I typed this answer before seeing yours and we agree on the Princesses' bullying,
My beef is that we didn't get enough scenes of QiQi and Song's romance to explain how that all happened. One kiss and then next mothers are talking marriage arrangements? Surely they could have taken out one of the Princess's bullying scenes and replaced it with a QQ and Song moment. And what about YangYang? The Marquis Ban has been turning up at the Cheng's residence and we don't even get a glimpse of that.

I hope so, though my beef is that we didn't get enough scenes of QiQi and Song's romance to explain how that all happened. One kiss and then next mothers are talking marriage arrangements?

I totally agree, theres been a disconnect for the first time particularly over Ep 31/32. There wasn't the usual balance in the pacing of the story. There were not rollercoaster of emotions for us to experience it was a dead weight like an Arthouse movie. I do love Arthouse movies just didn't think I would get to experience 2 episodes of this on C drama historical romance.

We need to see more to QiQi and Song's romance! It all seems a bit rushed...now they are talking about an engagement from one kiss? Rushing and skipping here scriptwriters

Oh thanks, more surprises are in store.

I have to comment that there are soooooo many spoilers on this drama. But love it, need it, want it.......we're on a journey together. We all know what the destination is (HEA), we're all in the car together watching and enjoying the scenery, sometimes we get lost on the way , thats why we need the spoilers... to remind us the destination will be worthwhile. Meanwhile our suitcases are packed with the right clothing for the Spoiler signposts along the way. And boxes of tissues as we've all been warned.

Yes ,we need to see more on QiQI and Song's engagement. We haven't seen any interactions since their kiss.

Yes, CSS has yet to learn the art of apology....

Thank you for your insights. a great read after watching Ep 33/34

Thank you. Wasn't expecting that.....

Excuse me, who is the person that the Crown Prince 'has in his heart"? It seems to be an open secret in the Palace. Anyone know this spoiler?

I'm glad you are always there to cheer us along. We will all need support when the separation and angst happens.....

Thank you @camellalspir. I thought it was only me that found these last 2 episodes "off". The content didn't seem consistent, and usually every episode has a bit of "lightness" to help us through whether its Ah Fei doing his guileless humour, some nasty women getting their comeuppance or the interaction between the leads but hey ho lets see what the next 2 episodes bring. I have faith.

Thanks for saying what is in the novel and what's not. I read that the author was the consultant along with the 2 scriptwriters as its a specialist skill and she said she was pleased with what they did with the script.

Good on her for doing her own stunt work. Respect to her craft.

You're not the only one. A few people have commented. Lets hope for the best tomorrow.

I'm hoping that Ep 33-34 will be more engaging and that this was a blip. It felt we had hit still water - the dead calm before the storm? Especially since Ep 30 was a stunner.

I'm really struggling with these last2 episodes...first time in the whole series.

Shes got to stop playing the victim card.
