Repeating and adding to previous post about flirting wordplay between Duke Su and Jiang Li throughout the episodes:
Four instances of them flirting about being a couple: 1) at the bridge, playing the parts and him asking her whether the flower is "steadied." And she said, "Steadied." 2) After she was almost raped, he gave her a whistle and told her "I do not want, before the game has ended, for my Qi (chess piece/wife) to be taken." 3) When she counters his earlier story with a story of her own, about the substitute bride (indirectly telling him of her plan for SYR), he countered back with changing the ending about becoming lovebirds. She said, "Wait and see." 4) In an earlier conversation: She said to him, "I've done the math. I can't repay you." He replied, "Then don't pay me back (meaning, what is mine is yours)." She responded, "Then you'll lose (meaning, I'm going to keep using what is yours)." He said, "I can afford the loss (meaning, what is mine is yours)." She smiled back. This is the second time he is telling her that they are a couple, that he intends to marry her." She understood and smiled EACH time.
Adding: 5) When the Emperor had the conversation with Duke Su about pawns and, specifically, his pawn, JL, Su acknowledged that she was no longer a pawn. At the end of the convo, the emperor gave his tacit approval of the relationship: "Ni de QiZe, ni baohu hao" meaning, Take care of your WIFE. To which, Duke Su smiled softly, as if he had plans....
Umm no. I think Jiang Li has her own long game she’s playing. The trap is set.
I know. I saw that too. But the Duke, the Emperor and JL knew the Crazy Princess would have a trump card. They just didn’t know what. You will see that the Emperor and Duke Su will have a fake quarrel to let the Princess think there’s a fallout, so that she would accept the Duke’s allegiance (when he offers his army to save JL). And then JL would be “threatened” by SYR to marry her, who said that the Emperor had agreed. It is all a master plan in the it Art of War. I believe the Princess will be going down at the end of the episode or the next one.
Wait, you actually accepted the fact that she survived being buried alive without an coffin and continued watching?…
I admire you, truly. My comment was meant as a laugh, nothing more. The moment I saw the hand emerge, I was all Kill Bill without the guns and just went with it. There was no way I was going to place logic in it. Also, it was supposed to be a transmigration story, anyway, which would throw all logic out the door LOL.
Have fun. You're obviously a very analytical drama fan who enjoys the execution side of it. I get it. I like characterization and dialogue and that's mostly where my posts go. I've been reading all your replies and am enjoying them. Cheers.
This drama is without a doubt the best ongoing drama right now, but it is still OVERRATED.The production, acting,…
Wait, you actually accepted the fact that she survived being buried alive without an coffin and continued watching? Wow. Wait, wait, you actually accepted an entire city not telling anyone who she really was AND continue watching? Double wow.
