The ML and FL both switched phones by mistake. He had hers and she had his after she ran back up to get hers because she forgot it rushing out to meet her gf to go to an event.
He went in her room to see if she placed a glass of water near her bed because she had read Guide to Better Luck in Love and they said that was one of the things to do.
She came in and ask him why he was in her room and he said he was looking for the cup. He leaves picking up the phone on her desk while she picks up the phone on her nightstand.
Both of there phones look alike and they were face down.
Now, both of there phones rang and it was each of there besties calling them. The ML had the picture of her when she was little as his screensaver on his phone.
When the phone call ends that screensaver appears. So if she had his phone how could she not know that was her and ask him why is her childhood picture as his screensaver?
After watching TBOY and SSOFV, I guess I was looking for more martial arts but so far I’m finding the storyline to be a bit messy as well as the music being a bit loud which drowns out the actors. I find the FL voice to be annoying like she has a mouth full of marbles. I’m really watching this because of LHY. But only on episode 10 so let see how it goes.
We have now reached the finale. Are you ready to see how this all ends. Well, here we go.
Shen Miao tells Pei that she wants to go to the temple at Noon tomorrow so they can receive a blessing to start over again as a couple.
As they were sleeping Pei has a nightmare and Shen Mial soothes him back to sleep (which remember when he was blind, he said he had good hearing, well that goes in to affect now) only for her to leave the bed and meet Song outside after throwing a pebble at the window.
They devise the plan for meeting again at Noon. Shen Miao is starting to have doubts and Song again starts telling her does she want to see her family annihilated. So, she agrees to it.
Before they leave Pei tells her he knows they still have a lot of things left unsaid, but he hopes now they can have a new beginning. He is willing to give her the country as her dowry if that would make her happy just so long as they are together.
Going to the temple Pei keeps telling her she seems distracted. They reach the temple, and Shen Miao starts to confess that it is a trap. But Pei opens the doors to see Song standing there. He told him he knew he was there. Shen Miao tells him if he knew it was a trap why did he agree to go. To which he said if I didn't come would you ever believe me?
Song attacks but of course Pei has his "bendable sword" and no backup because he didn't take his guard with him due to Shen Miao's request. Song's assassins bring out the chains and take his arms and his legs and slam him to the ground back and front. Until Shen Miao cannot stand it anymore because Song is ready to kill him and threatens to end her life. Song agrees to let Pei go and takes Shen Miao away.
Shen Miao is at Song's residence, and she ask him if Pei is alright. He says his guard has him and he is fine. She asks where her brother is, and he says after you eat, he will be here. Enter her brother. She tells Song that as she told him before they are nothing, but friends and it will remain that way.
Fast forward A YEAR!!!!!
Pei has now left the court. He is no longer regent but a lord at the city Shen Miao and him lived when they were married. Shen Miao is with her family and son. She isn't happy because she hears the news that Pei has been given an edict that he will marry and have 2 concubines. She spills her drink and goes to her room and her maid ask her if she ok. Of course, she says she is. She tells her she is going to see her brother.
And guess what is there, you got it the freakin' BIRD!!! Her brother is playing with the bird and asking why it isn't speaking then it says, "Might be annihilated. Might be annihilated. Might be annihilated. Once it's done, we might lose control. The Song family might be annihilated." Shen Miao is stunned and ask the bird what he said, "Pei you will obtain neither the country nor Shen Maio. Official Pei what will we do with the Shen family when the Qin family falls? The Shen family might be annihilated." Shen Miao FINALLY realizes what Pei was talking about when he said "annihilated."
Pieces start falling into place and she ask her brother who kidnapped him, and he ask her what she is talking about. He said Song came and got him and said they would be away for a few days and then he would meet up with his dad and mom. She berates her brother for not telling her sooner and he said he thought Song had told her.
Shen Miao then starts thinking about all the things Song said: He told her that he probably wanted her to stay at his residence so that he could get rid of the Shen family, the temple meeting and killing him because she wanted her brother back, when he told her, her brother would be back after she finished eating, and finally she realized the only person who was close enough to get the necklace and make a duplicate that Xiao wore was...you guess it...Song!
Song did all this because THE BIRD had flown back and repeated the meeting that Pei and his guard had. Pei realized that they could lose control and the Song family would be annihilated. He did all of this agree to be his ally because of how he threaten the Song family. So, he started training the bird to change what he said about the Song family to the Shen family. Then started making Pei the bad guy.
