Pursuit of Jade Episode 39
1 people found this review helpful
For so many episodes, we've followed Qi Min's steps to seize the throne, and what I saw in this episode was so lackluster. They portrayed him as more cunning than a fox, someone who planned and foresaw many things in advance. But their failed coup attempt in this episode was completely unexpected and surprising from Qi Min. Preparing a coup with so few people and without preparation was absurd and not at all satisfying to watch.Qi Min and Yu Qianqian were a couple I enjoyed watching as much as the main characters, sometimes even more appealing to me than the main characters; I wish they had been better written. Honestly, I loved Qi min's ruthless, "I'd burn the world for the one I love" and "the end justifies the means" attitude. It would have been even better if he had less of that psychopathic side and more compassion, and if Qianqian wasn't constantly betraying him and running away. Their chemistry was amazing; there are so many drama couples that don't have that kind of chemistry, and they were just supporting characters. I'm sure a costume drama with these two would be fantastic.
