Tawan's team is so far the best the show has offered, other than the HS backstory from the first ep.LO are both good, there's no discussion over that, but the production man... I've been hoping it will get better as episodes pass but it is not.The constant music, the too long pauses, the inconsistency in continuity or on the plot, makes no sense to have such things in a production with this budget.The series is still afloat for me because of the pairing and the acting of the rest of the cast (so far, the highlight of the shown imho), other than that would have already dropped it.

estar this was a very romantic, saccharinely sweet ep & given how lovey dovey the mains were of course a sec from the end, there needed to be some drama. didn't get why Armin's meeting a photographer was such news, but i guess we will find out in the next ep. *******************************************************************************************************************************but at least i got an answer why Armin is so special to TD & why there is such animosity between him & his step-mother & half-sibling. given what they tried to do to him when he was just a teen i don't get them playing like the victims. but i guess bad-guys wouldn't be bad-guys if they acted good.

KJ2025 Jin Yu’s mom was an evil troll, without question. She deserves every day she is in prison. However, her driver and Wang Xing Sheng that defrauded an entire neighborhood, ruined the reputation of an orphanage, and tried to burn Ye Meng and Jin Yu with the car deserve punishment too. That should have been ended better with those two. Jin Yu’s little brother is brought to Gma’s and she is being especially ornery holding a live chicken in his face saying it’s for dinner.😂 little sis gets into music school and Ye Meng is expecting. Ya En is more ready to start a relationship with Kai after seeing his blind date. 😂Jia Yu is now being matchmaker and caretaker for these two.🤣 There is a warm family scene with the women hovered over baby gifts and the men making dumplings. There is also a very cute scene with Jin Yu and the dog. They are discussing the care and treatment for the new baby. Ye Meng has not got her way with a cat yet, but if their child is a girl….that battle is all over. They will probably each have one.😂overall there is far more good than bad in this drama. The supporting cast were the hit of the show for me. I also enjoyed all the music. I struggled with the writer’s choices with the leads, and I complained at length in the episodes I was most discontent with.😂In spite of my feelings on that, the drama is worth watching. Just be prepared to fast forward if things get too annoying with the leads😝 When they did it right, the family moments were heartfelt and thoughtful. Beautifully done. I just wanted that a lot more for the leads throughout the story rather than en mass at the end. The cast did a wonderful job acting their roles. My discontent was with the writer’s and director’s choices for leads. If you enjoy angsty leads and revenge seeking mothers, this drama is definitely for you.

OMG but Armin is doing my head in.... idk how many times i stopped this ep, he keeps having these childish breakdowns & sorry but dude's a 40yr old, that got a 2nd chance & from the sec he woke up, he is acting worse then a child. so idk when he will start to get his act together (& we only in the 5th ep OMG) 5 more to go & i feel like pulling my hair out, in frustration. dude isn't acting like an adult & i wish - really wish every time he has his hysterical breakdowns, spouting nonsense about the f*cking future - i NEED someone to just come up behind him & slap him upside the head!!! maybe it will restart his brain & he will realize that he needs to STFU & avoid the future, not continuously cry about it - as that aint gonna change sh*t.... aish with this character! ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************but beside this i kinda get him not rushing to forgive TD at the start, he just needed to explain that he was almost put i a similar situation, by his ex b*tch of a manager. so TD excusing his "arrangement", as Narin's offer didn't make it any better. but it worked out in a different way & then he met Charlie - which logically made him lose his sh*t & as he didn't know how to react/act with Charlie (as he was still figuring out what he should do) TD's popping up, just allowed him to take out all his anger, frustration & pain on TD. given all TD has done for him, it might seem ungrateful but usually we acts the meanst with people that r closest to us, cause we know they will never abandon us - whack logic, but it is what it is. so glad he realized by the end how important TD was to him & went to apologize - some growth...

I can never resist the Ghost Market in dramas because visits there are made out of desparation and it's so bizarre. The cicada is priceless, the limping doctor is deceitful and can make your eyes wide shut. Frosty will need more than a handwarmer to keep him from spitting up blood.

almost got done in. He is so kind and can't believe anyone is evil despite being framed for murder. Who is the framer? There are the cheaters, there is the fake mother and daughter and probably other suspects hiding in the shadows. It looks like it might be another Yesha conspiracy.

