KJ2025 This episode gives us some of Komatsu’s history. She and Dr Shinomiya have words about midwives vs monitors. He has cause for his biased view on things, but sometimes I wish he would be less cold and harsh in his mini diatribes. This episode focuses on moms to be that want more natural and family oriented setting during childbirth. This is more possible with midwives. This is a beautiful idea unless there is a complication for mother or child and then it can go very badly. Komatsu’s mom ran a maternity clinic and this is where she decided to become a midwife like her mother. She is a team player at the hospital, but she is seen often behind the scenes working with the new parents or mom during contractions to help put them at ease and give practical care knowledge. This is a respected profession, but there is a huge caveat with the job, no mistakes can be made. This is far more judgmental than docs with the machines. But, they understand the truth of this. For this reason Komatsu opted to work at a hospital. She was confidant in her abilities, but acknowledged things could go wrong. She thought this indicative of her being too cowardly to work in a maternity clinic. When a patient determined to be like her mom, was determined to continue and leave hospital with the new knowledge she had, her midwife shared her children born by c-sections both of them. She realized as Dr Konotori’s gentle words washed over her, that all births were correct births; whether natural or willingly cut open to bring them to world. What mattered was safely and best thriving method. All cases are different, even with same mother. Birth circumstances are unique every time and need to be treated that way. Komatsu laughed when she realized her colleague was successful because cowardly. She calle hospital for help at slightest inclination for problem. This showed Komatsu that she didn’t have to be like her mom to be a good midwife. That her fear kept her alert to whatever or whoever was needed to insure a safe birth. This even had Dr Shinomiya asking her opinion on wait or head to surgery. Little by little he is getting out of his grumpy shell. But his young patient showing signs of pneumonia so I hope he doesn’t retreat and get worse. Love Sakura getting teased at the end and Komatsu stealing his noodled.😂😁

Wait wait wait! They didn't explain the plot twist! The soulmate thing was it's whole gimmick, and they left it confusing! So 3 people can be in a triangle? Also, Lomfon heard BOTH of them! And now Thian hears a completely different person?! And how did Tai saying he doesn't want it anymore actually stop it from happening again?!

sunsuzii_ this whole drama made me love both main actors, especially kim hye yoon but, the story isn´t as great as i thought it would be.it got me hooked during the first few episodes but got very boring by the middle of it. i felt like it was just the same thing over and over again... which is not something people usually lik in dramas, including myself. they did great work with the last 2 episodes though, finally felt at least a bit interesting and i was desperate to know how it ends. overall, this drama would have been better with a bit more plot twist and story, that´s why i give it such a low rating.would recommend maybe to binge watch or to just play it in the background while doing other stuff. although people may like it, give it a try and let´s see!

How did Phat end up in that café?! That's a reaaaally weird coincidence, and also why go there with flowers? Also them immediately breaking up and then not talking is a bit...childish? ****The parents' fight was about their expectations of happiness for their children. Father wanted a happy childhood for them, mother wanted a good future for them (also seen when she criticised Thian in an earlier episode). Using that fight as a reason for their breakup is...kinda bad. They should have had these discussions years earlier. Two children were already University age? That's way too late to decide what is important when raising children. **** Otherwise still beautifully shot. Audio has some issues though. Does the sound person still have their hearing?!

The wedding gives them another close moment but the wisp and vengeful father can’t wait long. Tingyan has left as many reminders as possible. Her course is clear and she plans to follow through. I was puzzled at his refusal to take the seal but then understood after. The wisp had to believe he’d won before the trap could be set. Even at the end, knowing who actually killed his daughter and that he’d been duped, the vengeful father picked up his sword to play it out. He was so joyful thinking he had killed Jiao. The doc had me wondering if she was double agent and crossing him at the end. She played her part well. These two…..they lay it all on the line for the one they love and this time it was her turn. We don’t know how much time Jiao had after she left. It skips right to present day. She has a slight concussion and leaves hospital. Her boss sends her to location for a last chance meeting. She arrives to an empty room and lamenting on stairs. It just so happens boss Wei stayed behind and knows she’s the missing pitch he’s not heard yet. However, there is a bigger surprise than a new sales pitch waiting for them both. ❤️🥰 Every lonely journey ends with a fated encounter 🥰❤️ The last line of drama. 😁 It ends with a montage of their best moments. The cast, production and music were all excellent. For me, I would have preferred much less of Shi and Celestial realm and a more even spread of time between the three realms. That would have made this drama perfection for me. That being said, this was a well told story with a satisfying end. It is well worth the watch and highly recommended. I hope this life they get to enjoy thoroughly in happiness.😁

