another train wreck of an ep - i didn't…

another train wreck of an ep - i didn't expect the grandfather to change - u can't teach an old dog new tricks... what i did hope is that Dee would show some maturity. he finally found his voice with Ohm & somehow crying, pleading made it clear that he now loved Knight even if Knight didn't return his feelings. so that whole mess somehow got cleared-up. ************************but with his grandfather, when is he gotta put his foot down? he just goes with the flow as if he is still a child, he has to stay under their wing? until when? they not gonna change & ironically his grandmother isn't able to read people... where she should've kept her distance, she welcomed Ohm with open arms & cause Knight is in debt, he for sure is a gold-digger?!??? *********************************************************************************************************************************************& Dee is just going along, hoping they will change their mind after Knight proves himself - Dee might have said "us" but he not gonna do sh*t (as he the passive type) & he's gonna wait for Knight to do all the work. while he waits like some damsel in a tower, waiting for the knight in shining armor to come rescue her - like plz ********************************************************i don't even know if Dee is worth all this work - & i am the one that was iffy about Knight's feelings, especially after he admitted that the reason he noticed & was drawn to Dee, was cause he remined him of his ex. so did he like Dee for Dee, or cause Dee reminded him of his ex - that he couldn't get over?!??? but all this doesn't matter given the headache Dee has become. **************************************************************************************************************************************************side notes: couldn't stand "Cookie's" nosy intrusive ass & didn't even know why he was being so nosy - so fitting, that it all blew-up in his face. wish that Knight or someone would've punched him in his nosy nose... ****************************************& idk how Dee considers Fries a friend, he is basically his grandparents lackey - they pay & finance him, his main job is to keep Dee company. i wouldn't trust a thing that comes out of his mouth & i for sure wouldn't tell him sh*t - but Dee not smart, so...& lastly i see red every time Ohm says "talk to me nicely" sorry but the MOFO was asking for every curse word in the world to be brought down on his head - this b*tch gaslighting Dee was freakin infuriating to watch - but again the one at fault is Dee the enabler...

i took a break cause i knew Ohm was gonna…

i took a break cause i knew Ohm was gonna be back - but ironically, he wasn't the most frustrating f*cker in this ep - 1st of, if Dee believes one word out of Ohm's mouth, he deserves to suffer someone like Ohm (who is a user & now that he is older & did the acting stick, wants stability & cozying up to Dee's grandparent's is his way to get a leg into their family & their family business) he knows what a big pushover Dee is, so once they r an officially accepted couple, he's gonna run the grandfather's companies, it wouldn't be that hard to browbeat Dee into being the obedient "housewife" that needs taking care off - he knows that. **********************************************************************************************************************************don't get why Dee can't tell his grandmother, that they didn't part ways in an amicable way. make it clear (& he had countless opportunities) to open his mouth & blow up on Ohm. but he turned into a mute, submissive moron that just went with the flow - he's lucky his grandmother didn't offer Ohm to stay over, then he might've even let him f*ck him.... yeah i am pissed! - like plz with the b.s. exscuses "oh this the 1st time in a while i saw her smile like that" - so f*ck up ur life, be miserable while plastering a fake smile, as long as she's sweettalked by Ohm & deluded into thinking ur happy - like come on. *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************this is why i don't think Fries is a good friend - cause let me tell u i would've lost it & wouldn't be able to be civil even in front of the grandmother - not when Ohm had tried to assault Dee. i would've started with hints & then would've made it very clear ignoring the grandmother all together - cause sorry, but if u r a good friend, u have ur friends back! even if that means upending a table that might shock the grandmother into realizing who Ohm is & how misguided her impressions of him r. *****************also Fries could've sent Dee a text when he sat down to eat & not allowed them to dictate sh*t. & if by some miracle i would've kept it together until Dee came home, the sec he sat down mute & let Ohm treat him like a puppet on a string, i would've blown up on Dee.... asking him why he is just sitting there allowing Ohm to treat him like he was a special needs child?!? OMG this was a f*cking train wreck of a an... ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************& people like Cookie , with their nosy sh*tty sense of humor didn't add to this ep. they just added fuel to the fire that started burning in me. 2 more ep & or idk how i would've kept watching -

