At this point, the Big Reveal didn't catch me by surprise. With all the hinting, it was either going to be the patient or the nurse. Since the patient vanished and the nurse acted in such a manner, I fully expected it to be her.Now that we get this reveal, the only disappointing part about it is that she's a legit killer & psycho, but has been working, it seems, for years at a psychiatric hospital, that didn't properly vet its employees. The idea that someone that psycho can hold it in and not once show any whackjob signs is, well to put is simply, slim and none. That's not including the injures she suffered, and how she escaped the situation, to get plastic surgery, etc.So, the idea that she's the one is a little disappointing and/or weak writing because the plausibility factor of it all is just, not good.

Five Stars

Guess it is just gonna have every episode end this way. Too bad. It's unnecessary cliché. =/Almost the entirety of this particular episode was a trigger for me in some form or fashion. I cried through it for the most part, while the other part just made me feel a bit uncomfortable.It's not a bad thing. The way things are written is actually pretty on point for a lot of emotional issues. I think, so far, every person that's watched to this point, likely had some scene that brought up an emotional memory or whatnot relatable to it. Likely people, who aren't ready to deal with certain things, got too uncomfortable and probably dropped the drama here because of it.I think folks might walk into this thinking "cute and quirky rom-com" when it's really so much more than that. In that case, I'm certain by this point in the drama, they wouldn't be enjoying it. However, I'm actually enjoying it because it's not just that. I'm pleasantly surprised even if quite a few characters annoy the hell out of me. I'm gathering they're supposed to be right about now. ;)

No Forgiveness

I've never been so irritated at one self righteous character as I have in this drama by Zewu Jun. Wangji was beaten with 300 lashes and stuffed into the Lan Cloud Recesses cave for 3 years for 1,000,000x less poor behavior.Thousands of dead, lies, decent, all of it! Why is Zewu Jun even listening to this man??? Why is he even feeling sorry for him??? What about Wei Wu Xian???? Have you asked for forgiveness for all the wrong thoughts and actions you committed towards an INNOCENT person? Is there NOT at least 1 rule of the 3000 in Cloud Recesses Laws regarding this kind of behavior? Does he not deserve even MORE consideration for how POORLY he was treated??? YOU GUYS KILLLED HIM!!!I will never understand this kind of ego that can stubbornly hold certain people to their hard and fast rules, yet set it aside for someone that helps them feel self righteously superior AND good. There's a difference between true sacrifice you do silently expecting nothing in return and trying to look pious and upright for the sake of outward appearances and infamy.

Yanli, One More Time, is Everything!

Yanli is the most beautiful female character, inward and out. This is how a female lead should be drawn! Her kindness, compassion, and love are incomparable. Even if The Peacock finally fell in love with her, with his personality, and family background, he doesn't deserve her. Wuxian was right!Yanli & Wen Ning's interactions are just so amazingly pure! How could anyone watch this and not just feel like they cut a batch of onions!?If only Jiang Cheng didn't need his sister as a buffer between him and Wuxian. If only he could set down his pride for even one moment before being prodded by his sister.As I said before, she is the balance. She is the glue that holds the family together. Without her, all interactions are pure chaos!

Good As Bad As Evil?

This is the episode in which Wangji’s entire world is rocked. He’s sat on the side, together with Wuxian, and seeing the arrogance, the ambition, the selfishness, the deceitfulness, and the pretense of being good while doing evil acts. He now realizes everything he once held true and valid is made up of bullshit. That given certain circumstances, even without a Yin Iron shard, they’d be just as evil as Wen Ruohan.Then there is Wuxian, who steadies his heart, mind, & soul to harsh all the wretched bitterness for something good and pure. He can’t be bothered with the petty egotism of these cruel people who think a caste system is just and upright.

Yanli is Everything Sweet

Jiang Cheng hasn't changed one bit in all these years, and Yanli is the glue that holds this family together.It's not so much the stories you hear but the fact that you know they'll never experience this kind of joy ever again that just keeps on ripping your heart out.The sacrifices that Wuxian continues to make over and over for the sake of his family is mind numbing. That he never seeks approval or appreciation, only just to be able to have his family safe and sound. He's even sacrifice being with them until the end if it means they're in a better place, no matter what dark, cold place he himself ends up in.I know that Jiang Cheng's bad temper is all pretense, but I still can't help feeling like I eat a piece of fish and got a small bone stuck in my mouth. It's the acting on pretenses that has cased problems for all the elders of every clan. It's not like these dudes cannot see that themselves. That Jiang Cheng is fine just being the same always irks me to no end. He hurts especially bad knowing the things he's being given merely because he refuses to put down the pretenses in the first place. It just feels so beyond selfish, even if he doesn't understand completely just HOW selfish he is. !!!
