ugh i aint looking forward to this ending,…

ugh i aint looking forward to this ending, cause even though this toxic as hell & thought so from the start, heck had a hard time liking Ju cause of his "mean girl" behavior. but this was a fun ride & really am enjoying this - but it is what it is, everything gotta end. the fact that by the end of the ep Chae Ha was back to holding onto Ju like a liferaft was hilariously predictable. dude is a masochist, so of course after the initial shock (after finding out Ju really was & why he was so antagonistic towards him), he realized he rather be miserable with him, then happy without him. *****************************************************************if anything this show goes to show u how past trauma & the things u were put through childhood molds u into the adult u r. that's why i think this is really well written & acted, cause it's not hard to figure out anything if u just "read" what is being portrayed & said. *********************************************************************************************************************btw i am kinda shocked that Tak more or less came out & confessed that he was involved in the mains father's murder & framing (guess this down to the fact we almost at the end). & always wondered if Chae Ha's father actually took his life in prison or was also "help" so Ju's father's case could be wrapped up & closed forever. idk if we will get an answer in the last ep, as we got a final revel of the "son" - will have to wait & see

Lead couple's progress and FL's... change

I still enjoy the story so far and am willing to overlook certain illogical/irrational details, especially when it comes to lead couple's progress. It has been prevalent since episode 19 that FL is warming to ML. Their increased screen time together helps tremendously (banzai to the wedding). I doubt there would have been anything without their close proximity. When everything else is equal and constant, I can't help but notice how FL suddenly... changes. Change is not a bad thing. It's natural and ought to be. However, it's like a sore thumb because in a single-episode span, FL went from a cold, reserve person to a soft, warm, somewhat pouty, cutesy when with ML without any transition. Even within her close circle, with her trusted people and other characters, she remains the same. This happened after ML gifted her the parrot. Maybe, it's the power of the parrot or a comedian. But ML has been an even greater comedian since the beginning, so why? Again, I'm still entertained by the series. Nevertheless, I think, it would have benefited from having a couple of transitional episodes for FL. Her characterisation made sense to me. If I were to use harsher words, it would have been character betrayal or assassination. Well, I have my criticism, but am not extreme.

A great series, but ....

I'm personally really tired to the over-reliance on the 'noble idiocy' drama trope for both FL & SFL. Both ZiYi and Ling Su are stupidly, idiotically torturing themselves (and also harming the ones they love) for absolutely no good reasons by keeping their extreme secrets. ZiYi's head seems to be brainwashed to believe all kinds of absolutely stupid nonsense planted in her head by that psycho "All-Knowing Nun" master of hers. And Ling Su is just driving strait over a suicide cliff by not revealing her need to return to Medicine Valley just to stay alive. Each has contorted their thinking into believing they are doing this for 'selfless' reasons, but both are actually hurting - or going to hurt. - other people because of this. Noble Idiocy is one of the most annoying, hated drama tropes and there is almost never a good plot reason for using it other than to drag out contrived drama. It never feels realistic because it requires characters to act unnatural - not like real humans.

Wonderful ending to a wonderful story!

He survived the battle, but lost his memories, yet he had that feeling to go to the Northern border and fulfill some promise he couldn't quite remember. 🥺She went to the battlefield, but couldn't find him and drew her own conclusion as to why he might still be alive. She kept her title as the Heir's Consort, even if the rest of the world thought her husband was dead... What a wonderful and loving wife! 🤧She traveled around yet never was alone because she held her husband in her heart, while he healed after his grave injuries caused by the weapon she created, and hiding behind the mask. They held onto each other on their own ways — she to her memories, he to his unexplainable feelings — and found each other once again. 🤗🥹Love that even death and destruction couldn't kill, and like a magnet led them back together! Wonderful ending to a wonderful story! ❤️🥰P.S. I expected to see some action with the cane and combat with blind WuYi, but apparently his training and her gift wasn't meant to be used after all. 😅
