he’s so disgusting I wanted to crawl into the screen and 💀 him myself. This morning I completely gave in and watched episodes 21 and 22 with the most chaotic subtitles known to humankind.I know I’ll have to rewatch the same episodes on Viki. It just feels bad to finish this show with 70% comprehension, so let's see if I can resist the temptation of watching episodes 23 and 24 on mangotv...At the end, except for the mother's arc, I did enjoy the rest of season 2. They could have just excluded some unnecessary arcs and developed the others better, it is a pity

BTW, do you know when season 2 will come out? I need to search for some news about it; I completely forgot 😅

I thought she decided to lure him to set a trap together with YC, maybe he is just late 😅

This show is definitely on something, feels like it's permanently stuck on 1.5x speed 😆 the secret is to never blink 😅

The introduction of the story and characters is super fast like they rush through the setup just to jump into the case-solving plot as soon as possible. From the moment the leads see each other, there’s already a spark. He starts liking her almost immediately, clearly impressed by her many talents, while she’s totally oblivious to it,her mind is in another dimension, fully focused on her goals. He plans to use her skills to help solve the prince’s murder, but he’s also respectful and kind, and honestly feels more like her sidekick so far. The first case wraps up by episode 5, and episode 6 kicks off a new one. Tropes spotted so far: dramatic water fall + perfect escape from arrows, secret identity, and the legendary 'just happened to help the exact right person by pure plot luck' career boost, all in the first part of ep 1 😆

Yes, I went full psycho-mode and went quickly through the episodes. In episode 6, when they’re discussing the power struggle between the Crown Prince and Prince Cheng, ML mentions that his father (General of the Shuoxi Army)went to earn military merits for the Emperor. He adds that, because of the internal power struggle, everyone is eyeing the Shuoxi army as a political weapon, and he knows the Emperor won’t tolerate either him or his father much longer. Since his father is Prince Rui, it confirms that he’s from another branch of the royal family (likely the Emperor’s brother or cousin). So technically, being the Emperor’s nephew doesn’t disqualify him from becoming Crown Prince. If there are no surviving direct heirs, or if the Emperor adopts him, or if there’s a power shift in court, his branch could be elevated to the throne

I think he's the heir to the Emperor’s brother, not the actual imperial crown prince. But I might be wrong, I’m watching too many dramas at the same time and my brain is running a shared universe of confusion 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Even if it’s too predictable in this case, at least it makes sense. I’ll take an obvious killer over those shows that pull some random character out of the editing bin and go, 'Surprise! They did it!', with zero buildup, no clues, just for shock value. Like... thanks for wasting my brain cells 😅

When I watch 🇺🇸 TV shows, I have a tell on who the killer is, I swear it’s 99% of the time the actor or actress I recognise the most 😅🤣 Like if they’ve been in three other shows I’ve seen, yeah, they did it. Cdramas are different though, it’s more like: they’re too nice, the camera lingers on them a second too long, or they suddenly get a tragic backstory out of nowhere… and boom, you just know 😆 Sometimes it’s obvious, sometimes it’s a slow burn, but the clues are always there

I like long titles: Here Comes the Ikea Bride: Some Assembly Required (Head sold separately)

No, because antibiotics only became available in modern times (second world war?) and even with them, any damage caused by syphilis before treatment is usually permanent

Thanks, that’s actually what I was thinking too that Shen Wan’s family had a residence in the medical valley, but her father was still based in the capital due to his official duties. So when the murder happened and he fled the capital, he probably went to the valley to get Shen Wan. Qin was helping them all escape, and then the events we see in the first two minutes of the drama unfolded

Thanks for the detailed reply! I get that dramas often adapt reincarnation/transmigration differently, but I’m still confused about the timeline of the Prince of Jin case. If Shen Wan had been in the valley for years (long enough to gain medical skills and build relationships), how is her family’s downfall still treated as a recent event?It feels like either the case is old, and the family had been in hiding until recently discovered, or maybe she returned to the capital at some point and the accusations came after? I'm not confused about the identity swap just trying to make sense of when things actually happened. so please help me with the timeline 🥲😅, even if it's based on the novel timeline just to have some sense for now, maybe the drama will explore it later on better 😵‍💫 ps. so i just want to know when Prince Jin was killed in time

