I’m actually obsessed . . . i enjoy this a lot. i can’t ev en really pin+poiny why. i enkjoy yuikma’s character. i find it reeally easy to emerse myself in her story. i enjoy this troupe. i also think thje nature of their characters & the genuine★ness of the writing make every casting feel the right fit. we have a strong cas t of colourful characters which i find to be very important to sell this show & I’m just really pleased with all I’m watching. i am invested in so many different parts ofthis show. i don’gt think it’s revolutionary bvut it feels right. it feels very caring & human.

KJ2025 The servant is brought in and Lian is pointed out for initiating gossip. While punishments get passed out gma thinks she will force a marriage with Wang to restore reputation. When JinZhao is about to be locked up for refusing, brother Yao shows up with betrothal gifts. Yao has grown up in the time they have been separated. He makes an impressive groom. This time when they met, there was not the bickering conversation. He is truly worried about her and does not want her reputation shattered. He also has the older brother look when she describes being in love so well. He is forced to admit his love is brotherly, but he is pondering who makes her flush and stay up at night. I am proud of him for making such an impressive marriage price for her and looking out for her amongst these wretched Gu’s. Waiting to see how this all plays out. In Daxin they have kept the chaff with the rice. For a short time this makes it more nutritious, but when storing, it will spoil quicker and hold more arsenic. This is a deliberate plot to harm the general populace. I misunderstood. The rice was swapped with bran for relief stores. This was not handled by the granary manager but by Fu’s henchman himself. He doesn’t even bother to hide it. They are brazenly setting up Chen to take the fall and guarding him so he can’t retaliate. He has called to meet with JinZhao and they know that the conspiracy is a political takedown aiming for Chen and daddy Gu to take the fall for it. A colleague has forged her dad’s seal without his knowledge. Wang Xuanfeng wants to take down Fan and Fu is more than ready to assist and since Chen is showing he’s his own man and not the expected sycophant —two birds with one stone. I can’t wait to see his plotting bring him down.😝😡🤬 Chen is asking JinZhao to delay things as long as possible while they hunt down the colleague. Dead or alive he will prove something fraudulent happened. JinZhao is buying up grain and getting soup kitchens and medicine stalls ready to keep the province from revolting. This will give everybody more time to catch the culprits and take care of the people. She wants to hit the ground running when the bran is discovered. Fan has showed up at Chen’s office and the fireworks begin. Chen takes the winds out of his sails by resigning and an order of impeachment for Fan citing 10 cases of nepotism to charge him with. Chen is very shrewd. He still looks to be Fu’s man while working on setting them both back. Ye Xian just got orders to bring every Gu male back to the garrison. The prior warden has a grudge and this worked out nicely. His fringe benefit was a satisfied grin making YeXian personally take charge of the order. Fortunately JinZhao was already prepared. The order should have been for the two political fools we already know about, but the sons were added because of the grudge. JinZhao gives her brother some money and instructions and Ye Xian said he had the prison side of it handled. I liked that JinZhao told him to be careful as well. The ladies of the Gu house are crashing fast and general JinZhao is taking charge. They are combing through every single document and gathering evidence. She knows she is integral to Chen’s defense. He is trusting her with his very self. ❤️ she is motivated to leave no stone unturned to take care of the men she cares about. It is just a shame it will also spare the two old reprobates that deserve punishment. 😝At the court Chen assumed the blame while glaring at the real culprit. Fu’s man thinks he forced Chen’s hand and Fu initially thought he could smooth things over with Chen. This changes when he hears of Gu’s daughter bringing a case to court. He is putting the pieces together quickly and now it’s a race between him and Chen to see if justice prevails. This was an interesting change of events and I liked that for once the Gu women have put their petty differences aside and are working together in defense of their house. I wish there was one more episode today to see what happens sooner. Excellent storytelling keeping the romance on slow sizzle and political conflicts at good pace. I also have to applaud that the women will be bailing the men out. This makes me smile. Usually I am annoyed that the Gu men are rescued by their ladies, but this time, it’s about real justice and not hiding some greedy stunt they pulled. A bit of time in jail will not be bad for the old ones at all, they have long had it coming. But for them to be indebted to JinZhao, including dear gma ….this is a good thing. They will hopefully mind their manners in future. As for Chen, I am hoping his lady will let him officially propose when this is settled.

