Eva Stratt had said "We only need three. A pilot, an engineer and a scientist."

And then, that's all there was. A pilot (Mary, the ship). An engineer (Rocky, the alien). A scientist (Grace, the human).

No more. No less. Just three.

Congrats to The First Jasmine on being the first Bai Lu drama I completed, at least you have that going for you sweetie

[mrsreidetall]

The First Jasmine started off so well, so intriguing and captivating but then it just... idk fell off for me?

The first (and hopefully only) time I was so unconvinced by the romance that I wished they were platonic partner in crimes instead of being married (oh the horrors of saying this sentence)

Idk why but they just didn't convince me of their love, was it the acting or writing or story or direction idk rn (since I JUST finished it) but yeah

[mrsreidetall]

They really won't let poor Duke Hua retire in peace huh, that old man is on his deathbed trying to save this fuckass kingdom 😭😭😭 let him go in peace like 🙏🙏🙌🙌🥲🥲

Ep 39 of The First Jasmine:

we are at the penultimate episode of a historical cdrama which means we are at the very important juncture known as the free-for-all bloodbath special.

Who will love? Who will die? Who will be saved in the nick of time? Who will die saving someone else? Who will watch their loved one die? Who will wait for their loved one with their dying breath?

(I can't wait to see all the murders since I don't really care for anyone)

ETA: Never fucking mind I guess???

[mrsreidetall]

Umm why tf is Mo Xiuyao wasting time reminiscing and crying when he should be on the fastest horse to Lishan??? Bitch get fuckin moving

[hannametsola]

He is in charge of that prefecture. He cannot leave without permission from the Emperor

He is a Lord but also a goverment employee

[mrsreidetall]

Yes I saw that later on, I still stand by the fact that it could have all been moved up one day--he could have jumped into action instead of falling apart

BUT it did give time for a new look reveal so I see that 😌

[mrsreidetall]

Ye Ying (rebellious Prince Li's wife) (The First Jasmine) was really drawn from the same brush as Princess Feng Xiyang (Fated Hearts) (at least early her)

both naive and fucking things up in the name of love whole the man a) doesn't deserve shit and b) is passively fucking her life cause he don't even care enough to actively fuck it up

[mrsreidetall]

So they didn't send Mo Xiuyao initially for health/family/power reasons but now when they realised they fell into a trap and fucked up, they are sending him to clean up their mess??? this fickle ass court

[mrsreidetall]

Umm why tf is Mo Xiuyao wasting time reminiscing and crying when he should be on the fastest horse to Lishan??? Bitch get fuckin moving

[mrsreidetall]

Wait so Prince Ding Mo Xiuyao's whole issue isn't the mother-decree situation but that she came to him out of guilt, married him out of pity, and was forcing herself to stay in this marriage?? So he freedom her from the bonds of said marriage?????

Boy you crazy????

Spencer watching Henry grow knowing the older Henry gets the more likely that he is the closest thing to a kid he’ll ever have

[mrsreidetall]

Spencer seeing JJ and Morgan have kids and he's so happy but also, late at night, he just wonders when it will be him, if it will ever be him, if he even deserves to be a father

[mrsreidetall]

The First Jasmine is one of the very few times I support keeping secrets because it is so well written

like of course Ye Li has such a debilitating fear of being abandoned, of course she will do everything she can to avoid it

[mrsreidetall]

Okay but Cheng Lei is not allowed to talk about the moon/utter the words 'Yue Liang' with anyone ever again, this is a LotFG Xiao Jue×He Yan term only, moons don't exist for him anymore anywhere else I said what I said

[mrsreidetall]

(not trynna be a hater or anything but The First Jasmine really isn't hitting as a romance drama 😬😬

like it's well written and fun and Ye Li is MOTHER but like... what's Mo Li about it?)
