this was a frustrating ep on so many levels,…

this was a frustrating ep on so many levels, so Pi & Deiw never dated?!? & ironically he was the male version of Jane. he took pity on Deiw & wanted to force him out of his shell & he really thought his friends would be the people to exposé Deiw the introvert too?!? & if that wasn't enough (how he treated him, very condescendingly) now he is trying to sabotage Deiw & God's relationship - to what end?!? cause he is butthurt that Deiw is getting along with God's friends?!? petty much!?? ****************the sad fact is Deiw wont communicate, so i don't fault God for having enough & believing Pi's lies. like the whole bracelet incident - Deiw needed to drag that sh*t out?!? he couldn't just tell God it was a keepsake from his father?!? heck they still haven't had a serious conversation about his mother. but that's the problem God keeps giving Deiw space & time to be the one to initiates everything & anything, but he never does - just expects God to accommodate & cater to him - like i've said Deiw is very selfish & God is finally noticing/realizing this - how one side their relationship really is. that's the main reason they can't find middle ground, cause God goes out of his way taking all the steps to come towards Deiw, while he won't lift a finger for God. any relationship would suffer if it was this one sides cause even a giver needs to feel he not in the relationship all alone - like i am sure God is feeling at this stage. ********************************************************************************************ironically the main couple isn't the only one with issues - i get Beer is hurt cause Wan rejected him - but i don't get why he's using Ton to gaslight Wan. Wan's worries r valid - instead of communicating & reassuring him, he is playing mind games with Wan & if this forces Wan into a relationship he is worried to be in... is that something i should be happy about?!??? **************so yeah this was frustrating to watch, Deiw - when he wants can stand-up for himself but when he needs to talk he turns mute especially with God, so it's fair play the turn around where God isn't accommodating & understanding - where he needs time to himself, maybe if Deiw will be on the receiving end he will realize what he has in God & start to change for the relationships sake. **********************************************************************************************************************************side note: i hope the grandfather doesn't die & cause the rift between the mains to grow bigger or worse God forgets his justification in distancing himself from Deiw & him folding cause Deiw is mourning.

Nanny Zhou causes trouble from beyond the grave

JinZhao runs into Lord Chen at the temple and she tells him about wanting her mom to divorce. He suggests they borrow a house in the area that has a calm atmosphere that will help her heal. JinZhao talked her mom into going and they make plans to leave in two days. As expected they are now making Lan the brains of the outfit. Nanny Zhou left her with one piece of news that would split up Lord and Lady Gu. It started when a marriage prospect was introduced for Lan. She was unhappy because she thinks he’s ugly and will make her a laughing stock. Not to mention who she truly has eyes for. Daddy Gu only laughs at her complaint with his features. He basically told her to not be so shallow and to accept the match. She then runs to Lady Gu begging for help in getting it thrown out. But she agreed with the match and made no effort to discourage it. Lan had a point later when she pointed out the degree of assist with JinZhao and Liu and Rong with abductees, but that no such effort was extended for her. They did make Lady Gu look uncaring which was out of character since they had always been close. Lan runs to her mother and they find a servant who had left the house a long time ago. Yu ping claimed that Lady Gu had swapped meds for another wife or concubine resulting in the deaths of mother and child. The maid had been dismissed after the tragedy. Since Nanny Zhou had just shown her deceit with meds it is clear she was making place for the mistress to claim a fake pregnancy and get her married into the household. It was interesting that when concubine and wife had a real conversation that Song was convinced Gu only truly loved the one that died. Ji was married for her money and she was married by faking a pregnancy…so who was the one he really cared for? This was a true tragedy and a deliberate crime, but it also has Nanny Zhou written all over it. Either she did this or learned from it to poison Lady Gu. Daddy Gu has a rant with his wife and he wants to point the blame at her. When this registers, she finally writes a divorce decree. He chooses not to accept and they have one last serious fight. Previews of next ep clearly show the results of that. I am still puzzled by this woman. Was she indirectly forced to marry him because of those sunken documents? Was that her role in the cause for reform? Was she really as weak as she appears or was it to keep Gu in line and out of political trouble. Why else would she allow him a harem with no real argument? Her whole story doesn’t really make sense in the scheme of things. Was she in this marriage to bring a wealthy merchant class into the same tier as nobles? Was this her real objective? What did she get out of it to be worth this much pain in a sham of a marriage? And why do these two women give a rat’s arse about such a little arrogant man? JinZhao will hopefully figure all this out. The one thing made clear was that there was now no blended family. Lan’s actions have made a distinctive line between the families now, but I don’t think it will have the results she’s expecting. She is going to see firsthand the consequences of her handiwork and this time, she won’t be able to delude herself no real harm was done. I am annoyed they are making her character unlikable now and her mother entirely too stupid. I don’t care who the brat gets married off to as long as it’s not Ye Xian or Lord Chen. Good luck with getting any Ji money for her dowry now.😝

Two Stars

wow ep 3 blindside me - who would thought that all games aside, they would both be so genuine at this early stage & stop with the white lies.... how wholesome & heartwarming, but now i wonder (worry) if at this stage they have more or less confessed, what awaits (us) them??? *************************************************************************************************************in the previous we already got a hint that Ryo has a crush, when it started idk - cause the flashback only showed why they noticed & got close to each other, but didn't detect anything romantic pass between them. anyway given their running betting game i didn't think Ryo would basically be this candid about his feelings & even if Zen didn't hold back this time. even though there wasn't much of an NC scene it was hot & butterfly inducing given their chemistry. can't wait for more.

What if...?

It looks like the King starts to look at his Queen romantically, but I am not sure if the hook is Bong-Hwan's personality and current choices, or learning that So-Yong wanted to commit suicide. I've seen dramas where a man who is swapped into a female body ends up enjoying life so much that he decides to stay. What if that is the case in this story too? 🤔I wonder if the engraving on that stone would still be seen in modern times? And if so, could the Queen in Bong-Hwan's body read it and realize where the real soul of that body is. Maybe she thinks that she's just reincarnated? Because if she's in modern times, for her to adapt to the situation could be much harder than it is for Bong-Hwan, no? 🤔

Veteran Singer

This episode may be a bit slow since there isn't much that the secretaries did but this is the perfect sit down episode after a long and tiring day to watch. It feels quite peaceful though I never seen Seo-Jin to fanboy this hard infront of My Star Guest, Nam-Jin. I really love older guests stes in variety show, they always give a homey, cozy as well as jukebox tunes that's interesting. I've learned a lot from this episode such as movies 'Ode to my Father', as well as songs and the different type of rhythm like trot, enka, and Chanzo. I always love it when I learn something new and I might like it because of old folks like him. Also the Na Hoon-A and Nam Jin beef was so serious that Nam-Jin was considered a suspect 😅. Also at the end of the episode, Seo-Jin had a moment of reflection where they did their jobs too well as secretaries and should make their My Stars guest realize how important their managers are. 😭Anyways, I didn't expect the episodes to be bombz, good and consistent after the fortune telling episode and that one My Star Guest who disciplined Seo-Jin.
