Bai Hua Sha 百花杀 (2026) ; dir. Zhong Qing, Guo Feng Fan Shuai Qi as Bu Shu Lin

I’ve already seen clips of the second couple’s fade to black kiss from today’s episode, but I had thought the kiss/probable hookup was happening at Bu Shulin’s mansion. You mean to tell me they’re getting it on at a restaurant/tea house/courtesan house/whatever place it is? In public? Where anyone could walk in at any time and see what they are doing? Congrats to those two freaks, lol.

#blossoms of power

I think my favorite cdrama trope is when people fall off mountains/cliffs and survive.

For Blossoms of Power, why wasn’t Xiao Huayong wearing gloves when he was climbing up that mountain? Probably would have made things easier for him.

Catching up on the past 5 episodes and I’m going to be pissed if Princess Lingyun is dead for real. If Qin Chang can survive an assassination attempt from his father’s trained main henchman assassin, then Princess Lingyun can survive an assassination attempt from her maidservant. If she stays dead at the end of the show, it’ll be that one big thing that doesn’t make the show be top tier for me.

It’s interesting to see people say that they don’t feel like Ye Li loves Mo Xiuyao the way that he loves her. I don’t see that at all. Ye Li knows that Mo Xiuyao’s brother was executed because of her father and his family. And she knows that Mo Xiuyao very likely would have a hard time looking at Ye Li in the same way once he finds out the truth. There’s also the fact that she wants to set things right about Mo Xiuyao’s brother and get revenge on people that wronged her mother and Mount Lishan. Ye Li isn’t going to let herself be vulnerable and fully feel and express her affection towards Mo Xiuyao until those things are accomplished. Now, obviously he’s going to break her walls down sooner than that, but Ye Li isn’t planning for that to happen.

Mo Xiuyao is obviously very horrified at Ye Li hallucinating Qingshuang and he thinks it’s from shock of traveling from Mount Lishan all alone and leaving Qingshuang behind. Just imagine how much more he’ll be horrified when he learns the whole truth and that Ye Li has been on the mountain by herself for who knows how long. Ye Li has obviously been making it seem like people are still alive because she’s had to create that illusion for herself to survive, but who would even think of that being a possibility?

Just caught up on The First Jasmine and I’m obsessed. I just love the exploration of the effects of trauma, both the physical aspects through Mu Xiuyao and the psychological aspects through both Mu Xiuyao and Ye Li but the effects of Ye Li’s psychological trauma is way more severe. Ye Li is such a fascinating character with how her trauma fractured her and made her unaware of all her various protective mechanisms. I’ve seen people saying Ye Li has schizophrenia or dissociative identity disorder and out of the two of them, I’d say dissociative identity disorder because Ye Li’s brain has created different identities that come out for various reasons as a result of her trauma, which is what dissociative identity disorder is.

I really love the hints and slow peeling back of the traumas Ye Li experienced. I’m very curious as to how long Ye Li was alone on Lishan Mountain. It seems like it was for a while, which is why Ye Li’s brain split into different parts to help her be able to manage the intense loneliness, which is really sad.

this scene kicked off one of the most charged sequences of the drama so far and it's gorgeous.

the more we see of qingshuan, the more i think that in addition to being an obvious sign of traumatic grief she acts as our glimpse into ye li's internal dialogue. the contrast between ye li's contained affect compared to qingshuan weeping, when just seconds before ye li was clearly very emotional about the blank page. qingshuan incongruously says she's not sad and tells ye li to not be afraid. i can't help but think that inside, ye li feels like a scared and lonely little girl.

i love that we get these glimpses into ye li's deeper psyche. we know she's messed up for reasons we can't stop speculating about, but have you thought about how re-traumatizing all of this is for her? basically manifesting her mother's ghost while she's haunted by so many more. of course she's afraid.

this image was beautiful also, the two of them facing each other but also standing so far apart; ye li holding an unlit lantern while qingshuan is spotlit by an almost otherworldly glow:

more visual stunningness when she walks out into the stormy night, just begging for a gifmaker's deft touch:

the ost was perfect, too!

Caught up on the last two episodes and Mundo is soooooo boring as a villain. Go touch some grass. You’re a rich chaebol. You’ll still live a nice rich life if Segye inherits everything. Maybe you’d be happier if you stopped being obsessed with someone who wants nothing to do with you.
