that at this point I don’t even care what happens the second half of the show. I just leave everything in the director and scriptwriter’s hands to do us all right. I can only compare the experience as going to a favorite sushi bar and order the omakase — I don’t know what will be served, but I’d love it because I trust their skills and knowledge!!

Thanks for sharing! They are so exquisite!!

I’m aware in those days people are married as young as 12, or worked at 14.

But for the sake of this story, I don’t think GQF is 24 either. 😀

So far, Lei Jing is indeed a villain and ML finally has enough dirt on him to bring him down. I feel ML continues to stay undercover that long because he’s confirmed through investigations that Lei Jing is truly bad. So, it makes sense he continues to help uncle Qi. However, more recently, Uncle Qi seems to shift gear and shows his true intention, and that is to bring down Duke Xiao. Not all truths are shown to us viewers about Duke Xiao, but we can see that ML wavers and looks uncomfortable a few times when Uncle Qi mentions incriminating the Duke, almost as if ML doesn’t want to do it. I think he’s beginning to have doubts about helping Uncle Qi bringing the Duke down. There’s a foreshadowing scene where he pushes Uncle Qi out of the way to chase after the Duke in desperation, to not leave him. ML is probably aware he’s Uncle Qi’s sharp sword. I feel more will be revealed later and ML will mend his relationship with his father,

He’s been told by his uncle Qi that Lei Jing and Duke Xiao are villains and must be brought to justice. So he agreed to work as an undercover as Lei Jing’s underling for 10 years, to collect evidences to bring him down. He’s probably been persuaded by Uncle Qi that in order for him to get to Fifth Rank level officer, he would need to bring down high level villains/court officials. ML wants to give his late aunt a proper burial ceremony that is only possible if he’s a Fifth Rank officer.

Pan’ er is 24. How old exactly is GQF?
I don’t remember if it was mentioned before. I would estimate him as between 27-32, but I would most likely place him at 28. He’s been with the Capital Security for 10 years, assuming he started services at 18, hence 28.

EDIT POST/Add On below:

GQF is most likely 28. I just remember his conversation with the Duke, who praised his intelligence for passing the court exam at 18, at a younger age than the Duke. He then went to work for the Capital security instead of taking an officer position.

Ok, so this would bring us to the next point. Pan’ er isn’t his intended set by his grandfather. If he were 18, then Pan’er was 14. Her family had already been stripped of their title then and she’d been living in the brothel between 9-16. Her family wouldn’t have cancel the betrothal because he joined the Capital security services. If they were intended, then I guess that’s a loophole. Any thoughts?!

One of my favorites and I’ve seen a lot over gazillion years.😝. Try not to skip while catching up for Thursday’s new episodes. And come back here to join the craze🤪🤭!!

Like …RIGHT NOW?!?!😜 … please?

I think that’s one of the reasons why ML is attracted to her, her ability to command his respects and doesn’t fear him as others do.

Hahaha… she does look very pretty. Even her side profile is attractive, including that slight bump on her nose bridge. She’s rounding out and that makes her just as realistically womanly and alluring, unlike the skinny, stick-like figures popular among cdrama actresses these day. I was sad to see Bai Lu so skinny now.

Actually, I think she would still take his words into consideration regardless of how he delivered them. After she saved him and he saved Sanniang incidents, she had a good assessment of his true character. She trusted him and that he would always place her best interest first if possible.

Totally agree with you on the binging symptoms. I tended to skip ahead and ended up ruining the experience so many times to supposedly great dramas. This is why I prefer to watch dramas while airing.

Which Tony? There are 2. If you mean Carina’s husband, then I somewhat agree with you on the ‘vibes.” In term of look, CHEN Xiao has some resemblance to the young Kwong Wah, including the way he smiles sometimes.

It’s Thur-Sat now. The movie profile isn’t updated.

I like this in GQF also. Because she doesn’t like to owe favors and she has already owed him enough, he helped her by not doing things directly for her, but more like a verbal reminder..

One of the elements I like about the drama is that FL recognizes her feelings early on and she acknowledges it.

Some of us here suspect just as much.

😉😀😱 this is too funny!! Well, hope you at least enjoy your dinner.

I also see a resemblance very early on in watching ADOS. I didn’t want to say anything then incase it causes problem with ZLS fans.😝 but since it’s been raised, might as well throw in my two pennies. I even went as far as thinking whether ZLS was initially scouted for her resemblance to LYF, which is not an uncommon thing to do in the entertainment industry.

This post will most likely come back and bite me on the butt.😛😱

I take it as such also. Ouyang was other guy’s name.
