estar i will never get why it's such a huge joke to the teens in japan - where they act like they like someone & then shame that same guy/girl when they say "no, thank u" - like what, having good manners & trying to turn someone down kindly is ridicule worthy? i guess when ur that immature, u would act that way & also the one being made fun off, wouldn't have the tools to see that the bullies r the ones that look like fools & not him - Mayama in this case. but i guess we needed some trauma to over come. *******this cute & all, but there is something missing - idk the flow doesn't feel natural - like something is missing for Asamiya to go from 0 to 110 in a blink. little wonder Mayama's head is spinning. lets hope the next 6 ep's give them the time for this to start feeling more organic.

On one hand, Lu Jin deserved to have to pay some penance for the way he left Yan Yan hanging, getting insulted and bullied by Li Man. And it was important for him to actually say the words to confess. Yan Yan kept giving him wide-open opportunities to simply say the words and he kept pausing and deflecting until finally she asked him point blank and he had nowhere to hide and said "yes". This was like a weight off both their shoulders and things finally started to move forward again. But the ending scene was annoying. At this point, both have pretty much confessed and are moving forward but Yan Yan still allows Ziqian to insert himself into their dinner and allows him to think he still has a chance. First off, she should remember how she felt jealous of Li Man and realize that Lu Jin probably is upset to see any closeness between her and Ziqian. Further, it simply isn't fair to Ziqian, either. She needs to draw a very clear line with him and be open and honest about where her feelings lie.

IrenaK Oh, Yake... Just as I expected, she almost ruined the operation. 🤦♀️ Thankfully, Tingyun and Ling saved the day once again by persuading Madam Yan to cooperate in exchange for the safety of her daughters. 😮💨I don't believe Madam Yu will let Yake live in peace after learning they lost the prince's reward because of her foolishness — and with it, any potential favour for her son. Also, she now knows Yake was one of the contributors to Tingyun's framing back then, which means that because of her, she lost Tingyun as her daughter-in-law as well... 🤨I am struggling with the idea of Tingyun and Ling going their separate ways, so fingers crossed Master Zhao comes up with something to make Ling stay with them... He wouldn't let the Crown Prince down, right? 😉🤞 Also, I kind of didn't expect Ling's career as Jiuweijiao to end so soon... 😒Clapping hard for how Tingyun got her payback on Yake, unmoved by her grovelling and begging. 👏 Yes, Yake, that's what you get for betraying your childhood friend! And Yake is the one who looks down on herself the most, making herself her own worst enemy. 🙄😐And now selling even more of her father's books to get some fancy wood? Her husband-to-be won't approve of that, nor do I, to be fair. 😒

cccmmm Last episode promised us many things to come, but actually nothing interesting happened during ep 7. I was honestly quite disappointed and bored.

This episode was whimsical and funny. It has great characters and goes places you won't expect. I love the magic elements and the ridiculousness of it all. I was glued to my screen laughing the whole time.

After episode seven I went down a rabbit hole reading all the Wikipedia articles about the historical events that this drama revolves around. I found all of them fascinating, and the drama seems to portray them reasonably accurately, from what I can tell. All in all I'm very impressed with this drama, and would give the drama as a whole a 10, but this episode drove me nuts. I'm getting quite frustrated with Prince Thinnakorn's absolute spinelessness, inability to stand up for himself, and constant self-blaming for things that his father did. Clearly he is the soft/gentle type, and I'm trying to buy into it, but I found myself yelling at my computer screen multiple times this episode, asking him why he can't stand up for himself, just once. I'm not saying there shouldn't be drama in a situation like this, but really Prince Thinn, grow up!

Things were progressing too much in a positive direction for too long for a 24 episode series so inevitably a glitch had to show up. This comes in the form of Lu's manipulative secretary / business partner, Li Man, who shows up, quickly realizes that Lu is getting involved with someone and manipulates him into leaving for business with her and breaking things off with Nan Nan before they get any further. This woman clearly is a schemer and clearly has unrequited feelings for Lu Jin. Both leads performance in this episode its really amazing. Very emotional for both of them. Watching LuSi be sad and crying is, of course, always hard to watch as a viewer because she makes you want to cry with her. But at least as a viewer we sorta know this isn't the end and that somehow, someway, he will be back. So that makes it a little easier to watch. Aside: One aspect of the show that's a bit maddening is just how awful all of the various friends and family are on both FL & ML's sides. Yan Yan's friends and family are just awful to her, only interacting with her for their own selfish purposes and dropping her like a hot potato the moment they can't be bothered And on Lu Jin's side, his supposed assistant, Meng, is just awful. Not only is he a smart Alec who mouths snark to his boss, he undercuts him behind his back - in this episode in particular by not telling him about Li Man's arrival and worse, literally letting her in to roam around freely in Lu Jin's room and stuff! Almost none of the supporting characters has truly been 'supportive' of either Yan Yan or Lu Jin so far in this drama. Six episodes done - 25% of the series - is this how the show is going to go all the way?

