Alliances tested

Nianju is used by Ruling and Shi to find Sima Jiao. Nianju is so innocent and trusting. Ruling knows this but has no conversations with him. He would forthrightly tell her the truth of things and has 500 years of experience to share, but she only sees death of Sima Jiao as her option. She has a just cause, but has taken gossip for truth rather than seeing what truth is. Her mother told her what she thought she knew as truth in her confined setting. Ruling has had much opportunity to seek further and deeply but has not used her leadership position to school herself. I am disappointed in the lack of growth of this character. She sings one song with Shi and it is discordant. I am already tired of these two scheming when it is only for the good of the power hungry blood eaters. I will be glad when this arc is done.😝 Tingyan and Sima Jiao are a very cute couple. She is starting to understand the soul region, but she is unaware how tied they really are. Once Shi learns this, it will be the end of them both. I am just hoping he is crushed along with them.The main couple is very cute and sweet, but the schemers in this world are disgusting and tiresome. Ruling is just another in the heap of them. Poor snake thinks she saved him, she brought the pain. She is worse than her sister because little sis is far more straightforward about who she is and what she wants. Ruling comes under the guise of friendship and then uses dagger (in Nianju’s case literally). It probably won’t be too long for literal dagger for her other friend, Tingyan. When Shi tests her with Tingyan, what then? Sima Jiao is waiting for his fire to grow. It ends with our couple fishing
.I will be sad if Nianju goes back to Ruling.

The seal has finally broken

It has been a long 500 year wait but Jiao has finally got the blood of all eight sects to undo the seals that have kept him from self harm and forced him to feed the flame. Tingyan is horrified that when she tried to swing the blade in opposite direction entirely he placed himself so that it went through his heart. The leaders except guardian showed up all ready to kill him off and change the status order among themselves. One of the girls sent had the blood he lacked from guardian and like he was chained too years ago, they were chained and the nails removed from him that bound him there. Ruling was an interesting aside. She was spurned by her clan, but seems to be direct bloodline to leader as she could absorb his core. She has now made herself clan leader that others may follow or not at their own risk. For all the power these leaders wield, their followers seem to be lemmings that follow casually or weasels that wait for their ambition to change current course. It was a striking thing to see those icy looking nails come out of him. So hidden amongst the eight was a group that did not want him bound. They just did not have a voice strong enough to make it prudent to let the others know. His family home has been rebuilt and he goes there. It is sad that the guardian thinks he wants to be surrounded by mindless puppets. Tingyan is relieved she has lived another day and pragmatically rests in a hammock she found. She truly just does want to eat and sleep and live another day. The flame flower has joined him and together thy are finally free. The snake can fly and the flower is now a phoenix of flame. While his release has brought satisfaction, he is not particularly happy to be home. There is no family or happy memories. It is cold and empty even tho quite beautiful aesthetically. He allows her to pick a flower that is either poison or antidote. Did he have her choose this specific one? It is the memory of his mother and Tingyan sees how the Sima clan was forced to favor specific bloodlines in marriage alliances for the “good” of them all. I am now curious to see what he will do with himself with no boundaries to force his hand in how to live or where he will die. He is bored without Tingyan’s modern speak and she is struck speechless with the current events searing her brain. She casts no judgment on anyone but curious why so much death was necessary. His mother’s flower seems to be the beginning of understanding.

Mean old Emperor!

What is up with Emperor?! I understand why he wants to keep balance by not having the two strongest military leaders wed, but forcing Xiao Jue to give the imperial edict to He Yan is just outright malicious! And to threaten him with his family when Xiao Jue refused! How cruel! And yes
I totally think you erred! Up this point, everything Xiao Jue and He Yan did was for the good the Wei empire! I thought he was a pretty cool Emperor until this happened!

as this progresses, so does my blood pressure…

as this progresses, so does my blood pressure - not enough we got poor Mashiro's overbearing mother we also gotta suffer Kanade (the utter moron) that has intrusive co-workers that he isn't capable of telling "f*ck off" & he needs those busybodies to tell him to go talk to Mashiro?!??? dude rather procrastinate & spend more time have conversations with himself, then actually talk to Mashiro. the only safe way he can communicate is via text & then also, he will leave a lot unsaid. *****************idk how people r loving this - even though i am seeing red, i can understand a child (no matter how old) not being able to put their parent in their place. but what is Kanade's damage???? so what if he is insecure - just cause Mashiro doesn't walk around like a battered soul, means he's not suffering's???!??? that he's not insecure???? if anything he's more truthful about his feelings & thoughts... & worse if he is hurting, he just keeps it to himself cause he doesn't want to burden anyone else. ugh Mashiro needs a savior ************************************************************************************************************************& no that half-assed confession does make up for how Kanade left Mashiro to doubt his confession. that "kiss" also doesn't make up for sh*t - & Kanade's screaming overacting is fast becoming nails on a chalkboard annoying - that not cute, funny or sweet - bleedin grown ass man ******************************************************************************************************will repeat myself - idk how the f*ck people r enjoying this & coming back for more

Nice drama

Worth watching drama, I'm eagerly waiting for the next episode. I would like to rate them. Interesting and exciting. The main actors and supporting actors all good. Love you guys from Malaysia.

