Yes we have another woman making poor judgment and has the mentality that "I can change him or save him." This…
But that is reality of our life. Some people still choose to be with a jerks because of that kind of bias and false optimism. For me, it make the character of Shou Gu stands out, because she loves Song Mo without losing her brain.
More reason why The Double will forever remain goated in 2024. What nonsense am I watching in this later episode?
I love The Double, but for enjoyment, I prefer Blossom. The Double lies on a questionable ground: how could you become a perfect replacement for a stranger you just meet? The ML is also already so perfect since the beginning. The game of pretense and the outcomes of events are obvious and guaranteed, giving no room for us to wonder about the characters and their fates. And the closing episodes, the wedding is too late, the happiness we want to see is just an epilogue.
Meanwhile in Blossom, you learn the process how FL and ML become who they are. Until the later episodes, you still have mysteries to answer regarding their fates and it is thrilling. And the best things, we got a full episode for the wedding and complete depiction of their happiness, relationship, and unity as husband and wife. For romance enthusiast, this is heavenly! I no longer care about revenge and palace politics stories. I am happy to see how they navigate the situation as soulmates and comrades.
also, ML said he lost his martial arts or kungfu but i see him flying around so did he lost it or he's lying?
That flying technique is called qinggong. It doesn't require inner energy to do it, so that ML still can do it. The cause of his losing of kungfu is the disruption of meridian channels, like a medium in the body to exert the inner force.
can someone explain to me the beginning of the movie? why was the monk inside the gold coffin? was he dead and…
In contrary to many people believe, that monk entered the coffin by his own will. He held his breath and turned into sleep state. After his father's death and his sect's defeat, he was raised in a monastery by the old bikhu. Due to his background, he was not allowednto learn Buddhist martial arts, so he was taught a forbidden arts. This arts was a controversy because people don't know the nature of it. So, some people feared it, some people wanted to exploit it. The first party come to the monastery and pressed the master to surrender the little monk, resulting in his death. The little monk was cornered and thus, choose to surrender so that those people could abolish the arts within him. That is why he was in the coffin to get transported to the designated place for that purpose. However, many people have interest on him for various purposes. The one with white hair wanted to prevent the transportation so that he could be back to his sect and homeland. The prince wanted to use him for a political scheme. But, the thing nobody understand is that the only thing he really wanted is to go to the homeland of his master, to bring back home his soul/ sarira, to pray for him, to express his thankfulness.
In the first episode, the female lead seems quite clueless, will she become stronger in the later episodes?
Yes. Slowly, she gains her senses, her memory of the past 9 lives, her power, and better understanding of ML's love, sacrifice, and selflessness. In the end, she let go her grudge and get redemption.
However, in this story, she is not the "problem solver", but the ML. She is the victim that ML tries to save and help repeatedly. So, you won't see her doing many meaningful initiatives or heroic acts for the story progression.
Physically, as the god of war, she is the strongest among being. But, ML is the one who has the heart of steel.