Ivylina Jolie ⚠️Finale SPOILER Alert⚠️ AI GIRL Ep 7 - Hmmm, how do I describe/explain what I went through during this Finale Episode? First, I was downright bewildered, discombobulated, aghast, stupefied, flustered, and dumbfounded and flabbergasted that Gen chose Ai over Irene! My goodness, there was the living, breathing, warm, gorgeous, sexy A.F. Irene, practically throwing herself at Gen, offering herself to Gen, to sub for Ai! And what did Gen do? Rejected Irene (c'mon Gen, another major heartbreaking rejection for Irene, after she told you what her Thai dad did to her?! you're so mean, Gen). So I thought, hey Irene, if Gen doesn't want you, why don't you come over and stay with me instead. Delulu.** That walk-on part of P'Le and Ran? Absolutely divine! I ❤️❤️❤️ Mie. ** And I continued watching and everything was kinda cringe coz, well, Ai's a robot!!!! Until the final scene came. 45 years later, Gen and Ai are still together.... And I found myself bawling my eyes out😭😭😭😭😭😭And this show made me - the jaded, commitment-phobic, overprotective-of-my-own-heart me - think: If I REALLY had to choose between a human who would eventually cheat on me and break my heart again, and a robot who would be loving and loyal and faithful and sweet to me until the day I croak, wouldn't I choose the robot, too? Oh man, so many existential questions now running sprints and marathons inside my head!AI GIRL, you started as a cute sci-fi fantasy romance.... And ended as one of the most thought-provoking philosophical, metaphysical, ontological works of 2026. Good job, Me Mind Y! Oh my oh my, Me Mind Y - You blew our minds with LOVE BEYOND DREAMS. And now you're making us think about the very essence of love and mortal existence with AI GIRL.... What would you come up with next? I LOVE YOU!

The first episode is a bit of a mixed bag. On the negative side, the 'humor' used to setup the initial conflict is very forced and cringe to the point of just not really being funny. Kinda stupid even. BUT ... the episode is still overall fun and enjoyable as it smoothly establishes some beautiful cooking scenes as a staple of the show, two lovely protagonists and the small cast of characters around them.

Kristina303 hahaha that's hilarious. Seeing the guys crying and worrying over a peace of bread. The "romance" is such a time waste but I'm interested to see the boys' schemes to acquire the fathers wealth and droving the rest of the "family" dog mad XD

nero truong this is probably fujigaya’s most important episode i feel like everything clicks here. i think his cheery ，lazy image is a bit of a facade & over±compensation. from the first scene of him on that motor+cycle to now ，everything kind’ve does actually change. but at some point you are still the same person that you’ve been trying to be. we haven’t really tapped into the psyche of momoe yet but here i enjoy her trying to continue to be the sun shining on fujigaya.

Now I am thinking that the theory of Huayong being Prince Qian's son might actually be possible here. That would perhaps explain not only why the Emperor poisoned him, but it could also be another reason why his name doesn't have Chang, but Hua in it. And then the "beloved son" story might just be to cover up why that name is different... 🤔But I do love that Changqing has kind of come around. I was worried for a moment that he would use the situation to his benefit and lie about what had happened with Huayong. I have really enjoyed his character and all this brotherly bonding these past few episodes. 🤗 I hope Changqing stays like this for now. We have enough villains to cover that department — Prince Ding, possibly the Emperor, and also Qingshi is still somewhere around. 😅🙏 AND I can't forget about the biggest villain there is — Huayong's illness. 🫣🥺P.S. Bath scene was very good, but felt a bit too short.

KJ2025 The man in the wall was holding Wu’s whistle. Wu confesses to killing the men of Unit 401 to escape. Hatoyama was experimenting on them and promised a cure if Wu helped them get the black sand. The vats in the sun-moon area are filled with the black sand. Wu’s drawing was a clock with 12:08 time. This was the stopped time in clinic where Unit 401 disappeared. The leader of unit 401 was mutating to become a Zainiangniang and tried to attack Wu. Hatoyama threatened this for all the men and said he could cure the one infected if Wu was compliant. Yin Changsheng used mutated humans as a barrier to the tower. They existed between the tower and miasma forests. Hatoyama could not clear the forests without the Zainiangniang. They were immune because the black sand came from them. The cycle for the sand is people are mutated to become Zainiangniang and over time scales are shed from them that over time becomes the black sand that plays with people’s minds by distorting memories. Wu believed the sand caused hallucinations and Hatoyama believed the sand made Changsheng’s spells reality. Animals forgot their masters and humans lost track of time. Past, present and future twisted around in imagination made them unaware of time passage between events. Repetitive trips were filled in by their minds making it seem like a time jump. Hatoyama wanted to use the sand to win the war. Huo found the ledgers from the original silk shop and realized her mind made them her relatives rather than giving an account from a disciple. Her ledger confirmed multiple trips with the sand playing with her mind. Everybody is now on the same page about what the sand does, just still to be determined to what degree they are effected by it. They are still not completely clear on what was fact and what was fiction in their multiple trips. They have surmised that Hatoyama has a way to neutralize its effects and that originally QianSui had been released, but he knew too much so he was killed and body brought back to look like the spell worked. They are all clear now that Hatoyama’s primary goal is to get the sun-moon sand. Very convoluted plan this episode.