Honestly, Tonnam Chompoo got my full attention this episode.Their story, even with not that much screen time, is being amazingly portrayed.The actress playing Chompoo's mom is simply spectacular.The development of Chompoo's character is perfect.Tonnam's crying scene broke me completely, amazing work by the actress.

Legend of the Female General Episode 6

He Yan is very unhappy not chosen for elite squad. After drinking courage she shows up in Xiao Jue’s quarters demanding explanation. He tolerates this because she comes very close to revealing her real intentions, but stops just shy of any revelations. She grabs her old sword and offers to dance for him to show her technique. He does a nice dance of avoidance and she ends up slicing his table and zither in two. She wakes up to find out she slept in his tent all night while the commander made Cheng make space for him. The Yuzhou magistrate has sent an official invite to discuss his unreasonable army supply demands and have included Cheng in the invite. It is decided that He Yan will replace Cheng on this trip. She wants to prove her worth to be selected and she noted the man with missing finger that harmed her at the temple. She has deduced the he thinks Lei Hou a spy and that is why he was selected. Upon arriving she places a massive order at the inn and Xiao Jue accommodates and buys her all of it. He then let her know that she would eat it all and waste nothing. I wished they would have shown her attempting this but they skip to them being in the room. The disciple already is aware of Sun’s lecherous son and plans to use that as stepping stone to get his promotion. Xiao Jue sends his subordinate to do more recon and says he will watch He Yan personally. They both see that she has snuck out of the room and wait to see where she’s headed. They all know it’s a trap but accept that it is better to be offense than defense so they go to see how things play out.

every time Armin turns into a freakin clairvoyant, i just zone out - cause he is acting like a mad man & anyone else in TD's place would be looking at him weird, let alone distancing themselves from the nuts case. but that aint how it's written, so we get TD still sitting close, making cow-eyes at him, oh well - personally i can't stomach it & just fast forward scenes where he keeps going on & on about what's gonna be... so tedious, i wish he would get a clue & stop. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************well TD at least bought-out Armin's contract & he doesn't have to suffer Thiwthit the dimwit or Lilly the pimp. but i feel so so bad for the the poor struggling actor's under her, she is basically selling them - while promising them that it will bring them jobs & fame. sadly there's a bigger chance of them getting used & abused, never achieving their goals - then fulfilling their dreams. this a sad reality in this industry, no matter the country. freakin depressing - ******************************************************so found it ironic that by the end that Armin realized, what he wasn't ready to do under Lilly's "management" he was getting groomed (yes groomed, cause TD lied saying Narin made the offer, when we know the person with power holds the cards & was the one to make the offer) to do with TD. & given Narin, no one can blame him for jumping to the correct conclusion. ******cause yeah TD is very attracted to Armin, but idk i always have this feeling that he feels guilty towards Armin & he is helping him cause he feels like he owes him - for what or why idk (yet to find out). but i think that is why he doesn't "jump him" & keeps holding back, especially when Armin's full of gratitude, TD physically backs away. time will tell if i am right. but i am glad Armin found out - he needs to know that TD aint a saint, even if he is his savior. **************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************now wondering if the poisoned champagne was a gift from Narin, even though if Armin died when he was 40 & this 25 yrs before - i doubt TD would've kept Narin hanging for so long & not swapped him out with a new, fresh YOUNGER boytoy. so idk -