I'm only on episode 2 so far, and while the setup is a bit confusing, the premise definitely has potential. The first few minutes really threw me off; they felt rushed, almost like the start of a low budget minidrama. Everything happens so fast, with barely any buildup. It’s just: tragedy strikes, she escapes, assumes a new identity all within 2 minutes. There’s barely any emotional depth or proper pacing. It honestly felt like the writers were in a hurry to skip the backstory and jump straight into the main plot. They could’ve easily spent one full episode showing her with her family, how she ended up in the valley, how she learned medicine… anything to make the transition into the identity swap more impactful and more emotional. But on the bright side from episode 1, you already know what kind of show this is going to be (whether it's going for serious tone or trope heavy entertainment). So at least it won’t mislead you like Princess Gambit, which started off looking like a serious drama and then derailed into a mess of plot holes and nonstop tropes. With Coroner’s Diary, you get the tone straight away, so you’re not left with false expectations. That said, I really like the idea of the FL being both a medical expert and a coroner. The forensic angle in a historical setting is totally my kind of story, so I’m curious to see how that unfolds

Just watched the first two episodes, and maybe I missed something. Need help.Here’s my confusion and can someone help correct or confirm the setup? Shen Wan is the daughter of a minister, and she seems to have lived in the medical valley for years, possibly since childhood. She already had solid medical knowledge when she met Qin Wan, a sickly girl who arrived in the valley with her father. Shen Wan treated her, and they became close. Qin Wan eventually died and from the tone and pacing, it feels like this all happened a long time ago, not recently. But here’s the problem, later Shen Wan’s family is accused of murder in connection with the Prince of Jin case, and the drama implies that this is a recent event. Her family along with Qin Wan’s father tries to escape but are killed. Shen Wan survives and assumes Qin Wan’s identity to enter the Qin household. That’s where the timeline feels off. If Shen Wan had already been in the valley for years, long enough to become skilled and treat Qin Wan, wouldn’t that mean her family fell from grace and fled the capital long ago? How can the murder they’re accused of be a recent case if Shen Wan was living in isolation all that time? or simply it is not a recent case and it just feels like that in the drama 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

I think we all finished looking at the episodes with bad subs, so we can all rant or be happy here in the comment section together🤣😂. Waiting for Viki is like having to stay away from the comment section 😅

Didn't watch today's episode as I'm at work, but every time I think about how this show should end, I really hope that this BTS is the ending of the show https://youtube.com/shorts/AeSyO1H1WoM?si=cH1hg2dIO3I_2fvD

11???? Okay, now everything makes sense. 🥲 I might try to fast-forward through the episodes… if I can dig deep enough into my self-destructive tendencies to willingly subject myself to it while I'm stuck in traffic on the bus 😅😅

I agree this drama had so much potential on paper, and I actually like the leads. But somehow, none of it really translated well onscreen. There was always something missing, and with a script this weak, it just collapsed under its own weight. I wish I could hate it at least then I’d feel something and maybe push through to the end. But no, I’m stuck in this emotional vacuum. Every time I hit play, it felt like opening an almost empty fridge, hoping something appetising will magically appear… or that my standards would drop low enough to make it edible. Neither happened. so good luck to the actors and may their next project be better. ps. yes I'm watching Dream drama too

This drama is so meh for me at this point that I can't even muster the energy to be annoyed by the plot holes or questionable writing choices. I’m on episode 23(technically for the third time)because every time I try to watch it, I get distracted and end up missing entire scenes. I’d fast forward, but even that feels like too much emotional investment. I will say, I do like the ending soundtrack. Anyway, see you in another comment section 😉
