episode 24 continuity confusion question

putting the other drama im watching on hold to watch this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rewatching this and wow it still really holds up well as a drama. I think what I love the most is that the misunderstanding actually makes sense and isn't misunderstanding for the sake of it. Just such a good drama, I was born in exactly the right time period to be able to watch this masterpiece

I love that Shifu is such a well written character. The absolute most difficult type of character to write without making them a total caricature/goofy af. Often you get these "crazy, will die for their country" types with zero substance, but this was not the case. He was a murderous, vengeful fanatic with a plan and with a soft spot for MC... aww

ep 20

Awww while there were some weak/not so well written parts, (imo timeskips & final Lin Mansion showdown) it was still overall a great drama and had some really interesting characters and storylines :)

aww no Jinqi passed away so early :(

the actress for Jinqi's daughter is the spitting image of him omg. truly his daughter

since Madam Han (Lady Dong) was also strong willed and clever, it shows that even if Lanxiang had married him, he would have died... interesting

SORRY I thought this was spoilered. i have put it on spoiler now

can't help but feel sorry for Han Liang, who fairly criticised a corrupt emperor and was made to die, while the retired emperor continues to depend on those conniving eunuchs. hope that retired emperor gets his just dessert omg

ep 47

bruh the writer/director on some drugs. the gang of bandits could easily rush in and kill all the women (and SA them...) I guess because the army "succeeded" so they fled the whole Lin Mansion encounter felt completely forced. The actors/actresses did really well despite this script though, man.

I felt like at least the rest of the series made sense but this last part (mansion encounter) was NOT smart and it feels a total disservice to Du Cuique and Lanxiang.

ep 45

LANXIANG MAMA NOOOO IM CRYING SO HARD

ep 46

women were only given rights about 50 years ago in most countries. let's join the dots here...

Welcome to what it's like to be a woman for the past few thousand years of storytelling and literally every other mainstream media in the present anyway...!

sorry kinda cracked me up when he said that Lanxiang's art skills aren't worse than Scholar Han's. I'm sure by those era's standards this is true, but I am cracking up

Also looks like Jinqi realised Lanxiang isn't Lanxiang....
