Thank you, Xiao Jinyu, for being Wang Ziqiās first breakout roleāthe role that truly introduced him to this industry. Whatever happened in Season 2, let it be. Just rewatch Season 1 if youāre not satisfied with this season. š¤£
Some Predictions and Thoughts Before the Express Package drop~
What did surprise me more was the relationship between Yu Lan and You Chenāan. It doesnāt seem like theyāre mother and son after all. So could Yu Lan be the one who drew the map? Or is she merely a chess piece that You Chenāan planted in Jiaozhou?
Chu Pingās timing of appearance was also unexpected. I didnāt anticipate that it was You Chenāan trying to use Chu Ping to capture Chu Chu. If he truly believes that controlling Chu Chu would allow him to control Xiao Jinyu and the Tang dynasty, thatās incredibly naĆÆve. The ChuāXiao couple are the kind of people who would rather sacrifice themselves than allow the Tang to fall.
Thereās still one character who hasnāt appeared yetāthat is little Chu Chu. Please donāt let there be another āflashback montage.ā And if there really must be one, please donāt give it to Chu Ping. You can transfer that montage to You Chenāan insteadālet him see little Chu Chu in his memories.
When Leng Yue said āsomething has happened,ā it instantly reminded me of season one, of the dialogue when Xu RuguÄ« (Xu Zongfang) kidnapped Chu Chu.
Thereās one point about the carrier pigeon messages that I do want to address. The three pagodas in the Nanzhao map clearly point to the Dali area. Changāan in the Tang dynasty corresponds to present-day Xiāan. I looked up the distance, and it seems reasonable that a carrier pigeon could deliver a message within one to two days. Fast would be around 24 hours; slower would be over 30 hoursāof course, that assumes uninterrupted flight. So estimating about two days for a one-way trip is fairly reasonable.
What feels less reasonable is the travel time of You Chenāan and Chu He to Nanzhaoāespecially Chu Heās timeline, which feels particularly strange and inconsistent.
