The drama is set at the Korean Metrological Administration (KMA).
Jin Ha Kyung work fir KMA as a weather forecaster, She s set to marry Han Ki Joon in a month’s time but still her mother was doing everything to make her see ‘sense’
Her mother thinks Han Ki Joon was not good enough for Ha Kyung.
Ha Kyung dropped by Ki Joon’s apartment when she learned that he was under the weather🤣.
On her way back to the office, she was told that hales are expected.
She looked up at the sunny sky and she did not believe it.
It did happen and it created chaos among unsuspecting travelers.
Heads had to role at KMA for their inability of predicting the weather.
Director Choi got so hot and bothered, he had a heart attack.
In the same afternoon, there was another prediction of bad weather.
As Director Choi was in the hospital, Ha Kyung was temporarily made at the Director who got to decide whether to issue weather warnings.
Lee Shi Woo, who earlier predicted the hale had reported that there will be strong rain shower over the metropolis.
Ha Kyung tend to ignore his warning because it has only 5 percent probability. But then neighbourhood forecaster, Shin Seok Ho went ahead and issued a weather warning as he was convinced by Lee Shi Woo of what lies ahead.
Ha Kyung went to speak to Shin Seok Ho determined to give him a piece of her mind but he said she ignored his report of hale.
So Ha Kyung went to speak instead to Lee Shi Woo who would not take any of her bullshit and cost-saving ideas. It happened that it rain when they were still arguing which was getting personal because Lee Shi Woo said that her brain is not 100 percent on the weather. Her wedding is interfering with her job.
Ha Kyung was getting upset and feeling a little guilty because he was right. In fact, she had to turn off her phone because she was getting so many calls about her wedding.
On her way home, she finally checked her phone and saw that Han Ki Joon had not put any deposit to any of the wedding plans that had been canceled.
She decided to see Han Ki Joon in his apartment but found him otherwise engaged in bed with another woman.
Well, the wedding was off but Han Ki Joon was a bastard. He took appliances from there would be marital house. Because he felt guilty cheating on her and jilting her, he offered that she could have the house but now he wanted them to sell the house and get 50/50 after he found out the house price had gone up the roof.
Episode 2
Ha Kyung found out that she almost married a scammer.
It turned out Lee Shi Woo’s live-in girlfriend was the one sleeping with Han Ki Joon.
Han Ki Joon had now married Yoo-Jin.
In order not to make it awkward of Ha Kyung to be always in the vicinity of her cheating ex, her boss told her that she could go to Switzerland for a year.
Ha Kyung turned this down because she thought why should she when she had just been promoted as a director.
Ha Kyung’s sister called her to say that they received a certificate of content from Han Ki Joon against Ha Kyung’s house.
This drove Ha Kyung mad and confronted Han Ki Joon at work. She told him that he had scammed her of money and he would not be getting 50/50 of the sale of the house because his contribution was only about 7%.
Their workmate was aghast how low Han Ki Joon had gotten.
Meanwhile, Lee Shi Woo invited Ha Kyung for a drink after work. After so many sake, they drunkenly kissed and had consensual sex but Ha Kyung was shocked when she woke up with him the next morning.
She told him that they had just to forget what happened.
Episode 3
Han Ki Joon and Yoo Jin’s honeymoon’s period is over quickly after they found that they have different ways of dealing with household chores.
Han Ki Joon likes a tidy house and quickly realised that he married a slapper, who leaves her clothes and knickers in every available surface and the washing up undone.
Meanwhile, Ha Kyung and Shi Woo are getting along fine if rather awkwardly.
One day Shi Woo asked Ha Kyung if she likes him which rather shocked Ha Kyung with a point-blank query.
Shi Woo explained that he would like to know if she likes him because it would be pointless if it would be a one-sided relationship. Ahhh
So he more or less confessed to her already. So cute.
Episode 4
Ha Kyung and Shi Woo are secretly dating. They agreed that as soon as their relationship is found out, they will break up amicably.
Episode 5
Ha Kyung and Shi Woo would have been happy and content but their exes keep getting in the way.
And then they met in a motel; Shi Woo was just coming out of the place while Ha Kyung was checking in a drunk Eom Dong Han for the night. This accidental meeting created a misunderstanding between them.
Episode 6
Ha Kyung asked Shi Woo to break up because she had had enough of men letting her down. Anyway, he confessed that he was meeting his father at the motel.
His father was a gambler and when Shi Woo refused to give him any more money, his father who spotted Shi Woo talking to Ha Kyung went to find Ha Kyung at KMA to ask her for money because he gleaned that she was going out with Shi Woo and being a director, she must be remunerated handsomely. So he asked her for 10Million won.
Ha Kyung’ sister and been calling her to tell her that their mother was unwell. But Ha Kyung got used to her mother pretending to be sick to get her own well but this time her mother was taken to the hospital.
As a civil servant, she put her job before personal life so she told her subordinates that she will go to the hospital in the morning. But they assured her that they will look after the weather and if it got bad they will call her.
She went to her mother and looked after her together with her sister.
Shi Woo meanwhile went to see his father to give him his whole savings of 10Million won. His father said that he was right going to Director Jin, she was able to make Shi Woo into giving him money.
Shi Woo was totally at how brazen his father was when he ascertained that he went to Ha Kyung to ask for money.
He begged his father to leave him alone from now on.
Shi Woo went to wait at the car park for Ha Kyung.
Ha Kyung saw his hound dog look so she invited him for dinner in her apartment. He was so apologetic about his father but then she told him that her father was no better.
She found him hanging when she came back from school she was still very young. Because his business was going bankrupt he decided to kill himself.
Ha Kyung told Shi Woo that she would like them to live together.
On the other hand, Ki Joon and Yoo Jin were having problems with their relationship. Ki Joon had asked Yoo Jin to register their marriage so they could get a loan and buy their own house but Yoo Jin said that she would like to postpone registering their marriage until further notice.
Episode 7
Shi Woo turned down Ha Kyung’s proposal of living together. He said that he had done it before and it ended terribly for him. He wanted them to get to know each other slowly but surely.
Meanwhile, Ki Joon was devastated when he found out that Yoo Jin was living with someone else prior to their engagement ceremony. He realised he made a mistake letting Ha Kyung go.
The ending was comical. Ki Joon got confused when he drunkenly visited Ha Kyung in the apartment which would have been their marital home when he saw Shi Woo, Shin Seok Ho and Eom Dong Han were also there.
Episode 8
Ki Joon became suspicious of Ha Kyung already dating someone so he followed her and saw her on a date with Shi Woo.
Shocking.
Episode 9
Ki Joon was so shocked he told Yoo Jin immediately who said that Oppa can be unpredictable which only shocked the already shocked Kijoon. He can’t believe that Yoo Jin was calling Shi Woo ‘Oppa’
Meanwhile, Ha Kyung and Shi Woo were not having a good time.
Shi Woo asked what would Ha Kyung like to do during their weekend free from work? A movie, a drive, going for a workout, grocery shopping?!!!
Ha Kyung who was rather distracted said yes to everything rather half-heartedly. She was still thinking about the proposal cake which was mistakenly delivered to their table. Shi Woo looked so shocked in rather a bad way which shocked Ha Kyung in a very disappointed way.
So now Shi Woo was upset that she was lucklustre in everything that he was suggesting that they should do.
As they talked more, Ha Kyung realised that Shi Woo thinks that marriage is the graveyard of love. He said that marriage is suffocating.
Ki Joon continues to obsess and even forget that he and Yoo Jin were supposed to go dinner with his mother as it was her birthday.
Ki Joon spent time with Shi Woo looking at the weather. He found that Shi Woo is actually a good guy so he asked Yoo Jin why she broke up with a good guy?
Yoo Jin said that it was because he never wanted marriage.
Ha Kyung also asked Yoo Jin why she broke up with Shi Woo?
As Yoo Jin said to Ki Joon, she told Ha Kyung that Shi Woo doesn’t want to ever get married. He is phobic of marriage.
Meanwhile, Lee Hyang Rae saw her husband, Eom Dong Han, looking all contented with Ha Kyung and they were going to the apartment building.
Episode 10
Ha Kyung was now certain that Shi Woo has no intention of getting married. This got so stressful for her because her mother is determined to see her married and forcing her to go on blind dates.
Her mother was aghast to find that she was living with men though she was told that it was only temporary because of their work where the weather is so mercurial and they had to work closely almost night and day.
Anyway, her mother still insisted that she gets married so she screamed to her mother that she will never going to get married, ever.
This crashed her mother.
Shi Woo walked Ha Kyung’s mother out and told her that Ha Kyung was just overwrought and does not mean what she said. The mother said that she knew her daughter, she really made a decision to be single all her life.
Ha Kyung was told by the chief to send someone to Jeju Island to monitor the weather. She looked at her crew and sadly Shi Woo is the most suitable to go.
So she told him that he had to go to Jeju Island.
Meanwhile, Yoojin left Ki joon to think things over.
Episode 11
This episode is too self-indulgent. It is about me, me, me thing. Think of the weather, people;
Anyway, Shi Woo went to Jeju Island where he met Yoojin who brought him to the hospital when he was blown up by an explosive that affected his eyes.
Ha Kyung felt guilty about it because she had been keeping a secret for the longest time. She did not understand his gripe at first but having spoken to Ki-joon, it made her realised that what ShiWon was telling her was also an exact copy of what Ki-joon told her of what he made him feel when they were still together. He was always a poor second every time to her work.
Meanwhile Bo Mi, Dong Han’s daughter came for a second field trip to KWA where she met her very happy and excited father. He treated her at the KWA restaurant where she was overwhelmed by how popular and hardworking her father was.
She ate fried breaded har which did not go well with her. She ended up being taken to the hospital where her mother and father met. Her mother blamed Dong Han for forgetting that their daughter was allergic to processed food.
Anyway, his wife was about to serve him with divorce papers.
Oh Mung Joo was getting fed up with shouldering everything in their house while her husband takes a year off to study to pass the civil exam. So she rebelled and went to the team dinner as a bon voyage to Shi Woo who was going to Jeju Island. Instead of going home to take over from her mother-in-law to look after the children, she told the mother-in-law to ask her son to childmind for once.
Before, Shi Woo went to Jeju, Ha Kyung’s mother secretly met Shi Woo to ask if there is a chance that Ha Kyung and the man in 1302, Shin Seok Oh could get together.
Shi Woo was very adamant that it would never happen.
The mother was rather surprised that Shi Woo was very resolute about it. She started looking at him in a different way.
Episode 12
Ha Kyung brought Shi Woo’s father to see him at the hospital at Jeju Island. It was not only traumatic but utterly embarrassing for Shi Woo to see his money-grabbing father who was going berserk asking for compensation for Ha Kyung’s accident with the blowing weather balloon.
Shi Woo was annoyed that Ha Kyung brought his father with her.
Feeling unworthy, he tried to break up with Ha Kyung.
Episode 13
Ha Kyung broke up with him instead. Unfortunately, their relationship had reached the head office.
And also Ha Kyung’s mother who had an inkling that there is something going on between her daughter and Shi Woo, searched Ha Kyung’s house from inch to inch and found a couple of intimate selfies of the two.
Poor Myung Joo found out that while she was slogging to earn money and look after the children, her husband who was supposed to be studying was going out with his friends enjoying themselves.
Her husband said that he was stressed with studying which made Myung Joo see red. She told him that he had three choices, go back to work, get a divorce or study as if his life depends on it
Dong Han was advised by Ha Kyung to do everything to change his wife mind about getting a divorce. He went to beg his wife to give him at least three months that he could be a better husband and if within the three months she had not changed her mind then she can divorce him.
Shin Seok Ho and Tae Kyung had started dating.
Kijoon and Yoo Jin had reconciled though they were still awkward with one another. It looks like Yoo Jin is pregnant.
Episode 14
Kijoon was dumbfounded when Yoojin told him that she was 12 weeks pregnant. Kijoon called Ha Kyung immediately to tell her the news.
Ha Kyung listened to him and then told him that she thinks that he was actually glad that Yoojin was having a baby.
Having sorted his head, he went home and prepared a surprise for Yoojin.
Yoojin met up with Shi Woo. She told him that she was pregnant but rather upset by the lukewarm reaction from Kijoon.
Shi Woo observed that it looks like Yoojin really loves Kijoon.
When she went home she was surprised by balloons and flowers and laid out dinner table by Kijoon.
Kijoon hugged her to apologise for his reaction at lunchtime when she told him that she was pregnant.
Yoojin told him that she was not ready to have a baby and had made an appointment for termination.
