Trap for north or betrayal?

This episode had a series of events that has the North against the Xies and disguising as Xiao Ju to kill Tutor Xie. Mao makes a deal to get WuYi spared, but with who and what in recompense? LeJun tries to get home but is caught. Is she aware that Wuyi pronounced Prince Wenxi dead? Mao knows the truth of his father’s death but uses it to frame Xiaos and try to get control of the army. Tutor Xie was taking a path towards redemption but was cut down to be silenced. Is Mao covering up his lineage trail? WuYi has come back with Ye slaves in the north and diverts his original plan to rescue JiaYu. Her conversation with Mao was very calm and collected. She didn’t waste effort showing him emotional turmoil in any fashion and assured him she chose to be by WuYi’s side. She has outlined the plot pretty thoroughly and didn’t even bother giving him contempt. She just assured him whether with WuYi or no, her life’s plan would be to follow WuYi’s course for the people. She congratulated him on having the disposition to be emperor. 😝They keep showing his concubine with odd looks so it remains to be determined what side she is on. This plot of the north has drawn out the shadow guards who have not been used until this new development. I think Mao got a surprise that JiaYu could stab him up close and personal. When it seemed sure they would be captured, WuYi intervenes but lets Mao know their next meeting he would not be spared. Was satisfied that his parting shot was cutting off the top knot. Mao lets them go because he knows the rest of Xiao family is slated for execution and WuYi won’t let that slide without showing up. It is unclear if this is all a ploy to deceive the north or if Mao is colluding with the north to get his sister back and control of Beifu army. Is this a plot to soften collateral damage from a war with the north? Prince Qi, Eagle King and Xiao WuYi…….are any of these three working together? Or are they separately trying to keep balance of power? Prince Qi is showing malice at not having complete control of JianKang. Has his ambition overrode everything else? It seems too quick a turn around after seeing WuYi destroy the phoenix heart tokens. There is no logic for him to want WuYi to live and to want his head on a platter at same time. So who is really in disguise? Everything shifting to definite war with the north coming. Prince Qi seems determined to keep himself top power no matter the cost but even JiaYu could not decide what was fact or fiction with him. She just knows where her heart and allegiance lies and it’s not with him.

WE HAVE HUSBANDS!!!

What a beautiful ending to a beautiful journey! I've grown so attached to these characters, and sending them back to the novel feels bittersweet. I think there couldn't have been a more perfect ending, and it encapsulated all the emotions we felt throughout the series so wonderfully. I loved the director's cameo and all the little subtle nods to real life. Saying goodbye to Sun was so beautifully done, and it made me sob! I couldn't imagine that being done any other way, and seeing Sun in the physical alongside PobmekSolar was something I didn't know I needed! The switch between the scene outside the school where Pobmek shows his ring and the proposal scene was swoon-worthy - I couldn't stop squealing! I truly love this show with all my heart and can't wait to see what PerthSanta gets up to next!

Solar has a kinder heart than me, that's for sure

Firstly, I'll say that I am the biggest hater of Solar's father - nothing can justify leaving your very young child alone after their other parent has just died. That being said, we finally have more information about Solar's mother and it is so heartbreaking. I really love how this series has touched on so many different important themes and doesn't shy away from showing the realities of these conditions. The montage while Solar and his father read his mother's letter broke me because you could feel how hard she wanted to fight to be better for Sun. I also love that whenever either Solar or Pobmek are going through something particularly devastating, their other half is always in the scene with them as if to signify just how much support they give each other. And I have to shout out Santa's acting once again - the constant switching between Solar and Sun was so distinct yet smooth and continues to show off Santa's amazing acting skills!

Even my anxiety starting rising!!

This episode was both beautiful and heartbreaking in different ways. The scene where Solar has a panic attack and we see him switch to Sun without going to sleep for the first time was crazy! Not only because it makes us realise that Solar is slowly losing control over his emotions, which throughout the series we have seen him to be someone who hides his emotions nearly all of the time, but also because the panic Solar felt, which then translated into the panic Sun felt, was so so heartbreaking! Santa really played both roles so well that you really felt the panic a 7-year-old would feel when they experience a panic attack for the first time. Then we have Pobmek finally admitting to himself and his friends how lost he feels about how to help Solar. Truly, Perth and Santa's acting continues to blow me away!

Just binged this entire show

And just like that, that show's over. I actually like that a lot. That was really fun. I feel like they could have done a little bit more with the ending, but I understand the actors were what, 19 in this, so I am like, okay, whatever. Low key, I like this a lot, and I did not think I was going to like it because... Penguin, anything with bestiality, I am good off that, but this is really good and I enjoyed it a lot. North Pole, a little bit hard to watch, but it is okay. We are going to watch our couple Mac, so that is even better. Yeah, I would give it like an 8.5 for the ending. Four-year-long situationship for another couple. I hope they make a season two, even though it has been two years. I am praying for my season two, though, because I do not play about them, bro. Okay, that is it. Okay, bye.

Oh my God, so much just happened. I am overstimulated as hell. RIP the ghost lady. Love the sexy principal. Shout out her one time. I do not know how he got up after he got hit with the pot. I think just true ambition. You know what? Hell yeah. I cannot hate the player. I have to hate the game. What’s it called? Son just got dropped by a bullet, and now he is a panther again, wandering the forest, and his penguin boyfriend is trying to find him. Wow, wonder how this is going to go. One episode left. Let us switch the beat. I need you all to fuck at least three times in this episode, in animal form and human form, lock it in. Okay, cat gasped--I do not know what cat would gasp at, shout out cat one time. Low-key an 8 out of 10 episode. A lot happening, but it is pretty fluid, so I cannot hate it. I have to hate the game. Okay, bye.

Dirty feet cam, cause there is no fucking way. I had an inkling that things were going a little too well for it being episode 7, and their bubble was just burst. Also, I was like, why would they? Oh, it is episode 8, actually, I am tripping. But fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. Okay, so hopefully they work through this and we get my boy back and we are happy again. Yay, yay, yay. You are a literal panther chasing after the car, but no, our instincts are not intact. Bro, you are afraid of fucking gunshots and fireworks, still lock the fuck in and go chase them, bro. Panther versus two guys, panther is fucking winning. Bitch, lock in. Okay, bye.
