Moonstruck

I think it was mentioned that it's not for the lack of trying on her Mother's part. She was just not academically gifted and lazy to study.
Her parents tried to prepare her, her Dad trained her martial arts. Her Mom with education and home things, but she simply don't like academics.
Probably also the reason why they push her to marry SongYan, so atleast someone beside her is literate.

The recent episodes feels like the jumpy pirated CDs back in the day. I never skipped any scenes, but I feel like I missed a lot. The events continuity are so messed up. 😩

Yes, that's why it's hard to connect to Changyu's brooding and depressed state as the battle and tragedy scenes are less than 5mins.

She literally already knew about it and debating whether to tell him while she was in his arms. They were still cozy.
Since the war, the story continuity got so messed up. Even as a novel reader, it is confusing.

Episode 30 to 31 feel so disjointed. They were just sweet in 30 and suddenly they were distant in 31

It's said in the novel he went to multiple skin grafting all his life (we don't question the science of how he got such a smooth result in dramaworld haha).
It's a painful procedure and they also attribute his perverse nature because of that.

Heavy spoilers on Rednote (because of the leak), don't go on Chinese social media now if you don't want spoilers

I feel like the Director is dying to just get over the war scenes so he can go back filming aesthetic, close up shots with sparkly and bokeh effect scenes 😆😆

Latest episode felt like a blink haha

The Director obviously has his priorities.
Chapter/setting shift is obviously not his forte. I do prefer that we didn't spend much time going thru in detail on some events, but it does feel quite jarring the transitions on these last two episodes.

Yeah, the way QM retreat was kinda lame haha

Why is it that whenever she doesn't have her bangs or when her hair is not braided, she looks like a different person to me 😆

Rumor has it that this might get fast tracked so it doesn't clash with Reba and FeiYu's new show. That one I'm also excited about.

May the censorship always be in our favor 😩 I hope we do get all these scenes

One thing I noticed about the toxic couple is that although Qianqian mentally hates him, she doesn't physically recoil from him. Minus the constant deaththreats 👀, they look so comfortable around each other. Almost like a long married couple. If only QiMin is less crazy, they totally fit each other. 😩

I've recently been watching the old episodes with all the shaky cameras while they run 😆 Nowadays we have all these very light and small gimbal cameras but unfortunately they rarely do running challenges now.

I am similar with you with criticizing drama logic, I made the same comment earlier.
However, if you also think about it logically, QianQian and BaoEr missing is a personal problem atp in the story. She's also not aware of how extremely twisted and powerful QM is. All she knows is a random guy abducted her friend, and she is afterall someone who can take out one man.
True, that she could have asked for support, but given the current war where XZ and his army are more needed, it would seem selfish and out of character for her to ask that. The only thing that slightly bothered me is that she chose not to personally escort ChangNing first to Lin'An. One would think that after her abduction, CY would be a bit more paranoid about leaving her behind.
Beside, the pig squad is with her so she is not truly alone.
Tbf, I like that she left rather than being suddenly made a commandant and join cheesily slaying their enemies.

She looks extra small with her hair down.

That slap was so satisfying, bet it gave him a concussion 😆

Did they take out the horse riding scene where she's seated straddling him? I remember that from a bts.

If I were CY, I'd be pretty upset too no matter what his reasons are.
It's not just a one time misunderstanding, but they literally put up a whole show to hide his identity from her. I'd make him squirm for a while before forgiving him haha