Speaking of termination, ShiWoo prevented Ha Kyung from announcing that they have already broken up. Kijoon had told him that it would be bad and sad to see Ha Kyung being pitied by co-workers.
Meanwhile, Seok Ho and Tae Kyung were totally into each other. They always end up in bed.
Episode 15
Shi Woo’s father was in trouble with the police for getting cars to run over him and then he would ask for money.
The police came for him at the hospital but he was diagnosed with stomach cancer.
The sound of the fetus’ heartbeats overwhelmed Kijoon so much, he told Yoojin that they should keep the baby.
Dong Han missed his daughter’s birthday once again and in his guilt, he asked his wife for a divorce.
Seok Ho and Tae Kyung were caught in the act by Tae Kyung’s mother
Myung Joo seeing that her husband seemed suited to be a househusband told him that if he did not pass the exam, it would okay with her and told him that he looks good in apron.
Episode 16
It was a happy ending. I feel that his drama somehow lost its way. It was actually the analogy to the weather that made it rather boring. Too much weather and too little love.
Seok Ho begged Tae Kyung to return to him as he misses her terribly. He said that his heart was. broken, she was the only woman he had ever been with.
Dong Han’s wife went to see him at KMA and scolded him for begging to give him three months to prove himself to her and their daughter but only after a month he was asking for a divorce.
Dong Han said that he was no good as a father and a husband. They don’t want them anymore to suffer because of him.
His wife said that their daughter was not suffering, she enjoyed the posh dinner he booked for her birthday.
They made up and their daughter was happy.
However, it looks like Shi Woo was finally convinced to make an honest woman of Ha Kyung as the end of the drama was the couple running away from a restaurant where Ha Kyung’s mother and Shi Woo’s father were awkwardly waiting for them.
16 June 2021: Rumour has it that this drama will be released on 23rd June.
12 July 2021: this drama continues to get harangued by netizens for reasons that it was allegedly plagiarised from somewhere. Also it is deemed as an insult to E-Gamers becasue of the cute love stories. 😜 Apparently, a real E-gamer has only a little sleep, game, game, eat when he had to, game, game, game and more games. Also poor Cheng Xiao had been dragged into the fore as well for her acting.
23 October 2022: This drama remains to be popular. It has now become the first Chinese drama to be dubbed in Russian.
Episode 1
It has an exciting first episode with the super gorgeous cast. But I must say the new actor Zhai Xiao Wen captured my attention immediately. He is so cutely arrogant as Jian Yang.
Apparently, Jian Yang who was Tong Yao’s then-boyfriend taught her how to play computer games. He was such a good teacher that Tong Yao did not only come to love the games but actually excelled at it.
She tops games and her prowess got the attention of ZGDX who at that moment was looking for someone to replace Ming who had hurt his wrist.
Tong Yao cannot fully commit as she had to take into consideration of her parents’ opinion, especially her mother’s who said that she did not work her fingers to the bone to send her to a prestigious university and only to end up playing computer games after graduation.
Anyway, Tong Yao decided to attend the spring championship held at Onmyoji Arena. The championship was fought between Ck and ZGDX.
Tong Yao stayed at the Intercontinental Hotel. By the way, there were so many product placements in this drama. Tong Yao was wearing Balenciaga trainers, etc.
She was carrying her enormous bag of shopping when she noticed that she was on the elevator with her idol, Lu Sicheng who she found was rather standoffish.
The next day, it was the finals.
Jian Yang was the captain of CK and he was thrown off when he saw Tong Yao with her friend being the focus of the ‘kiss cam’
Due to this Jian Yang became disorientated in his team lot in the first match.
During the break, he waited for Tong Yao outside and told her that he had not contacted her because he was too busy with the game.
Tong Yao told him that it did not matter because they were over.
The second and final match was won by CK.
Ming knew that it was because of him that ZGDX lost because of him so at the end of the game, he announced that he was retiring.
The fans were crying for their hero.
Tong Yao confirmed to Rui of ZGDX that she would like to join the team.
Again, Jian Yang went to speak to Tong Yao and told her that if she really wanted to play professionally then he should join his team.
Tong Yao told him that she was not interested.
Their argument was heard by Sicheng who later commented to Jian Yang that what he overheard was interesting.
Episode 2
Tong Yao and Biscuit, her cat, had moved into ZGDX Gaming building.
Being a girl, her teammate assumed that she would be partial to pink, so her bedroom was decorated in everything pink with girl accessories.
She is too nice to say anything other than she really likes it, although she was rather bemused at the amount of pink tulle in the bedroom.
The boys also had to get used to a girl being in their ‘house’ and be more circumspect with their manner and outfit.
The fans of ZGDX were rather confused of a girl replacing Ming.
anyway, Ming did not completely retire from ZGDX, he had been appointed as the coach.
This episode was rather slow. I just wanted for Tong Yao to prove herself against her rather misogynist teammate that she’s an able player.
Episode 3
It trended amongst the gamers and fans the Legend of White Snake love triangle between Tong Yao, Jian Yang, and Sicheng.
Tong Yao had to explain in detail the nature of past and current relationship with Jian Yang.
She said that Jian Yang dropped out of university and not long after from her life because he got too sucked in in his new life as a professional gamer.
They had to break up because he absolutely had no time for her, not even answering her occasional text.
Now Jian Yang wanted to reconcile and start over but Tong Yao texted him that past is past and just move on.
Tong Yan started training under Ming. She showed them how good she was but not as a professional player. She has to learn teamwork.
This episode is getting better.
Episode 4
Tong Yan is not sure whether Sicheng is flirting with her but he does not like her talking to other male gamers.
Her parents came to visit unexpectedly.
Her mother said that she reckoned the gamer called Chessman was a bad man. But then Sicheng introduced himself to Tong Yao’s parents and they found that nothing is wrong with him. In fact, he was kind for allowing them to stay at the gaming centre.
Episode 5
What a turnaround. Tong Yao’s mother was suddenly encouraging her to go for the Chessman.
Tong Yao had started live-streaming. She had so many people curious about her.
Tai of TAT issued a challenge to ZGDX and would be targetting Tong Yao.
Sicheng told his group to ignore the challenge but Tong Yao said that they might as well play against TAT because they would sooner or later, and if she loses, she is prepared for it.
It was actually easier said than done because they did play against TAT and Tong Yao’s was incinerated. She was rather upset about it and her teammate including Sicheng could not say anything to cheer her up so they just left her alone to get over her sadness.
Episode 6
Tong Yao continues to mull over her defeat. She is heartbroken that her pride as the best Tamaguchi (hahaha whatever) player was proved untrue. She realised that there were better players and this was niggling at her.
She went out with Chen Jinyang to a bar and Ai Jia was there.
Ai Jia then called Jian Yang so he could look after the drunk Tong Yao while he has some time with his girlfriend Chen Jinyang.
But Chen Jinyang called Sicheng to come and collect Tong Yao.
Sicheng took control of the drunk Tong Yao and brought her back to ZGDX.
Tong Yan went into the basement to play but saw a strange boy. Thinking he was a ghost, she ran off to Sicheng who came looking for her. She jumped at him and clang like she would never let him go.
Anyway, the boy was Lu Yue who just came back from Africa. He said he was ready to resume playing with ZGDX.
Still drunk, Tong Yan started getting upset because she wanted to become a professional player and doesn’t want to be substituted by Lu Yue.
This drama is watchable and very easy to watch. It does not have the same gravitas as Go Go Squid,
Also Cheng Xiao has to improve her acting skill. Often she was either overacting or just reciting her lines.
Episode 7
Chubby blamed Lu Yue for Ming’s hurting his arm causing Ming to lose his flexibility in playing e-games.
Episode 8
Ai Jia saved the day when he did a Livestream explaining that the attack on ZGDX was premeditated.
A from the JX group actually tried to get more men to come to break the hands of all the ZGDX so Lu Yue actually saved the group.
Sicheng told Tong Yao that he doesn’t like her wearing too much makeup and even perfume.
Tong Yao was beginning to think that she was in love with Sicheng.
Episode 9
It was the photoshoot for ZGDX. The pictorial went well, so well that fans were shipping a love triangle. Sicheng and Tong Yao and Lu Yue and Tong Yao.
Sicheng and Lu Yue’s mother was worried that both her sons were fighting over the same girl. Lu Yue called his mother and assured her that he was not in a love triangle with his brother.
Anyway, the group was getting ready for the national competition. Ming and Rui arranged for the team to compete with other groups so they can evaluate who will play first, Lu Yue or Tong Yao.
The game against YQCB was surprisingly intense. Even Sicheng died twice. He said that Heirophant is back.
Sure enough, it was announced that Hierophant had joined YQCB.
Tong Yao wanted to know the gossip why Sicheng would instinctively know that Heirophant was back.
She was told that Sicheng was known as a shadow of Hierophant when they first started. They both joined TAT. The two have the same playing style and tactics.
Episode 10
This episode is mainly about Sicheng/Chessman when he was in South Korea and joined TAT where he met Hierophant.
It was Hierophant who gave him a break, it was Hierophant that allowed him to substitute for him in major tournaments until he became known himself.
Their friendship was testamented by a Rubik cube. Hierophant was an ace player of the cube which he can do with just one hand.
When Sichenng had finally decided to return to China where e-gaming was becoming really popular, Hierophant gave Sicheng his Rubik cube and told him that they will meet again one day and he can return the cube to him then.
And Sicheng did just that as Hierophant had joined the next-door gaming club, YQCB.
It was the day of the National League. Smiling was decided to be one of the five.
All her bravado had gone just before the start of the game against CK. In fact, she developed a stomach ache.
Chubby wanted to know if she was about to do a nervous fart but she said it was much worst. She will shit her pants.
🤪
Episode 11 Men & Period Pains
She did not shit her pants but according to her, she messed it up with blood as her menstruation arrived. 😝
Everyone in her team knew of it as she incessantly talked about it as if it an achievement better than their win against CK.
Smiling was the hero of the hour because she led the team to their win as Sicheng was rather lukewarm in his role as captain as he was combating a fever.
Sicheng/Chessman and Smiling opted to go back home to nurse their not-so-good conditions: fever and bad period pains.
Smiling was asked by Rui to look after Sicheng who usually refused to take medication for an illness.
It ended with Sicheng looking after Smiling especially when he found her double up in pain by the kitchen floor while she was making congee for them both.
Smiling remarked to Sicheng that he was being familiar with her, touching her in the tummy like it was all natural, she added that if they were living in Ancient times, he had to marry her.
Sicheng said that he would have married her 800 times in ancient times and divorce her 800 times.
After having some congee, Smiling insisted that it was really her turn to look after him and shooed him to his bedroom.
Later, when the rest of the team came back, Chubby was aghast at what he found at Sicheng’s bedroom.
Episode 12
The thing that shocked the team was that Smiling was in bed with the Chessman.
The team did tell the Chessman that having Smiling in his bedroom was out of order. It is not a decent thing.
Smiling, however, said that it was an end to a means. She told them that she was not feeling so good and was very cold so she jumped in bed with the feverish Chessman. 😜. That is logic.
Anyway, her sleeping habit did not only stayed within FGDX because while Smiling was live streaming, the Chessman interrupted and could not help mentioning that she had been sleeping in his bed.
Poor Jian Yang who was watching the live stream was livid with jealously. He jumped into a taxi and went to see Smiling.
He begged Smiling to get back together and there was a flashback of how they first met as children and grew up as childhood sweethearts. I must say that they do have a lot of cute chemistry.
Smiling said that they have grown apart and they can’t get back to where they were once. All they can be now were just friends.
As she would not change her mind, Jian Yang agreed to be friends but asked her to remove him from her blacklist which she did immediately. He then asked to have a final hug as friends.
Then they parted.
The Chessman saw the hugged and quizzed Smiling if she had gotten back with Jian Yang. She told him no and he was satisfied.
While flirting with her, he told her that they have a major tournament coming and therefore having a romantic relationship is banned.
Episode 13
Smiling can’t sleep because she kept fantasizing about marrying Chessman. To calm herself, she started watching gameplays of the Kings, their next opponent.
Her research was so impressive that they decided to use the tactics she devised based on her research.
And sure enough, it worked They won pretty straightforward against the KING.
She found the jaunter of the KING crying by the stairways. She can’t help but try to comfort him. She told him that they had not won easily against the KING. They worked very hard and spent many sleepless nights researching the KING.
The boy was mollified by her chat.
Meanwhile, Sicheng was waiting for her just outside and told her that she has a habit of collecting captains from teams. So he was jealous.
Episode 14
Smiling got so much confidence from playing against the KING so she told Sicheng that she was ready to play again against Tai of TAT.
