adopted bro is unhinged, goading his political rival into killing him
the politician, usually grinning, simpering, and bribing his way to victory, is uncharacteristically grim and more than happy to oblige him
meanwhile, cheng ao is cool as a cucumber, calling his bluff to protect his lil bro

two beautiful character arcs entwining as star-crossed lovers
and in the end, they choose to shed their identities as general li and prince annan, respectively, and live a simple life on their own terms
together ❤️
romance-writing at it's finest... just don't think abt the plot too hard 😆

so it feels earned that after being so physically tough for her whole life, we see that it's when she's heartbroken, beaten down, and the softest/girliest we've ever seen her, that she's also the toughest and more mentally resilient she's ever been, running circles around DAD

similarly, li shuang's arc of being the historical version of the perfect strong career woman, and then gradually letting herself be flawed (esp with her lil bro), and a little girly feels relatable
seeing her finally be selfish and accept that her dad's love was without strings was incredible

so it's fitting that once all of his jin'an memories return, DAD chooses to shed all of his royal, violent trappings and follow his heart

we see it also in DAD's undying love and loyalty for his older brother, the emperor.
DAD's diva antics were also foreshadowed with jin'an's high food and clothing standards and the fact that DAD invaded lucheng bc he was impressed by those yummy grapes 😂

meanwhile, jin'an is DAD's soft center, his true self beneath that protective exterior. we see it in the way he sneaks honey into li shuang's medicine and makes sure she eats, in the way he plays the qin and sneaks her candy and falls through the roof for her (LMAO)

this show's strength is in the character arcs and relationships
i love what they did with jin'an/duan aodeng. in hindsight, jin'an and the man in black are just different sides of duan aodeng. man in black is the protective, ruthless, hyperviolent shell that DAD developed from growing up as a royal

the screencaps don't do it justice
it's scene you have to watch from beginning to end
hell--it's a series that needs binge watching so the full force of these last episodes hit like a metric fuckton
literally could not breathe at all
10/10 no notes

+ the follow through as duan ao deng leaves and you almost can't take your eyes off him bc he's like an injured animal and you don't know what he'll do next
but bc this drama is SO GOOD, we get to see it--he confronts his lying liar of a minion and it's cathartic + character-building + incredible

and then the directing allows the entire scene to breathe, making it feel like the best breathless eternity
we can see the journey the characters go on as li shuang stabs him (!!!) with the hairpin jin'an gave her (!!!!!!!!!) and she finally admits the truth "you look like him, but you're not him"

song yi is equally amazing. she's heartbroken, she loves him, she wants him to remember, but not at the cost of herself

cheng lei is magnetic here, conveying ruthlessness and vulnerability and agony and desperation before, during, and after the forced kiss
you can tell duan ao deng takes no pleasure in this. he just needs to know for himself
