because why would someone with such a high ranking marry a butcher when he could have a princess?I think she has…
That’s true when the situation doesn’t involve so many clues pointing the other way. I was kind of joking about the brain thing, yet everyone’s taking it so seriously. Nevertheless, she is simplette, and that’s funny. But when it comes to Yanzheng, at some point her cluelessness is just too much.
Within that same conversation, Changyu acknowledges that there is a status difference between her and the Marquis.…
Well, this is not the theory I am referring to, but the reality. She is right, theoretically, this is not possible. But when it comes to real situations, she doesn’t understand any little weird behaviors, even though there have been so many suspicious moments. Yanzheng lies badly (except in episode 25 with the punishment, because it’s normal that she wouldn’t expect him to actually punish himself).
she said that YZ will never lie to her and in another ep she said the Marquis would never married a butcher so…
Sure, but here I’m not talking about doubting him? It’s about reading the room. For example, when the Marquis’ counsellor and all those generals are around her lover, she might be excused for not knowing that this kind of dynamic doesn’t exist in the military. But just by observing the situation, she should be able to tell that something is off. They always seem hesitant, unsure of what to say, and constantly look to him for approval. This is not a noble thing, every human being has faced this kind of situation and can recognize it. And that’s just one example among others.
Ok Fan Changyu is a very warm, endearing and beautiful human being but please GIVE HER A BRAIN! She has had plenty of chances to realize her husband is the Marquis… and she’s still like, ‘Marquis of Wu'an what? :)' I can't. Even Fan Changning is not that clueless.
Who hates this show?? This show 10x better than the Generation to Generation
Literally! I’m currently watching both, and I can’t wait for GtG to finish already. But when scrolling earlier, I found some comments saying that Pursuit of Jade is just okay and doesn’t deserve its hype.
I love the other intrigues they’re starting to show us, but argh, I feel like I didn’t get enough of Changyu and Xiezheng’s love story today. It might be even more frustrating when they start releasing only one episode a day. I hope I can hold on until more episodes are released before continuing to watch.
now i am sure that song yuzhi elder brother is the man in the black. First when i saw the man in the black eyes…
Same, last time we saw the man in black I focused on his eyes and those of Song Yuzhi's brother seem to match! And he is also acting so weird... But did we see him many times before? I feel like I just learned about Song Yuzhi having an elder brother lol
Not using the same footage twice during the wedding... it felt so unserious. The last two episodes feel absolutely weird and rushed, while the earlier plot kept repeating endlessly. I’m just happy that Cai Zhao could explain things to Mu Qingyan and that he accepted it, even if this feels out of character with what they did to his character before. Mu Qingyan is finally letting go of Cai Zhao for a bit. It was about time!
I usually don’t pay much attention to the directors of dramas, but while watching Pursuit of Jade I noticed the same charming directorial touch that I had felt when watching Blossom. It made me curious, so I checked the director’s other works. And I knew it! It’s the same director who directed Blossom. Truly talented. There’s something very charming about the way he directs, and it really resonates with me in these two works.
Actually cai zhao doesn't only want peace, she also wants to find out who massacred the chang fort, and who really…
In the short to medium term, their goals align, but more broadly, the male lead wants to disrupt the sects’ order, whereas Cai Zhao would have preferred to maintain the status quo and live peacefully. The producers’ intent is clear: Cai Zhao’s personality conflicts with her desire for tranquility, and her development revolves around this internal struggle, though its impact on the viewer isn’t always the same. She is indeed slow to face the truth. What struck me more was Cai Zhao’s desire for peace than her desire for justice. She seems to deny too many suspicious actions from the Six Sects. For example, her master was captured over 20 episodes ago, yet she let go of this highly suspicious event so quickly.
Other than his father, from his perspective only Cai Zhao cares for him. Though he is manipulating her but kind…
When I say I don’t understand how he falls in love, it’s because it’s clear he’s into her by the first 3–4 episodes. We can see he’s fallen very hard for her, given how early he tries to keep her by his side, even long before she saves him from the zombies. I find it inconsistent that he’s already this obsessed at that point, when he could very well have simply felt gratitude or simple attraction as Cai Zhao does. But why be so obsessed so soon? Meanwhile, we don’t see Cai Zhao developing feelings nearly as quickly; she constantly pushes him away and he keeps insisting. This relentless love feels poorly handled, and it’s a shame it wasn’t built up better. Although I didn’t like the imbalance between the two, in the last episodes I was happy to see that she could face her feelings a little more.
I really love Mu Qingyan’s character, as long as it doesn’t involve his obsessiveness toward Cai Zhao. We don’t even know why he fell in love with her in the first place (aside from his obvious attachment issues). He becomes horrible, and then pathetic when she exposes his lies. But the biggest problem is that their personalities simply don’t match. If they end up together, it might mean sacrificing everything that makes his character interesting. He’s cunning, with a destructive yet revolutionary mind, while she’s fatalistic and keeps denying the fragments of truth she discovers about her relatives. All she really wants is a quiet life where everyone around her is safe. I’m afraid the story will give them a happy and easy ending. Mu Qingyan's personality seems necessary to bring about peace, and only once peace is achieved could he finally calm down and live the kind of life Cai Zhao wants. It would reduce his character to just loving Cai Zhao, which I never understood in the first place.