After confirming with her that she was truly ready, Sicheng arranged a match with Tai.
It was a ferocious game, it got so bad that it was left to Smiling to win the game. They kept telling her that there is no shame in losing.
But she was so determined, she put everything she’s got with some encouragement from Sicheng.
Tai was defeated and she blew up the TAT fortress which won them the game.
Now she was really a fully competent member of ZGDX.
They were having a celebratory dinner when Sichen and Lu Yue’s mother kept calling her sons. To stop more calls from her, Sicheng agreed to a blind date arranged by his mother.
Of course, Smiling was so jealous but what else can she do.
Sicheng met the girl. It was Su Luo who fell in love with him at first sight.
Now, it looks like it would get more interesting between Smiling and the Chessman with Su Luo coming in between.
Episode 15
ZGDX next battle was against FNC.
FNC’s midsolo was Kun who tried to get Smiling’s attention by trying to kill her in the game.
Again ZGDX won their game but Kun was rather pushy and wanted to get to know Smiling and won’t take no for an answer.
When Smiling asked who Kun was, Sicheng said that he was another of her stamp collection. He then said that Kun was a trainee at TAT before he left.
Kun is South Korean who declared that he had fallen in love with Smiling and willing to discontinue being a womaniser.
Sicheng told him in his dreams because Smiling was his girl, may not be officially but just a matter of time.
Kun won’t believe it and said that he was going to watch ZGDX’s next game and if he does not see any interaction between Sicheng and Smiling, he will continue to pursue Smiling.
It was a game between ZGDX and LAN.
Kun was not the only one to avidly watch Smiling and Sicheng.
Su Luo also turned up with the biggest bunch of blood-red roses for Sicheng. The battle is on in more ways than one.
Episode 16
Sicheng and Smiling continue to flirt up a storm and they do not even try to hide it.
After winning against LAN, and as they leave the stage, Chubby accidentally stepped on Smiling’s flimsy sandal which of course made her fall but Sicheng grabbed her in his arms, and for the longest time, they just stared at one another while the world of e-gamers was watching and thinking what was going on with the Chessman and Smiling.
Anyway, everyone could see the attraction between the two. Even Su Luo could see it but still, it did not deter her to ask Sicheng to go and dine with her.
Once again, he told her that he was not interested but still she persevered. What a girl
When the team got back home, Sicheng and Smiling had a solo battle. She won against him.
But then he got a call from Su Luo begging him to see her.
He agreed which upset Smiling.
She whispered to Sicheng that she doesn’t want him to go. He was wearing earphones at that time.
Episode 17
Tong Yao got involved in a brawl with a fan.
The fan then posted that ZGDX is a team of violent thugs.
Sicheng and Lue Ye’s mother, ZGDX’s CEO turned up and suspended Tong Yao.
Sicheng agreed but negotiated for one game only.
Episode18
Sicheng and Tong Yao had an intense heart-to-heart about her suspension and forgetting her advice to her to mind her actions all time.
I am rather biased towards you.
Episode 19
Da Bing, Tong Yao’s cat ate Sicheng gold fish. Thinking that Sicheng will tell her off and probably tell her to get rid of Da Bing, she was surprised when he gave her a band-aid for her heel.
The next day, a day off, Tong Yao invited Sicheng to go to the market to get another goldfish. He wanted a black one, she said the red one is cuter. So they ended up getting the red one as the fish seller said that it would be easier to do what the missis says.
Tong Yao wanted to get another cat, but another girl got to the cat first. Tong Yao realised that the girl’s date was the Dragon of DK, the team they had to play against next.
Sicheng made the whole day a date. He took her for a meal and then surprised her with cinema tickets to the Black Widow.
Tong Yao saw Dragon of DK at the cinema with the girl with the kitten.
Tongyao advised the girl that the kitten will get ill because it is called inside the cinema.
After the movie, some fans saw Sicheng and Tong Yao on a date.
Sicheng was disappointed when Tong Yao interrupted him when he was about to answer where Smiling was his girlfriend.
Tong Yao said that they were just teammates who wanted to see the same movie.
Anyway, later on despite protestation from Sicheng about preferring a black fish, he actually loved the red fish.
Episode 20
It was the game between ZDGx against DK Five.
Dragon instructed to go for Smiling.
He was targeting her because she refused to deny that he was the man in the cinema with a cat.
Seriously Smiling is so nosy. Her nosiness will get her team one day.
She was problematising how Dragon of DK Five treats his fan/girlfriend and kitten. As if it has something to do with her.
She was so annoyed at Dragon, she generalising that all pro-gamer men are scum.
It is good SiCheng managed to stop himself from giving her a shake for her immaturity.
But then it was too late for him. He had become one of what he calls her stamp collection.
He told her to try him, Be with him.
Awww, lucky girl.
Btw, the title of this drama is falling into your smile, right?!!! Smiling is never smiling. Tong Yao has pouted her way from episode 1 to 20 (as of writing), rather prettily, I must admit.
How did Si Cheng fall for Smiling’s smile that hardly materialised? Strange title!
Episode 21
Smiling made Si Cheng wait for her answer. She really played hard to get.
He did assure her that he was not after sleeping with her, then qualified it with not immediately anyway.
Still Smiling continued to umming and ahhing until he said he will give her a couple of hours and at 9:00pm she has to give him an answer whether she wanted to try him as her boyfriend or not.
She did wait at the last minute to give him her answer but it was actually a done deal. She has the hots for him for a long time.
But Si Cheng did not want to take any chances so he got a little kitten to soften Smiling so she would purr like a pussy cat herself.
And she did too because she initiated the hug when she saw Sicheng with the kitten peeping from inside his jacket. She then asked why Si Cheng was not hugging her back.
That was all he needed to hear to turn into a softy romantic fool. He did try to push his luck when he asked if they could share her bed but she told him to get lost.
Anyway, the issue regarding Dragon had a bit of repercussion to e-gamers. A curfew from 10 pm was created.
Episode 22
Smiling sat among the audience to watch YQCB and ADC’s contest.
Chen Jinyang was sitting next to Smiling.
The fans got annoyed with Jinyang because she was showing no interest at all with Ai Jia, her boyfriend. She was looking at her mobile phone most of the time and now and again would say that watching the game does not matter to her as she cannot understand it.
The fans noticed this and were annoyed for their idol thinking that Jinyang was some bimbo living off her boyfriend’s earning.
Smiling told her to say something but Jinyang said to just let it go.
Seriously! What is her deal? If she was not interested, why be there at all? And make this episode boring as hell.
Anyway, it got so bad that Ai Jia was forced to come down from the podium and intervene.
Jinyang was annoying to the last minute and Ai Jia was forced to carry her off the arena and take her to a quiet room.
They were having a heart to heart when Smiling followed them.
You would think that she would leave them to it, but no she was such a voyeur! She stayed put, including when the lovers started kissing. She still remained where she was for a few more moments.
And when she finally had enough of her strange hobby, 😝of watching other people making out LOL she finally closed the door and found Sicheng waiting for her.
This is really a filler episode after Smiling and Sicheng had professed their love for one another. Probably the producers thought that fans are so full of wellbeing and graciousness that the lead roles have gotten together so they would throw in a useless episode. 😝😜
Anyway, Sicheng and Smiling had decided to have a secret relationship for now, though Sicheng would have spilled the beans if he was confronted about it.
Episode 23
This episode is just the cutest.
At first Smiling tried to hide her relationship with Sicheng. From lovey-dovey, she then would treat him like a leper when someone was around. It got so bad because he felt that she was ashamed to be seen with him.
He told her that he was proud to be with her even if some of his fans would unfollow him. He told her that she was his weakness.
No one could resist that so in her own volition, she tiptoed and kiss him in public.
And all is well in their rosy world. They kissed and kissed and kissed until poor Chubby saw them which rather traumatised his virgin heart.
He quizzed them about their relationship which they were happy to answer.
Chubby reminded Smiling that she once said that she would not date an e-gamer because they were scums.
Sicheng looked rather askance about it but let it pass.
Chubby later asked Sicheng why Tong Yao. Sicheng has better-looking fans.
Though Sicheng was not pleased with the turn of the question, he willingly answered Chubby’s query. He said that Tong Yao is strong. He likes a strong woman who can be cute when she cries in frustration.
Ahhhhhh
Love this episode with Tong Yao/Smiling’s pout and all.
Episode 24
After the cute Episode 23, this next episode is anything but.
First, K’s parents came thundering down to ZGDX building to demand that K give them money to buy a house for their younger son who was going to get married. Additionally, they also wanted money for the wedding and extra more to start his brother in business.
Xiao Rui was a bit shock at how unfeeling the parents to K. They were treating him just like a cash cow.
K was so upset and embarrassed of his parents, he gave them his cash card with all the money in the world that he has got just to make them go away and hoping for good from his life.
His mother quickly grabbed the card implying that K might change his mind.
K was standing outside and removing the SD card from his boy and threw it away when Tong Yao turned up and said that he should not completely cut off himself from his parents. She gave herself as an example that her parents did not understand why she wanted to be an e-gamer. But they made up in the end.
K could also say that she has a different kind of parents with different mindset. He told her that his parents had always favoured his younger brother who they sent to university. They wanted K to become a labourer just like his father. But K paid his way to university by playing computer games and teaching others how to use it.
He was so lonely Tong Yao told him that he’s got them.
Meanwhile, Jingyan had some news for Tong Yao. She is now the sole owner of YCQB and she will be managing her new firm and the players.
She invited Tong Yao to join her and Ai Jia to an e-gamers festival to make universities and colleges aware of e-games as a sport.
During a university tour, Ai Jia was able to make up with his mother who was against him playing e-games. She was so annoyed that she threw him out.
It was the 20th OPL Championship.
CK was going to play.
ZGDX team went to seat in the audience.
The kiss cam focused on Smiling and the Chessman.
The fans started chanting for Tong Yao and Sicheng to kiss.
And they did which broke Jian Yang’s heart.
The kissing trended online and got to Mrs Lu who decided to come to Shenzhen for a visit.
Tang Yao had a nightmare that Mrs Lu was some 18th-century madam and she was poor Cinderella being paid off to leave Mrs Lu’s son alone. Five million yuan was the bribe.
She had a quivering Tang Yao and Sicheng before her.
Episode 25
They shouldn’t have worried, Mrs Lu did not order to part ways but warned them that it would be a bumpy ride ahead of them.
Mrs Lu immediately announced to the gaming world that Smiling and the Chessman are in a relationship and they hope for everyone’s blessings but would take legal actions against those who would be creating unsavory issues regarding the relationships.
Though Tong Yao would still shy away from showing the relationship, Sicheng was upfront about and would kiss her while she was live streaming.
Their next game was with Alpha which they lost. K and Cat had a falling out about it.
Sicheng had to go on an interview very reluctantly. He was then asked if the root of losing the game against Alpha was due to his relationship with Tong Yao.
Sicheng was annoyed and told fans to unfollow him if they were upset about him and Tong Yao. He elaborated that ZDGX and Tong Yan are both important in his heart he cannot do away with one or the other.
Episode 26
The keyboard warriors though were not pacified and went to town with their criticism of Tong Yao.
The other e-gamers started to live-stream showing their support for Tong Yao.
But there are really nasty people out there.
They sent a package to Tong Yan and when she opened it, it had cockroaches and razor blades in it.
Sicheng had to tend to her bleeding fingers.
Rui reported the matter to the police and asked for extra security at the arena for their next game.
Lu Yue had to play as Tong Yan was advised by management to step down.
During the next game, everyone noticed that the Chessman was too aggressive in his attack from start to finish. They did win the game easily but Chessman turned down the interview for the MVP for the game.
Tong Yan is beginning to question her relationship with Sicheng because he keeps disappearing and he was very cold to her.
Episode 27
Tong Yan was crying so much while she was dressing her wounds when Sicheng came to her bedroom.
She asked him why he was keeping away from her? Are they breaking up?
Sicheng was shocked? He asked her if she wanted to break up. She said no so they started kissing passionately and ended up in her bed…
The next morning she got up with him gone. She went downstairs in her pajamas and was told off by Sicheng.
Jinyang called her to advise her to watch a link she texted Tong Yan.
The link was about Tong Yan’s reason why she was on a break from playing. She was injured from the blades which were maliciously sent to her on a package.
Many commiserated and some still blamed Tong Yan especially when a vlog of the sender went viral. She said she was suffering from depression, she said she was an avid fan of ZDGX and love the Chessman the most but Smiling took him away. She ended her vlog by showing that she was going to overdose on tablets.
Poor Smiling was being blamed for this.
