Ch 20 is excellent - I may have watched twice already 😅

Yeah I’m surprised CSS was still hanging on. LY hesitation was telling.

It could have been translated differently too - “If you will fight with me over him, then you can ride in the carriage and talk with me” kind of attitude. And from her perspective she may have seen early on that LY liked CSS more than her

Totally agree. Re: #2, by the end of the episode I respected her character. Kudos to the director and the actress

Feels like Part 1 will end with the engagement and the rest of the story will have to wait for Part 2?

Except LY still needs CSS to prop him up all the time. Like when he was too cowardly to talk to HZY. I think it would get old for her real quick

He feels like the classic elementary stereotype of the boy that teases the girl and pulls her pigtails because he doesn’t know a better way. But maybe he’s just frustrated that she never takes him seriously as a candidate

I like how they illustrated the similar unyielding personalities 😂

Ep 20 was great but I’m still dying for ep 21-22. This drama is so great because they really make you care about characters other than the leads. So. Good.

The end of ep 20 with He Zhaojun… man!

This is my fav role by the actress, just ahead of Romance of Tiger and Rose

And thank goodness!!! I almost dropped after the first two and so grateful I stuck it out

Seo Yul is a loyal friend to Jang Uk too. In the last ep he defended Jang Uk to the other Spngrim mages. He may not know how Jang Uk feels towards Mu Deok romantically

I think it’s fine and normal for kdrama. I just want the overall plot to move forward more than the romance. Drama already shows the main couple is just thinking of each other which is all that matters

It felt very fillery. I want more forward plot movement!

Do you know if we ever meet older brother in the drama?

HEA. There is a discussion thread on this page that provides more detail

Let's just hope Part 2 airs in August and not end of year haha.

I recall seeing a video clip of Leo Wu describing LBY as "toxic" but at least in this situation he is acting very commendably. Not being petty or trying to sabotage, but still looking out for CSS. (Unless the very act of sharing this edict makes it clear how much he likes her to the world? I might be missing that dynamic).

If this wasn't based on a novel, that would be a possible ending for sure. There are comments from novel readers that spoil the actual ending if you really want to know.