Both are dreaming dreams of their past. This time we are getting glimpses of Tingyan before and just after accident. At the coming of age ceremony Sima Jiao regains his memories. The wretch of a wisp killed the concubine and frame Tingyan for it. She counters by waiting in prison by choice. Here the sacrifice of children and the famine with drought has built a big reserve of resentment flooding into Tingyan’s demon core. She has figure out the scheme in regards to her…she sacrifices herself literally as Sima Jiao did in demon realm to negate the demon core…or she risks demon core taking over and becoming Sima Jiao’s assassin. It’s worthy of Shi evil in the complexities of playing the long game. For now, there is a very small respite window where she vents her anger and frustration at his choice, and how he calmly said his gift was hers to use as she chose. His character is unique in that he doesn’t choose to safeguard himself or his followers under certain circumstances. He lets them be at risk along with himself and lets fate run its course with no regrets. His character will stay memorable with me because of that. He candidly takes life as it is and betters what he can with no apologies. Under the snow they have a brief quiet embrace where they know who they are and are not worried about where they are headed. They are taking a moment to just be.❤️

estar OMG that preview... sh*t's really gonna hit the fan. but i have to say i felt bad for Jun Xi, u want anyone to come out in their own time - here he is getting dragged out, by his brother & ironically by Han Tuo. his brother wasn't in his life idk how long & suddenly pops-up like a bad penny, now is all up in his little brother's business - don't appreciate this. anyone in Jun Xi's place would tell him to butt-the-f*ck out of him personal business. when & if he is ready to tell him anything he will. he got enough on his plate with his lack of a job, place to stay & a kid to look after. why he bothering with his little brother's business?!? **********with Han Tuo, the pressure isn't invasive, but it still exist. Han Tuo low-key keeps pushing Jun Xi into situations he isn't ready for, or knows how to handle & i get his offered the break-up, was his way of helping. but now that Jun Xi is in a relationship with him, u can't just decided all on ur own to end sh*t - like communicate or wait for him to be ready to come out. at least, this time don't force on him.... let him take his time to do what he feels is right.... idk - ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************also i know in the previous ep i wrote that i missed You Mei & was happy to see her, until she basically shamed Jun Xi for how he lied to his parents. sorry but WTF - idk what her own situation was, but u have NO right to force ur thought's on anyone else. Jun Xi can take however long he needs to come out. stay out of their relationship & don't give out unsolicited advise! *********************************************************************************************************************************************also am glad Xiao Yang didn't kiss You Mei, sorry but whatever she was going though she needed to deal with that & not get into something, just for the change of mood she was in. that not a good basis for any relationship. so glad that Xiao Yang was smarter then to do something that could backfire.

So far, Tingyan has managed to keep ahead of old demon’s scheming. Yan’s leader raised fuss about a canal and thinks prisoner is dead. Old demon wisp intends to cause a natural disaster to stir up resentment in the general populace to feed demon core in Tingyan. Fortunately, her people were there to circumvent the natural disaster plot. This has worked well for the emperor and put Tingyan in a good light as well. There is some ritual that both sides want in charge of. I am hoping this is not like Shi’s doings of blood sacrifice rituals. There is something significant about it but still no clue if good or bad. Does this ceremony help the people or help open demon army door? Maybe it depends on which side uses it. Now that wretched wisp wants the souls of 100 children for their scheme. I am glad the mortal is hesitant to do it, but the demon lord has caused trouble for Tingyan. Many birds are dead disturbing the people and she woke up with blood on her hands. She also has not told her people or Jiao about the time lapses and the demon takeovers of her body. This is working against her. Now to see what the old wisp made her do.

Tingyan is not happy he has a harem😝 With the other side also wanting him dead, is the escaped magistrate a double agent? There are still questions about him. The wisp of old demon lord still wants to cause trouble. She is now aligning herself with the leader of Yan. The doc is a double agent. I am not sure if she is disciple of Yan leader or his lover. It is fun watching Tingyan and Jiao needle each other. 😂 This time she is saving him. But, by doing so in assassin raid, she has also revealed herself to old demon wisp. Jiao has his mother this time. Is she his idea or somebody else’s? Tingyan didn’t think enough soul shards left for another life. Both are trying to figure out nemesis plot and each other. Even his consorts mean him harm so she will have a tough time staying his bodyguard with the restrictions placed on her. Fortunately that also holds true for demon wisp. He doesn’t trust her, but can’t deny she shields him. I will be glad when they get to present day mortal time.