At last Shen Miao and Song have it out. She told him that he was careful in his scheme always making Pei look like the bad guy and she fell for it every time. She asks Song if she ever knew him all these years. Song says that if Pei would not have been so cruel, he would have remained a businessman and not fought and schemed to be the Prime Minister. He still kept telling her did she really feel safe with Pei. He told her since she left the Song family and wrote the divorce letter he was working with Pei. He was his subordinate helping him to get the throne. Until he heard the conversation that Pei and his bodyguard had that is when he realized that Pei and the Empress would not allow the Song family to grow. He goes on to say more disparaging comments about Pei but he did say that he would not allow anyone to touch the Shen family. Only the Song family would be sacrificed, and he was not going to allow that. He was backed into a corner and planned everything.
Shen Miao understands all the discord and misunderstanding between them was sown by Song. She said she thought everything was done by Pei. But she never expected everything to be done by Song.
The one smart thing Shen Miao said: "she said I'm not smart at all. If I'm not stupid I wouldn't have been fooled by a bird until I'm confused by the truth." (Ya think!)
But Song did have a good comeback for her: "You are wrong. My schemes are not flawless. If you see clearly, you will notice the flaws. Whether it's' me or Pei, you never really trusted either one of us. When something goes wrong, you will side with the other person and doubt one of us. The selfish person is actually you." Are we not clapping for Song right now? Justified smackdown on her!
After that she thinks about Pei, and just cries because she realizes everything through the years that she did to him. At the temple, he didn't say anything because he knew the truth and it was a trap. He was willing to give up country, position of the court just for love.
Shen Miao tells her family everything about what Song has done. They are devastated and upset that they did not trust him.
Pei comes back to town because he is getting his new concubines. Song now has the position that he wanted which was Prime Minister. The Majesty ask him if he now happy to have this position while giving up the woman he like. He said as long as she is happy, he has no regrets.
Finally, after all of the "fake" trying to find a concubine, Shen Miao burst into the room only to find Pei alone. He said she is finally there. The next day they have their wedding. The Ninth Princess gives up her title and is set to marry Pei's bodyguard. The maid has decided that she wants both men because she can't choose.
So, that is it for this lame drama. The BIRD is the one that ran this drama by what it said. So sad. Again, my hopes for this drama were high seeing who the MLs were and the FL. But I think just take it with a grain of salt and watch it when you really have nothing else to do. To invest in 30 episodes is way too long.
Oh my goodness not the bird again!Shen Miao has got to be one of the most stupid FLs I have come across in c-drama…
When I saw him ask for that stupid bird. I literally threw my hands in the air and said WTF! Are you kidding me? Now he going to give the bird back to her, so it says that. And she isn't smart enough to realize it is coming from SONG!!!! Hello...what an idiot. I can't stand her. I wish they both would just leave her, and she just lives alone. Pei gets the son. What a waste.
And here we are at episode 27 and 28...two more to go. I'm so done you don't even know! But at this point...hey, I have to finish.
So, we left off that everyone was headed in their own carriages to the capital. Pei now can see and so his two bodyguards know and devise a plan to get Pei into the carriage with Shen Miao. What might that be? Why of course to lose the horse. Pei, Shen Miao and Song all are in the carriage to which Song is not liking. But Pei then has his men tell them the wrong way and go into a small town where the Ninth Princess is.
The Ninth Princess sees Shen Miao and says, "You are alive. It's been two years." Shen Miao and the Ninth Princess catch up with her telling Shen that she is to go to a border town to marry the prince for peace. Shen Miao ask doesn't she love Pei's closest bodyguard. Which she says she does but she doesn't know how to get him to admit he loves her. But the Ninth Princess has a plan to perform a play which ONLY Shen Miao can do because no other actors have the caliber to do the play.
Now, Shen Miao still believes that Pei is blind but (and we knew this had to happen) during the play she keeps staring at Pei until she trips and Pei "flies" across the room and catches her on the stage. She glares at him and ask how long he could see. A fight ensues on the stage and the Ninth Princess says take it backstage. Pei asks Shen Miao if he hadn't been with her first would she be with Song. She said yes. He asks her did she ever at any time love him. She said at one time but not now do to all of his lying and scheming. Pei was done and walked out.
