KJ2025 This episode had a lot going on. First was admitting to a chosen few that Zhao Ling was still alive. TingYun used her stores with the same gold weight Yus used to show the people that different measures were being used. JiuWeiJia read Shen’s letters and got the first gold weight. He the. Headed to the capital while his team went to all the other villages and recovered their false weights. Yu is losing it and knows killing Shen Congsi was a huge mistake. This was the lynchpin that ultimately unraveled his organized crime of fraud throw out the region. Jin Yuan Bao was overjoyed to hear he was not responsible for Zhao Ling’s death and confessed o colluding with Yu to frame Zhao Ling. He received 80 strikes to have that officially added to Yu’s list of charges. A very interesting aside was YaKe’s assist with a ledger containing all the faction leaders’ names. Each required a step of faith from the other to accomplish their goals. Ya Ke got to leave and in the poetry chest was hidden the ledger but TingYun had to bother looking for it to know it was there. She sent this via monk to the court as the charges were being listed. Zhao Ling also included the death of TingYun’s mother to his list of charges. Ms Wu warned TingYun about the death warrant out for Zhao Ling and this gave her time to get Ms Wang to have the general and willing men help get Zhao Ling home safely. While this was a criminal act the emperor stripped him of his military commission, but assigned him as a chief consultant of the Yu case. He finished up all the accusations with the shortchanges to the military via the sabotaged salt for grain trades. The walls of the Yu house are crashing down and his cronies are like rats running from a sinking ship. This was a satisfactory run of events and I appreciated the smirk the emperor had for Yu’s predicament. We were cheated of couple time but at least we can be sure they will live long enough to get some.😝It was a good day for the northwest to stick up for one of their own even when contrary to emperor’s law about organized troops. This type of loyalty is something the Yus can never have because they prefer bribery and fear to true partnership and weathering storms together. Only one more episode with so much to wrap up and so little time left.

foofwi Man this show’s ability to blend you mystery and comedy in such an interesting and entertaining manner truly should be applauded. I don’t think I’ve laughed this much with a drama in a while 😭💗 ALSO MAN MR LEE IS SO MY TYPE LOL I literally giggle every time we get him acting all cute and shy. Ugh they need to bring back his glasses 🥹 Ahem- anyways, top tier acting and casting. I love every character really and I especially enjoy watching the female lead’s team constantly complain about having to actually work 😂

I feel like most people aren’t watching the same show I am, man. The complexity of the characters in this story is often overlooked simply because much of it does get comedic relief sprinkled over it. However, if you actually pay attention to interactions and dialogue, there’s so much happening and we’re only on ep 3 😭 like dang. I also really am not rooting for her male lead atp 😂 but that’s just because I’m petty and would personally never forgive a betrayal like that lol

I genuinely LOVE this concept where Park Shinhye is playing an older woman who has to act younger 😂 The fact that most people don’t believe her and often feel she’s older because she sometimes acts way too mature for her age cracks me up. While there’s definitely a sort of mystery aspect to this, I’m really just here for the lighthearted laughs. I find the female main character hilarious and her coworkers / work environment really make it such an enjoyable and entertaining watch!

LOVE THIS!! I genuinely like the casting for each character. It kinda feels like an old school sitcom with a modern take and I’ diggin it so far. I also really like the female main lead. Her character is so funny with her coworkers

I don’t know which annoyed me more, Ms Yu with her poison or the emperor with his. These tests of our lead couple’s loyalty is pretty damn tiresome.😝🙄😡The emperor set the stage for Zhao Ling to disappear under cover but the lengths he went to especially with that guard taking TingYun…😡🤬and Ms Yu’s lovely gift of chastity soup.😡🤬🙄 Both were big fakes and both damn annoying.😡🤬 Ms Yu was testing the waters to confirm Zhao Ling was really dead. She was neither completely convinced or dissuaded. She highly encouraged TingYun to stop her social climb to avoid the hassle. There was some sweet interaction with Ms Mo who was the staunch defender of TingYun at the funeral. She was all in to get in Ms Yu ‘s face.👏🏻 Later TingYun revealed the plot and apologized profusely. She really expected to get wrath from her friend, but k stead received understanding. Her friend was at first consoled someone else understood her grief, but could only be happy that Zhao Ling is still alive. The Yu’s continue to plot and want salt up to 80 per catty while using false scales to actually call a catty 1.7 weight. Thiswould undermine all the people that could least afford it. JiuWeiJiao is selling authorized salt as unauthorized salt…that puts a fun spin on things. The local politician is a bully in Yu’s pocket and he openly brags about it.😝JiuWeiJia’s ears perk at the news of the scales because he knows this is key evidence along with She ‘s letter of the corrupt practices of the Yu’s. It is refreshing to see Zhao Ling back to where he started. He is on familiar turf. It is not without huge risk because if he cannot gather the needed evidence, he may have to stay a salt dealer indefinitely. For me, that would be great improvement over having to deal with the whims of the emperor and the machination of the Yus and cronies. It is still a fun twist that they are being completely legal under the guise of being completely lawless. 🤣

miffyluvr This episode was EVERYTHING and the plot twist at the end?? I am so hooked because now I need to know what happened to Chita as well as to Doctor Jirat because that poor guy is still missing.The moment between James and Ken on the rooftop was such an emotional moment. Ken finally finding the person he has been looking for for 200 years and James who can't let him die... these 2 have my whole heart fr

akaringo If you make me choose between an immortal × Immortal or Immortal × Mortal Human Who Loves them in all of their lifetime, Without a doubt I'd choose the later with zero hesitation whatsoever. Not gonna judge too early but the fact that Lin always got the girl in every lifetime and Song always tried to get away from Ning is saying something eh...? But we'll see how this interesting dynamics unfold more later on

oh damn what a coincidence that FL blinked the moment ML rode by on a horse, she really has to work on her blink timing.

This show has almost no negatives. Great cast. Well written script. Great cinematography. My one quibble is with the closing scene. Why on earth didn't Ms. Kang simply step on the gas and drive away?

Her in Focus Pls Love EP3 raises the emotional stakes as Peem and Parn’s complicated arrangement becomes increasingly personal. Stellar performances from #LenaMiu, gorgeous visuals and more natural intimacy make this one of the adaptation’s strongest episodes yet. But it’s Peem’s pivotal choice — and what Parn is willing to sacrifice for her — that gives the episode its weight, while quieter moments of honest communication show why these two are becoming much more than business.

NLE Wow, Hui Leuk To is so smart! From noticing the mark on the bin, to figuring out the restaurant order, then tracing it to the cinema and eventually tracking down the recording. He managed to connect every tiny detail!Fei Foon is also incredibly smart. He deliberately left all these small clues behind and went on a date with Siu Yan on purpose so Hui Leuk To could find him. The best part is that all these places are locations where Hui Leuk To and Fei Foon previously dated, so he knew Hui Leuk To would recognise the clues and follow them. We only have ONE episode left! I seriously don’t want this series to end. 😭

tehfey Well. This certainly cut down on the number of characters to keep track of, though I've little doubt that one of the later episodes will feature a LOT of flashbacks to these characters as they're remembered by whomever survives.
