25 year old grudges

Arrangements have been made for Consort An to meet Mulian Ying at a restaurant. Before they can exit, the Eagle King has sent guards to keep her secluded for her ‘protection’. Tutor Xie showed with guards of his own and managed to get the consort on her way. He sends his son there as it was the last chance to rescue his sister. Consort A lied to Tutor Xie that the An and Lu families had indeed colluded with the northern king and that there was irrefutable evidence with no framing of the families. At the restaurant, the once lovers now enemies both came prepared to kill the other. JiaYu interrupted after the tea to say she had swapped it and no poisoning happened. WuYi shows up at the wedding and says everything will go the general’s way once he signs the agreement. The royals brought up an argument of it being beneath nobility status to marry LeJun to a barbarian. This was knocked down, and the Eagle King countered with his plan to kill consort in Ye territory to kill the peace talks. Prince Ji enters with a decree from Consort An. It sets forth officially the turnover of the three precincts and the reforms WuYi wanted to establish. He was quite pleased with himself and smirked at Eagle King’s strategic loss. In spite of trying to kill the consort, he was the leading general for their people so she let him live. He asked the same question Tutor Xie did with a very different answer given. It was a great miscarriage of justice and Mulian Ying was well aware of that. She herself outlined the plan to have the emperor carry it out on the families. This is why he had that huge poison pill to kill consort. JiaYu’s interruption wanting them to reconcile let both of them agree to let bygones be bygones. It is worth noting that the Eagle King offered Lejun marriage that she would not be forced and a door always opened at his place up north. Here I wonder if she will consider it. JiaYu and Mao have a chat and she reveals her knowledge of his plans to stay in the palace and his arrangement for a consort from Cui family. She also acknowledged she had never asked him his preferences. WuYi is still delaying the divorce decree. He wants her to stay as long as possible. She looks him in the eye wanting to know about the woman he loves and he betrayed himself had she been the least bit aware of how he really felt. They are making deals for his forge and she is making plans to leave with her mentor and discover what her skills can become. Both men that love her realize they cannot keep her there and it’s just about time for her journey to start. When consort An referred to those in place in the south I wonder if she referred to the Tutor or the Regent?

Su Li when she trusts someone, she trusts…

Su Li when she trusts someone, she trusts blindly - but after the betrayal she has experienced at the hands of those closest to her, she would be weary of blindly trusting again & even though Gang Gang was there for her when no one else was, she should always be vigilant & always take stock of what Gang Gang is doing. in Gang Gang case doesn't she find it weird that her husband is always home??? at the start he would never be at home spending his every waking hr at work. now when they need money - desperately - he is siting at home cooking & cleaning while she robs her boss??? & she is ok with this? nothing suspect in her eyes? idk what to say. so kinda fitting that Shu Heng's back in the picture blackmailing her. wonder when Su Li is gonna catch on & if she will even find it in her to throw Gang Gang in jail for embezzling her/company money. **************************the new kid is a cute distraction but that's about all he is given the huge age gap that is a bit ridiculous IMO so i like how Su Li is dealing with him, but i have a bad feeling sooner or later the happy ending we gonna get is her ending up with the kid. meeh

Santa's acting!!

Finally we are getting to the root of Solar's trauma and how deeply his childhood affected him. Santa portrayed the emotional aftermath of that kind of revelation so spot on, while still staying true to who Solar is by shifting from lashing out slightly to immediately being concerned with Mae Pranee's mental state. I think he pulled it off so seamlessly that I felt so concerned for Solar because he put his own emotions on the backburner once again. Throughout this entire series so far, Santa's potrayal of Sun and Solar has been a true masterclass in acting and managing to make them both so distinct and feel so real! He has truly impressed me!

Girls being girls

I feel sad for the little one and angry with the Japanese ones,but also laughed with the war between school for girls. I didn't know there was two different schools and in one of them,Gu Yanchen's sister study at. I am surprise that he has a sister.🤣🤣🤣Meanwhile I am annoyed by that classmate who Xie Shang first met on episode one and he already betrayed her three times: He pushed her into the hole during a military training in the wild, stole the token during the searching training in a building and put some egg skins in front of Yanzhen to make Xie Shang thinks that her classmae ate her breakfast.I am realy annoyed with that guy.😤

just a few eps back i was wondering at Su…

just a few eps back i was wondering at Su Li's big heartedness here her bff who she was supporting & helping cheated on her with her husband, betraying her in such a brutal way but just cause Gang Gang clued her in she went above & beyond not just offering her friendship, but supporting her finically even before offering her a job (which i am sure beyond all the perks of the job she has a very good salary) but again someone Su Li has put her blind trust in is gonna betray her & for who??? someone that treated her like crap, like a slave he didn't even notice existed unless she didn't do her chores. but Gang Gang is ready to betray Su Li after everything she has done cause an incident or two reminded her that they not equal in the grand scheme of things?? she forgetting that no matter how much she has helped Su Li, she has always payed her back above & beyond for her help??? oh well - feel bad for Su Li. she is a good person but somehow that kindness it's just taken for granted but taken as their due. sad real -

cherry knickers

this show is very fast paced ，you will get whip±lash if you’re new to this genre & format. & i can see where the dissonance will be for a lot of people for that. but i don’t mind that. we get ten minutes to focus on the essentials of their Love story. i just think squeezing in an additional minute can help give the actors more breathing room ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ & i think they actually do a pretty good job ，the two of them. it’s sweet & lively & a little nuanced. j–dramas always up the dramatics of emotion & none of that really bothers me. the no_children ，nude content scenes are clunky though in a an amateur way. it takes away the suave from okumi unfortunately but i can still enjoy it ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ i also genuinely buy what they feel for each other. it’s going to take time to get to a happily final episode but right now i think it works. i did enjoy this ，at th e end o f the day it’d men learning to love each othr & they’ve established it well.

well i had a bad feeling Gang Gang would take…

well i had a bad feeling Gang Gang would take that moron back, oh well i hope for her sake he really saw the light & isn't play acting & sooner or later will be back to his old ways. but at least for now she is happy. would say good for her but i am a pessimistic at heart. ******************************************************************************************************************in the previous ep Gang Gang just kick someone in the balls, she ended up at the police station & needed Su Li to come get her out. her Ying Ying came at Su Li & caused her to fall but cops didn't even take her in for questioning?!??? & i wish Su Li told her ex that she now wanted blood cause his mistress caused the miscarriage. also if she had info that could burry Shu Heng's manager why she not use it to take her down - i hope now that she got her to destroy Shu Heng's position in the company & his career. she will give the info to the head of the company making sure the manager is also destroyed. ****************************last but not least, Ying Ying - there was a millisecond where i felt bad for her but then remembered everything she has done to Su Li from the start & her behavior/actions aren't getting better. heck in her mind she is the victim & Su Li is the bad guy. so i aint feeling that bad or sad for her & i for sure don't buy the suicide act. that was a show she put on for the landlady & the public. so they will feel sorry for her. like plz - i hope Su Li doesn't feel sorry for her - i want her to destroy Ying Ying more then i want her to destroy her husband (more cause he is already done for). but time will tell how this goes...