They are now headed again to the capital because they got thrown out of the place they were staying because the two guards were fighting over the maid.
Pei calls Shen Miao out of her carriage and says he knows he lied about his eyesight recovering but that doesn't change the fact that she was missing for TWO YEARS with Song. He told her he is not holding her accountable, but he will not be separated from his son, and he no longer wants him calling him "grand uncle" when he is father. The agree to three months at his place.
They go to Pei's residence and Song is ticked. He doesn't want her to go but she tells Pei she needs a moment with Song. At this time, her father throws a stone at Shen Miao, and they go to Song's place and do a debrief. Of course, all blame is placed on Pei. Her brother has been kidnapped and they are saying Pei did it. Really? After he had men planted there to protect the family? She seriously is falling for Song's load of crap and forgetting what Pei told her. The dad and the aunt are saying Pei is the bad guy here and he isn't. She said that she gave Pei the necklace and he could have taken the money and he didn't to which they show "another" necklace the same as the one Xiao is wearing which was Pei's from Shen Miao.
As they are talking Song looks out and sees an assassin and gets in the way of her father and takes the arrow. (Roll eyes, complete set up by Song WE know). So, Shen Miao is running over trying to make sure he is alright. Her dad and aunt stay at Song's place and Pei is none the wiser. But Song's bodyguard comes back and has a token that only Pei's guards carry which was on the assassin who tried to kill her father. She now believes that Pei is out to kill her family. Her and Song are going to devise their own plan to get rid of Pei once and for all.
Shen Miao tells Song that she is going to stay at Pei's place to get answers as to where he is hiding her brother. She goes back and Xiao is sitting in the study. She pulls out the necklace that was Pei's and compares it to the one Song gave her and said it was a match except for the crack. Duh! And now she believes that Pei is trying to scheme against her family again.
The storyline in these 2 episodes revolved around Shen Miao's maid and the two guards that like her. Wasted space.
Pei and Song after two years finally went back to court and lo and behold the Majesty appeared. Did he do nothing in those two years while Pei and Song were gone? Well, Pei does make it happen that his bodyguard and the Ninth Princess will get together because he took his bodyguard before the Majesty and told him another way, they could satisfy the border town without sacrificing her. Pei's bodyguard went to see the Ninth Princess and I believe love will prevail here. But of course, Song was telling his people not to let Shen Miao know about the Ninth Princess problem because she would be upset. Now I guess he is somehow going to take the credit if he hears the two are together.
You know it is coming.... come on. You know where I'm going. You all feel it...THE BIRD!!!! Yes, that freaking bird is back. So, Song tells his bodyguard to bring the bird to him because he is bored. He told him he was injured so he should rest...please, that was set, the assassin knew where to aim so he was fine. Guess what he is telling the bird..."annihilate the Shen family." Ok, enough already! She is wholeheartedly already believed the bird the first time regarding her family and her life so we know if she hears this from the bird again...she will be a believer for sure. I just can't!
If she thinks about where she should be placing her anger and her rage, it should be towards Song, not Pei. Song is the villain here. When he is talking to the bird, he is saying I will have power. And the whole necklace, one has a crack (the original) and one doesn't. What opportunity would he have to do it? She was gone for TWO YEARS. He could have depleted all of the money they had by now. He could have killed her family by now. Honestly, she is the most frustrating woman.
Oh, and the family was finally leaving the border because they heard that Shen Miao was almost killed. Hello...she was supposed to be dead for TWO YEARS. The news your way is a little late.
I mean I love the two male leads...but the female lead is just so working my nerves until I can stand her pure stupidity. A bird...a bird...such a sad piece of writing. I can't say it enough that I had such high hopes for this drama. Down the tubes big time.
OMG!!! My head is spinning from episode 12. WTH, the husband...wow! And the aide is right behind him with the crazy. I want to know what the bestie that lives with them knows. She is selling off her restaurant and getting out of there. What is up?
Ok, here we go...episodes 25 and 26 only 4 more episodes left...thank the Lord.
We left off with Song taking Shen Miao, her son and the maid all to an "undisclosed location" but is anything really undisclosed? You guess it, it isn't. Pei is ticked off that Song took his "ex-wife" and son, so he goes to Song's restaurant and has all his military at the place saying he wants to see Song.
