8 to 8.5 is exactly where it's supposed to be. A bit rushed towards the end, the villains got taken care of too easily (considering how long they've been in this business for) and for the final villain...the answer to the question "why did bro do that?" would be "well...it's the last episode, so...yeah."
Overall, it was okay. I enjoyed it, it was mostly chill and I enjoyed the chemistry between the leads.
The Qin family main buisness is medicine trading. It wasn't explained well in the drama, but it was in the novel.…
You misunderstood, I mean, tons of medicine for treating external injuries in particular because of what Qin An likes to do...to those who were abducted
EP9: My guess is that Yang Yi Niang (or Mrs. Yang...?) endured for all these years because her daughter was being held captive. When that guy + Eighth Yi-Niang left that house, she straight-up told Mrs Yang that her daughter was dead all along and Mrs Yang wasted all these years for nothing, thus, Mrs Yang lost her will to live and jumped down the well.
This would explain why she off-ed herself, as well as the clear signs of child birth from her bone structure yet the absence of her child in the mansion. The child (not belonging to Qin bloodline) is the only thing she cared about in her life...
Edit: never mind, this whole thing was revealed in the last 6 mins of ep 9...I guessed correctly tho
EP 5: Yeah can we take a moment to appreciate how absolutely cooked 宋国公 (Duke Song) is after this case, like he pissed off the emperor by knowingly sending his daughter (previously pregnant) for marriage, this is lowkey a death-penalty offense...
EP5: am I the only one who's still lowkey confused as to why the big bro admitted something he didn't do? "To protect her" sounds like a flimsy reason.
ep28: If you lose against that guy, you die immediately; if you lose against the guy, you indirectly prove that the current emperor is an idiot for being superstitious and executing an innocent woman...
She literally cannot win lmao.
Edit: Nvm I can't laugh anymore after finishing ep 28
Episode 27: Watching 'The Glory' (well, the first few episodes) then watching the same thing happen in The Double just hit me with an extreme sense of Déjà vu lmao
(tbf, it's the same author (QSCK), so...understandable.)
Serious question: What I don't understand is why she never felt the need to get some sort of hidden weapon or any form of self-defense mechanism. She knows she can't fight AND she will constantly be in danger, why didn't she at least, like, ask Duke Su for that?
Either learn a little bit of martial arts (the guy for that is easily within her reach on a daily basis) or get hidden weapons (the guy for that is ALSO easily reachable) to make up for the lack of martial arts.
Quick wits can only get you so far in dire situations no? She is practically cooked if she's against someone out to kill her and Duke Su is not nearby?
Guys, at this point, I've been waiting for this drama for over a year. I really hope we will all like it and it…
Ngl, I waited so long for this that I straight-up went ahead and read the novel (simplified chinese ver. for the OG sauce). It was pretty good I'd say. If you're impatient, just read the book...it's gonna (arguably) be better than the show anyways, taking some of the leaks into consideration, lol.
Overall, it was okay. I enjoyed it, it was mostly chill and I enjoyed the chemistry between the leads.
why is there so much medicine for treating external injuries in this mansion?

What I got: An entire town worth of bodies beneath the buried surface
This is reaching like, Riverside Code at Qingming Festival levels of darkness, holy sh-
Mate you can literally see the Elden Ring boss room fog wall outside, maybe bring a weapon or two before going in...
"The head of a body can give you lots of information and tell you lots of things." (the opposite is also true if the head is missing)
She literally cannot win lmao.