Four Stars

The best thing that happened in this ep was Dr. Baek throwing Dr. Hong back down into the chair! Like Estar said I wanted him to punch the living daylights out of him! Also, I don’t understand the anesthesiologist department! Like why do they seem to hate doing the job they get paid to do? It’s quite ridiculous! Also, inquiring minds want to know; do Koreans not need to pull over when an ambulance is barreling down the road??

High Re-Watch Value!

The story is a bit different from the usual .... not bored at all! Have re-watched some scenes and episodes repeatedly. This is the only drama so far in 2025 which i'm re-watching almost crazily.

this ep was stupid - sorry not sorry. for…

this ep was stupid - sorry not sorry. for a society that's very "correct" where they got rules & boundaries for everything. where u have to keep up appearance's & can't be too intrusive as that's rude, i don't get the females in this BL. where does Kanamori come off by getting up in Kanade's business, about who he is dating - so what if Aizawa liked or confessed to him. he rejected her, end off - but she wanted to know why, so he lied to her. even after that, she wont give up & he has to explain & justify why he doesn't want to date her???? like what the actual f*ck! this not normal behavior anywhere - ***********************************but the dude's a moron & when he needs to tell people to butt out he's mute or accommodating... OMG this did my head in. cause where he needed to be proactive, he wasn't - like with Mashiro, who he knows he hurt & yet he's just sitting quietly - waiting for him to contact him 1st ugh. **********************************************************************************************& even if Mashiro wasn't going though hell with that "mother' of his, i would get mad at Kanade's inconsiderate & selfish behavior. & that text didn't make up for sh*t - sorry. Mashiro was right in calling to ask him what he wanted to say. Kanade playing coy just annoyed me. really wish he would grow up but doubt that's gonna happen. poor Mashiro not enough he got one child in his life now he's gonna get another aish...

why do all the lighthearted, fun loving character's…

why do all the lighthearted, fun loving character's have deep scars, poor Mashiro he deserves better then the mother he was left with. wish the grandmother stood up more for her grandson & put her daughter in her place. she the freakin adult & yet other then neglect or smother him with neediness she did nothing - really felt bad for him. & this is why sometimes u should keep ur opinions to ur-self. as Kanade should've - he doesn't know about Mashiro's relationship with his mother let alone about Mashiro's mother. so giving him b.s. advise did nothing by add to his misery & destroy the peace & happiness he was experiencing cause of their date.

at the end there was Mashiro talking to Kanade, why do i have a feeling it's someone else... hope i am wrong cause finally in this ep they communicated & Kanade didn't just go through the motions all on his own. it was fun & i am really liking Mashiro more & more as this develops. it's so easy to see why Kanade fell for him - he is a really loveable character - great personality. ********the older woman at Kanade's work place is annoying, can't he tell her he is dating someone or something like he lied to the chick that confessed?!? i don't get people like her, u gotta play matchmaker??? u've come to work, do that & leave everyone else's private life & romance's to them to sort out - ugh...

doomed yaoi

now let me keep going. I also think the time skip from the last episode was good and was put at a perfect moment. Okay wait what happened to the other actor that was with ren? Is he evil? Hes like the sexiest one i wish they showed him more. That weird ass scene with the collar almost made me close out of this show. I AM GONNA JUMP HE WAS GOING TO MEET HIM AND THEN HE FUCKING DIED. Doomed yaoi. I think the saddest part about this how show is that armin didnt die on impact immediately. His final moments were spent getting his picture taken as his head bleeding out. Maybe its that damn room with all this bad juju bc why everyone having killer nightmares bro. Wenai and Janine are literally my faves and them interacting is so fun. IM CRYING WHAT? I had a feeling. Hey as long as hes not dead. 10/10 this was a very good episode and hopefully they bring it home and i can finish this before we land. Okay bye!

anything to be a star tho right?

downloaded. I can probably knock this out and then write the final review in the denver airport. I am gonna go to the bathroom lmao. This is a heavy case of you cant change everything. Some things have to stay the same. And it saddens me but i think aunt jeed is still gonna die and him and phat are still gonna fall out. Thats why he regrets everything so much. Didnt even get to say goodbye. What it takes to be a star. My other criticism for this show is the villains. I wish we had like more evil silent ones instead of the temper tantrum head ons one. That gets old quick especially because we have two of them. Armins like not again bro. The look on his face. He accepted that shit. Its a dog eat dog world bro. “Oh my god.” Wise words wenai. Wenai is never coming back in to work again. I refuse to watch the previews for the next ep or else im gonna stop. Uh okay good episode, a good amount of drama and love. Our crybaby villains are back but hopefully not for long. 9.5/10 strongest ep so far. Okay bye!