The new girl that Song hired is playing the zither for like the umpteenth time. Until Pei says he is waiting no longer. He tells his one guard that he knows the location (get this) based off how long it took her to play the zither and he then calculated how long it would take Song to get there. Say what? Ok Mr. Clairvoyant. How about you didn't see all the drama you would cause lying all the time. Ok, ok, I digressed.
Song is then told by the new girl that Pei waited a long time, but he is gone. Song figures out that Pei knows where Shen Miao and his son are. Meanwhile Pei and team are scouring the temple. Now, Pei remember, he is blind. How is it that he is roaming the temple looking for Shen Miao and her son with no one with him? Lo and behold Shen Miao sees him coming (cane taps helped) and she tries to leave only to fall and Xiao yell. Pei hears and tells her to stop. He says more words of "please don't go...blah, blah, blah."
Shen Miao takes her son back to her room and tells him to stay there while she goes to find the maid. She comes across Pei kneeling in front of the temple talking to the monk and saying he doesn't want anything anymore. He only wants Shen Miao to be happy because he is letting her go. Here we go again...he is letting her go? Yeah right!
One of the monks calls her name and she tells him to be quiet only to take off running with Pei in hot pursuit. Now, if she is trying to get away then why are you at the mountain? Why didn't you go and get Xiao, the maid and just take off? No, she takes the mountain trail. But Pei keeps calling her name and she tells him to just leave her alone. Then the moment...the lightning strikes the lone tree at the top of the mountain, and it comes crashing down on Pei.
Shen Miao runs over pulling the tree off of Pia. He tells her he knew she cared and passed out. She is crying profusely and who comes now...his guard. Ok, who would even think to go to the mountain and find these two? So, he hoists Pei on his back, and they go back to his room.
Now after being hit by the tree, he now is able to see images, blurry of course but he can see. Shen Miao is taking care of him. He finally after 25 episodes (2 years) he can at last tell her his side of the story. But do you think he really will...nope! He gives her the rundown on why he did things to protect her, his son and even her family only for her to come back at him and ask..."did you say you were going to annihilate my family?" Images of the bird came in my head when he said he was going to annihilate the Shen family. Oh, she is still believing that stupid bird! To which he says yes! Not letting him explain what he meant by that. Well, all the cards are off the table now. She heard that and rants at him and just keeps going on until she storms out.
Here comes Song with his antagonistic ways to get Shen Miao all riled up again about Pei's character. Pei shares with Shen Miao a picture of her family and the letters that her family sent because he had guards protecting them all this time. He tells her he will help her get them back only for her to say that her and Song have their own plan.
They all then head to the capital with Pei taking his own carriage. Song and Shen Miao together and Xiao and the maid in another. They finally make it to a place to rest with Pei really using his blindness to get Shen Miao to help him. This makes Song mad, and he is trying to find a way to bring Shen Miao closer to him.
Meanwhile the emperor is MIA. He is chilling somewhere we don't know because the Ninth princess went to see him. Only to find out that her hand has been asked in marriage by the prince where Shen Miao's family is at.
Basically, there was not much action. Shen Miao is really on my nerves because she is just so wishy washy. Her and the maid did have a discussion because she is trying to figure out which guard, she likes better because they both have certain characteristics that she likes. Which made Shen Miao ask her how Pei was the 2 years she was with him. She told her again that everything may not appears as she sees it. Pei is a good person and people during the years had tried to kill him. She asks him how he got blind, and she told him that it was during the wedding, and he didn't get treated fast enough so it is uncurable. Which makes her feel guilty and she wants the monk to heal him.
Meanwhile Pei does see the monk who knows that Pei can see. Pei is going to continue to be this way because he wants to win Shen Mial back. Sorry, but this is going to make her mad again because he is scheming which she hates.
Now we have to wrap this up in 4 episodes, so we do know that Pei has his sight, she tries to kill him again and looks for a new wife/concubine.
I cannot say again how disappointed I am in this drama that had such potential.
Next update coming tomorrow....and can only image.
Yes, looking at the preview for episode 13....I called it. I knew that the EK's ex-boyfriend was going to dish out some information to DB. I can't wait. This is going to be good..
Red balloon, red balloon...such craziness. Everyone is "dipping." Let the EK the puppet master keep pulling the strings for all because everything is going to hit the fan, sooner rather than later....

