10 on 10

Easily the best episode of the series so far. Loved that finally both the families were united (sot of). But this is not even halfway of the series. So I am a little apprehensive as to how the story will progress ahead. I really do not want some unnecessary side plots. Right now the story progression is A+ tier. I really do not want it to degrade. Keeping my fingers crossed, hopefully, the drama will progress without any severe hiccups in the writing.

The unstoppable crime-solving duo

It was nice to see them finally work together. Their minds are a perfect match and their other skills just complement their tandem. They should continue to stay as crime-solving partners from now on. And then maybe even cancel the cancellation of their engagement. šŸ˜Cui and Lin were a blast to watch as always. Every episode I am waiting for a scene or two with them. 🄰 The way how Cui now looks at Lin always makes me smile, but I am a little sad that she distances herself from him because of that. I wonder what the reason is, and the only real conclusion I can make so far is because she's supposed to be a man. šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļøšŸ˜”But other than that, I would like to see where this trail with the Hu merchant will lead and who is the person the Duke of Ying answers to, because I am quite certain there's someone above him. Such an ill man wouldn't need those mines to forge weapons for himself, I reckon. And considering the Duke of Xie was hiding him, then he too might be involved in this conspiracy. šŸ¤”I like Physician Xie and I saw how touched he was about HuaYong requesting the Emperor to give his dead mother such an honourable title and the Emperor granting it. šŸ„¹šŸ«‚

I was lost and never found myself again

I did my review on episode 11 stating I am on the fence with this series and wait u til last episode whether I like it or not. TBH and please don’t get upset but the way this show was written and the screenplay left me with more questions. I understand the ending which you have to wait until the credit ends to explain the why…but…in my own opinion the trope of a show within a show within another show is not easy to execute. It’s like watching Nolan’s ā€œTenetā€ which is a beautiful movie but needs several rewatch to catch up. Because of this confusion I also struggle with their romance, I was looking or grasping to find it from the beginning and truly never found it even til the end. Maybe I’m overthinking this series and like everything lose, what’s good for the gander may not necessarily be good for the goose. I am looking forward to future shows of these actors though hopefully not together. The music though, ecclectic and mostly English was done very well.

So after all Heng's sacrifice and care and love ... Meng left him alone for 3 months to go around the country and teach people how to share a cab! Ridiculous!I just hate Meng to the core! And what is going to happen to Heng's kingdom when he comes to the modern era?The ending is childish and nonsensical.I

When cruel words hurt more than lashes. I…

When cruel words hurt more than lashes. I hate Meng in this episode.... No, I just hate her, always!She is constantly lying to everyone, she even tells her sister Ting, that Heng will get her killed which is a lie even based on the original script. She is constantly scheming against Heng, and then slanders him with lies about past wrong deeds she can't give even one xample of and acts so sefl righteously. Despicable and appaling. I don't think i can ever watch a drama with this actress in it. I will be reminded of Meng and get irritated.

Five Stars

When he asks her if she'd belive him, the look in his eyes and onbhis face just breaks my heart. Like he really needs someone to believe him and trust him. And when she says she won't, his reaction breaks my heart all over again. My poor baby Heng! šŸ’”

A child is not a tool

Love this episode so much cuz we got Qingyi and Le'an quality time without even knowing they are related. The whole Opium den alley showed how Qingyi has grown in frontier. I think this epi show Qingyi personal growth as a man and as a father. Su Su is still in her salty state and I wonder if she can overcome her trauma cuz up to now I have seen no light , but darkness from her. The highlight scenes are how Qingyi called out the hypocrisy of Su Su and his ex mom. Literally, I love the fact Qingyi got super motivation to be a father of his child from his evil mother. That kind of bad human can be a mother, why can't I be a father????Episode 27 will be another intense epi where the actual crime case will kick in into family melo.my favorite: A child is not a tool but a human being.

Phatsa please!

I'm trying so hard to understand Phatsa's side, like I'm seriously trying. I know he had been bitten without his consent, but the other is his mate. And we're at episode 4th. It's time to stop throwing tantrums and all. The alpha might've bitten him without his consent - because fated mates, because he couldn't resist - but the rest had always been mutual. Every time Phatsa talks to his alpha he sounds so childish that I can't bear with him anymore. He looked and sounded so damn cool in the first episode... where was that guy saving an omega just because he wanted to do the right thing? I'm mad. Beside this, the dynamics of the inner family bore me death, BUT the 2 side couples... I'm enjoying them a lot so I'm staying for them now.