During a meeting with the management, they told Sicheng and Rui that public relations with ZDGX is so bad that the only way was for Smiling to apologise.
This drove Sicheng to destruction. Smiling was a victim and she had to apologise?
Sicheng walked out. And since then had been behaving erratically.
Smiling found him early one morning still playing games, obviously pulled an all-nighter. Smiling told him to stop and relax but he won’t be told.
It was another OPL game. ZDGX versus YQCB.
It ended up in frustration because the Chessman lost the game.
Episode 28
It was the second round to the ZDGX versus YQCB, again ZDGX lost.
This time the team was now really blaming Sicheng.
It did not help that Smiling told that she noticed that Sicheng had problems with his hand and that he stayed up all night to play.
Cat was livid. He said that gamers know that if your hand is troubling you, you must stay away from gaming for a while.
They also asked where he was going during his frequent disappearing acts.
It turned out that he had been looking for the girl who ended her video by swallowing pills.
They found the girl and her parents who at first were apologetic and used the girls young age of 18 to induce pity for minors.
But Sicheng said that his child, Smiling, was barely twenty and she had gotten online abuse and malicious package by their daughter.
The parents started showing their true colours, that they had spoiled their daughter who it come out had already the previous incident of cyberbullying another.
In line with the new information, the police said that the girl will be arrested and put into prison for at least five days and will find 500 won.
The team realised that they should pull together rather than fall apart with just one setback. So all is well in their wold again, ready to battle another game.
Episode 29
Tong Yao parents learned about the blade injury via online and obviously not very happy about it. Her mother told her to come home to see them and to bring Si Cheng with her.
Si Cheng readily agreed to go with her where he had a man-to-man talk with Tong Yao’s father.
Sicheng was asked about his intentions towards Tong Yao whether it was a long-term or just casual dating.
Si Cheng assured his future father-in-law that he meant to keep and protect Tong Yao forever.
This was overheard by Tong Yao who wanted to hear it face to face with Sicheng.
She had her face-to-face with Sicheng. They snogged before they got inside the car to go back to ZDGX. He told her that he will protect her forever.
ZDGX had a match with CK. ZDGX won the first round and they were euphoric.
Sicheng waited for Jian Yang by the loo. He reminded Jian Yang the time when he heard Jian Yang and Tong Yang arguing. Sicheng said that he was grateful to Jian Yang that he broke up with Tong Yao.
This drove Jian Yang so mad, he put all his frustration into his game which won his team the second round against ZDGX.
Ultimately ZDGX won the game as they were back on the third round.
Jian Yang was a good loser. He finally let go of Tong Yan telling her that she was right, they were not compatible.
Episode 30
ZGDX got to the Grand Finals and went out for a celebratory meal.
At the restaurant, they saw the DQ Five team who were already quite drunk.
DQ Five is being disbanded because of successive losses.
Rui told his ZGDX to be calm as the drunk leader of DQ Five came to their table. But he was actually there to give support and encouragement to ZGDX for the grand finals and possible international game and to make e-gamers proud.
Though it was a kind sentiment from the DQ Five leader, ZGDX could not help but be reminded that e-gamers sporting life is short-lived. It all depends on winning, otherwise, you are out of the game.
It was the day before the Grand Finals.
Rui said that he will give the team a day off to relax.
Sicheng said he will take Tong Yao shopping.
Tong Yao said that she doesn’t have anything she wanted to buy to which Sicheng jokingly said that he thought she wanted him for his money. He added that she has the chance to enjoy being with a human ATM.
Before she could enjoy wild shopping with someone’s unlimited debit card, Fatty was taken to the hospital from gorging himself singlehandedly with dozens of crab dumplings.
So the team ended up waiting around in the hospital corridors while Fatty was better. When they so him, he said he was hungry because he puke all the dumplings.
He wanted biscuits. Sicheng asked for Tong Yao’s wallet as he forgot his.
He then noticed her ID card and that it was her birthday.
Tong Yao was at Fatty’s hospital room and having a quiet birthday wish and prayer but the window when all of the sudden the lights went low and then the team came wheeling a huge birthday cake with Sicheng carrying a huge bouquet of red roses.
If she was happy or not, it does not show with non-smiling Smiling. 🤪😝😜. She pouted her thanks to their kind gesture. She closed her eyes to make another prayer over the cake prior to blowing the candles when she noticed a necklace was being fastened to her neck by Sicheng.
She noted that it was a smiley necklace. He told her that he will give her a diamond ring next year when they will hold their wedding. Ahhhh
It was the day…
The Grand Finals…
Smiling flirtily said to Sicheng that she was nervous.
Episode 31
The first part of the drama, I have to say was complete gobbledygook. At least though we see the different characters playing for the various team and we can say a final farewell to them.
The battle between ZGDX and YQCB began.
ZGDX won the first round but was not so lucky in the second round.
Smiling was pouting but the Chessman reassured her that In E-Sport being lame is the original sin so they had to do their best in the last round.
And they did. Smiling’s stamp collection supported her wholeheartedly, including the Gucci jacketed Jian Yang who was so proud of Smiling, he developed a fatherly stance for her. He said that she chose Sicheng because Sicheng is spectacular. In fact, if he had been a girl he would have chosen Sicheng as well.
Jian Yang proudly declared that he was the one who taught Smiling the game, He is adorable.
It was a very tough game that seemed to last so long that it reached the urination nightmare period.
But it was so worth to hold the wee for the trophy in the end.😜😜😜
Everyone was happy, Smiling parents were happy.
Then Ai Jia and Jinyang got married.
Jinyang threw the wedding bouquet and Tong Yao caught it.
Tong Yao and Sicheng so naughtily took out the limelight from the newly married couple.
Aww, this drama is so cute and the charismatic Takeru Satoh leads.
Anyway, Sakura was about to graduate from high school but not sure what to do afterwards.
Her class was on a school day trip to Tokyo on 23 November 2015.
Sakura had a notebook of what she was going to be doing during that day trip. She was going to go to all the temples and shops where she could pray for a good match for her one day. Apparently her family has had problems with finding their match. Like her father and mother who ended up divorced?!!! That is why she lived with her grandparents.
While she was wandering around Tokyo, she saw an elderly woman collapsed on the street. She did not really know what to do but the woman obviously needed help.
So she shouted for help at the top of her voice.
Luckily a passing doctor who was jogging heard her and took over looking after the woman who had an anaphylactic shock.
The moment Sakuro saw the doctor, she fell in love. He was gorgeous and so kind to her and to the patient.
He was Dr Tendo and told her that he worked at Hiura General Hospital.
Dr Tendo had to accompany the woman in the ambulance but before he left he told Sakura that it was all due to her that the woman survived what could have been a fatal situation.
Sakura there and then knew what was she going to do as she watched the ambulance moving away.
Five years later…
Sakura was now a nurse and will intern at Hiura General Hospital as she had been longing and aiming for.
She tried to find Dr Tendo immediately.
She saw him as he leaving the operating theatre.
Sakura did not waste any time.
She told Dr Tendo that she had loved him for the last five years and she had become a nurse because of him.
This got embarrassing not only because Dr Tendo seemed not to remember her at all and told her she was a rock, stupid, to confess to him after five years of unrequited love but the whole scene was witnessed by the hospital staff.
On her first day, Sakura got her nickname as Hero for having had the courage to approach the hospital Devil.
It was not a great experience for Sakura working side by side with Dr Tendo as she tends to make a lot of mistakes.
There came a point when Dr Tendo told her to just quit as she was not any good. He said also that she only became a nurse to follow him.
Anyway, Sakura is a competent nurse when she was not assisting Dr Tendo. And Dr Tendo realised this soon enough.
He was slightly more approachable so she walked home with him one evening.
Dr Tendo asked her how long was she going to follow him as he stood in front of his apartment.
Sakura was clueless about what was he was saying. She said she was not following him because she was actually standing in front of her own apartment.
It turned out that they are now next-door neighbors.
But it was no way romantic as she soon found out.
Dr Tendo looked like he was already living in with someone as a woman intimately welcomed him into the apartment.
Episode 2
Possible romance for the lead is back on.
it turned out the woman who was hanging on Dr Tendo as soon as he got home was Ruuyuko, his older sister.
The whole apartment building is own by the Tendos, a family of doctors except for Ruuyuko, who was rather partial to drink and rock & roll lifestyle.
Ruuyuko, instead, managed the apartment building. She told this mini-life story to Sakura who started dreaming being intimate with Dr Tendo again. Ruuyuko asked Sakura if she was the newbie nurse who declared her love and then was rejected by the Devil?
As Ruuyuko was so friendly, Sakura happily confessed that it was her.
The next day in the hospital, she decided to intern at the cardio unit. She was paired with Dr Tendo and they became the Tendo Team.
Dr Tendo was not very enthusiastic about being teamed with Sakura and he had reasons to be.
Sakura was hopeless most of the times. On their rounds, she runs the medical trolley straight to Dr Tendo. Then she took blood from a patient and was complimented for it. Sakura said she was actually good with injections and was so pleased with herself she accidentally injected the used needle to her hand.
Dr Tendo had to tend to her immediately. He told her that he was wasting ten minutes of hospital round looking after her.
There was a very sad story in this episode, the gorgeous young patient Kanda died.
Kanda was working in an electrical appliances shop and was passionate about his job and knows everything about the merchandise. He was hoping that he gets send home from the hospital soon because he wanted to see a girl who was on a first date when he collapsed.
Anyway, even Dr Tendo knew that Kanda’s condition is worsening.
Even Sakura noticed that Kanda had lost his appetite. To cheer him up, Sakura took especial care of him and cheering him up. This seemed to work. Sakura confessed to him that her rice cooker she brought from her hometown had stopped working and she was looking for a new rice cooker.
Kanda happily said that he was going to look out for one for her.
Among the new nurse interns at the hospital, Sakai was the best and everyone knew it.
It was her who noticed that Kanda was having an attack as she looked up at the monitor at the nursing station.
Sakura commented later to Sakai that she can never be as good as Sakai.
Sakai looked at Sakura and said: “I came here to learned, you came here to be liked.”
Which is very true. Every opportunity she gets she would confessed to Dr Tendo. She told him to go on a date with her, etc. Sometimes she is so cute and sometimes you just want her to shut up.
But she did shut up when Kanda died. Everyone did. Kanda was adorable and popular.
Sakura went home rather lethargic and promptly collapsed in front of her apartment door.
Ruuyuko saw her.
When Sakura woke up, she saw Dr Tendo tending to her. He told her that she had a fever and it seemed she was malnourished.
She had not been eating well because her broken rice cooker. Sakura started crying and collapsed in Dr Tendo’s arms. She told Dr Tendo she was going to quit nursing. She also said that Dr Tendo was right. She was a hopeless nurse.
Dr Tendo laid her back in bed and told her to rest.
He then said that he was wrong, she was a good nurse.
Dr Tendo went back to his apartment but can’t settle so he returned to Sakura’s apartment but found that she was with Dr Kisugi.
Episode 3
This episode is rather cute.
Dr Tendo found Dr Kisugi at Sakura’s apartment. He did not like that Dr Kisugi was friendly with Sakura and he let Kisugi know it by being familiar with Sakura. Dr Tendo took her pulse, and examined her if the fever had not subsided.
Dr Kisugi left them to it but warned Dr Tendo that he had to stay up to watch over Sakura until she was passed being feverish.
Anyway, Sakura got better quickly and went back to work. Again, she had not improved her nursing skills when she’s working with Dr Tendo. In fact, it got much worse because a patient refused to have his blood drawn by Sakura again and requested, instead, that Sakai took it.
Because of this Sakura suddenly lost confidence taking blood and Dr Tendo had to suspend her from taking blood tests. He calls her baka, meaning stupid, a fool.
It may sound harsh but Sakura mistakenly entered the information of a patient into a different patient’s record.
Thank goodness Dr Tendo realised it otherwise they would have sent a patient home basing the prognosis from the wrong record information.
She kept making mistakes because her brain is addled with other things like her love for Dr Tendo and being liked by everyone.
She overheard this same thing from Sakai who complained to a staff nurse about having to do extra jobs as she now had to cover for Sakura, who had her brain somewhere else when working with Dr Tendo.
Sakura was really sad but realised that Sakai had got a point.
Sakura started practicing drawing blood using an artificial arm to get her mojo back.
This was how Dr Kisugi found her. He offered his arm as her specimen but she refused as she might hurt him. Her confidence was so low.
Dr Kisugi noticed how sad she had become so he told her about Dr Tendo. He said that Dr Tendo used to have a girlfriend who was a young doctor, the same batch as them.