He went in her room to see if she placed a glass of water near her bed because she had read Guide to Better Luck in Love and they said that was one of the things to do.
She came in and ask him why he was in her room and he said he was looking for the cup. He leaves picking up the phone on her desk while she picks up

Enter her brother. She tells Song that as she told him before they are nothing, but friends and it will remain that way.
Fast forward A YEAR!!!!!
Pei has now left the court. He is no longer regent but a lord at the city Shen Miao and him lived when they were married. Shen Miao is with her family and son. She isn't happy because she hears the news that Pei has been given an edict that he will marry and have 2 concubines. She spills her drink and goes to her room and her maid ask her if she ok. Of course, she says she is. She tells her she is going to see her brother.
And guess what is there, you got it the freakin' BIRD!!! Her brother is playing with the bird and asking why it isn't speaking then it says, "Might be annihilated. Might be annihilated. Might be annihilated. Once it's done, we might lose control. The Song family might be annihilated." Shen Miao is stunned and ask the bird what he said, "Pei you will obtain neither the country nor Shen Maio. Official Pei what will we do with the Shen family when the Qin family falls? The Shen family might be annihilated." Shen Miao FINALLY realizes what Pei was talking about when he said "annihilated."
Pieces start falling into place and she ask her brother who kidnapped him, and he ask her what she is talking about. He said Song came and got him and said they would be away for a few days and then he would meet up with his dad and mom. She berates her brother for not telling her sooner and he said he thought Song had told her.

He did all of this agree to be his ally because of how he threaten the Song family. So, he started training the bird to change what he said about the Song family to the Shen family. Then started making Pei the bad
guy.
At last Shen Miao and Song have it out. She told him that he was careful in his scheme always making Pei look like the bad guy and she fell for it every time. She asks Song if she ever knew him all these years. Song says that if Pei would not have been so cruel, he would have remained a businessman and not fought and schemed to be the Prime Minister. He still kept telling her did she really feel safe with Pei. He told her since she left the Song family and wrote the divorce letter he was working with Pei. He was his subordinate helping him to get the throne. Until he heard the conversation that Pei and his bodyguard had that is when he realized that Pei and the Empress would not allow the Song family to grow.

Shen Miao tells her family everything about what Song has done. They are devastated and upset that they did not trust him.
Pei comes back to town because he is getting his new concubines. Song now has the position that he wanted which was Prime Minister. The Majesty ask him if he now happy to have this position while giving up the woman he like. He said as long as she is happy, he has no regrets.
Finally, after all of the "fake" trying to find a concubine, Shen Miao burst into the room only to find Pei alone. He said she is finally there. The next day they have their wedding. The Ninth Princess gives up her title and is set to marry Pei's bodyguard. The maid has decided that she wants both men because she can't choose.
So, that is it for this lame drama. The BIRD is the one that ran this drama by what it said. So sad. Again, my hopes for this drama were high seeing who the MLs were and the FL. But I think just take it with a grain of salt and watch it when you really have nothing else to do. To invest in 30 episodes is way too long.

You know it is coming.... come on. You know where I'm going. You all feel it...THE BIRD!!!! Yes, that freaking bird is back. So, Song tells his bodyguard to bring the bird to him because he is bored. He told him he was injured so he should rest...please, that was set, the assassin knew where to aim so he was fine. Guess what he is telling the bird..."annihilate the Shen family." Ok, enough already! She is wholeheartedly already believed the bird the first time regarding her family and her life so we know if she hears this from the bird again...she will be a believer for sure. I just can't!
If she thinks about where she should be placing her anger and her rage, it should be towards Song, not Pei. Song is the villain here. When he is talking to the bird, he is saying I will have power. And the whole necklace, one has a crack (the original) and one doesn't. What opportunity would he have to do it? She was gone for TWO YEARS. He could have depleted all of the money they had by now. He could have killed her family by now. Honestly, she is the most frustrating woman.
Oh, and the family was finally leaving the border because they heard that Shen Miao was almost killed. Hello...she was supposed to be dead for TWO YEARS. The news your way is a little late.
I mean I love the two male leads...but the female lead is just so working my nerves until I can stand her pure stupidity. A bird...a bird...such a sad piece of writing. I can't say it enough that I had such high hopes for this drama. Down the tubes big time.
