they away you analyzed and broke that down 👏🏼 you didn’t just watch this drama, you examined it with a magnifying glass. I appreciate the way you viewed it as a sophisticated audience. Maybe I have watched too many dramas and binged at an overwhelming rate. You have reminded me to take a step back and enjoy each step of the journey with the characters, especially these lengthier and more serious dramas. TY for this enlightening post that I can tell took some time and effort to construct 🤗

Shenyi annoyed me and now here’s her brother to now annoy me some more. beyond these two, everyone else has been so amazing and the story phenomenal! FL is strong without being super arrogant. She isn’t just brain, she has a big heart as well. I heard this is amazing and S2 doesn’t keep up. The chem that OTP has built so far has been so sweet and I can’t wait to see FL realize her love for ML. 😍 I hope this unnecessary Liu Lang character doesn’t mess it up 🤦🏻‍♀️

her friend zoning him at ep 30, I can tell the 24 eps in the next season will be painful 😅🫣🥴

omg this stupid girl. she has no right telling someone, especially her nasty ex, about Mudan personal life!! I am so annoyed at this girl and the worst part is I know she be forgiven because she isn’t a “villain” and just a doomy and Mudan is too kind hearted. **Shenyi should just die. done. 😩

omg. same. I am so afraid Shenyi will bring trouble for Mudan. I am almost at a point where I want her to disappear but I know Mudan will feel responsible and guilty. Girl just needs to listen to her friends with a brain!

I understand Shenyi’s character. She is broken and has very little self-confidence. She doesn’t feel needed and doesn’t have the ability to stand on her own yet is ashamed that FL is leading her and thinks she can’t be relied on like Fu for her strength and Lv for her medical knowledge. With all this, she is definitely going to cause trouble. I hope she doesn’t bring that trouble to FL 😭

that one gal that she rescued from her husband (Shengyi) comes off as a toxic friend at times. she is constantly whispering negativity or ill advice. she almost seems like a red flag boyfriend in some scenes when Mudan is getting close to Lv Gengchun.

ep 15/16 - I love ML’s aunt!!

also. no worries 😆 our ML is more than meets the eye

ep 15 - I was fixated on the meat burning that I couldn’t focus on their conversation 🤣 ofc, she says the meat is burnt 😂

first time ever I’m saying this (as I’m usually only into romances), Mudan needs no man!! 😝 😂

I’m talking about towards the end when he did believe her. In any event, I worked it out thanks to another response 😉

I think ppl were just so angry at the uncle for being so cunning. Choi Gwi Hwa played villain so well 🔪 I was praying uncle would trip and fall on his smug face! He played fool in front of ppl that it was hard knowing the truth as an audience

Yup. You are correct. I went back to ep 5 as well when she is told about the health checkup and she has a moment of confusion noting the uncle’s name and then pondering isn’t it the brother to succeeded the throne. She even noted it’s very confusing. Thanks for pointing that out!

Am I missing something…she started with noting that she shouldn’t change history, but she ofc did by putting out all these “future” recipes and ingredient usage. Then she made a major change by altering the king’s temperament. She even recognized this and actively told him to not become a tyrant. Yetttt, she won’t reveal the future that she knows that might enlighten him to think differently. Why not tell him outright how he is known in history and how there is a rebellion? Or express openly her suspicion of the uncle? is there an explanation that someone has that can tie up this plot hole?

why is it so badly dubbed 😭 it’s like the old kung fu movies with overacted dubbing 😂

the way the people in the envoy are speaking…Chinese…are they speaking Chinese…if it they are, it feels so exaggerated and weird. They sound so cartoonish and their acting even comes off as bad. idk. it’s driving me bonkers.

horanghae 😂

Hey trust me, I love my romance and that’s what I primarily watch. That’s why I prefer no romance in these action/thriller heavy dramas because they don’t do the romance justice and it becomes misplaced instead. That’s great you like romance in ALLLL your dramas, but let the “minority” have their right to speak as well and you keep scrolling to talk to your majority instead of undermining and trying to ridicule the views of the “minority”

exactly, they could have left it out. it didn’t add anything to the story. he didn’t need the girl to give him motive and drive. they already established he was altruistic by giving up the life of leisure and what brought him true happiness is when he became a cop and could help people. they had him turn into a silly puppy whenever they insert those romantic moments and the music was so off putting like the loop where his love interest is invited to the wedding. There were scenes that totally awkwardly shifted tone due to romance inserts like the aftermath of the cafe smoke bomb scene. My hubby likes legit thriller and sci-fi dramas (but he sticks to Hollywood) and I have watched a few jdramas and kdramas with him. I thought I finally had a cdrama I could watch with him but I knew he would make fun of those scenes. That was pretty telling to me about how those romantic scenes would be perceived. The rest of the drama was good, but we can discuss what we didn’t like as well.
