as the Qin family case wraps up, I still feel like Caihe roped Qin Li into her revenge plan. the timing of his illness was too convenient. the leads act like lovers/a married couple already it's so cute! however, I know Qin Wan is supposed to investigate cases for the plot but I can't help but feel like she is a bit nosy

ohhh so Qin Liang and the Marquis are the sons of the first wife I get it now.

my saviour!! so there are two Qin Liangs? And why does the grandmother associate with the third branch if the three Qins in the second generation are her children?

he was so good in that!

I need a Qin family tree chart. I cannot keep these relations straight

getting fanfic tropes into the mainstream while eternal faith is still locked up is crazy. I'll still watch though

I love every version of this story

It's more faithful to the webtoon but there are differences in culture. The ML has a backstory as well. but its going faster than the kr version

this scene filled me with a sense of dread

also a kpop meme haha

guys what's going on now I'm scared...

the director said its about confronting prejudice and biases. she isn't acting like a typical FL should, but also has biases towards the ML, just like the audience has biases towards her. they are basically holding a mirror up to the audience

I'll relieve you haha. he's accepted that they are in a storybook world, and all the iconic scenes will happen. so now he takes every measure to fight against it. (something she should have done from the beginning) but all is well by the end of these two episodes. the iconic stab scene plays out in a different way, but you have to see it yourself lol.

I don't think they can ever get past it. even now NH is extremely cautious with him. unlike NR who can whine like a child in front of the emperor without consequence. NH still fears him

I respect him lmaooooo the things actors do for a check lol

I see why the three way stabbing scene is iconic. I was meant to make the new one have a bigger emotional impact. how I cried when SYM helplessly rushed forward to carry out her role from the script. the futility of it all was just so sad. and nan heng risking his life to stop it all. too tragic.

facts. the drama is doing what it is supposed to do. people are engaging with the characters as wish fulfilments rather than complete people (which is what NH asked SYM to see him as).

Its a way to make the female lead smart, cunning and independent, since this is always expected from male leads. I would like to see more salted fish male lead characters travel to the past though

after the scene where the noble consort begs the emperor to spare her brother's life then NH comes to plead for her and takes her away. the eunuch suggested that they should take away his army before he rebels and he said "do not comment on my son's affairs"

I was shocked at CGH's audacity! to openly suggest using the noble consort who is still the emperor's wife!
