It might just be a filler episode, but it's so beautifully done. Great music, great production, and the story ties into the main so well.

When Dong Eun was approached by Ha Do Young in the convenience store, somebody was taking pictures. Was that Dong Eun's amateur spy friend? Or somebody working for Yeong-Jin, trailing Dong Eun? Or perhaps a corporate adversary of Ha Do Young's, just trying to gather dirt on him? So far, Dong-Eun seems to have incredibly precise control of everything but at some point something isn't going to go as planned.

This was a great final episode that ties off the series beautifully, there was no big goal achieved nor a great merits that our characters get but thats just life and its derailment of fate. Strangely very inspiring and touching journey of a woman trapped in her own mind, who learns to get back on her feet but all her efforts always came crashing down because the screenwriter said so ( very frustating that is ) however her coming back even stronger than before is amazing, with the reliable Qi Lian on her side to help her. " A tech is never inherently bad nor evil, its up to the human who use it " HELLO ? Them casually dropping banger of a quote which still applies to this day, especially in the era of artificial intellegent tech booming nowadays. We'll just have to wait a few years for AI to be able to catch up and able to create something similiar to the lighthouse system🙃.

The Road to Splendor Episode 31
0 people found this review helpful
This episode was very heart wrenching.😭 Mo faced this with such calm and acceptance. He knew when he signed that he would not be getting off but hoped his wife would be happy with the choice. Zhao Ling’s character was so well played with the complete horror and grief written on his face and in his actions. This was very well done and made the heaviness of the scene palpable. Ms Wu did get the ledger to TingYun but not in time for Zhao Ling to try to dissuade the emperor’s choice. When he was so willing to denigrate his own grandmother for the better of the people, General Mo did not stand a chance of having that decision waived when this sacrifice expedited things so easily. I still would have liked that ledger exposed to be considered just to see if any hope was there for him. Yu surprised me with his candid talk to Zhao Ling. It makes me wonder if the Yus were indeed very like our lead couple once upon a time when they were young and idealistic. Did they have a conscience at one time that was beaten down with the end justifies the means political machinations? This is indeed the cautionary tale for our couple to consider as they both bitterly accept with fake smiles award decrees from the emperor bathed in the blood of their friend and former ally.

Unreasonably unrealistic! The writers abandoned all sense and instead chose to rage bait the audience even more than previous episodes.

The conversation between Dong Eun and the former school nurse - who obviously herself was bullied out of her job back then - made it clear that Dong Eun's symbolic role here is to be the chosen champion, sent out to represent all those who have been bullied. Her battle is their battle. She's not just fighting for her vengeance. She's fighting for the vengeance of others as well. On the episode, no moment struck Yeon-jin more precisely than when, after she anxiously asked her daughter if anyone had put anything hot on her body, her daughter responded, "Why would anyone do that? That's so mean!"

As first episodes go - painting the expositional picture of the world and the why of what is going to follow, this episode was powerful and compelling. The drama created by the combination of the dark, grounded visuals, the brutal, cruel back story and Song Eye Kuo's soft, somber and compelling narrative voice just builds tension tighter and tighter, leaving us on the edge for the next episode.

After Moving Seats, the Boy Behind Me Has a Crush on Me Episode 8

Love how Asamiya didn't want Mayama hurt but their friends were very supportive about it. Though things weren't perfect back then, at least Mayama also feels the same as Asamiya. Honestly, their relationship is also getting better like they communicate before misunderstandings get out of hand

Hold on, Harutora-kun Episode 7
1 people found this review helpful
Episode 7 showed how Harutora’s straightforward love protects Sui from the prejudice surrounding him.Sui may look soft and delicate, but he is not weak. He has a quiet, flexible strength, like a willow bending without breaking. Even so, other people’s opinions and comments on social media can still shake him. Having a boyfriend, friends, and family who understand him gives him the emotional safety he needs.Harutora defended Sui by making it clear that being kind and caring has nothing to do with being gay. He also introduced Sui to his own mother as his boyfriend without hesitation.However, what Sui wants most is acceptance from his own family. At the parent-teacher meeting, he finally gathers the courage to tell his mother that he loves men and is dating Harutora. Her deeply confused expression makes the ending both painful and unsettling.For a young bird, being accepted by its parent may be the greatest sense of safety it can have.

Luo Mai Ming, amazing to the end. He painted himself into the paintings of his sister's travels, knowing he would never be able to experience them at her side. <3 This series did a great job making his character more than just a villainous man who wear's women's clothing. I'm going to miss him in the remainder of the series.

See guys it aint that hard to communicate, every single problem and misunderstanding can easily be solved just by opening your mouth and talking through it (with some actual efforts for other but you get what i mean) Theyre just so perfect for eachother, equally unwell mentally and helped eachother in tough time🥲💕 Honestly seeing them like this make me wonder why cant they do this since earlier episode (for the thrill ik) but the misunderstanding was horrible back then and i just feel bad for Qi Lian sm

Spring of the Blade Episode 16

"Eldest Brother, a person's faults do not extend to their children." Oftentimes, we see this is Asian dramas, where blame, guilt, shame and punishment are passed down not only to children but to several generations down, depending on the person's crime. It's so refreshing to hear that Qing Yuan bears no resentment towards her cousins who have done her no wrong.

GAY. Why is he down there like that? I am so gagged. So he has been in love with him for a while. I love this and i want to finish it bc its really short. Okay bye!

Still loving Luo Mai Ming's utter lack of remorse for his actions. The man cares about exactly one other person and does not give a toss what happens to everyone else. My favorite fictional red flag.
