Yes

Best scene was when LYL was laying it thick about QMs brother, she walked in to join... and spoiled her scheme at all levels...! the understanding on WS and QM is so good... he knew this is not her brother and went along with her plans.... it was a brilliant scene

Eventhough he was irritating in the beginning, after seeing the way all WS,QM and Grandmother supported him, and once they revealed the secret of his birth... he has mellowed down, but sadly very smitten with QM.... But the commendable thing is he never behaved or even speak anything bad to her, but we all can see the care he has for her. sad...
I just saw the teaser of ep 27 where he leaves the house and goes saying he will never come back... after WS found out about the painting. The thing is WS also love him very much...

Actually... teaser of ep 26&27 shows he saw the painting and burn it and confronted him saying.. have you ever consider me as your brother? Wei Yan says.. its moment of confusion very apologetically... and leaves the house... and grandmother goes after him and falls down...
but i saw another clip where he shouts at QM and throws the gift WY gave QM.... I dont think he is angry with QM but with the whole situation...

I finished ep 25 .. and so far its all ok...!! that scene didnt come. From what I know.. the maid who thought Wei Yan painted her, went and told in anger about the painting, when she realised he painted QM, ... and WS will be angry with brother and Manman... but I dont think he will send the brother away....!!

Like your take on the story.. but in the second paragraph you said, WS had no right to make her choose... but thats totally contradictory to the Chinese traditions...! what choices were given to any wives... and Actually if you think of WS from childhood he grew up with terrible trauma of his three generation of family being killed bcoz their best friend choice not to send support... and before dying the big brother made him promise not to go to Qiaos... so life was never fair for him.. but one look at each other in the beginning... made both of them changed their mind.....lol!!...
Anyway preview of 24 & 25 they kind of pledge to each other.... so thats good...

Going to start ep 23.... hopefully there is something good...!!

Yes she was impressed when she first met him... infact both were... but I am yet to see her true affection....!!

She said in her drunken stuper How can you be so petty bocz you feel I dont love you back. What you wrote is a wish and what I wrote is a regret....! you are here close enough to touch.. whereas I can only send my family wishes from far....
But from what she said before, her family always treated her as a girl who will eventually leave home, so an outsider and she said.. and here also I am an outsider. Only her grandfather had any hopes on her. But no one in her family even visited her till now....!
So the excuses she is giving him... is her clever way of wiggling out of a sticky situation.. of getting caught....!! Thats why I feel does she have any love? Manman is very clever... she can talk her way out of any situation...!!
I hope... for the drama to end welll... that she will do something to put him at ease... to finally feel she do love him....!!

There is something bothering me, which is Does Manman loves Wei Shao??? I know WS is totally gone down the lovers trap....!! but what about her... does she has any love... or is she duty bound... and doing everything she is supposed to do.... I am seriously looking for a clue.
He was heart broken she didnt write a prayer for him...isnt that a normal reaction...of a loving husband...!!
No wonder he thought the kiss was a dream....!!!

Thats what I feel too. there got to someone behind all this... sending Li Shu.. to kill all three, his grand father, father and big brother...
Earlier someone mentioned... Qiao didnt have any generals or good at fighting etc... but then someone to come and kill all three big warriors is not a small thing...

I remember this letter going to and fro between the sisters... but cannot remember the tunnel.. anyway.. i am going to rewatch.. becoz the war and betrayal that happened in the beginning and how QM married WS etc.. really want to watch it to get a more clearer picture....!

Boya Tunnel?? Jeez did I miss something... I am going to rewatch right away...
I really need to watch ep1 to understand many things... the reason why Qiao didnt send support etc...

Thanks guys... will start the rewatch....!

I think I am going to rewatch.....while waitin for more episodes...

so cute

Hope we will know at the end at least. why the Qiaos didnt send support for Weis.............

Every time Wei Shao is on a "I didnt fall for my wife" guilt trip... his generals suffer... especially the Advisor.... bcoz WS wants to visit his home and his wife.... rofl!! its soo funny!

Its such a slow burn, but still all of us are thrilled with every little turn of events...! its actually a very difficult relation, like he said, three things his brother made him promise.... the last one is never to have any relation with Qiaos........... His turmoil.. he knows he has fallen for her.. but feels guilty about it... and move away from her...

The four generals are awesome... that they tried to loose her for him to emote...lol!!! and he did snatched her up... the poet writing about his wife... man thats a bit tooo much.

I wonder what will happen when Wei Yan's painting will be exposed.......omg!! scary thought...!

LYN is doing a brilliant job.. so is SZ and rest of the cast...

Waiting for the line....."In this life I will only carry you............!! Oh My..... what a line that is... in ep 22

I saw in one of his interviews he is talking about these beads he is passionate about.. he has a huge collection of it.. he just likes them.... and collects..!!
