How was it watered down?, if you don't mind me asking. I haven't read the original novel.

No problem. I thought the river of three crossings was meant to depict her mental state of despair. That's why I thought she might have been "crying/grieving" in a way, but honestly I skipped a lot of that part. Thank you for the clarification on 1.

1. Yes there was a 1 year gap, after she "died" and then another 9 year gap before they meet, so 10 years (though she came back a year before they met again). She was "crying" I guess when she was trapped in the space she was before coming back and literally crying for him for a year before meeting him again.

2. Yes. From my understanding of what she said, her first vision of WS being famous, then SY being famous was because of the switched fates (they both became famous, so her visions were correct). Even without her interference, WS would have been in an accident and SY would have been famous, which was what happened when everything was undone.

3. Not sure tbh, I skipped a lot of the conversation. My guess is she probably thought since she didn't want to be human and he was going to die eventually, there was no point saying goodbye again. That was why he emphasised they should live in the moment and make memories or something like that.

Aww that makes sense. Thank you!

Hey! if you don't mind, can you explain what you meant by FL would've known that ML was originally the reason she transmigrated back in 2026. Did the novel explain why she transmigrated and how it was related to the ML? and how did the novel end the story between YongEr and the palace doctor?

I know the Crown Prince was misguided trying to "protect" his grandmother in that way. But I felt sad for him at the end of ep 24. He deserves to be punished but ML attacking him was a bit hard to watch. He's just a kid that's been brainwashed by the ED and abandoned by his father (understandable to some degree from ML pov). The kid might just be as lonely and traumatised as ML was when he transmigrated. I hope he gets some help and support towards the end.

Actually the ED herself said, she wants the emperor to have more kids because it's easier to control the crown prince when there's competition or people she can use to threaten him. Kind of how she used the other princess to threaten the ML during the study sessions. Also I think everyone knows the crown prince is ML's son, it's not a secret from what I've seen. He has called him father a few times in front of people.

I think it was in ep 22

Exactly! the fact that she helped him understand sacrificing himself and leaving her behind wasn’t some noble act, but that they should fight to survive together instead, is honestly what a healthy relationship should be. I really hope future C-dramas give us more couples like this!!!

What I really liked about Love in the Clouds is that they didn’t do the usual “let me secretly sacrifice myself for the world” trope. Finally! If one person can use their power to stop something big, then two people with the same power level should logically be able to do it together and survive. The understanding, trust and patience JBZ and MY showed in the end!!!!!

Yes and the best part, was no misunderstanding and angst caused by third parties!

I don't know why I thought maybe because she mentioned, it's right in front of him and the next scenes had him talking about his mark. I thought she may be referring to the mark between his eyebrows acting like a key to unlocking his history. But I guess the painting makes sense as well!

I think it's because he can't stand his master committing treason by allying with the wutao people.

rumours are we'll get it on Tuesday

Just 32 and 33 express...also wondering why?

Leaving a comment here, because I would also like some clarification! I don't understand her motivation

I might be in the minority but I actually like his character, I think his actions align with his character and his own sense of justice. His reactions are also what most normal humans would have in his position.

For real, the court rulings are getting ridiculous and hard to watch. It's only increasing the suspicion towards her and ruining her reputation. I wish she would find a way to serve justice in the court also, since she's literally there to learn how to be a good judge. After all passing wrong judgement to Bit Na was what got her punished in the first place.

Thank you, will definitely add them to my list.

Yes please, I've watched a few jdramas but this is only the second one I enjoyed and finished, I barely remember the rest. I'd love some recommendations.
