Alice_01

Yes tommorow!All 5 eps left will drop with express!

I think this is what I liked in a way about it...It perfectly captured the hardships women had to go through back then and how little say they had about their own lives their whole time and how dysfunctional and complicated noble houses could be...Which is why pure and nieve girls like Dou Ming are goners from the get-go...

I have yet to watch ep29 so I will have to come back to you later ><

Well sure but by showing them more it helps also with giving depth to their characters..Like Song Han had almost 0 screen time up to ep 27 cause he was still hiding himself and his intentions like a wolf in sheep's clothing...Now finally he got the chance to take all he things he deserves and stop acting...So he gets the screentime for us to truly know him better but since he is a villain and a rather psychotic heartless one at that the audience gets infuriated just by his presence and does not want to see him (which I do understand since I feel it too but blaming the script and directing cause of that is extreme lol)
As for the rest of the villains we still got 5 eps to cover...Like how they gave eps 27-29 to Song Han x AnSu we could get more of them as well plus 5th uncle and Ji Yong have gotten their fair share of scenes too actually it's just that they were better distributed while Songhan's arc is more compressed since his mask fell off in one swoop and rather late into the plot...

"I, the Princess, will not marry you. Yours truly, Zhu Rongying"

LMAOOO
And all that in front of all Song Han's peers at that hahaha
This public humiliation was too tasty of a meal and so deserved!! As if a bastard child who is a psycho could ever deserve the hand of a princess!!
Even tho the princess has barely had any screen time I can say with certainty I LOVE her character already!! 😂😂

This...Like this drama has been focusing so much on our leads and their story in the 1-26 eps already especially compared to many other famous cdrama that have had side characters/villains take up way more screen time overall...I think everyone has become rather "spoiled" thus far that cannot even bear going 2-3 eps without them being the main focus for the plot's sake and flesh out of the villains...Hopefully, tomorrow's 5 eps and ending are satisfying enough to turn the tides once again lol

And I am sure if the last ep serves us well tomorrow you will witness another 180 degrees again haha It's always been like that in here...

I swear she is still somewhere in there but was misled by her foolish love for that scroudel Song Han and that palace maid...Hopefully she is not a lost cause and redeems herself in the end...We can't have another Dou Ming case here sigh...

Oh I see! Then it makes sense! Hope now it's clearer!

Am I the only one who enjoyed every ep thus far aside from the fact I fast-forwarded every Song Han x AnSu scene?? Like aside from this painfully boring and SE foreshadowed couple I have enjoyed the rest of the plotline all the same??
Some of you are just being overly frustrated by watching our leads struggle in the latest eps while the villains take on the stage briefly...But this is honestly a necessary groundwork that at some point would have to happen for the plot to move with no evident plot holes and to finally prepare us for the interesting parts of the final arc...Also, I believe that the majority of the latest negative comments come from the influence everyone has on each other...

Finally had some time to catch up with the latest eps...And on ep28 everyone finally had a glimpse of Song Han's psycho behavior...He the harmless young innocent bro can fight as lethaly as an assassin and can be as cruel as breaking someone's leg even when the other party has surrendered...I am glad Song Mo witnessed that and I hope it will alert him enough!!
Btw breaking bones back then was no child's play since medical treatments were not advanced...This could leave the poor guy invalid for the rest of his life with no chance of becoming a military officer ever...Basically, get his whole career ruined for life!! It just shows how cruel and heartless Song Han truly is...(not that he hadn't shown his cruel side already previously lol)

Btw currently watching the Song siblings duel and Song Mo better know what he is doing or I am whooping his ass!! Why would he give in to a clear provocation like this?? Remember you have Dou Zhao now you are not alone!!

This has always been a thing for cdrama platforms! Cause unlike you and some others majority are willing to pay for the express package to see the ending and the rest of the series as soon as possible. No one forces you to buy the express tho! You can keep watching the 2-1 ep release they will keep posting for the 5 eps^^ And believe me when I say this is the BEST strategy for these platforms to make extra cash out of it, otherwise, they wouldn't have kept the express option for long...Plus Blossom is doing super well on ratings either way...

Probably by Sunday...

I see...Thank you! Hopefully, the scriptwriter knows what they are doing and this is just for drama effect and doesn't ruin the ending...I can't take another SE plus it really would ruin the whole message of the drama since this is about rebirth and second chances...Our leads have suffered enough for 2 lifetimes!

You're welcome ><

I don't think they went all the way? At least it didn't give me that impression >< But in this ep it was made clear! And i think the dialogue makes more sense that way too...but hm...i guess we can't be 100% unless the cast speaks on it ><

Oh I would also like to see him again! Our lil cutie ><

Possible...But that could also have been a fake plot his father made up to punish him...He wanted to remove him as heir so that served the purpose...

I believe it's the exact reason that we don't have 40 eps that makes this drama so likable! Every ep is fully packed with no filler scenes which can be boring!! So if they had 40 eps the quality might have gone down instead of up...But I do agree that it's very rare for a cdrama to be able to hold our attention fully up to 27 eps! The scriptwriter and director deserve a big applause!!
Personally, I have high hopes for a HE since the og novel ending is a happy one and all of the director's past works had HE! Plus the main couple in an interview mentioned the last ep's scenes with them and their kid!!
Ji yong...It was pretty obv along the way from the little signs here and there that his feelings exceeded those of childhood friends/cousins...He was developing a crush on her...But I also hope he doesn't end up turning evil...

Btw I was watching edits from Weibo earlier and Wu Shan's treatment scene by Dou Zhao seems to have helped the actor Quan Yilun gain attention for his physic ><
But personally what that scene reminded me of was taking layers off an onion lmaoo Bro had so much clothes on TT
