I really loved that quote from her grandfather in the first episode: “Water is the softest material in the world. Overcome hardness with softness.” ❤️ Love Manman.

I am glad you liked it!! It’s my favorite Asian show. The only minor complaint I have is just wishing that there was more fighting / war scenes on screen. O well.

Everyone mostly plots against the ML and try to use the FL to harm the ML. There are a lot of villains, but most of them are pretty dumb 😂

Never to our FL 😊 Just against the ML, and only for the first part of the show.

Yeah it totally doesn’t matter. I watched Pillow Book first, actually. You can watch in either order :)

I knooooooowwww lol. And I miss the silver hair 😭

I picked up this show a bit ago and wooooowww. It’s good! I love the FL and feel so bad for the ML being guilted into all of these marriages with scheming women. And goodness, a (smaller) part of me also feels bad for these women having to live in such a cutthroat world. What a good, complex show so far. I am also getting serious Jane Austen vibes, which I also appreciate.

I finished it last night. I was very confused by all of it. It was kind of a mess, to be honest. O well, onto the next show I suppose.

Yeah I mean who can blame them though???? 😂

And the main song, even though slightly overused 😍I rewatch this annually. Still one of the best.

To defeat *smashes pots* the Huuuuuuuuuuuuns

Yea this is historical China???? lol Maybe watch a different genre if you’re looking for a modern brand of feminism?

Pillow Book (or Eternal Love of a Dream) is more of a spinoff to Eternal Love. It focuses on the second leads, but their relationship is very different in the spinoff.

I thought she was so freaking cute. Gaahhh

🔥🔥🔥🔥YUP

You could give Shadow Love a try 😊

Yeeeeaaahhhhh that was rough 😅I remember yelling at my TV for a while there lol

Yeah it makes sense. I don’t fault her at all for not telling him right away (I wouldn’t have), but I think it would have helped the viewer a LOT if we had gotten a glimpse into her thoughts as to better understand her. I don’t think it worked well leaving the viewers (me) to try to guess as to why. All I saw was she seemed to be connecting to Prince Annan a little bit, seeing that he wasn’t actually that terrible and treated her troops well, and even making flirty eyes at him. I saw her just being petty that he stormed into her room to ask her about his identity, so she lied out of pettiness. The kiss I know didn’t help the situation, but there were still plenty of other opportunities to tell him what happened the past year. Maybe when they were sitting on the roof and he got her fabric. Maybe when he asked her about Jin An at the table. Or when she treated the bruise on his back. I dunno. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thank you for this! You literally spelled out my issues in a way that makes more sense. It was messy and I also was having a bit of a whiplash to Prince Annan getting some sadistic pleasure in shoving his thumb into her hand wound and then like an episode or two later being an upright prince who treats is prisoners well?? And yeah, that weird assassination attempt being inconsistent with him valuing honor later on. It was weird and inconsistent. Thank you for putting it better than I could!

Yes there is 😊 It’s about 8 minutes long and it’s their wedding. Lovely costumes.
