Gossiping gang these ones hahaha YL and YY learning fast from the big brothers

of the chinese dramas they've had recently, i haven't seen them have express. might be something their app can't do

Han Ri Ta : a noble woman who despite being the daughter of a general was kept away from the gruesome realities of war. was a war victim as her family was killed (by her beloved) in front of her and even publicly. has seen her beloved kill his own bodyguard to let her escape. has seen her beloved kill many others to protect her. initially thought it was his father who makes him kill, but instead realized that her beloved (as much as we like the ML) has a default setting of kill to protect, nothing about diplomacy in his bones. and yet he is miserable being this killing machine.

Kang Young Hwa : a modern day woman. modern age morality puts human rights at importance. imagine being confronted with her past life with multiple deaths of innocents in just a few days. the dreams felt real, is real. it is bound to leave her very confused with her present life and her past self. then you have people around you being put in harm's way because of a so-called curse. she knows nothing of this curse except what the father-possessed ex-CEO and beloved-possessed ML tell her. how can she think straight?

How to deal with a child having tantrums without dunking his face into water

Now I get why RRY looked at NYZ riding a horse and thought "yeah, I want to tap that"

In the spoiler teaser where the gang is bullying him, NYZ does tell them not to overdo it. Makes me think he and RRY will parent their way into fixing this child.

AHAHAHAhAHAhAHAHAHAHA

RRY to NYZ: You're not allowed to die
Me to AJTL Wu delegation: None of you are allowed to die!!!

We are all praying this drama won't crash in the second half because it's really been great so far.

In case we did not get it, writer made sure RRY said it "He's been eccentric since a child"

hence the new poster: https://mydramalist.com/photos/x427XE_3

I think RRY and NYZ will end up "adopting" another child to get him to grow up

Even if he finds out that she's his shifu, he has long passed the respect-only stage. The only way out of his crazy obsession is for he himself to recognize it, stop himself, and let go. I don't feel bad for him. He has seen how the princess said she'd die with NYZ. If he still tries to take the princess by force, it is his downfall.

Pretty sure YSS has put his life at risk too many times to count with the way he is

And we were looking out that window too, at YY and RRY. Director and writer and AF executed that so well!

We've reached midpoint with NYZ near death experience and RRY having to face how much NYZ means to her. They can only be stronger from this point on.
Even though I knew NYZ won't die yet (too many scenes in spoilers not yet shown), Ep20 put me on the edge. Eps 19-20 was worth the 2-day wait.

This drama keeps serving!

I was glad I was not drinking anything myself because I chuckled hard

Been through this with Chang Chen being too old in Love and Destiny. Even Ni Ni was criticized for being square faced for a fairy role. In the end, L&D went to be nominated for International Emmys. So don't be bothered by them naysayers. AJTL is top drama in china now. Let's enjoy the drama that these cast and crew worked hard on together.

We're seeing more of the way Crimson Guards under RX worked. Such great minds. I want more.
