I know I read the novel lol but a lot of things have changed in the show already. For example, CSS's family being put in the jail. That wasn't in the novel. So that's why I said all the things I said. Idk if they will still include the scene where the Empress asks him if he wants to give up CSS and he says yes or not. But whatever route they decide to go I think the reasoning for the split will remain the same.

I agree. CSS definitely feels that something isn't right.

After watching the previews, I don't think CSS issue with LBY is going to be the fact that he takes revenge. She herself has said that she is vengeful and will pay people back for doing the ones she loves wrong. The issue will be him lying to her/abandoning her. CSS has said that she will be true to him if he doesn't lie to her. In a lot of their dialogues, there has been a lot of foreshadowing of why they will end up breaking up. Also in one of the MV's I saw, she asked LBY if he had anything to tell/say to her and I think he still won't be honest with her. I feel bad for CSS because what was the point of making her fall in love with you if you were just going to abandon her in the end without giving her a choice?

CSS seems to be pretty good at putting things together and figure out clues but I don't think she's at the point yet where she feels that he is lying to her. I think it's more so that she's aware he's keeping things from her although I'm not positive.

Rant:
I understand that people are getting frustrated with the way CSS acts sometimes but it feels like a lot of people on this thread are biased. My reason for saying this is because people are expressing frustration with how long it's taking her to confide in LBY but LBY literally doesn't tell CSS anything and he schemes a lot. For instance, the ploy to get CSS to realize her feelings was also used to collect evidence for his revenge plot. Another instance is not telling CSS a little bit about the ins and outs of the palace so she knows who to stay away from. You can't just tell your significant other 'stay away from so and so' without giving them somewhat of an explanation and expect them to take you seriously, especially someone with CSS characteristics. LBY saying 'that nothing in the palace is as it seems' and 'stay away from the eastern palace' isn't sufficient enough of an explanation to me given the relationship he knows CSS has with the empress.

Also, just to clarify, I'm not saying that some of CSS actions that are problematic are okay. I'm just saying that I wish people would give both of them the same energy especially when he and CSS are literally the same type of people. Both of them are vengeful (I don't mean this in a bad way btw), passionate, and have a hard time fully trusting others because of their past.

Sidenote:
So this next thing is completely unrelated but I think I figured out where that slap preview is from. I think CSS's mom slaps her because of something that's going to happen related to her dad and the family getting put in jail. This would make sense because CSS's mom has already expressed that she feels like CSS is becoming distant from the family (which is partially her fault) so maybe the way CSS responds to the situation will upset her. I came to this conclusion after watching the trailers that were released today. What do you guys think?

This is the best royal family I've ever seen in cdrama land. The only people with problems are the two princesses, the crown princess. But otherwise, I love them. They are all so funny.

Oh also, lmaoooo CSS told 3rd prince to shut up. I'm sorry but I died laughing. That whole punishment scene was so funny omg.

These past two episodes were so amazing.

Here are my highlights:
1. Third prince is so funny lmao. I need to see more of him and CSS interactions.
2. As for CSS and LBY's revenge, I knew they wouldn't let me down. Especially LBY. His revenge was so satisfying.
3. 5th prince when he was saying to himself that LBY can't see him.
4. The emperor and his plot to help LBY and CSS.
5. CSS sneaking into LBY's room with her blanket and soup/medicine.

I'm so excited about tomorrow morning. I can't wait to see LBY deal with those girls. I hope he says something to shut 5th princess up.

It's not that I don't want to watch the scene, it's just that if it was towards the end I wanted to wait till next week so I can watch her revenge right after and not have to wait in suspense for 4 days. I know that the episode ends in a cliff hanger so I have decided to wait until next week to watch so I can see what happens right after.

Thanks for the time stamps!!! :D

Oh okay, I think I might just wait till next week to watch this episode. Lmao.

She still loves him. She acts like she doesn't but everyone can see that they both still love each other.

From the previews, I just find it funny how YS is trying to find a CSS 2.0. Nothing is better than the original honey. Also, I feel like that's the episode where her mom slaps her?.. Cause from the other snippet I saw it looks like she's wearing the same dress??

Can someone give me a quick recap of episode 36? Lmao, I want to watch it but if she's bullied the entire time then I'd rather wait till next week to watch it so that I can watch her get her revenge. Also, does the bullying happen towards the end or middle of the episode? And does the 5th princess try to ruin her reputation this episode or next episode?

That's true. Maybe he will grow on me.

Lol, I deleted it because I realized others were also pointing out the things I mentioned. I kind of regret deleting it. Also, thank you!

From the previews, it looks like my fav YS is coming back soon...yay... (Not).

Are you sure? Cause in the translated version of the novel I read she yelled at the 5th princess to leave not CSS. It's chapter 98.... And in the novel, Ik Consort Yue is referring to the 'prank' CSS pulled but I was assuming since they changed some things that maybe there might be another reason as well.

Previews...

So I went back and rewatched the preview for episode 37 and I realized that my initial reaction was incorrect. These previews like to play tricks. From the camera angle upon first glance, it looks like the Empress is telling CSS to leave the palace but when you watch it a second time she's not facing CSS when she says that and when she faints. She's most likely saying that to the 5th princess. Also, Consort Yue telling CSS that she likes to hide a lot of things might not be a bad thing. She might be referring to the fact that from previous episodes 5th princess has been trying to harm her and she's been keeping it from the Empress.

Lastly, I'm so excited about the punishment scene. I wonder if she'll catch on.... and the way she grab his arm before he left for his punishment. So cute. I also can't wait to see 3rd prince's reaction to all of this.
