ep34The court scenes -- so different to the usual droning mountains of finery.The Emperor seemed to enjoy the disruption, and I saw a few ministers snickering in their sleeves.ChangYu was just being her usual fearless, direct self. No different from in Lin'An.So here is the question -- the peril of the capitol is real and the usual cdrama tension is -- the bad guys will sneak up and throw you in prison if you arent exceedingly clever.How can this be true (it is I am scared to death of Wei Yan) at the same time as the realism of the personal family relationships (wei Yan and Wei Xuan, Wei Yan and the Emperor) is so poignant. How can the investigations into what happened feel so interesting at the same time as the court is full of buffoonery.How does the director do this? How does he keep us watching while wriggling restively in our seats? Everyone has commented on it in one way or another -- he maintains dramatic tension even as he takes great looping swerves into comedy and deep dark true romance, How many love stories so far? In addition to the three living couples?ep34I loved the look of that embrace in the alleyway because JiuHeng is like some tall dark cloud and he just wraps ChangYu up in his cloak or whatever and they become one. Those long billowy sleeve really can turn a hug into something very sheltering.ep34FCY's procession through the streets of the capitol. What a contrast to that entrance of the god-of-war when the Marquis returned to his own camp. Scowling and slouching.Who says we didnt see enough or the original Marquis in the beginning? It was there but we just didnt see it.And as Jinbao says, so what if the female general and her merry band are from the sticks? Everybody loves a parade.

Beautiful

This episode really touched me. I’m watching it at the right moment. If I’d watched this drama a few years earlier, it would not have touched me this much, as I’ve witnessed a similar situation lately.My mom’s best friend recently got back together with her high school sweetheart in her late 60s after splitting up due to a misunderstanding in their late teens. They were married though, but they had been single for years before they met again. Now they are living together, and holding hands and going everywhere together. I bet this must be a great news for everyone who knows both of them. I heard it was greatly celebrated during a class reunion lately. 🥹

this was sweet & adorable, the start was…

this was sweet & adorable, the start was a bit cringe but Moo is funny in a goofy way & i liked his interaction wit his mother. there is love there - even if it is tough love - which he needs for sure. ***************************************************************then when he met Kang - instant chemistry, they so adorable together & so so innocent (even though the actors r 20 they look like babies), really enjoyed the vibe of this 1st ep. ***********************************************************************************but idk why Kang doesn't think he is kind, given everything we see of him in this ep - he IS utterly kind & big hearted to boot, but i guess it has something to do with his parents or deceased father - will have to wait & see.

before anything i have to say that i hated…

before anything i have to say that i hated the narrator, that kept giving us info about peaches, maybe at the start it was cute / interesting, but after a while it turned boring & felt like he was basically selling the same crap, just "dressed" in different ways. *wish this was the only minus in this BL - it wasn't, Poom isn't a good actor & his 'sexy face' was anything but... so was his acting on a whole. ***************************************************************************************************************************also this BL hugely relied on the sex scenes - which turned this into soft core porno or erotica, which is a genre that has it's audience, to me it felt exploitative - cause both mains r newbies & as a main role means recognition & more work, they (most newcomers) r desperate to become famous, idk if this type of BL will get them the right attention. or showcase their acting abilities. ******************************************************************************************************************************i fast forwarded huge parts of this BL so i wont be rating it (here i have to to post a review) & yet i don't think i missed out on anything important. the 2n couple was non existent to me. & after the train wreak that was the pervious ep - idk why we needed one more ep to finish things off - but i get that if u loved this & liked the mains character's then u want to see a ep that is full of fluff & happiness - something healthy after a load of toxicity. personally i don't get where Sasom's overbearing, tyrannically controlling parents disappeared to. they suddenly just disappeared after one ep & i am left wondering why even introduce them(?) if u not gonna use them. oh well - the mains got a happily ever after & the main plus this ended. better luck next time for all the actors involved

what a freakin depressing ep, half of this…

what a freakin depressing ep, half of this ep was hella depressing & i get it's so Lynx could make peace with his mother & finally activate his powers. but aish i didn't wanna tear up & feel this depressed in the last - which usually is upbeat & happy. yeah the rest was very fluffy & fun. but the start tool a bit of the "shine" away. still a very very sweet BL. First & Khao did a great job - but their chemistry is that of an old married couple. they like a comfy pair of old slippers. looking at them u know u home. so nothing surprising there. *************************************************************************************************************Leo was an added bonus & he liven things up - pity his character was underdeveloped & there wasn't more of him in general - but what we got was a delight & i loved him. cute BL

The masks are off and outmaneuvered

PengYu reopens the street vendor renovation project and has a hard time accepting that’s all YuCi wants for her shares. She simply wants him to take on his most difficult task of being called a good man. He even agrees to team with Li if it will oust Jiang. Things looks bright as Chen Mo and YuCi enjoy a sunset, share a kiss and make plans for her bday. She dares to see the sun for just this short while. Jiang has a temper tantrum in his closet and Li has suggested he leaves Lysen. That’s when Jiang comes back that Bosi is a done deal so he didn’t renege on his promise. Li knows something big happened and he’s not happy. LiangLiang knew when the street vendors returned that YuCi was behind the shares. She also tells Gma she is the flip side of the coin with YuCi, daring to go where YuCi would not. She finds the info on Market Master and his crypto text fund and hands it all to Jiang. She also says that YuCi had him in her revenge plans all along. YuCi never cared about Jiang’s placement at all but he believes LiangLiang’s lie that he was part of YuCi’s revenge. He never stopped to think it was countering his lie to fund her projects if she got Li to back them. He knows LiangLiang lies, but because they give him what he wants, those 10% shares, he willingly falls in line with them. They all richly deserve each other. Lysen is literally hell. 🤬They all leave the building so that YuCi is confronted by Jiang’s putter. After telling TianTian to trust her instincts, I wish she would have done that when she paused knowing something was up before she entered the room. Even the Gma thought she was hit too hard. Liang Liang and Gma show up at the scene to observe his handiwork and get their turns. Liang Liang read all about the twin in Mr Rao’s diary. She was just waiting for the proper time to share the news. After the daddy reveal for her, she is more than happy to return the favor on why Rao loathed YuCi. He mourned the child that wasn’t. The Gma took her turn about MuRan’s death and how she was instrumental kinda ignoring the fact that her grandson and LiangLiang were instrumental in Qiang’s demise. She mocks her 4% shares and says children shouldn’t get involved and this mess is the result of two bickering little girls. Jiang denies her answering Chen Mo’s call but challenges her to call the police. He promises to end everyone and thing she cares about and that he can do it. With the Gma’s comment, the three of them witnessing her psychological breakdown, I am thinking she will find herself back in the psych ward but it will be different now. Her friends have been exposed and may not be able to help her. I hope Market Master gets to keep his hiding place and doesn’t get hurt by the snake trio. He knew it was a risk and hopefully has connections to shield him. I am super annoyed that Chen Mo interfered and didn’t let YuCi know she was a twin. This was a huge disservice that LiangLiang got to blindside her with. I’m betting YuCi’s mom doesn’t know about the diary. What we don’t know is if YuCi did. While all this is happening, Mr Rao wakes up. This is a horrible place to end and only one episode for next two days.😝This drama has been scorned by some for being a Makjang. If that is what this is, I am a fan. The twists and turns keep me interested and even with this annoying change of events, I am riveted to my seat wanting to see what happens next. Kudos to cast and production crew for making me feel so invested in these characters. 👏🏻