NLE That kiss in episode 5… it didn’t just feel romantic, it felt like the kind of moment you carry with you long after the screen goes dark.Why it hits so hard 💔The slow burn made every second ache, like time itself was holding its breath.The music wasn’t just background, it felt like it was written for their hearts alone.The tears weren’t just theirs, they became ours too.The lighting wrapped it all in this fragile glow, as if the world wanted to protect them.What it says about themJimmy and Sea aren’t just acting, they’re showing us what it means when love is tender, patient, and raw. They’ve become the purest green flag pairing I’ve seen this year, the kind of duo that reminds you how rare true connection really is.

This was a bittersweet episode. Sima Jiao is all to successful in purging her demon core. She keeps a wisp of him aside which means core is only suppressed. She is mistress and everybody fears her because she killed the great grandmaster and rules in his stead. It is funny how she demands 8 hr work days and not a minute longer😂 Her yawn when court session finally over. 😂🤣 She is an unhappy ruler because even tho surrounded by everything she likes and enjoys….it has no meaning without Sima Jiao there. I like how the ring was the last to circle around her reminding her of their love. I hope she is wearing it. Black snake gets cornered by both women and is especially in trouble when they sense Jiao’s aura in him. They now know where he is and Tingyan is far from impressed with how his character is gossiped as great womanizer. He wants to see her and sends an escort but she’s not enthused. Prior he sent a traitor to be executed with plans of rescuing him to find out where his master was. Tingyan interefered with that plan and now the wisp of old demon lord is awakened to wisp of spirit flame lord and in Tingyan. She has been resting 12 years and feels nice and spry to greet them. I hope these two have not outsmarted each other to their detriment. It is sweet he carries her picture.🥰 That look of pure surprise when they actually meet. Glad no having to wait for next episode. 😁

Episode 8 broke me in a way I didn’t expect. I had to watch it on GagaOOLala since the iQIYI dub wasn’t available, and maybe that delay only made the emotions hit harder.Seeing Han Tuo jealous of JunXi’s 5 year-old nephew was the sweetest, purest moment. It showed how much love he carries, how much he wants JunXi to be his and only his. But then those final three words came crashing down: “Let’s break up.”The silence after those words felt suffocating. It reminded me of Revenged Love when Chi Cheng said “I hate you” in the prison scene not because he meant it, but because the pain was too much to hold. I don’t believe Han Tuo truly wants to end things. His entire being has revolved around JunXi since they were kids. His love is an obsession, a devotion too deep to just walk away from.To me, those words are a shield. They come from seeing JunXi suffer, from realizing how unbearable it is to hide their love in the shadows. Even though Taiwan has legalized same-sex marriage, culture is not so easily rewritten. Family honor, expectations, shame, they linger in every corner of life. For so many of us, coming out isn’t freedom, it’s the risk of losing the people who raised us, the families we were taught to never disappoint.Watching this episode felt like staring into my own heart. I know what it’s like to love in silence, to hide, to feel both the warmth of intimacy and the cold weight of fear. Han Tuo and JunXi’s struggle isn’t just fiction, it is reality for so many of us.This episode wasn’t just sad, it was painfully real.

Feng Qi😝🤬 Had he not merged the cores her master could have removed the demon lord. Now there is only one way to save her from becoming a puppet. The wisp demon lord is heading to gate to release demon army. It is in mortal realm. These two are most willing to sacrifice themselves for each other. Their love is truly timeless. ❤️They tried to send Feng Qi off as a friend, but I had no feelings for him. He was their albatross and now is Jiao’s. The damage and ruin he caused did not gain him his fish and lost him his friends. In the next life, I hope they never meet. 😝 He has honor in him and deserves a redo, but not with Tingyan. She was never his . Mingling is at least gone now. He thinks he has won and in many ways he has. The only way to save Tingyan is for Jiao to die. Shi would love this irony. It is even better than the plot he made. I’m with snake not being happy about this choice but since they get another round in mortal realm, I can accept the cost for them to leave this one. Minus Feng Qi, this realm might have been a good spot for them. It had far more potential than Celestial realm. Hopefully the barrier stays down and the general populace of both races learn the lesson their leaders never managed—how to coexist.
