Episode 11 and they are not together. If they aren't together by the end of 12 I'm putting it on hold 'till it's done.

HA!

Ha! I did the same. That whole middle section was a mess and I just skipped it. lol

This. Like the story lines work and actually work a little better if they are happy in a relationship. Can you imagine the drama of the Royal Princess trying to matchmake him while he's very happily married to Mudan? The kidnapping goes harder. The night in the palace is sexier. His suggesting divorce. Etc. SMH.

Um...

We've gone from Manufactured Miscommunication to Noble Idiocy (I'm gonna protect you from yourself) with the same result. They aren't together (confessing).

HA!

And it was entirely too long. We *just* did this at the beginning of the season. Why would there need to be *another* moment of her telling him she's not interested.

My last comment of the day. I was REALLY annoyed by the fake confession. Writers gotta know we're all waiting for the couple to get together so that fake-out was just playing in our faces.

I don't understand the need to make the main character suffer so much. First season everything was balanced with her time with her friends and JCY. Now she couldn't enjoy her success and acknowledgement with the Emperor before it's more trauma. Sigh. It's okay for c-drama characters to be happy. I promise.

See...

Anyone want to hazard a guess why he's got his hands in the blocks and people are throwing food at him (Floral Envoy)?? Looks like might happen in the next two episodes (likely 13).

Same. Nowadays for the longer series, I'll watch the first 5. Watch the midpoint episode. Then watch the last 5, and only go back and watch the filler episodes if necessary. lol

lol. You know that's what's gonna happen. Or they become a couple - then he disappears for God & Country - then after battle is won when get an episode 24 of their happily ever after. Total of 2-3 whole episodes of them being a couple. Ha!

Honestly I thought it was cute. He's the Flower and Bird Envoy OF COURSE his confession would be over the top. I think it was very on brand for the character. Remember if she would have let him she would have had the grandest of grandest weddings just as a concubine. lol

No, we're gonna get the "Sacrifices himself for the good of the country" trope and they will be separated for a minute. lol We getting 3 episodes of them as a couple. lolsmh

Also be prepared for when they finally make the marriage real - for them to be separated and then in true c-drama fashion, the last 5 episodes will have all the action. lol

Are their any previews for episode 12?

You talking about the Imperial Doctress?

That would be fine if they were together and we were seeing business related things. But we aren't. And so it's just pain. No enjoyment.