The girl was everything. She was feisty, confident and intelligent. But during the final year of their internship, she got sick.
Dr Kisugi said that it was the first and last time he saw Dr Tendo cry.
The girl eventually died from cardiomyopathy.
Ever since then Dr Tendo had gone deep into his shell, he does not smile, he does not talk much and seldom mingle with colleagues.
Sakura felt sad for Dr Tendo. After eight years he had not recovered.
Anyway, one of the patients was going berserk and insisting to go home before proper diagnosis and treatment were given to him.
Dr Tendo looked at the patient’s records and noticed that Sakura had inputted some important information that was overlooked by the nurses.
This made the nurses, including Sakai, to realise that Sakura was not completely idiotic after all. Just a little bit!
The staff at Cardio-unit took Sakura and Sakai for a welcome drink. They were surprised when Dr Tendo showed up.
Sakura made a little speech, she used every opportunity to tell Dr Tendo that she likes him and in this speech was no different.
She said that she likes Dr Tendo, yes she said she really likes him but she realised that she was not a good nurse so from that time on, she would put all her energy into becoming the good nurse.
She was so earnest with her promise that Dr Kisugi saw her in a new light. He sort of said that he was joining in. Meaning it will be a love triangle.
Sakai observed that Dr Kisugi was looking rather interestedly at Sakura.
And Sakura got so drunk during the meal that everyone left her in the care of Dr Tendo as they live in the same building.
He piggyback her until she started to feel queasy.
Sakura drunkenly revealed that she has heard about his dead girlfriend. Sakura said that she understood and sympathised that he was upset about it but it had been eight years.
She promised him that she will put the smile back into his face and laughter into his life. She then fell asleep.
Dr Tendo looked at her and said that if she was really serious about becoming a good nurse then he will train her to be the best nurse.
Awww
Episode 4
Sakura with Ruuyuko went to pray and get their fortune at the temple.
Sakura’s fortune said that she was going to have extraordinary luck. In her love life, she will have an unexpected confession.
Suddenly Sakura remembered that she was not supposed to be focusing on her love life anymore but to become a better nurse. Her career fortune said, “If there’s a will, there’s a way.”
Well, Sakura started her mission to become the better or best nurse. She gave 110 percent to her duty.
When one of her patients,Tazawa, was about to be discharged, she especially created a hand-written little booklet of little recipes that he could try at home as he lives alone. The other patients wanted one too. She is popular with them.
She was still grinning when she saw Dr. Tendo in the corridor. She apologised to him of what happened the previous night.
He remembered that she promised to make him smile again and be happy, happy, happy.
There was an emergency, a woman with a suspected heart attack had been admitted at the ER.
Sakura started getting post-it notes which stated very caring sentiments.
The nurses at the hospital said that it was Dr. Kisugi for sure who was sending the notes because he was that kind of guy, caring and kind.
One of the male nurses said that was true because when he was on duty for the longest time, Dr Kisugi sent him food and he almost developed a crush on him.
Yuuki Sayoko further added that Dr Kisugi was the most popular doctor in the hospital, everybody loves him for his kindness. But Sayoko warned to never misinterpret his generosity and to fall in love with Dr Kisugi because he was like that with everybody. He can’t give you more that you want.
Sakura got another note in her letterbox at the apartment building telling her to get an early night and some rest. At that same moment, she saw Dr Kisugi and thank him for the caring notes.
Dr Kisugi at first did not understand what she was talking about and then he denied that he was the one sending them.
They both ended up together inside Dr Tendo’s apartment when Ruuyuki invited them in after seeing them with confused looks.
Ruuyuki said that Sakura has a stalker.
From the kitchen, Dr Tendo sniggered. He said who in their right mind would stalk Sakura?
Sakura said that she might have a couple of stalkers.
Ruuyuki said that this issue is serious, she then said that Dr Kisugi should pretend to be Sakura’s boyfriend and escort her to work for the moment.
Dr Kisugi agreed but Dr Tendo was not liking the idea.
Dr Kisugi made good of his promise and went to work with Sakura the next day.
Sakura realised how popular Dr Kisugi was as they walked to the hospital; everyone knew him.
Sakai saw them and got a bit jealous. She has a crush on Dr Kisugi.
The patient who was admitted with a heart attack refused to have a bypass surgery despite Dr Kisugi explaining to her that plaques were blocking the blood flowing in her arteries and this good be fatal.
Sakura later learned that the patient wanted to attend the wedding of her estranged daughter which will happen soon. Having surgery now would mean she will be confined in the hospital for a few weeks which would make her miss the wedding.
Sakura explained this to Dr Kisugi, who reassured her that he will take this into consideration. He would weigh up the health and wellbeing of his patient.
Unfortunately, Tsuruoka, the patient, took a turn for the worse.
Dr Kisugi said he should have operated on Tsuruoka immediately.
Tsuruoka, however, said that she wanted to go to the wedding and asked Sakura to make it happened. She asked what was there for her life? All she wanted was to see her daughter, who she had not seen for twenty years after her divorce, in her wedding dress.
Their conversation was overheard by Dr Tendo.
Anyway, Sakura researched about the venue, how long it would take to get the patient back and forth, etc.
At a convened medical review, Sakura talked about Tsuruoka. She told the hospital doctors that she would take the day off to escort Tsuruoka to the wedding venue herself. It would take an hour to get there so the patient will only be away for three hours max.
The doctors said she was a new recruit and there were other things to consider like the hospital being sued if something happens to the patient.
Dr Tendo volunteered to take the day off as well and go with Sakura.
So the patient’s wish was granted and had an emotional reunion with her daughter.
They then return the patient to the hospital under Dr Kisugi’s care.
Tsuruoka was so grateful to Sakura. She said that Sakura is so sweet, she loves her.
Dr Kisugi said he knew what she meant, which rather surprised Tsuruoka.
Outside of the hospital, Sakura realised that she misplaced her mobile phone.
Dr Tendo said he will take her back to the venue.
But Sakura declined the offer and started running.
This part is rather confusing for me. The venue is supposed to be an hour’s drive but it looks like Sakura only took 5 minutes to run to the venue.
Anyway, when she got there, her stalker was waiting for her with her phone. It was Tazawa, the guy she made the mini-recipe booklet for.
Sakura was very surprised and then Tazawa tried to hug her but suddenly Dr Tendo was there and rescued Sakura.
Tazawa, however, found a steel bar to use on Dr Tendo but the doctor was prepared to fight. They were on the ground fighting when bigger tube bars got dislodged from a shelf and were about to fall near the two men.
Sakura threw herself on Dr Tendo to protect him.
She ended up with a bleeding head.
When the ambulance came, Dr Tendo instructed to bring them to Hiura Hospital. Again, if the venue was an hour away from the hospital, surely the ambulance would bring the patient to the nearest hospital to check and treat for a possible brain hemorrhage?!!!
Anyway, Sakura was given emergency treatment inside the ambulance. She was really cringey to the point of being a little creepy. She removed her oxygen mask and went on and on how much she loves Dr Tendo, she said she would say it even hundreds of times.
Then suddenly she started to blackout and Dr Kendo got really worried.
Dr Tendo told her that if she gets through this he would do whatever she wants, like go on dates and kiss.
No! Sakura did not go into a coma or die. She actually did not even lose consciousness. She just fell asleep. LOL
And after a short stint at the Hiura Hospital, she was moaning again at Dr Tendo. She said that she felt she was not medically treated well at the hospital. She lost a lot of blood but Dr Tendo took only a few minutes to patch her up.
Dr Tendo said it was because she only needed a couple of stitches for her wound.
Anyway, Sakura mentioned about what he promised her in the ambulance. Dating and kissing.
Dr Tendo just said she was baka, stupid, it was just her imagination.
She kept thinking about it until she was not sure if it was indeed just pure imagination.
Then he kissed her and said that was part of the treatment.
Next episode, please.
Episode 5
Sakura ran after Dr Tendo to check the meaning of the kiss. She told him that he might have had thousands of kisses before but that was her first one and she doesn’t know what that kiss meant.
Dr Tendo told her that they were officially dating as he went to his own apartment, leaving Sakura looking like a fish out of water.
She went inside her own apartment almost in a trance.
And then, Dr Tendo knocked on her door.
Sakura was rather nervous, especially when she saw her bed and her brain overdrive.
Dr Tendo wanted to speak to her about how they are going about their new relationship. He told her that she must not reveal it to anyone, especially at work. She must not act so giddily every time he was nearby, not to give him her goofy smile, etc. She must behave professionally. Their personal life must stay outside of the hospital.
Sakura agreed to everything he said and wanted.
The next day at the hospital, she was all professional to him which actually rather surprised him.
Her co-worker though, started teasing her about her would. They were still talking about the time she was rushed to the hospital. They said that Dr Tendo was really worried. They asked if there was a change in their relationship.
Poor Sakura, she was aching to reveal all but she tried to hide it the best she can.
Anyway, the ‘star’ patient for this episode was the son of Mariko Negishi, the Head Nurse.
Shinto was Mariko’s only child. He was a professional e-gamer but had collapsed. He had something abnormal with his heart rhythm, arrhythmia.
He needed ablation which Sakura put forward herself to he Dr Tenko’s assistant during the procedure.
She studied hard for it, she even attended and watch carefully other ablations being performed on other patients.
But still, she was a newbie and it would be her first time to assist in the procedure.
Mariko was so concerned about this. She went to see Dr Tendo and begged him to appoint a more suitable or rather more experienced nurse. She said that she knew she was a bit out of order requesting such but Shinto was her only son and she can’t bear anything going wrong with him. She was already feeling guilty working all the time being a single parent. She further added that Sakura tends to get distracted when Dr Tendo was around.
This was overhead by Dr Kisugi.
Mariko then started assigning duties to her nurses. She gave Shinto’s ablation to Kumi and Mayu.
Sakura was very surprised because she genuinely thought that she was going to be doing the assisting.
She went to Mariko to ask about it. Why was not given the task?
Mariko said that it was Dr Tendo’s decision. (What a liar!)
Anyway, Sakura went to find Dr Tendo immediately and asked him why did he not give him the the role when he almost promised her she could do it when she first asked.
Dr Tendo just looked at her being hysterical.
Sakura went on and on and even said that probably he thought that she was so distracted with him, etc.
Dr Tendo did not say much and just left her to it.
She was really so angry and was still so upset when she was leaving the hospital.
Dr Kisugi found her mopping at the hospital garden.
Sakura confessed that she was now dating Dr Tendo but she was upset with him for his cavalier attitude towards her. She then added that despite all that, she still truly loves him.
Dr Kisugi truly loves Sakura himself and would like to see her happy so he told her that Dr Tendo was begged by Mariko to drop Sakura as the assisting nurse on the oblation procedure for her son.
Dr Kisugi advised Sakura to speak to Dr Tendo now, that minute.
Sakura went to find Dr Tendo but she was told that he was performing an emergency ablation on Shinto, who had an attack.
Sakura went to the viewing theatre and saw that Dr Tendo was rather flummoxed with how the procedure was progressing. He was worried.
Sakura went to the microphone next to the watching Mariko. Sakura said that she noticed that Shinto had a cough and would constantly chew mints to relieve his cough. She thinks Shinto may have undiagnosed asthma.
This all may the difference. Dr Tendo asked Sakura to scrub up and come inside the theatre to assist.
Shinto was tended to properly.
Mariko was so grateful to Dr Tendo and especially to Sakura. She said that she was Shinto’s mother and yet she did not notice that he had a couple.
Anyway, it was the scheduling period for the nurses. Everyone wanted that day or that day of more days off etc.
Mariko asked Sakura which day she was going to take off.
Sakura said she was not bothered. She wants to stay in the hospital to study and learn.
Suddenly there was a voice, it was Dr Tendo who instructed to clear Sakura’s calendar especially the eight because he was taking her out for a meal.
Everyone was flabbergasted.
Dr Tendo patted Sakura gently on the head and said that she was his girlfriend.
If everyone was surprised then Sakura was the most stunned.
And this would apparently continue to the next episode because a very unexpected presence showed up.
Minori is back. I thought she died!
Episode 6
Yes, Minori is dead. It was her younger sister, Wakabayashi who had just turned up at Huira Hospital.
Everyone was oohing and aahing at how beautiful Wakabayashi was which made Sakura felt bad for herself.
It did not help that her supposed date with Dr Tendo was unceremoniously canceled because he had to go to Osaka for a conference… and yes Wakabayashi was also going with him because she had been invited as a special guest having just come back from a prestigious medical school in America.
Anyway, since Sakura had a couple of days break, she asked Ryuusei to spend it with her doing pub crawl.
