#cdrama #ThePrincessRoyal final thoughts

Enjoyed this one, even rating it a 9.5/10. The final story arc was a little weaker than it could have been, but it stuck the landing.

Given a second chance at your adult life, knowing what you knew from the first time around, leaves scars but also opportunities. How to trust the new timeline - which differs from the old - while still having those 20 years of lived experience? Same faces, but just different enough... and you didn't know the whole story!

I think Rongqing's plan is to undermine Li Rong's current power structure and trust in the people around her.

She is reverting to not telling Pei Wenxuan her thoughts again, which is only going to fuck everything for her.

I hope she is just pretending to follow along with Rongqing's plan and is secretly not falling for it. 🥺

#cdrama #ThePrincessRoyal

I was right! Kind of! It was the crown prince PLUS Su Rongqing and Shangguan Ya? Wow. And even after Chuan killed the entire Su clan and castrated Rongqing, Rongqing still teamed up with him for murder?

How did Rongqing die. 🤔

What a wild wild winter festival.

I've never seen the lion dance be an actual battle! On pikes above water! And there's a ball to capture maybe? I always thought it was just a dance...

#cdrama #ThePrincessRoyal

I think Pei Wenxuan is learning how to love Li Rong by stealing all of Su Rongqing's moves from the previous timeline! But he's still not willing to be vulnerable and honest enough to tell her clearly, without the cowardly "jokes," that he loves her. THAT is his major fault.

I think maybe it was the Crown Prince who poisoned Li Rong in the previous timeline? Maybe?

#cdrama #ThePrincessRoyal

Wow, the rant Li Rong just had in the Pei ancestral hall! I bet it felt fucking great to totally let loose and pull rank and tell those jerks exactly what she thinks of them.

The middle-manager-for-four-years in me just sits back and cringes and *knows* she just made a room full of enemies plus a network of enemies they are connected to.

And the audacity of doing that as a young woman?

Shit, girl. You might be killed sooner than last time.
