Ep4, i wonder who makes perills candy? How it taste? And why would one make perilla candy? 🫪

Also why would qingyuan try to make her sisters look bad in front of her mother? I mean she is there to investigate who murdered her mother and seek justice. Her sisters has nothing to do with revenge. They never took part in that assassination. I mean yes, second sister and third sister were bullying first one and that's why she stepped in. But i don't understand the rivalry between them.

Third one is valid as her mother was killed by qingyuan mother( till now assumption)
Second one wants to dominate household. She wants to be favoured.

But still those are petty things in front of major issues. Till the middle of ep4 she is not actively seeking her plan proactively. I guess it's to make her footing in the household strong?

Also i think potrayal of slap scene was done well. Whole situation in general. But Nine will not like it. As thirdwan will get close with this antagonist ml not in good terms thing.

Third said wan to look at him only. Because Wan's point was valid. There were so many people anyone will feel like that. But third's suggestion despite working on Wan it worked more on him, he was so immersed in him.

Nine is actually scheming person. He knew that Wan is his fanboy and he still opened everything to him in the coat of not bridging issues between them. Wan is a fanboy so it's understandable that he can't see it. But Third understood everything. He even said he like Wan and want to pair with him. That confession was too sudden( not complaining) as i thought it will take time for him to admit that.

Also when Wan and Third were actually getting close. Suddenly with this when there was sudden avoidance in Wan's side, i mean i understand Third anyone will feel like that. Plus after ThirdNine scene, he was looking at Wan. And Wan again ignored him. That was actually confusion point that why he is behaving like that. But somewhere i think Wan also don't like Third getting too close with anyone. Even with Nine. He didn't liked that as per me .

Also, i love that Third is already deep in like with Wan. One can see he actually liked when Wan said sorry and came to take responsibility for him...

Their interactions are giving me butterfly. Why they are flirting and i am getting blushed.

Third is gone for good. He actually liked and found cute when Wan said him dumb___.

Also why renji didn't felt shocked seeing third doing that? He was way too calm..

That acting coach is just so....idk why he can't do his job. I mean I get it he has clearly bias and he don't like Wan. But professionalism is also a thing. Being in entertainment industry for so long he still can't guide or show empathy towards a rookie. Seriously?

I understand director. It's been so many takes and if shooting is delayed and still they can't get a single shot meaning whole process delay. It has lot of complications. How much one can be patient? I mean he did took Wan's side when role discussion was going on. But he also is tired. Can't blame him.

Wan should focus on acting...he is shooting a series. Of course he needs to learn...but he is not guided in that direction nor he has strong awareness of the character

I mean i still can get his acting issues. But he clearly is not showing hatred his character is supposed to act. Atleast that is doable even as a rookie. He should seek help from his production house and crew members to get more clarity with his character.

I am also thinking. Maybe that person will be introduced later

Like that in ledger murder case.

Uhm uhm. Good ques Idk. But he thought horse was off. Horse was following whistle. That comes to owner. Idk story ever gives explaination to this. Idk if he inspected horse as well.

Fire spread was easy to guess. And owner whistle explains that fire was not an accident but intentional. But flint i am not sure how? Maybe it was used often in ancient china to light fire or in arson cases.

They better not give HE after cheating. That is ewww.

I don't know what writers were thinking? To make drama messy? Because good news they did that. They made them break up with spark thing. Then told career issues. Then told how they are on diff page and philosophy. They have diff Outlook of love and relationship. They have their own things to sort out in terms of relationship. And boom . Let's marry? Did marriage brings spark? Marriage brings excitement, nervousness, thoughts from all directions. It's not dealing with root cause but a distraction with the hope that ok maybe marriage can fix this. Old thing that we fought that it only deepens the issue and sometimes impossible to come out of relationship. Again to see this? Again if in marriage of something doesn't work out. Break up can't be done. It's divorce. Oh why bother. A baby can fix this. Seriously?

Instead of slowly dealing with their feelings and sorting and deeply pondering over the things if they really go into this. Instead of fixing their issues. They go with marriage? Why? Because love wins all. Because love has magical powers to deal all the issue and individual has with themselves and with their partner.

Because if not this logic then why to even breakup over spark thing? As if that was major?

I thought breakup was imp for their growth. But no..they are thinking about marriage. And this will go with SML and SFL. Seriously? I hope there will be no case of cheating both physically and emotionally. For me both matters. U cannot sell me emotional infedility which is tag in MDL. So it go that way and give me HE. Cheating will be cheating. They better give me BE if they are going that route.

