A flower that could ruin lives

My suspicion that Du Cuique is not as innocent and nice as she looks has grown even stronger. I am more than certain that the flower on Jinqi's head wasn't an accident and that it was her scheme to make everyone assume there was romantic interest, forcing him to marry her. I am just not sure if her brother was in on it or not, because his reaction was hard to read. 🤨And I am so mad at Du Cuique for putting the blame on Xiaolian... my poor, sweet girl! 😢🫂The Lin family is lucky Shen Jialan survived all those years ago. Without her, Jinqi would have another unwanted marriage and possibly an even worse wife than the first. 🫣 But she's earning trust and getting recognized now — Jinqi's mother and grandfather definitely appreciate her quick thinking, cleverness and, in the end, her loyalty to their family.As for Jinqi — he's questioning her, and to be fair, I don't blame him. The situation is suspicious from all angles, and maybe her help was also pre-planned... But I think it'll be fine and he will be satisfied with whatever she tells him about the other flowers. 😌I am not sure if I'm correct, because there are so many characters and it's becoming a bit challenging to follow who is who, but I think Liu Xiuwan was watching a different young man, not the one she was supposed to. The young man shooting arrows had the same clothing as the guy who read poems and was sitting separately from everyone — matching the info she had on what the poem guy was wearing, right? 🤔

Mori Buhe scrificed himself

"It's not stingy, but thrifty.""After taking it to a close game, I have to lose. That's the hard part.""He's improving his skills of losing now."Mori Buhe sacrificed himself to save his Lord (Kanbe) in this episode. This is so painful. On the other hand, Takenaka Hanbei decided to work under Toyotomi Hideyoshi.New characters appeared. I just checked and found out this one was released in the same year as "Nobunaga Concerto". So far, I'm seeing familiar faces who were in both dramas, playing different supporting characters. Hamada Gaku played Kuriyama Zensuke, and Takahashi Issey played Inoue Kuroemon in this drama, who both would later be part of the "24 Kuroda Horsemen", while in "Nobunaga Concerto", their characters could be considered as enemies lol. It must be interesting for the cast. Anyway, I hope that the Kuroda clan will soon cut ties with that lame Lord of the Kodera clan. I already knew what would happen to them according to the history facts, but I'm still sad and furious.

so disappointed in that last part

I wanted this show to be good too. I'm so sad. I wish it was 12 episodes. We set it up pretty okay and the middle was good and then the shit with the brother took away from the plot. Also didn’t he wake up? Also we fucked up the plot pacing badly. Tying them by fate is so fucking random. This happened at the start. This was done terribly. The part where he is coming back. Muen not reacting at all. We slow burned for 7/10 episodes and now this is what we get, plot tha hardly makes sense. This flashback means nothing bc this show was done so poorly with plot pacing. Total drama island ah name. Leng was fucking it up. Scooby-Doo ah reveal with the glasses. im done with them. okay bye!
