THIS IS GETTING SO GOOD 🔥

The reveal behind the poisoning at the Garden Party was so much more tragic than I could have ever thought. I think what I love the most about these mysteries is watching it click for Maomao and STILL have no idea what's going on in her mind lol. She notices tiny things everyone else overlooks. The taste of something, the placement of an object, a strange reaction to honey. She pulls on each thread until the hidden story finally comes loose. It's so genius and entertaining to watch.Then we find out that Maomao's DAD used to work in the rear palace!?He was the physician who delivered Ah-Duo's baby.It makes Maomao's connection to this place feel even deeper than before.."What a strange twist of fate."But Fengming and the honey was heartbreaking to unfold. She loved Ah-Duo so deeply, yet years ago she unknowingly gave honey to her infant not realizing how dangerous it could be.. Such a small, innocent mistake became something she could never take back. I'm honestly surprised she could carry that guilt and secret with her all of these years without absolutely breaking, knowing the woman she devoted her life to had lost her child because of something she had done. She wasn't a monster.. She was just stuck in a wave of guilt, love, and one terrible mistake that led her to her own execution in the end.But let's talk about how much Ah-Duo and Jinshi look alike!? And Maomao's head cannon that MAYBE Ah-Duo and the Empress Dowager's babies were swapped?Honestly.. It makes so much sense.Jinshi is NOT who he says he is. He had a drink with Ah-Duo on the night before she left.He has so many ties to upper ranking figures, including the salt drinking Admiral..Then he BUYS out Jinshi with enough Gold to make Granny blush???Hmmmmmmm. 👀I can't wait to watch more next week!

If you care for spoilers I’d recommend not watching the opening for the second half of the season

Ben

Omg they just announced season 3 is dropping at the beginning of October! You picked such a good time to get into this series :))

Clearing up why Jinshi fired Maomao in that last episode, subtitles in italics were internal thoughts, very little was actually spoken between them. They both operated on assumptions. Edit: Oh, you realized that in the end. I commented a bit early.

The most direct-indirect kiss I have possibly seen. Also, it always cracks me up that her pimp slap on the lady-in-waiting made her annual retrospective highlight reel.

Enea

Maomao the type of person to uncover the secrets of the universe then say “i shouldn’t speak on speculations” and not tell anyone

Usagi

Thank you as always 🥰

Dooly

Considering who Jinshi (supposedly) is, I doubt he’s a eunuch.

With football in season I’d recommend Remember The Titans. Probably the greatest football movie

Awesome reaction, Kali! You are asking all the right questions! Btw, Chinese foot binding was a custom that involved tightly wrapping and breaking the feet of young girls to restrict growth. The practice created "lotus" feet which were roughly 3 to 4 inches long. This was done because small feet was considered beautiful and fashionable. Foot binding lasted for nearly a thousand years before it was banned in 1912. Also, Ah Duo is pronounced "daw" not due-oh (the pair of things word). Like paw or law but with a "d."

One of the little things I really love about this story is the friendship between Maomao and Xiaolan. It’s not relevant to the plot (at least as far as I know), but does a great job at fleshing out Maomao’s character even more. I personally would not expect Maomao to enjoy the company of an extremely bubbly airhead this much and they are just so sweet together.

PG Modehouse

I remember when I first watched episode 11, I was mind blown LOL. I had SO MANY QUESTIONS... from why Maomao's timeline doesn't make sense, since Jinshi looks like he's in his early 20s, but also why would someone with such hypothetical elevated rank, castrate themselves to become a Eunuch and work as Head Officer in the Rear Palace? Actually maybe those are the reasons why Maomao decides to abandon the theory. Is it a legit lead or is it just a red herring, similar to how the show previously implied Ah-Duo was behind Lishu's poisoning? This show is so good at giving the audience both, to keep us all guessing.

LOL yessss the highlight reel

kaliwali

That sounds so painful :( And noooo! I was saying her name wrong the entire time lol. Thank you!

kaliwali

YES! Allllll of the questions and things that could match up but... do they really? I never saw the poisoning storyline going there. Such good writing!

Howie

No worries Asian names are tricky! If you really want to make sure you are pronouncing the names correctly, you might have to listen to the dub once in a while just to make sure.

Robert da Spruce

Dang! Living in the palace is pretty treacherous 😳 There’s definitely more to Jinshi than we’re being told. And who would have thought Maomao’s father would be so closely intertwined with the palace Very intriguing show! Keeps you on your toes. Can’t wait to see what happens next!

DreadPirateRob

So.... if Maomao is right, and Jinshi is one of the babies that was born on the day her father was the court physician, then that makes Jinshi either, the emperor's little brother, or the emperor's oldest son... In either case, he certainly would not be a Eunuch, right? Interesting twist. Also, Maomao is adopted right? Her father definitely would have been a Eunuch. (I think she even mentions that in an earlier episode.)

PsyghKick

Oooor it's a red herring

Willaim Norton

So Lishu (14 year old virtuous consort) is in the rear palace for protection and out of pity. She will have a much larger part in season 3 which will explain her situation and why the Emperor is a decent man for making her a concubine

Narasa ja

I just realized from YouTube that you're reacting to this show, so I just joined! I'm so happy you're covering it. Your analysis of the last 12 episodes shows you really understand what the author is going for. I love this series so much and I literally can't wait for your next reaction.

FinalMasterM

I couldn't wait for the uploads on Youtube, so I'm here now!