Five Stars

This sweet interrogation is adorable, Xiaojue's smiling while interrogating He Yan about the Defense Map while She's lying to him😂. He finally agreed to let her join the Nine Banner Battalion. Interrogation of Lei Hou, He said he was ordered by Hu Yuanzhong, but it's obvious such plan couldn't have been orchestrated by him, He Yan mentioned that there must be someone with grand ambitions behind pulling the strings. Setting Lei Hou free was the right thing, a victim of war. Xiaojue indeed no other way, so he had to release the reservoir, which flooded the city, the only thing he could do cause he had 3000 soldiers while the Wutuo were 30,000, he did provide aid, the plan was to eliminate the Wutuos during the rain (light rain), but what they got was a torrential downpour which led to so many deaths, the villages were destroyed, many people were swept away, the decision was tough for him. More like Sword dance, expressing his emotions. Ahhhhhh! She's comforting him, she covered his back with the cloak and even patted his head 🤭. He was like "I'm better so stop hugging me please" 😂, but she fainted instead (ofcourse she was injured). He Yan really gotta hide things from Xiaojue, he really be giving her a side eye whenever she's lying about how she knew about this or that thing which ordinary people don't know about. The Ginger soup decoding was something that XJ's father found and used it, so how did He Yan learnt about it. But she can't just say on his face that "YOUR FATHER PERSONALLY TAUGHT ME THAT". They came to a conclusion that it's Chai Anxi, his father's Long serving General who is involved in the defeat at the Battle of Mingshui. The task at hand now is to track down Chai Anxi. Chu Zhao met Chai Anxi in the city that was destroyed by the flood, he was acting suspiciously and CZ noticed it.

Retribution and mercy

Lei Hou is not what I expected. He wanted justice for his village and his family, so when the opportunity presented itself to get revenge on the one responsible for this destruction, he grabbed tight with both hands. I am hard pressed to find fault with him on this. He thought Xiao Jue had no honor. And when the longevity locket was presented he felt justified. When he gets to leave with his brother, he gives them his ‘love poem’ and considers them even, with Xiao Jue having many more to go. Lei Hou is on the path to healing, but it will be a much longer journey for Xiao Jue. It is a sweet opening scene with Xiao Jue hovering over He Yan. She is mending and Mr Shen comes in bowing apologies. They lost several in the battle and he felt guilty that he did not do his job well. He presented the defense plan He Yan had drawn up for him. Xiao Jue looked it over and gave it to He Yan wanting an explanation. He told Shen to leave and has a chat with He Yan who is all about her photographic memory. He knows she is lying but chooses to let it go for now. He also tells her she can join the elite guard where she immediately assumes she will be the one in charge. Cheng is so funny as he tells her straight up ‘do you think I am that stupid’ as she spins her tale. He just goes with I will believe whatever you say and then mumbles uncle is gonna fall so hard.😂 She takes her meds and he leaves her the candy she gave him. She is both annoyed and pleased. I like her light reading, ‘The Art of War’😂 Xiao Jue talks about what happened at Que. They were outnumbered 30k to 3k with one possible option to survive. To empty the reservoir and drown the troops. If the rain lessened, the village would be spared, but it turned into a torrent instead. He made all the plans to get them out, but the weather worked against him. Most of the village got swept away. He stays up all night doing sword drills and reflecting on all those souls lost. He Yan guards over him through the night and then hugs him after assuring him as a general he had no other option and he had done the best he could. There are times when the extent of a soldier’s grief is truly only understood by another soldier. She understood his grief as a fellow commander and this was a healing and sorrow sharing hug. Her being a girl was a fringe benefit, but it was shared grief of being responsible for mass casualties. This is the toughest cross for a soldier to bear when civilians are included in the death toll. She ends her hug by collapsing and both of them being chastised by Dr Cheng.😂 They cannot decipher the encrypted message until she notes the sulfur smell and they both yell ginseng soup. They eyeball each other because this technique was exclusive to his father’s training. She is rolling her eyes in her mind because she can’t just say your dad personally taught me this technique. She gives books credit and he lets it go. There is a date and meeting set up. They do not know if real or fake intel but the technique itself revealed that one of their own wrote the message. One officer they thought dead is the best possible option of who, because there was a very limited number of people that knew how. It ends with a flashback of Chu finding a man collapsed on the street. They take him in to get him help and find out he is from the Xiao army. He is tailing them closely but not including himself with them. The deputy general Chai Anxi.
