I finally caught up and I honestly thought the judge was the killer at first but now I'm more curious about how RSJ got adopted by the family and I also want to know who their mother recognised when watching the coverage about the case. If it was Crazy Dog, then there's an even bigger mystery about her connection to the facility. I also need to know what exactly they were doing with the children at the facility because it just seemed like it was the security men and the children there. and no real info about what they had the children doing. Was it supposed to be an orphanage? There was something about an inspection in one of the flashbacks but I still don't get what the place was supposed to be. If it was meant to be a children's home, why were there only security men there?
Anyway, I do think the juror with the glasses is one of the kids from the facility and it's clear that all the jurors are connected to that place in some way. I'm curious enough to stay and see how all this plays out.
In the first episode I thought the sisters were really close to each other because of their situation and their parents, but they don't even share the same space 90% of the time or talk to each other so things that could easily be resolved turn into massive problems. It's frustrating.
This drama is hilarious! I'm waiting for the sister to do something dramatic next 😂
I don't think the assault was necessary though cos we already know Yuze is the worst person. They just traumatized Tingyao again for no reason and I find that really irritating.
I wish I could give a rating for potential because then I would've given all the stars. In the end, it just felt like there was one thing too many. The aspect of the twins living each other's lives could've been a whole drama on its own without the afterlife angle, and likewise, the afterlife plot should have been the main focus without throwing in the story about the twins. They knew they had limited time to tell this story so they should've picked one thing and ran with it. I was quite disappointed with the way it all unfolded and I wish they could go back and do it again, but with a better director and a better writer.
Cinematography was excellent, and the acting was fine but we needed more than beautiful scenery.
I am so glad to have watched this along with everyone in these comments. I'm really happy that they showcased…
For the ending, like the Emperor I wanted to see their wedding too and I'm sure he's going to make them have a whole other ceremony when they return to the capital 😂
I am so glad to have watched this along with everyone in these comments. I'm really happy that they showcased the fighting skills of all our people in the last few episodes. It's been an emotional ride, and I enjoyed the show from start to finish. I was very impressed with Wu Lei and Zhao Lu Si in this series and I'm looking forward to more work from all the actors.
I'm enjoying it. The FL looks boyish and chunky like a female judoist. I don't mind her positive attitude. That's…
It feels so unfair to me that he has to bear the burden of bringing in revenue and being the bad guy all alone, while everyone else gets to chill and be nice, especially the team leader. He may be an asshat but I don't blame him for choosing not to sacrifice himself for a job that won't care if you're kicked out overnight.
This drama is literally a fresh breezer after running your mind all over while watching Big Mouth, but that doesn't…
I'm not sure character development only happens when someone goes from good to bad. Lessons learned are also character development. Ma Eum has issues that don't need to be about having a bad personality. I think it's nice to see character growth that's not so obviously black and white. She's naive now, and learning how the world works outside the strict rules of her life in sports is also development. I also think it's pretty badass that she decided to change her dream completely, explained her choice to her father and stood up for herself, spoke up for an artist to her superior even if she wasn't sure of herself, and also that she learns from her mistakes.
She's far from perfect, but she's learning and I like that she has so much support from her family. It's a nice change from most dramas.
I get that the Orchid Fairy is the undercover personality of a major deity, and I get that she's very young. But unless she's supposed to be a toddler, there's really no excuse for the complete lack of common sense she displays. She doesn't seem to have any situational awareness, or short term memory for that matter. She wasn't presented as someone lacking brain cells so I'm thrown off by her behaviour. It's so frustrating but I'm waiting patiently for the moment when she finally understands her situation and what is happening around her. Hell, just have her actually listen to DFQC and get what he says for once cos she keeps acting like everything is brand new when he says he won't let her leave. Didn't he already explain the curse? I'm so confused.
I keep saying I won't watch the previews but I always do anyway, and looking at what's coming, it seems that promise about not lying is going to bite LBY in the butt soon. I don't fully trust the previews though, because they're always edited to be so misleading 😂
Personal opinion but I didn't care for CSS lecturing the crown princess. It felt out of place and unnecessary.…
I mean, CSS was abused and mistreated by her aunt and grandmother for more than 10 years. The fact that she's not an evil, scheming person is a miracle in and of itself. I don't think a few good things finally happening over the last few months can negate the years of abuse (let's also not forget all the young women in the palace trying to kill her). It's much easier to be like the crown princess and blame one's wickedness on their sad lot in life and the fact that she took that route says a lot about her character. The Empress is literally in the same if not a worse situation, seeing as how she actually has to live with the woman her husband is in love with, but she somehow managed to still be a good person.
