Yes! I was anticipating the reunion. The wife and children were not warm toward Batong while he was growing up. If they really cared about the dog, they should have shown him the professor's grave, for closure. The son and wife could have found an apartment that takes dogs in Beijing. The dog was an inconvenience to them before and after Chen's death. At the end, the wife might have been stunned when she saw Batong dead.

The ending was heartbreaking. I was crying. I knew that Professor Chen would come back for Batong, and take him to Heaven. I found out about the movie last night, and watched the movie. I am sad that Batong was homeless for ten years. The newspaper seller never even took care of the dog all those years. He must have known that Chen had died, and Batong was abandoned, and waiting for his master. It is amazing that Batong survived so long, and got old and was emaciated.

I kept checking because I always Foxy was a girl. 😂😂

Aman and Long Dan should become a couple.

They could have condensed the Jiang clan plotline into ten episodes. Pei and Qiao ladies were unnecessary characters, as well as many servants. I am surprised that the title wasn't Legend of Si Jin, Song of Si Jin, Ballad of Si Jin. LOL

Granny never dreamed her grandson-in-law would be a prince, and an eventual emperor. I hope she has a stroke from the shock. LOL

Especially Aunt Xiao! She thinks she is empress of the Jiang clan.

My apologies to all! Er Nui's breed is Akita. I originally thought it was a Shiba Inu or Jindo.

I watched the movie last night. Hachiko is the name of the Japanese movie and the American movie, but the Dog's name is Batong in the Chinese movie. The lead dog is obviously male. I am guessing that Da Huang was one of the many dogs that portrayed Batong. The end is heart wrenching, but joyful.

For Er Nui's fans, the beautiful dog is credited in Si Jin and Mysterious Lotus Casebook on Dramawiki. The name is Da Huang, and the profession is Actor. Da Huang was one of the dogs playing the lead dog in a C-movie, Hachiko, which is the Chinese version of the Japanese movie, Hachiko, a Dog's Story. I watched the Japanese movie many years ago. I love the profile photo.

If you have IQIYI VIP, you can watch the movie on IQIYI.

Yu Qi's return to the palace was about time. Emperor has been fond of him all these years, but his birth mother hates him. She might have deliberately sabotaged him when he was born. The director should have deleted the entire storyline about the cousin's marriage. It was boring and a waste of two episodes. The woman who encountered Zhen... is she a princess? I think they have a fated destiny. I don't like Jiang Si playing both sides with Zhou and Nawou. Stealing his badge and going to the prison to "kill" Sang Qi was suspicious. Why did Ernui deliver the letter to Sang Qi's grave, which was shallow, by the way. LOL Is that how they bury corpses? Ernui is not Jiang Si's dog.

LOL I have to watch 22 and 23 today. The episodes post after 1AM in my time zone, so I don't get to watch them immediately. I have been ooking forward to that encounter between Emperor and Son.

Me, too! I am starting to zone out some supporting characters. I like watching the leads.

Hello!

Zhang Da Bao as Qing'er
Zhang Xiao Bao (张小宝) as Yu'er

I am irritated by the transitions into the flashbacks. The widescreen bands are DAF. This editor thinks he invented the next best thing since sliced bread.

We know the scene is a flashback, and not in the present time frame.

Palms, next to Culver City! Are you also in SoCal?

Thanks for the info. I knew I had seen her play a "bad" matriarch, but I could not recall the drama.

Hilarious drama ad!

Did Aunt Xiao arrange these marriages It should be a red flag to Grandma when she proposes the Xiao marital alliance.

The dog is my favorite character.