IrenaK This episode already showed how just a few different choices can change relationships. For example, I’m really enjoying Ji-Won befriending Mrs. Yang and Hui-Yeon while distancing herself from Soo-Min and Min-Hwan even more. 🤗Mrs. Yang seems quite shy and lacks confidence, yet she’s very competent and hardworking. She comes across as quite mature, almost as if she has gone through some hardships or abuse herself. Hui-Yeon, however, is very spirited, energetic, cheerful, and optimistic. She has a very healthy attitude toward life, and I bet she could help Ji-Won and Mrs. Yang gain more confidence. She also seems like a very good judge of character—especially regarding Soo-Min! ☝️😏Soo-Min is such a sore loser. She cannot stand that Ji-Won is slipping from her manipulative fingers; however, I still wonder what she might do to harm or humiliate Ji-Won next. She seems even more terrible than I imagined! Now she is trying to play a game of "teaseful seduction" with Min-Hwan and Mr. Kim. I don't think that will end well, but she apparently needs someone to manipulate. If it’s not Ji-Won, she’s looking for a new target. 😒🙄Mr. Yoo's presence at every moment Ji-Won needs help is very convenient. Suspiciously convenient... He even knew how to track down someone who went to school with Ji-Won. Why? All of it makes me wonder if he knows way more than he's letting on. Also, he clearly recognized that money with the heart on it. Could he also know about future events, just like Ji-Won? 🤔

Wang had his Gma go to the Gu residence to force a proposal on JinZhao. Glad to know she keeps a dagger close just in case. After he had a dip in the pond, she made sure Chen noticed him. Chen invited himself over and then received a very tasty meal.😝😂 I am sure daddy Gu is wondering over his tastes since JinZhao knew it so well.😂🤣 He gets invited to stay the night and actually accepts. JinZhao is strolling by where he is staying believing he is in the guest room. She overhears her uncle and gma talking and now understands why her mom paid 20K taels of silver. It covered the uncle’s embezzlement of funds so her father couldn’t be implicated and lose his job. While they are plotting, her lantern gives her away and she’s almost caught by her uncle. Who she is caught by is Lord Chen. He is forward without being aggressive. Their first kiss is everything it should be. And for that to be her very first kiss….it is sigh worthy. 🫣🥰❤️ she is caught by her cousin leaving and the rumors fly. JinZhao has a very strong constitution because she still remains unconvinced Lord Chen is right for her and vice versa. She hears all the rumors Lian had her maid start except Wang Zan’s name was used instead of Lord Chen. The gma knows that their embezzlement secret is out and wants to keep everything quiet, but jealous granddaughter had other plans. When cornered in the fabric store, JinZhao accepts the challenge and is heading out to confront Wang with mean girls in tow. First his butler shows up to apologize and then a beat up Wang apologizes in person.😂🤣 when she looks up Ye Xian is smirking and looking pleased with himself. Chen handled it with the servant but in this moment, I’m wanting to hug Ye Xian for getting that lecherous creep beat up. This guy needed a lesson to discourage what he viewed as husbandly rights and duties. I love the friendship he and JinZhao have. JinZhao has heard of the drought conditions in Shanxi and the word gets to Chen. He has checked in on JinZhao to be sure she’s ok and let’s her know he will be away a few days. He asked about someone showing up to apologize for Wang and she finds out Chen had him for accepting a bribe. She didn’t comment that YeXian had him show up personally a little worse for the wear. 😝😂Lian comes in with a new hairpin all pleased with herself just in time for her gma to wallop her.😂🤣 That was as satisfying to watch as seeing Wang beat up. Chen has tried to dissuade his mother from believing or passing along gossip and I am really curious how her first meeting with JinZhao will go. Chen is full pressed pushing romance and can’t wait to see his next move to woo her.