The crown princess never actually tried to make a real life with the prince. If she had, maybe things would've been different. I didn't mind CSS talking to her because who else was going to? The woman didn't want to hear it but it needed to be said. She made herself and her husband miserable for 10 years, and then also ruined the lives of that poor woman and her children. Even if the crown prince compared her to his first love everyday (which he didn't), how is that the woman's fault? At the end of the day, she chose to marry the crown prince even though she knew he loved someone else because she wanted to be a member of the royal family and then she blames everyone else for choices she made.
I found it really ominous when Shaoshang said as long as LBY doesn't lie to her, she'll be with him forever, cos we know he's already keeping so much of his plans secret and he may decide to lie to her for her safety in the future. I just hope this isn't going to be a problem later on.
You know I’m actually a little disappointed by CSS’s revenge ploy. It’s so mild ! Totally not befitting…
I think the real revenge was having the princess confess to everything she did on her own. The traps were definitely meant to punish the princess, but anything more than that without clear evidence of the princess's wrongdoing would hurt CSS more than anyone else.
I just loved today's episodes 37 and 38. CSS and LBY's chemistry is sizzling and the entire ensemble cast is such…
I guess it's not so much that the Emperor and Empress aren't held responsible, it's more like who can possibly hold them responsible? Who's going to accuse the ruling power of not raising their children properly and ask them to take responsibility for their daughter's actions? That's just going to be seen as treason. As much as the Emperor is somewhat silly, this is still an imperial family with the might and privilege that comes with that title. At the end of the day there's a pyramid of power and the Emperor is at the top.
I also didn't expect the aides to be executed for the whims and actions of a spoiled brat, but again, it is the imperial power. I guess that's why nations then often hinged on the mood and personality of the leader. Most Emperors murder people for less.
Just when I was starting to relax and enjoy the show more, all of a sudden here comes the agitating, grating presence of Yuan Shanjian. I was hoping and praying that we were finally free of him and his ridiculous behaviour. I can't say how disappointed I was to see him at the engagement party, and then again at court. My only solace is knowing that he hears every time someone talks about how amazing Shaoshang and LBY are together.
The Crown Prince really annoys me, especially because I really like WZC and I want to like his character. How is it that he simply refuses to learn from anything or anyone around him? He's such an embarrassment and I wish LBY didn't have to support him. I'm sure he'll do something to cause problems again soon. Ep 35 was pretty chill and now I'm starting to get anxious cos there must be problems on the horizon.
P/S I have to say, any time Xiao Yuanyi gets upset knowing that Shaoshang is probably happy somewhere else, my petty a** rejoices. Their relationship seems to be better now, but that's probably just because CSS is learning from the Empress and is also spending less time at home.
Was it just me who found this weird?- Lady Rouyang walked in with her soldiers who easily overpowered the guards…
I was thinking the same thing, but then I thought maybe they didn't want a small army of personal guards at such a high profile function. I don't think officials are meant to have soldiers at their disposal to that extent and she may have finally let them return to their posts once the family settled in. They haven't been around for a while now, I think.
EP 32. LBY was right; she need not jump into a situation without seeing the whole picture. He has warned her too…
She has a very hard head and an even softer heart. I think it's also the fact that the Empress has been the mother she wanted her whole life so she's not even thinking about consequences as long as she can bring the Empress some peace in the mean time.
I feel bad for Cheng Shaoshang because things that should be simple get so overly complicated in the palace and now her good intentions are being turned to dust.
I liked her getting back at that nasty princess but I have to admit that palace politics are too complex for such open retribution. One of these princesses can easily find a way to murder CSS if pushed too far and I don't think that has sunk in with her yet. Not to mention the impact of her actions on those around her too. The thing at the memorial was way too risky to me because it could easily have been worse if the princess had actually gotten burned for instance.
I'm not fully on Ling Buyi's side because he never gives CSS any information until she stumbles into more palace intrigue, but my goodness the Crown Prince is an idiot. The CP wanting to save his cousin may seem fine on the surface, but that man put lives in danger because he's an incompetent general, and now they want to lead more soldiers down there to die for him? These soldiers don't have families that care about them? It's just favouritism and it will ultimately make him a horrible emperor. As much as I can understand CSS wanting to help the Empress by helping the CP, I wanted the foolish general to suffer more, along with his foolish family.
It's remarkable to me that the Empress and Consort Yue seem to have a good relationship (even with the Emperor), and seem like such good people, but their children are all stupid, greedy or useless. What a pity. Also funny is the Empress saying she'll talk to CSS' parents about raising such a great daughter when CSS has to go home to a mother that she has heard call her dirt over and over again. I was happy to see Xiao Yuanyi get jealous because of CSS's relationship with the Empress.
