QAS

I was bored with episode 20 and 21. Aunty Xiao is getting too much dialog and screen time. Grandma should send her to the temple for a vacation. Besides Yu Qi and Long Dan, I like to watch Mr Du with Mask. Why is he wearing the mask?

I like Long Dan the most of all the male supporting characters (... good and bad). He takes the initiative, and is skilled.

I check the dramawiki site for production dates and the number of directors and writers credited to the drama.

Probably episode 40ish, knowing how these writers like to stretch the drama wrapup. 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for the big reveal on Zhu, Evil Spwan Princess and Mommie Dearest Eldest Princess. I hope the writers incorporate this into the drama. They deserve their punishments, and viewers deserve satisfaction. 😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣 I stopped watching the slow crawl Kdramas.

I didn't watch the last two episodes. Brother-in-law, Mother-in-law, Qing showed up out of the blue with some hidden agenda. I don't really know why the troupe set out for that town. They got involved in a sex trafficking ring. Why is Imperial Magistrate Zhen travelling to that town? What next? 🙄🙄🙄

Dramawiki credits five or six writers.

Or the writing team...

I must have missed that scene. I see comments about their relationship, but I don't recall interaction between them.

He has twelve dramas on TBA status. He's getting a lot of work.

That leaf was silly, but they both looked dry.

Like Mother! Like Son! He learnt his devious ways from her.

He's acting suspiciously. The Qing woman is giving him side glances too.

Writer #2 has taken over.

It looks like Writer #2 or #3 took over the writing assignment.

His hands gave it away immediately. "I thought that's a man's hand", when the camera did a closeup of the hands. I guess that was intentional for the viewer's benefit.

I get confused with Jiang Si's flashbacks/past life. Was she married to Ji Chong Yi, and also to Yu Qi? She was having deja vu visions about her family members' deaths and Ji Chong Yi amd Princess, but she was also having visions of happy days with Yu Qi in the Southland. How are the two events connected?

During the trial, she came across as strong, contradicting Ji Chongli's fake testimony. Then she looked indecisive when she was asked if she was there during the fire.

Dramawiki lists the following screenwriters on Si Jin:

Screenwriter: Li Wen Ting, Cai Cai, Liu Jia Si, Wang Ke, Dong Fang Chen, Wang Xiang (王翔)

This doesn't sound optimistic for the plot. Too many cooks...