Meh Start

Was a slog through get through the first ep. Weird CGI mountain shots was goofy but the actions at least good. Usually I love second chance couple stories, comedy thriller melo whatever genre but this one, I don’t really know how or care about them fixing their relationship and getting back together. I root for the FL always, esp the wife over her husband in ā€œboth partners in a couple are in the wrongā€ stories, but this was the exact opposite. I even argued with someone who was defending the female lead when she was fully willing to let a poor man be disabled because she wanted to kiss up to a rich CEO. I don’t know how they can redeem her to be honest, right now she feels like the evil 2ndFL but I guess it’s at least a little bit different than the repetitive Chinese romance dramas with cookie cutter FLs I’ve been watching lately. I don’t really care if the female lead is found or if she’s dead and then the ML to go to jail for it. Hoping this gets better because nothing really makes me wanna root for any character for anything so farAlso, would it have killed them to take this really important picture they keep zooming in on to show main couple used to be happy at an actual mountain, not this obviously fake background. Surely they had the budget and it can’t be that expensive

THE CONFESSION

ā€œHe’s mine.ā€ā€œI like you.ā€ā€œIt’s a bug, a big and hairy one.ā€The confession was so straightforward, no beating around the bush. šŸ˜‚I loved this show so much. It’s honestly perfect. Waiting one whole week for each episode is so hard!

ironically or not i dropped the Thai version,…

ironically or not i dropped the Thai version, but saw enough of the start to notice that this was something i knew when i started watching this... hope this isn't as annoying & have to drop it too. but this is very short so wont be too bored/annoyed & as am watching while this is airing that's another plus cause then can watch it as a palate cleaner & not have to binge watch & then it will be overly annoying. **************************************************************************************************************a lot of character's & other then the mains how the other character's r gonna be paired idk (as i didn't watch the Thai version) so will have to watch & see. cute, even though i hope Hinata loses his 'people pleasing' ways ASAP cause that's gonna get old fast - already did in this ep...

Unrequited love, undercover mission and crimes of Zenan District

I really enjoyed the focus on second leads in this episode. The undercover mission, being imprisoned together, taking care of each other, trying to escape — all of that letting them learn more about each other and bringing them closer… 🄹✨ I loved the choice of their cover names — Lin went with Cui ErGou and Cui went with Lin TieNiu. So clever and funny! 🤭But there’s something illegal going on in Zenan District, where the guards are arresting shabby-looking people for reasons only they know, sentencing them to imprisonment but then ā€œreleasingā€ them the next day because, I quote, "cells are too full". I bet they choose only those who don't have any relatives or anyone close to them in the military or government to avoid unnecessary trouble and investigation into their disappearance… 🫣😟And that’s why they wanted to kill Qi Pei, the gravely injured boy in Gudu Garden. I wonder who is behind the slavery in the mines — but as always, the only person with suspicious deeds mentioned is Noble Consort Rong, though I can’t really overlook Prince Ding and his consort Li YanHui as they also have some secrets no one is really telling anything about yet. šŸ¤”But, uff, the bedroom scene with XiHe and HuaYong — so intense and electrifying! And their lines? šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„After she hesitates to drink the medicine he has brought, him asking her if he should feed it to her with his lips, her telling him she never yields to threats, and then him leaning in until he can feel her breath on his face, whispering:ā€œI have been very restrained. I don’t want to offend you, nor do I want to despise you.ā€ šŸ«£šŸ˜Then her saying his name and him leaning in for that kiss, but her turning her head away at the last moment. Then him trying to insult her out of his own disappointment:ā€œCommandery Princess Zhaoning, who always prioritises the big picture, abandoned me to choose another. But who else is a better match for you than me, who has a legitimate imperial descent and a short life expectancy?ā€ šŸ˜Then her starting to lean in toward him, and him leaning back while her gaze is locked on his, their faces as close as they can be, feeling each other's breath on their skin:ā€œLegitimate imperial descent can be changed. Whether your life is short or not can be orchestrated.ā€ 😳🤭Welcome to XiHe’s unrequited love club, HuaYong! šŸ˜‚šŸ‘šŸ‘‹