At first Ryuusei was tempted but she said that Sakura should definitely go to Osaka and spy on Dr Tendo. Sakura cannot really allow Wakabayashi to take Dr Tendo from her.
So Sakura stealthily stalked Dr Tendo in Osaka. She then encountered another accident where an elderly man collapsed in the street, Sakura was once again aided by no other than Dr Tendo.
Sakura was surprised that he was there but Dr Tendo said he knew all along that she was stalking him.
Dr Tendo did not go to the conference dinner party, instead, he treated Sakura to takoyaki. He said that you cannot come to Osaka and not eat takoyaki.
They found out that they were to share the same hotel room. Ryuusei made sure of it.
It was a very sedate evening though. Sakura spent a long time in the bathroom debating against herself of what to do. When she finally came out, she said that she was inexperienced but she would leave everything to Dr Tendo, who she found was already (pretending to be) sleeping.
Sakura was so relieved and jumped into bed next to him and promptly slept. He was amazed at how she did it. He did give her a very light and rather tender kiss on the lips.
The next morning Sakura woke up alone but Dr Tendo said that he was going to wait for her downstairs.
She attended the seminar where he was the guest speaker. Sakura noticed how lively Wakayabashi was while sitting in front watching Dr Tendo. She was feeling rather uneasy especially when Wakayabashi later sought her out to speak with her.
She wanted to know the person who replaced Minori in Dr Tendo’s heart.
Sakura immediately said that she more or less imposed herself on Dr Tendo until he did not have much of a choice. Sakura said that she chased after Dr Tendo.
Wakayabashi said that Sakura was the opposite of her sister.
Instead of growing closer, Sakura felt further and further away from Dr Tendo. She was uncomfortable when all her happy colleagues wanted to know what adventure she had with Dr Tendo in Osaka. Sakura gave them presents to keep them quiet and distracted.
The patient of the week was Wada, a former nurse, who had been making Sakai’ life so stressful. Being a nurse, Wada would complain and comment at everything Sakai did.
The only thing that made Sakai smile was when Dr Kisugi said that he had the same problem with his mother who was a pharmacist. He said that to this day, she does not fully trust him to write a good prescription.
Anyway, Wada ended up having a heart attack and needed to be operated asap. Wakayabashi assisted Dr Tendo and they did make a very competent and good looking team. This was observed by many, which was heard by Sakura who was already feeling low.
Her self-esteem was at the lowest when she happened to pass Dr Tendo’s office and saw him talking intently with Wakayabashi, who just happened to say how much she admired his skill and talent as a doctor, so much so that she had fallen in love with him.
Sakura did not wait to hear what would happen next.
She was just so upset, she ended up drinking beer in the park to drown her sorrow.
She was singing while half-drunk already when Dr Kisugi told her that she had enough. He took the can from her,
Poor Sakura said that Wakayabashi was so much better than her and also better suited for Dr Tendo.
Sakura got up and started to go bur Dr Kisugi pulled her in a tight hug, telling her that he will always be with her because he was in love with her.
Meanwhile, Dr Tendo was sitting alone in his office, looking rather thoughtful!
Episode 7
This episode is my favourite so far. I love it.
Dr Kisugi confessed to Sakura, she thanked him but turned him down. She told him without prevarication that she had ever seen him as a close friend, a confidante she can tell her troubles and share her thoughts with. Other than that, nothing else because Dr Tendo is the one in her heart.
Dr Kisugi seemed to love her even more for her unadulterated honesty and advised her to seek Dr Tendo to thrash out the state of their relationship.
When she got outside her apartment door, she saw Dr Tendo coming out of the lift.
He took her to his apartment and asked her what was upsetting her.
She went on and on about how Wakabayashi liked him and how they were so much more compatible in looks, ability, sophistication, and intelligence. While she and Dr Tendo are in different leagues.
He went to her and said, “the fact that you and I are in a different league was established a million years ago.” He then started snogging her and said “you are not allowed to cry alone” and would have probably gone on snogging her if Ruuyusei did not come home at that precise moment.
Ruuyusei did give them a couple of amusement park tickets.
The next day, Wakabayashi wanted to talk to Sakura. She said that she confessed to Dr Tendo but got a very brutal rebuff and that was the end of her one-sided life for the doctor. Wakabayashi is moving on.
Sakura then happened to meet Dr Kisugi and they initially had a very awkward moment but Dr Kisugi as he is, so kind and gentle said that what he confessed to her last night was all true but because he likes her and cares for Dr Tendo as well, then he will support them. Awww. Sakai overheard them.
Dr Kisugi said that whether she believed it or not, he does have a lot of admirers. He and Dr Tendo were known as Brad Pitt and Leonardo Di Caprio of Hiura Hospital. 🙂
She was coming home when she saw a selection of toffee apples on display but they cost a fortune.
While she was totally absorbed with the apples on a stick, she was suddenly grabbed by a good-looking boy and told his date that the bemused Sakura was his new girlfriend.
The date threw a glass of ice-tea over Sakura. So the boy took her shopping for new clothes and surprised her later with one of the toffee apples.
The boy asked her to hang out with him for the rest of the day but Sakura said she can’t because she has a boyfriend who is gorgeous and good at his job.
The next day, Sakura was taken to the very exclusive section of the hospital – the VIP rooms.
Apparently, a patient had especially asked for her to be his nurse.
As Sakura found out the patient was Kamijo, the boy she met the day before. He had a heart problem which was first diagnosed when he was a child.
Kamijo, who the staff at the hospital calls the Trustfund Kid comes from a very rich and distinguished family who regularly donates to the Hiura Hospital.
Kamijo himself was very generous to his friends and would shower them with presents and treats.
Ruuyusei said that rich kids are usually insecure and often buy affection and admiration from others.
Anyway, the day out of Sakura and Dr Tendo at the amusement park was so sweet. They are so charming together. Mone is so cute. I thought she was so plain especially when I saw her in the latest LDK movie but in this drama she is so charming. And Sato, he is so gorgeous.
Sakai thought she saw her chance to confess to Dr Kisugi, who was looking rather glum and thoughtful, so she shouted iskedes… but then she chickened out and qualified it that what she meant was she likes both rice ball and curry bread.
Kamijo’s symptoms are getting worse. Sakura was at his beck and call. He would call her for the most innocuous excuse.
He thought he could buy her as well ad got her a beautiful necklace which she refused to accept. He asked her if she could be his. He will take her anywhere and give her everything. He then hugged her.
Sakura could not really push him away because he looked so sad and lonely. And that was how Dr Tendo found them, Sakura patting Kamijo reassuringly in the back while he hugged her.
Sakura continued to be kind and gentle to him. This only made Kamijo likes her more and more.
Unfortunately for her, Dr Tendo was not so amused. In fact, he was very stressed.
Ryuusei was in the bar when she met Rokurou again. She confessed that she might get married soon. She showed him photos of her blind dates. I think Ryuusei and Rokurou will end up together.
Kamijo was really determined to create a problem between Dr Tendo and Sakura. He told Dr Tendo that Sakura had been seducing him. She had made the first move when they first met. He commented that what would she do with other men.
Wakabayashi and Kamijo’s bodyguard heard a commotion in Kamijo’s room. Upon investigation, they saw both Kamijo and Dr Tendo on the floor. Dr Tendo was helping Kamijo to get up.
It was at the nursing station where Sakura found out that Dr Tendo had taken the day off because of illness. They were looking at her when she seemed to be clueless about Dr Tendo’s state of health.
Sakura immediately accepted that she was a neglectful girlfriend, she did not know that her boyfriend was ill.
She then went to Dr Tendo after her shift and cooked him a warming congee.
While he looks so cute and vulnerable, she asked him about Minori.
He said that the death of Minori is like pain and fear of losing someone close to you. As a doctor, that is how he feels for his patients.
But he then said that Sakura was too close and attentive to Kamaji and he does not like it. Awwwwwwww
She said that he was jealous and kissed him.
Sakura was happy to arrive at work with Dr Kendo the next day.
Their happiness turned to shock when Kamijo came in and said that he was suing Dr Tendo for violence and psychological damage towards his patient.
Episode 8
Kamijo sued Dr Tendo and his proof of the doctor’s violence against him was his bruised shoulder.
Everyone sympathised with Dr Tendo as it was not like him to intentionally hurt a patient, ever.
Wakabayashi said that she did not see any bruises when she examined Kamijo.
Yukito said it was simple, Kamijo hurt himself after he lodged his complaint against Dr Tendo.
Dr Tendo was taken off as an official doctor/surgeon for Kamijo.
Dr Kisugi will take over.
Meanwhile, Ruuyusei was packing to go back home to the family house to discuss marriage with her parents. She told Sakura to look after Kairi (Dr Tendo).
Sakura tried to. But when she was with Dr Tendo, she turns into a total klutz. She made a mess in the kitchen, she vacuumed an expensive shirt.
Dr Tendo can’t take her ministering anymore, so he asked her to sit in front of him which she quickly did. He the seductively took her face in his hands and said: “I was not dating you because I wanted you to take care of me.”
Dr Tendo told Sakura that he will not be looking after Kamijo but she had to take care of him and do it well.
Kamijo continued to be depressed because despite making life for Dr Tendo difficult, the doctor still appeared rather cool.
But as Sakura promised Dr Tendo, she did her best to cheer Kamijo up and she devised little exercises to keep him moving.
Meanwhile, young Airi was finally going to have her surgery. A little mechanical heart device for children will be transplanted on her.
And Dr Tendo will be operating with Wakabayashi.
Dr Tendo was touched when little Airi confessed to him that she likes him. Puppy love.
Meanwhile Sakura did not forget to cheer Dr Tendo as well as she was cheering up Kamijo.
She made rice balls for Dr Tendo and when he found it was not a ball by almost as flat as a pancake.
It turned out that Nurse Yukito accidentally squashed the rice balls.
Dr Tendo was happily chomping them away while Sakura sat next to him.
Kamijo could see how happy they were and it only made him sadder.
Sakura went to see Dr Tendo and told him that it was Appreciation Day.
They end up in a ramen restaurant. (The ramen looked so good, I suddenly want to go to Wagamama).
Dr Tendo, however, was really too busy looking at his paperwork which he brought with him.
Dr Tendo noticed that Sakura became quiet. He asked her what was wrong?
She said not to worry, but she then told him lovingly and happily that she could stare at him forever. Awww
Dr Tendo put away his documents and then he cupped his face with his hand and seductively allowed Sakura to stare at him as much as she likes. So cute.
Sakura was in seventh heaven but got embarrassed. They were so cute.
Kamijo struck again. He just can’t take it that Dr Tendo was just so cool as if nothing can bother him so he made sure that Dr Tendo got taken off from operating on young Airi.
Th staff in the hospital was upset about it but pragmatic enough to know that they cannot really do much because Kamijo’s family has control over the matter and the hospital as they donate a large sum each year which is needed by the hospital.
Sakura felt rather guilty about it as she knew Kamijo was harassing Dr Tendo because of her.
Kamaji told her that she can change his mind if she goes to Singapore with him when he transfers as his private nurse. He said that they have a seaside resthouse in Singapore.
If she goes with him, he will drop his lawsuit against Dr Tendo.
Sakura went on a bowling date with Dr Tendo.
Dr Tendo was an expert bowler and got lucky strike everytime.
Surprisingly, Sakura did as well until the end, she had two pins left.
She made a bet with Dr Tendo that if she did a spare then he had to be with her forever.
No one is more surprised than Sakura that she managed to do it.
On their way home, Sakura started singing about raw egg and rice.
Dr Tendon asked what was she singing about.
She said it was her own investion/lyrics which she made up when she was studying nursing. She studied so hard she only ate raw egg which she would stir in rice. And then she would tell herself that she was going to see Tendo Sensei. She was going to reunite with Dr Tendo no matter what!
Dr Tendo liked what he heard. He extended his hand to Sakura and they started walking side by side and hand in hand.
Dr Tendo was told that the case lodged by Kamijo against him had been dropped.
It meant that Dr Tendo can now do the surgery on Airi.
It was a success and he was glad about it but he found out immediately that Sakura had resigned and already left.
Kamijo read the letter from Sakura. She apologised that she can’t go with him to Singapore. But she believed that he will be alright and wish him that he will be able to find something he really want to do with his life. She gave him a little booklet of what he should be enjoying after he recovers from his surgery,
Kamijo and Dr Tendo had a heart to heart as both were longing for Sakura, who had left Tokyo.
Dr Tendo admitted that Kamijo saw immediately what was special about Sakura. It took him a bit longer.
Dr Tendo reassured Kamijo that he will be able to keep going and not to worry about his health.
