Did a bit of a rewatch and I just love love LOVE ep 8's dialogue between Xiao Jinyu and Jing Yuan. "I have already let go of that woman, so why are you still holding on to her?" … "Everything begins with intention." 🤌🤌
The same ep also ended strongly with drunk Xiao Jinyu 🤣🤣🤣
And aside from the cute confrontation scene where Jinyu and Chu Chu get to talk about their issue, I love how Chu Chu tells him, "You are always like this. You forget your own kindness the moment you give it.…But that's alright. I have kept your kindness clearly in my heart." 🫶
I want to see Tang have an advantage finally not just peacock and the king of the opposing country.
That's what I've been waiting for as well. S1 had Xiao Jinyu and Chuchu figure out things more quickly. Here, they seem to have met their match. Not a bad thing but it makes it feel like our cast can't solve anything even though they can 🤧
Am I the only one enjoying this so far even if the story hasn't lived up to S1 standards??
I've been watching Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty with my dad and he already dropped it (surprisingly) whilst I am trying to slowly continue it. But with The Imperial Coroner S2 I'm having no problem looking forward to each new episode 🥹
Errbody be trying to guess who Peacock is while I'm spazzing out over the fact that Wu Jiang's actor is already 38 years old 😭🤣🤣 He looks like he's the main cast's age! What's next, you're telling me Chen Fang is almost 40 too?!
Bruhhh xiao jinyu is so smitten based on all these clips so far 😩🤣 i'm kinda glad we only have 28 eps cause i dunno if my weak heart can take so much romance 😆 (though if we don't see a ChuYu baby at the end imma riot!!!)
I'm on ep 13 so far, watching with my dad who was hesitant at the start cause of the fantasy elements (which he usually doesn't like in cdramas), and this had a really rocky, almost parody-like start and only got better by ep 7. I was especially not a fan of Yan Zhi Gang's portrayal of Su Wuming, but I'm sort of okay with it now. I think it's because he's smart but not charismatic, and he's trying to be charismatic. I do like that there's a visible age gap between him and Lu Lingfeng.
I am not "hooked" by the cases but will definitely be continuing
It took me forever to finish Ep 1 last year so I don’t know if I should continue this (esp since I found out there’s a love triangle?? Which I hate) but I don’t know any other popular cdrama with as much world building as this one and solid action scenes too. Convince me to watch this? Or give other fantasy suggestions.
This drama succeeded in two things I have faulted cdramas for failing to do in general: 1) excellent worldbuilding (especially one that’s not even a fantasy drama) and 2) making me cry.
I haven’t read the source novel (which I can only imagine is brilliant) but the attention to detail is very obvious in the drama adaptation. The story is compact, though not perfect, but it was well-supported by the smaller details.
As for the making me cry part, maybe it’s cause it’s that time of the month for me (lol) or because family themes hit closest to home (no pun intended) but I felt moved by some performances, particularly Sun Bo and Chun Xi’s storyline, as well as the Zhao Mo/Zhao Ban/Wen Yue issue.

Making it seem like the production team is pushing the CP when they're just releasing BTS 🙄

of conflict didn't pop up at some point.

we'll see the context of that clip soon enough ☺️

Kudos to the whole cast and production team!