We left off with Song taking Shen Miao, her son and the maid all to an "undisclosed location" but is anything really undisclosed? You guess it, it isn't. Pei is ticked off that Song took his "ex-wife" and son, so he goes to Song's restaurant and has all his military at the place saying he wants to see Song.
The new girl that Song hired is playing the zither for like the umpteenth time. Until Pei says he is waiting no longer. He tells his one guard that he knows the location (get this) based off how long it took her to play the zither and he then calculated how long it would take Song to get there. Say what? Ok Mr. Clairvoyant. How about you didn't see all the drama you would cause lying all the time. Ok, ok, I digressed.
Song is then told by the new girl that Pei waited a long time, but he is gone. Song figures out that Pei knows where Shen Miao and his son are. Meanwhile Pei and team are scouring the temple. Now, Pei remember, he is blind. How is it that he is roaming the temple looking for Shen Miao and her son with no one with him? Lo and behold Shen Miao sees him coming (cane taps helped) and she tries to leave only to fall and Xiao yell. Pei hears and tells her to stop. He says more words of "please don't go...blah, blah, blah."
Shen Miao takes her son back to her room and tells him to stay there while she goes to find the maid. She comes across Pei kneeling in front of the temple talking to the monk and saying he doesn't want anything anymore. He only wants Shen Miao to be happy because he is letting her go. Here we go again...he is letting her go? Yeah right!
One of the monks calls her name and she tells him to be quiet only to take off running with Pei in hot pursuit. Now, if she is trying to get away then why are you at the mountain? Why didn't you go and get Xiao, the maid and just take off? No, she takes the mountain trail. But Pei keeps calling her name and she tells him to just leave her alone. Then the moment...the lightning strikes the lone tree at the top of the mountain, and it comes crashing down on Pei.
Shen Miao runs over pulling the tree off of Pia. He tells her he knew she cared and passed out. She is crying profusely and who comes now...his guard. Ok, who would even think to go to the mountain and find these two? So, he hoists Pei on his back, and they go back to his room.
Now after being hit by the tree, he now is able to see images, blurry of course but he can see. Shen Miao is taking care of him. He finally after 25 episodes (2 years) he can at last tell her his side of the story. But do you think he really will...nope! He gives her the rundown on why he did things to protect her, his son and even her family only for her to come back at him and ask..."did you say you were going to annihilate my family?" Images of the bird came in my head when he said he was going to annihilate the Shen family. Oh, she is still believing that stupid bird! To which he says yes! Not letting him explain what he meant by that. Well, all the cards are off the table now. She heard that and rants at him and just keeps going on until she storms out.
Here comes Song with his antagonistic ways to get Shen Miao all riled up again about Pei's character. Pei shares with Shen Miao a picture of her family and the letters that her family sent because he had guards protecting them all this time. He tells her he will help her get them back only for her to say that her and Song have their own plan.
They all then head to the capital with Pei taking his own carriage. Song and Shen Miao together and Xiao and the maid in another. They finally make it to a place to rest with Pei really using his blindness to get Shen Miao to help him. This makes Song mad, and he is trying to find a way to bring Shen Miao closer to him.
Meanwhile the emperor is MIA. He is chilling somewhere we don't know because the Ninth princess went to see him. Only to find out that her hand has been asked in marriage by the prince where Shen Miao's family is at.
Basically, there was not much action. Shen Miao is really on my nerves because she is just so wishy washy. Her and the maid did have a discussion because she is trying to figure out which guard, she likes better because they both have certain characteristics that she likes. Which made Shen Miao ask her how Pei was the 2 years she was with him. She told her again that everything may not appears as she sees it. Pei is a good person and people during the years had tried to kill him. She asks him how he got blind, and she told him that it was during the wedding, and he didn't get treated fast enough so it is uncurable. Which makes her feel guilty and she wants the monk to heal him.
Meanwhile Pei does see the monk who knows that Pei can see. Pei is going to continue to be this way because he wants to win Shen Mial back. Sorry, but this is going to make her mad again because he is scheming which she hates.
Now we have to wrap this up in 4 episodes, so we do know that Pei has his sight, she tries to kill him again and looks for a new wife/concubine.
I cannot say again how disappointed I am in this drama that had such potential.
Next update coming tomorrow....and can only image.