Kamijo told Dr Tendo to pass on a message to Sakura that he enjoyed his one-sided love on her.
Meanwhile, Sakai noticed how sad Dr Kisugi without Sakura. She finally got enough confidence to confess to him. She said she would like to be the new Sakura in his life.
Meanwhile, Sakura was working as a nurse in the countryside. It was a one-doctor and a nurse (her) in a clinic. The facility was rather antiquated.
She was asked by the doctor to get some sweets and custard in the shop. On her way back she received a call from Ruuyusei.
Speaking of Ruuyusei, she was in the bar again when Rokurou asked her what was happening to her. She mentioned that she got back from her parents’ house to discuss her marriage which she did not really want.
Rokurou surprised her by asking her “Why not be wit me? I can look after you!” Apparently he had always meant to asked her to be with him when they first dated several years ago. I love their cute romance as well.
Anyway, going back to Sakura, she finally answered the call because she felt guilty for leaving immediately without settling her rent.
The person who spoke on the phone was Dr Tendo, which shocked Sakura. She then told him that she was now settled she had a new job as a nurse and she just assisted a major operation.
She was more or less telling Dr Tendo that she was ok on her own. But suddenly a pair of arms embraced her from the back.
Dr Tendo said that Sakura was not allowed to disappear by herself and didn’t they agree that they will be together forever?
Omg! This is just the cutest.
Episode 9
Sakura’s current boss, the doctor in the clinic found Sakura and Dr Tendo being lovey dovey in the street. He said to Dr Tendo to take Sakura away and back to Tokyo.
To Sakura, he told her to show Dr Tendo around their community and let him meet her family.
Sakura suddenly got nervous.
During a family dinner, Sakura’s mother, father, grandpa, brother interrogated Dr Tendo of his true intention towards Sakura. They then assumed that he had come to ask for Sakura’s hand in marriage.
They were wondering for such a gorgeous accomplished guy, what does he see in Sakura who is not particularly pretty or outstanding? They were also curious about how they got together.
Dr Tendo was really put on the spot. He was just about to say something when neighbours also came to see the handsome doctor.
Sakura told Dr Tendo that she had never heard him say that he likes her.
Ruuyuko had a heart to heart with Dr Koishikawa Rokurou about what they talked about last time. She officially turned him down his confession that he wanted to be with her and look after her. (Stupid woman, he is rich and dishy and kind)
Poor Dr Koishikawa was regretful for taking his time confessing to her earlier in their relationship when they first went out together.
Nurse Nishi then turned up and Ruuyuko introduced him as her young boyfriend.
Sakura’s father and Dr Tendo was having a drink together. The father said that he was going to leave Sakura in Dr Tendo’s care and then he said that Sakura is quite a girl. She was the kind that would always try to finish what she started despite great discomfort and extreme hardship. She does not easily give up.
Sakura and Dr Tendo were walking hand in hand (or her hand in Dr Tendo’s pocket as it was a cold evening), when they noticed that the little hospital was still lit. Saura with Dr Tendo went inside. They found the doctor collapsed on the floor but still trying to reach for the little bottle of morphine that had fallen with the syringe.
The doctor confessed that he was in the late stage of cancer and would die soon. He had no regrets as his wife had passed on and his children are grown up and able to look after themselves. He told them that to be able to live well is to learn to accept death.
Sakura and Dr Tendo were back at her house. They found that Sakura’s mother had already made the bed for them. They were to share the same bed which shocked Sakura but her mother told her that as they were dating…..
When they were left alone, Sakura confessed to Dr Tendo how much she missed him.
Dr Tendo was just about to kiss her when he said that someone was there with them.
And sure enough, four pairs of eyes were spying on them. LOL
Dr Tendo said he was going to sleep on the floor while she takes the bed but Sakura cuddled up to him and promptly went to sleep.
They were back at Huira Hospital. Everyone was happy to see Sakura, and even the usually quiet Sakai was tearful. Sakura gave her a hug.
Everyone also noticed that Sakura was even more cheerful than usual.
Nurse Yukito said that because Sakura was getting ‘it’ from Dr Tendo. The other nurses told of Yukito for being crude but they did agree that probably that was it.
Sakura heard their banter about her sex life and told herself that she had not done it with Dr Tendo.
Meanwhile, Nishi waited for Ruuyuko outside her apartment building. He said to her that he was young and still a new graduate and inexperience but he likes her so much.
Ruuyuko told him that she does not need words, what she needed at this point in her life is action.
The special patient in this week’s episode is a cancer patient who only has six months to live. He was requesting oblation so he could spend the last remaining months traveling with his wife. He had always dreamed of traveling while he was still working.
Dr Tendo agreed to do the oblation.
Wakabayashi once again confessed to Dr Tendo. But once again he rebuffed her. He said that she really does not like him, she just sees him like a shadow to her dead sister. She had to get over it.
Having not done ‘it’ with Dr Tendo really bothered Sakura so she asked for advice from Yukito for a male perspective.
Yukito said that there are only two things why a boyfriend had not jumped his girlfriend. First, she is not sexy and the second, he really cares about her.
Sakura immediately thought that she was not sexy so to remedy it she invited Dr Tendo for a cream party with a possible dessert, lol, saucy minx.
Dr Tendo turned up at Sakura’s flat.
She was dressed sexily and the creamy offerings were set on the table. And plenty of flickering candles for ambiance.
Sakura tried some scintillating conversation with Dr Tendo, who was as usually quiet. He was eating lovely crab croquettes.
In desperation, Sakura said she was hot from all the candles and she was going to take a bath.
Dr Tendo finally spoke and said that Sakura sucks (from playing sexy). He stood up and cornered Sakura for a kiss. He said that she does not know how hard it had been for him….
He then pushed her in the bed and said, “I am not letting you sleep tonight.” (omg, my heart!). He was kissing her and unbuttoning her dress when suddenly a drunk Ruuyuko and Kairi barged in.
The next morning, Sakura was happily going to work with Dr Tendo when they saw an accident about to happen. A runaway car was about to plow into pedestrians. Both Sakura and Dr Tendo tried to help and got caught in the accident themselves.
Dr Tendo noticed that Sakura was rather in a bad way but she still went ahead an helped the many injured people until the ambulance arrived.
Dr Tendo told her to ease up but she said she was a nurse and nurse she must do as he had trained her.
Finally, the ambulance was there and had taken the injured.
Sakura started falling backwards. It could have been really worse if Dr Tendo was not able to hold on to her before she hit the ground.
She had a blunt force trauma on her head and Dr Tendo was told that if part of her brain is really damaged, she might not be able to regain consciousness.
Dr Tendo stayed with Sakura holding her hand whenever he was not on duty. He had not slept but would watch her in vigil.
Sakai was overwhelmed with what had happened to Sakura. She was left crying. She was comforted by Dr Kisugi.
Wakabayashi also realised that Dr Tendo was ultra devoted to the comatose Sakura.
On the fourth day, Dr Tendo told the sleeping Sakura that she had had enough sleep already. It was time to wake up. By the way, why was any member of her own family not show up to see her?!!!
Dr Tendo as his usual was in mid-insult to the comatose Sakura when her fingers started moving in his hand.
Sakura was awake. She immediately asked how the people at the accident were and also about the man with the oblation?
Seeing that Sakura was now compos mentis, he stood up but stopped and started telling her, confessing why he likes her. He said that he likes everything about her even her annoying habit of messily eating ice-cream and her inability to do chores. But what he likes most about her was when she laughs, she is the cutest in the world. He was crying. He then said iskedes. ‘I like you.” awww
He then went to hold her again and said. “Don’t dare leave me again.”
Roll on final episode. 🙂 🙂 🙂
The trailer for the finale shows that Sakura will be offered a chance to study abroad.
Episode 10 – Finale
Dr Tendo and Sakura are now fully-fledged lovers. They stay at each other’s flats. Her accident really bonded them together.
Ruuyuko went to a matchmaker and met the family and potential husband. She was informed that the family was all teetotaller.
Suddenly Ryuusei appeared and proclaimed not to marry the guy.
Ruuyuko then ran off with him.
Ruuyuko knew she will be in trouble with her parents so she begged Sakura to go home with her so see the parents. The parents won’t be too emotional if someone else was there.
Sakura could not really decline a potential sister-in-law in her time of need. The mention of parents made her daydream of marrying Dr Tendo. Ruuyuko had to shake her off her daydreaming.
Dr Tendo had been tasked to speak about the successful operation done on little Airi. He had to talk about the mechanical heart during a press conference to explain the procedure.
Anyway, Ruuyuko took Sakura with her to go home. Home was so impressive, Sakura called it a mansion.
Sakura was wearing a black suit and when they met Dr. Tendo senior (father), who is maturely handsome, he asked his daughter why she brought a lawyer with her.
Ruuyuko said she was a friend.
Inside the mansion, Mrs. Tendo was cheerfully preferring some dumplings, while her husband gave to his anger with his daughter from mucking a marriage matchmaking by running away with a young boy.
He told her that she was useless, that she did not have direction in her life and can see that she would always be that way and not even want to take over the business from him.
Sakura can’t take all the negativity being thrown to Ruuyuko, she said that Ruuyuko was an inspiration to her, she was a loving sister, who looks after her brother well. She was so cool.
The sermon seemed to go on from the father and again Sakura interrupted by saying the dumplings looks appetising as moved to the table.
Mr Tendo Senior finally asked who she really was as she seemed to interrupt a lot.
Suddenly the door open and in walked Kairi who said that Sakura was his girlfriend, the one who changed him, giving his father a meaningful look. He further added that Sakura is the girl he intends to marry.
Everyone was surprised by happy but not as happy as Sakura who started to hop joyously. Kairi had to calm her down.
Sakura was in heaven and was contentedly chomping away hot dumplings.
Dr Tendo Senior noticed how Kairi was smiling watching Sakura’s antic. This made Dr. Tendo Senior thaw towards Sakura.
Ruuyuko was just leaving the house when she saw Nishi waiting outside. He said he had to come to explain his actions yesterday to her parents.
Ruuyuko said that it had been sorted. They were walking in her neighbourhood and into the high street when they came across Tendo General Hospital. Ruuyuko said that she finally knew what she wanted to do. She will take over the hospital to show her father that she was not a loser.
She then told Nishi that when she had matured, she will come to find him. She then qualified that perhaps it was unfair for him to wait for her.
Meanwhile, Kair and Sakura were in his own playground, where they had the sweetest interaction. Sakura back hugged him while he was sitting on a swing. She told him that she loves him and that made him smile tenderly.
The next day, Dr Tendo was passing a Tiffany & Co where he looked at rings.
Wakabayashi invited both Dr Tendo and Sakura to lunch where she formally apologised to Sakura. She showed them her sister’s diary where Minori wrote that she hoped Kairi will find someone who could make him smile once again.
Wakabayashi said that Dr Tendo has been exuding happiness since he got together with Sakura.
But it was not happily ever after yet because there was a little hindrance.
It was the Regional Comprehensive Care Study offered to nurses to study abroad. This course/training will allow nurses to assist patients in and out of the hospital.
Her co worker thought Sakura was the best candidate. Though she declined it eventually, it was obvious that she was tempted to go for it and Dr Tendo noticed it.
So he told Sakura to go.
Sakura said how could she? Being parted from him even for a few hours was unacceptable, she can’t certainly do it for a year.
Dr Tendo hugged her to him and said he felt the same but he saw it her eyes that she wanted to go.
So without much preamble, Sakura packed her bag and was ready to go on the same day as when Dr Tendo was giving the seminar on the mechanical heart.
As only Sakura would do, she thought and told Dr Tendo that her flight was 6 pm when in fact it was 14:00. So Dr Kisugi had to signal Dr Tendo that Sakura was about to fly while Kairi was in the middle of his lecture.
Dr Tendo, ever the professional, continued with his speech but Rouruko, the VP, can see that he was bothered. So he announced that Dr Tendo was being called out on an emergency so he had to take over.
Dr Tendo hurried to the airport. He caught Sakura at the last minute. They hugged tightly and Kairi presented her with the beautiful Tiffany engagement ring and made her promise not to cheat on him.
Sakura smiled and promised and kissed him passionately.
One year later…
Sakura came back and was crossing the road with her suitcase when Dr Tendo called her from the other side.
She ran back to him happily to which he commented that it looks like she was still madly in love with him. Awwww
At the hospital, Sakura was warmly welcomed and given a surprise… wedding.
Kairi and Sakura looked totally gorgeous but she had a little Cinderella moment where she tripped and Kairi had to kneel down to help her put on her shoes.
