thank you so much <3

idk I've watched several works of this drama's writer and I always got lost somewhere at the complicated intrigues part

yes! this do clears everything! thank you so much for taking time writing this!

thank you so much for this! i found the flashbacks and explanation scenes too disjointed I didn't figure all the connections until I read yours!

it's just a bit bitter, that after all, the true villain was the emperor who already dead all the time.

but why do Prince Changxin are enemies with everyone at the early episodes?

I thought they already completely cancelled the rule. Thanks for the info!

wasn't the rule already retracted sometime last year?

i feel like the leads' romance were put in the backburner ever since the story progressed from Lin'an. YQQ and QM were the only constant.

i'm still confused with the whole imperial drama. can someone explain or drop link to an explainer on what actually happened? like... why do the Prime MInister's consort lover needed to burn herself? where did Qi Min fit in all of these?

compared to this one, i think blossom has better pacing, and the court intrigue arc is less convoluted so it's easier to understand.

the director perfected his art in this drama, though. so blossom (even though is prettier looking compared to your usual cdramas) has less pretty and detailed shots than pursuit of jade.

pursuit of jade also has better romantic chemistry. but that may have to do with the characterization of the female lead.

I still recommend for you to watch it. the best part is that all the eps are released already! so if you find it slow, you can just skip to interesting parts.

my tin hat theory is the whole episodes leak from few days ago is for that certain deleted scene to find its way to the audience lol

just watched ep 38 and yeah.. seems like that scene is too much for the censorship committee. maybe the real reason for the episodes leak is for that scene to see the sunrise? lol

girl knows where her acting strength is i suppose

the last arc in Blossom

she's good at them both though

if i got a dime everytime kong xueer plays a loving woman to problematic men who ended up in her hands then i would get 2 dimes which is not much but it's weird that's happening twice lol

hotter than bathtub scene? is it the from under the blanket scene???

qimin and yu qianqian's dynamic makes me want to dabble in toxic romance genre and see how it usually done. anyone can recommend similar dynamic in dramas/books/movies?

i hope he always pays his taxes and lives scandal-free so he can make many beautiful works forever lol

zhang linghe was trained in calligraphy writing weren't he? he was literally born for this role tbh it's the best i've seen him framed by a camera.

really love how the husband wrote the couplets for the whole village and they gave them food in return. it's a simple detail but show how heartfelt the village life there is and why the marquis feels comfortable
(if i'm not mistaken in the book the couplets were sold as a way to make money)
