Ep 18 was so well executed! The directing, the acting, the music, the dialogue....everything!
The planning and maneuvering between the leads shows how dangerous this power couple could be when they work together.
So many great scenes, including how the "red tassels" still ended up on the tree, how he scooped her up at the fire scene, the father-daughter scenes, her uncle...❤️❤️❤️
I also like the music editing—using instrumental music as a background to meaningful dialogue is so much better than playing an OST, which, at times, could drown out the words.
that wasn't the empress that was the grand princess that gave her the token and decree to choose her own marriage
Oh I have to go back and rewatch today’s and yesterday’s episodes. I thought it was the same lady who stood next to the emperor, which I assumed was the empress. Thanks!
What a great way to start the episode! Even Dou Zhao was shocked 🤣 Best of all, they now have something on that stepmother!
I used to think the empress might be one of the villains but I’m not sure anymore. She, like Princess Shude did our couple a big favor!
EDIT - turned out it was Shude who did our couple another favor. So the empress is still sus.
Such sweetness from Song Mo today…ah the whole episode was satisfying! But I’m greedy, I wanted Dou Zhao to say, “why wait 5 days, do you have a red tassel now?” ❤️
Ji Yong in the novel is way more annoying. He isn't evil, he is just arrogant, he looks down on people, and he…
Goodness, I would not like novel JiYong - especially if he fancies himself to be Dou Zhao's partner. In the show, he's shown in the present life that it was fine for others to be harmed as long as it justified his purposes.
I wonder why he was who he was in the past life...
That was hilarious - we saw a flash and then they were both in the sedan! With the folks gossiping outside.
Agreed - usually I don't watch mini series but that got a lot of attention so I am glad I watched it. That's when I knew of Ryan Cheng too and he was awesome in MJTY as well!
Jiyong needs 2 slaps for what he did today. For almost ruined DM's lifeFor feeling no remorse.
Agreed - he irritated me even more when he continued to scold Dou Zhao, and thinking that his plan was a good one. That lack of awareness is unbelievable!

Now onto ep 19!
Thanks!
I hope the Princess will not get corrupted but who knows what she might do for love…