It's sugarball attached to the bell at the tail of the horse. It was small in size so it got ignored( i am assuming). Sugar melts along with flint(SiO2)( inflammable) and it catches fire. Because even it was melting on straw. Straw is dry and can catch fire easily. And eastern winds were there as per story. That led the fire to spread. That's why qingyuan was saying " conditions are favourable now". Which means air is enough and is blowing in expected direction that favours the fire spread.

Then she whistle on horse. That caused ruckus and it looked like an accident. In the ruckus nobody noticed that at which direction horse was going as controlling fire was imp...

Hope this helps.

Exactly. The comparison itself is wrong. ATC is airing at the same time with Spring of the blade that drew comparison. But both dramas deal with diff story. One is about showing women empowerment and social strata in Ming Dynasty and this is revenge drama set in Song Dynasty. So although both are wuxia dramas. They have zero match in terms of what plot wants to focus on. But ig this can't be helped.

Don't listen watch and judge on ur own. And watch till ep3-4. As story mostly gets much better from there.

I wonder why the airing time is soo late. It tested my patience for whole Saturday.

That's strange. Because although I am not watching i can see it in Viki. It's not geo locked for me..just u need to pay for viki pass.

Do u ever tried acting? Do u ever performed a play? Acting is a subject...it has lot of techniques and people often look at others to read the way they react and try to see if they can by using that technique used can bring out emotions of a character. Sometimes they take other actors as example. Otherwise using same technique for same context gives the feeling that oh! She is using the same expression again and again. We as normal human being used same expression again and again and never come across this comment...like doubt meaning frowning eyebrows.
Eg- Esther Yu uses "oh" and opens mouth little bit whenever she is understanding things in her character. Eg- LBFAD, LGITEF,SAL.
There is nothing wrong in looking upto the actors they admire and use the same technique. As actors always have to try something new and upscale their acting and their is s limit to facial expressions given the emotions. I ask u to give me 5 ways on how u can show being angry through facial expressions in ancient china, song dynasty women. Where u can't show exaggerated expressions because u are noble lady. Maintain composure.

Normalise, two women wearing same type of clothes. Nothing wrong. Stylist comes at the cost. They too are human beings. And ideas of new costume, makeup doesn't come diff for all diff actress for 365 days all her life.

Not trying to look rustic? Is this what ZLY invented and patented? Touch some grass. Chinese entertainment industry never make their actors look bad. Eg- white olive tree. There wars were going on..still no to just bare minimum scratches over body and face was shown. U don't want to look how bad warzone people and army look like. Their face is rusty, dusty, harsh because the env they are living in is harsh. Blood everywhere. Ask directors why they shy away in showing reality.

Not everything is a copy cat. No one has time. ZLY is a senior actress and much mature person. What she went through in her early days of acting she will not want any actress to go through the same and here u are being her fan spitting hatred.

Criticism is very much welcomed. But copy cat idk. Please try to attend one or two acting classes. I don't have much experience in acting. But i did have some experience in acting. Which is why i can say this.

Using women to bring another women down in 2026. What to say?

I knew that qing yuan has some link with spring. And that's why the name is also having "spring of the blade". Qing- clear, pure and yuan- spring. ( As per google translate)

But this is also interesting that in the story, her mother wanted to go with her friend where there is spring always. And spring is also the new life, blossom symbolism. Intentionally or unintentionally, the title name is also saying spring of the blade. Saying it's waiting for the flowers to Bud and bloom in the spring that comes after revenge. And qingyuan is also the same. She is soft, scarred girl by her mother's unjust death. And she is also a blade. Blade that is attacking in the disguise of being a flower.

I am not sure if I am correct. But I like this theory in my head. Not sure about Yan rui and shen run. Will think about it.

Ep1-2 was little like it was asking too much my attention and effort. I will not deny i haven't paused and used phone in between. But ep3 was good. 40 min went by and I didn't noticed. Waiting for ep4.

But i am liking yan rui banter with qingyuan. He is finding her amusing. Did he started liking her already? He always pick up on her but in a teasing way. Like that.

I find it opposite.😅 Subjective bar.

I try to use official sites as much as possible. I mean i don't have problem in paying for subscription. Problem arises when I have no other option when some apps are completely banned in my country. Only then I use. Because ik no matter how much i wait, govt of my country will not allow those sites and app.

Finally i can start watching this drama. If i would have waited till viki made all ep free. I fear I would have gone old by then. Not to mention its 47ep drama.