Celestia- HOD Fan Xian along with Lady Liu and Ruoruo has entered the palace, and being summoned by the consorts, well trick was on point by calling Lady Liu's cousin consort Aunty, while Consort Shu was quite strange, obsessed with books, and stating that her son is not all that good FX is saying him to be, he's only acting around him, now I'm really curious about second prince. When they're going to visit Lady Ning, the birth mother of First prince, it was hilarious when Fan Xian was casually discussing power struggles with Ruoruo and the Eunuch panicked was coughing to signal Fan Xian while he was like oh no one will know if you keep silent about it lol. It's even more funny when Fan Xian just casually criticises the Empress Dowager by saying that " The old lady is quite narrow minded", the Eunuch would've almost fainted there lol, he was coughing so loudly so Fan Xian would stop talking and criticising the royal family members in the palace. Lazy Nind casually told her servants to bring that large bowl of rice, even the Eunuch was staying at it with his mouth open line "who's gonna eat this much??" The Eldest Princess, Wan'er s mother, summons Fan Xian cause she finds him interesting, but summoning not only him but also Yang Xiaoyi the Director of Imperial Guards, ahhhhhhhhhhhh I wanted to see him again, yayyy! He had to kneel outside the palace of Empress Dowager, and Eunuch Hong Sixiang came out, isn't he one of the 4 Great Masters. The Eldest Princess is the one who planned the assassination twice, in Danzhou then in the Niulan (or something )street. She was testing Fan Xian (she's a psycho) by revealing to him that she's behind his friend's death. And that scene was so cool when Fan Xian kept his cool, and just massaged her neck for a moment then stood in front of her and said you already have backup behind you, and I'd already be a dead man if I took action against you, and just then he turned around and imitated the move of shooting an arrow, even Yang Xiaoyi's eyes widened by this move Fan Xian pulled, cause it's hard to detect a highly skilled martial artist. FX: DIRECTOR YAN, NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN. YXY: WE'LL MEET AGAIN. Some Master Zhuang Mo Han has entered the city. Fan Xian and Lin Ruofu agree on one thing that Eldest Princess is Crazy. This officer seems too excited to me, anyways FX has been transferred to the Court of State Ceremonials as Deputy Receptionist, FX is adorable 🤣.

This case does not seem to be moving the plot forward. I'm not enjoying the female lead teaming up more with the Zhuge guy than our handsome Detective. It seems so obvious the disciple with the gloves is in some relationship with the wife of the victim unless we are totally being gaslighted and it's the daughter and her mom that are the killers.

DL wants to get revenge on YS by making JJ fall in love with him bc he knows that she’s special to YS bc of the whole fiasco at the BUI party. And then they become a couple. Then to get back at her, YS gets jealous and gets with the executive that’s always hanging around him. Then, JJ realizes what DL is doing is all a plot OR DL breaks up with her, and she cries, which leads her to go to the hospital (DL doesn’t care that much, maybe her bestie bringing her there), and her bestie pleads YS to help her and he rushes into the hospital and apologizes and then he tells her the truth and confession. In between all that, DL actually develops feelings maybe when they’re still together or smth after their breakup. I’m sure the secretary following DL factors in here somewhere probs w/ revenge to break DL and JJ up. The male leads confront in front of the hospital and duke it out or huge argument ensues and then JJ has to make a choice, but she chooses YS bc rare childhood friend w

idk why Armin is shocked he is going down the same path, when he is choosing the same things. the fact he decided to not break the contract with Venues, means what when his manager is a mega-b*tch that is opening telling him, that she has NO intentions of helping him - thus he will never gets jobs & will never become an actor, let alone famous with a leading role. & cause of the yr of getting blacklisted, he chose to stay. ******************************************************************************why not spend this time, asking for advise, consulting a lawyer, making a plan - getting dirt on the manager or the company to use it to blackmail them or her, to let him go or let him work. something, anything then being passive & apologizing. then giving up & drinking into a stupor... but we talking Armin after all, genius he is not - great looks but that's about it. know i am being mean but come on u have so much knowledge about the future instead of using that to help u get a better life u basically just going with the flow & choosing the same path. ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************still waiting to see why TD is fascinated with Armin, it can' be just cause he's good looking cause am sure given TD's position he has his pick. & he already has a celebrity that is his sugar baby (well maybe he not in "service" since TD running after Armin 24/7 idk) but it can't be just the looks. so waiting. & as he is very attracted to Armin why didn't he kiss him in the room the 1st time? why act like he passed-out?!? didn't get it - just to tease the audience?