Avi A perfect mix of funny, romantic and smart female leads with petty side characters giving the episode some spice. This was one of the best kiss scenes I have ever seen because it started so awkward and became so steamy.

soybeann You'd think everything would go well now that Gibeom's name is cleared, but the harsh reality proves not to be. I cried so much, thrillers that make you cry over ones death are the best

cjspock The final episode is an emotional rollercoaster. All puzzle pieces have been put into place, and we see the complete, tragic end of Ran. Qiao Su Qing and Xu Meng do not escape punishment. Yuanlongli is demolished with applause. He Xiao He is awarded for solving the case and gets to work in the criminal division. There is an award for He Yuan Hang's contribution, but first, they have to find him. After watching the demolition, it is too much for him, and he goes to see Ran off at the train station once again. The police team shows up for his award, and they all get to say a tearful goodbye to Ran. All in all, a bittersweet ending to an engaging mystery.The cast was amazing in the penultimate chapter of this haunting story.

Qiao Su Qing reveals the true events and how she and Xu Meng enacted the nearly perfect crime. Things begin to fall into place as the story unfolds. All the seemingly random clues along the way are making sense. The police locate Xu Meng and take her into custody. Now it is her turn to reveal her side of the story. Before heading into the interrogation room to confront Xu Meng, He Xiao He was encouraged by Ran and her father (in spirit). While this is another episode filled with much exposition, it is interesting to see all the pieces fall into place. Seeing the three together (even in Xiao He's imagination) was bittersweet.

Across the Ocean to See You Episode 38
0 people found this review helpful
Without Earl's cute little performance, this episode probably deservers a "1". At this point this series has really leaned hard into using nothing but cliche' plot trope after cliche' plot trope to drag out these remaining episodes. The script quality has gotten so bad. This barely resembles the show that was the first 20 episodes. I'm just gritting my teeth to make it past all this stupidity to get to the happy ending. But Earl was cute so I'm adding a +2 to the score just for him.

Qiao Su Qing had just been released from detention when He Xiao He arrived with the warrant. The evidence Ran had collected all those years ago was found, and the team obtained a warrant for her arrest. During the interrogation, Qiao Su Qing tried to stick to her version of the truth until evidence was presented. She finally told the truth about the events. The sad truth is that while she didn't hurt Ran, she knew who did, and it was someone we never expected. The episode dropped a bombshell that some have speculated about. We then took a walk down memory lane and heard the true events from the mountain and after. While not as much happened this episode, it was good to finally see the true events and how close (and yet so far) Ran and He Yuan Hang were during their investigation.

Qiao Su Qing holds firm to her version of the truth. There is now a race to obtain evidence of her involvement before her confinement ends (less than 24 hours). He Xiao He worries they will not be able to find evidence in time, and Qiao will be released. He Xiao He and He Yuan Hang start putting together that she may be responsible for more deaths surrounding the case, including Ran. He Xiao He starts reviewing the accident footage to see if she can be found in the area, while He Yuan Hang tries to figure out where the evidence Ran collected could be. Unfortunately, he has run out of his medication and passed out. He was gripping a clue from Ran's ghost about where the evidence could be. Meanwhile, at the police station, the team remembers that Ran was writing a report before he died, and they hack into the system to recover He Yuan Hang's account, finally putting them on the right path. The clock is ticking, and we all wonder whether they will find the evidence in time. Pan Yue Ming's emotion when remembering Ran breaks your heart a bit each time. This was an emotionally charged episode, with everyone trying to do their best to solve the case.

The lead singer is not so impressed with Laidi. She was expecting an older girl that could sing and was pretty. The uncle defends her and they start off by scrubbing her down and finding the girl under the sheep dirt and smells. She sees costumes and wigs which amaze and alarm her. She is told to eat and not begrudged food. The snoring contest between lead singer and Laidi 😂🤣 The cook’s son befriends Laidi and shows her where to find hidden food. She is soaking in the atmosphere and waits a full day before saying anything. Nobody knows what she is capable of yet. Not even she. Singing practice isn’t going so well but she gains cool points by calmly picking up the snake and tossing it out the window. Politics are dangerous at this time and the stunt with the letter has caused far more attention than usual. This changed who judged the tryouts making it look less and less likely Laidi could be pushed through. The understudy has been given the lead role and a secondary drummer wants uncle’s place. While the men started to argue, the new lead says she doesn’t want to perform with him. It is hard to describe this drama because it is one to just watch and absorb. The story flows smoothly and the dialogue is limited. It is more experiencing the artistic life of the troupe with singers , musicians and acrobats practicing. They are their own community and treat each other like family.