They finally reached the altar. Dr Tendo said his vow and Sakura was about to say her vow but someone collapsed and the wedding was canceled until further notice.
The man who collapsed was ok.
Dr Tendo then asked Sakura that she did not give her answer to the vow.
Sakura said, “I Do” and Dr Tendo kissed her passionately in front of the staff. Awww
It was so cute. Loved this drama. I had looked forward to it every week. Thank you subbers! More power to you.
Did you know?
There are extra minutes lasting just under 18 minutes to each episode?
These extra minutes are often really hilarious.
The extra for episode 10 was about the newlywed Kairi and Sakura.
Sakura is now known as Tendo Nanase and she was loving it and still excitedly getting used to it.
She was all lovey-dovey to her gorgeous husband but he was still the same, rather dour at work.
Sakura ran into the new nurse and she recognised him as the god cat who she told Kairi she bumped into the first day she came to work.
But the god cat who heard what was being said intoned that au contraire, he had met them 5 years ago. He did everything so the two could meet. He stopped a lady doing a street basking, he stopped a lady beating her mat, he stopped children from making too much noise.
This is really such a cute extra episode and it ended with everyone, the entire cast, dancing with the cat nurse with a meow meow.
The story is about a girl who entered the palace disguised as a boy in order to study medicine and exact revenge to those who framed her father resulting in the massacre of her family. She was the only survivor.
Bent on revenge, her situation got complicated when the General Ji who made her his personal eunuch learned she was a girl and wanted to make her his wife.
Cute.
Rumour: News going around that this drama will be released on 18 Janaury 2020!
Rumour is factual!
Episode 1
Note: Tian Qi is pretending to be a boy eunuch so she could enter the medical academy. So if I use the pronoun he/she then please just bear with it. 😜
19-year-old Dr Tian Qi was crying uncontrollably over the coffin of Infanta Shucheng, the fiancee of General Ji.
The Infanta was about to marry the general, which accounts for the red banner decorations everywhere which annoyed General Ji when he went to see the body of the Infanta.
A few days previously…
Tian Qi (pretending to be a boy eunuch) came top of the newly qualified doctors at the General Medical Academy and as such, ‘he’ was told that ‘he’ will become a physician for the emperor.
Tian Qi, thinking on her feet, said that she dare not go accept the position because is known a hoodoo, a curse, a jinx. She elaborated that she had caused many to die just being near her and she would not impose herself to the emperor.
Tian Qi was really determined to go to Mansion Ji, because she heard that the killer of her father and the rest of the family was someone from the Mansion.
Her Shifu at the academy was being assigned to Mansion Ji so she begged him to take ‘him’ as his intern.
His Shifu finally agreed but for a price of 200 guan. It was a lot of money but Tian Qi was desperate so she agreed.
Anyway, Tian Qi got along well with the Infanta. She was helping the infanta to be even more attractive and memorable to General Ji, who happens to be a gorgeous man, popular with the women despite his reputation for utter cruelty in battles.
During a tea party held by the General to introduced his soon to be wife, the infanta, an assassin who was about to attack the general knocked into Tian Qi, who fell on the lap of the General, who with one hand, held on to the blade of the knife used to attack him while stopping the assassin altogether.
The General then told Tian Qi who was still resting on his lap to get up.
While the assassin was being apprehended, the Infanta collapsed.
And a few hours later, she was declared dead by poisoning.
And this how the General found Tian Qi. She was crying disconsolately, burning incense and money and papers by the coffin. Because just before the General turned up, Tian Qi was crying so hard because she knew without the infanta she will be sent back to the General Medial Academy. She had already spent a lot of money to be able to stay at Mansion Ji. Then she saw the jewels which will be buried with the Infanta. She thought it would not really benefit the infanta to where she was going but it would certainly be of use to her. She was just about to take them when there was a ghostly haunting.
Immediately, Tian Qi knelt down asking for forgiveness. She was crying so much she did not notice that the General was standing next to her. Only when she reached down to what she thought was her hanky which she used to mop up her tears and blow her nose noisily into that the cloth was in fact the hem of the annoyed General’s hanfu.
The General asked who ‘he’ was. He did not trust her. He asked his bodyguard to find out everything about the young doctor.
He wanted to find out what the excessive grief of the young doctor over the infanta. He suspected that perhaps they were lovers!
The General was in his mansion when an assassin appeared. After a beautifully executed martial arts where the General won it in the end, he found out that his assassin was his brother Yi Zheng who had just come back from his travel.
They were happy to see each other and General Ji asked him to stay with him as he needs him to help him with things in the empire.
There was a newly acquired backstory story for Yi Zheng. A few days ago he was crossing the bridge when he saw a beautiful elegant woman. He fell in love with her at first sight. But she did not even notice him. He accidentally has gotten hold of her hanky.
The woman was, of course, Tian Qi, who was at that time dressed as a girl.
Episode 2
Tian Qi was on her way to see her ‘Aunt’ Wang Hong who runs a brothel with Uncle Lin. They looked after her when her parents and whole family were massacred.
She told them that she might have to leave Mansion Ji because the infanta had been poisoned and died.
Anyway, the General received the report about Tian Qi. He learned that she was some sort of pariah at the academy because she had told them that she was a hoodoo.
Instead of being wary, the General felt a little sympathy for TIan Qi. He said that once upon a time he was also called a hoodoo who would kill his own father to get to the power.
However, he still did not trust Tian Qi and after she confessed that she needed the money was the reason she was crying piteously.
The General, however, ordered that ‘he’ be punished with 30 lashes.
He then told her to look after his azaleas and make sure she found out who poisoned the infanta before all the flowers dropped.
Tian Qi was tending to the flower carefully when the General started plucking them.
Episode 3
The General was really putting Tian Qi into all sorts of bother. He started plucking the flowers because he was blackmailing Tian Qi into agreeing to become the bait for the poisoner who murdered the infanta to come out into the open.
Tian Qi had to agree but really got scared remembered that she was the only one left of the Shen family. Her mother and father before they died had told her that she must live a good life and to stay out of trouble and yet here she was putting herself in danger.
It seems Tian Qi and General Ji had more in common than they think. They were actually childhood friends who lost touch.
General Ji had always felt guilty and still gives him nightmare that he was too late to save the Shen family. He had been looking for little Zhao Er ever since.
As much as Ji Hen was rather petty and a tad cruel to Tian Qi, he had always felt that he reminded him of young Zhao Er and this he found confusing.
Meanwhile, Ji Zheng received information that the anonymous girl he fell in love at sight with had been seen entering Bar Warhong, a popular brothel in town.
Ji Zheng was rather disappointed upon hearing that the brothel owner was rather familiar and welcomed the girl happily.
Episode 4
Ji Hen was suffering from sleep disorder partly due to his worry and guilt about Zhao’er, the girl who might have been killed with her parents. As they can’t find her body, he hoped that she escaped.
Ji Hen was very fond of the little girl and might have been a little in love with her as well when he was also just a little boy. He still remembered the girl insisting to buy his and her’s masks during the festival. She did not know then the meaning of the masks. They were for lovers.
Anyway, despite his love for Zhao’er, he is uncomfortably drawn to Tian Qi because, for some reason, Tian Qi reminds him of Zhao’er.
As Tian Qi was a ‘boy’ he was doubly cruel to him sometimes but he gets angry if anyone else victimises Tian Qi.
Tian Qi was being set up as the fall guy by the murderer. Thank goodness Ji Hen knew about this.
Tian Qi had become Ji Hen’s personal doctor as well as the fan handler.
Episode 5
Ji Zheng found out that the girl he was looking for was in fact a eunuch who was a doctor as Ji Mansion. This was rather a long story but in short, servants led by Sun Dali were bullying Tian Qi. She was running away from them when Ji Zheng noticed how the boy (Tian Qi) looked so much the girl in the bridge.
Ji Zheng helped Tian Qi but she got hit on the forehead.
Ji Zheng asked his bodyguard, who also noticed the resemblance of Tian Qi to the drawing that Ji Zheng had made of the girl in the bridge.
Ji Zheng half agreed that the girl might be one and the same as the Tian Qi. However, he commanded that his bodyguard should investigate Tian Qi’s background further.
Ji Hen noticed that Tian Qi had a bleeding bruise in her forehead. She went to find out what happened.
He had Sun Dali punished when he found out that it was him who hurt Tian Qi.
As his personal doctor, Tian Qi was always with him. She would fan him to sleep and would ended falling asleep by his bedside.
The guards began to gossip especially when then were seen in a rather compromising position.
Rumours started spreading that Tian Qi and Ji Hen were in a gay love affair.
Ji Zheng went to tell his brother about the rumours and advise him to be not around Tian Qi so often after all they were only using Tian Qi to smoke out the poisoner.
Ji Hen was not having this and got annoyed.
Ji Zheng realised that Ji Hen did not know that Tian Qi was a girl.
Ji Hen had told Tian Qi that he did not need her that night so he(she) could go home. He noticed though that significant smell to Tian Qi.
Tian Qi told him that it was the gardenia from her scent pouch she made. She said that she always had one since she was a little.
Ji Hen told her to leave the pouch to him. He thought that that was the secret why he could now sleep at night.
But once again he woke up from a nightmare while still clutching the pouch. He then realised that it was not the scent that made him fall asleep, it was Tian Qi.
His guard noticed how rather dejected and stressed he was so he asked if they should call Tian Qi.
At first, he said no but Ji Hen changed his mind and ordered to get Tian Qi.
It was a good thing too because during that time Tian Qi was unconscious and being snuck out of mansion Ji.
Ji Hen found out that Tian Qi was missing and ordered immediately a total lockdown of Mansion Ji.
The masked kidnapper was almost caught but he opted to chuck the bound Tian Qi into the pond/lake.
Episode 6
I have to say this drama is aptly titled at Dr Cutie. The lead girl is so darn cute but the male lead is absolutely gorgeous. He can count himself as one of the most gorgeous actors in a historical costume.
Their chemistry is so appealing.
Anyway, Ji Hen caught in his peripheral vision that a man in black was dumping a body in the pond/lake.
Ji Hen jumped in to the rescue which was witnessed by his brother, Ji Zheng.
Ji Hen rescued the bound and unconscious Tian Qi. He was just about to check on her when Ji Zheng told him to leave because it was not appropriate that JIn Hen, being a general should put himself into danger to save a mere doctor in the house.
Ji Hen did see the logic of what Ji Zheng said and left.
Anyway, he returned later to check on Tian Qi. She was surrounded with everybody from the manor who wanted to know who saved her.
She can’t really tell as she was unconscious then but they needed her to give an answer.
Ji Zheng came to the rescue and said that it must be the legendary giant turtle he had heard about a long time ago while he was growing up. He said that it was more than likely that the spirit turtle got fed up because no one was talking about him anymore and what better than save someone to get himself trending once again.
His audience believed him at once.
Anyway, Tian Qi realised that her life was really in the hands of assassins so she decided to find out more about his father. What was the reason why he was banished suddenly from Mansion Ji?
Tian Qi managed to get inside the well-guarded document library.
She was almost found out but Ji Zheng saved her.
Ji Zheng asked what was she looking for in the library.
Tian Qi made up a story about being in love with someone and wanted to find out about their birthday.
Ji Zheng was curious and surprised that she was already in love with someone. He asked it it was one of the guards, or even his brother.
Tian Qi pretended to be scandalised. She said why would she like a guard. She’s a man.
Ji Zheng was impressed with her quick wit.
But he did not let her get away because he saw her again and confronted her that he saw her dressed a girl outside the mansion.
She pretended to do self-harm if he continued to insist that she was a girl.
Ji Zheng can’t really force her to confess but he thought that he will watch her more assiduously.,
Meanwhile, Tian Qi and Ji Hen had such a cute scene involving the pot plant which had all the flowers dropped off.
Tian Qi was trying to distract Ji Hen from seeing it. He knew but he pretended otherwise and they were just the cutest.
Love this drama for a light-heart uncomplicated watching.
Episode 7
.It has been revealed than Madame Su was the mastermind of the killing of the Infanta. Madame Su is Ji Hen and Ji Zheng’s stepmother, being their father’s concubine.
Episode 8
Madame Su was protecting a bigger mastermind. Rather than reveal who he was or where he was hiding, she poisoned herself.
Now Ji Heng and Ji Zheng were back almost at square one finding the real killer of the infanta or rather the one who wanted to assassinate Ji Heng which unfortunately put the infanta in the thick of it.
Tian Qi saw the man going to Mansion Ji who betrayed her father. It was Sun Cong Rui.
Episode 9
Ji Heng was trying to smoke out the assassins so he decided to use the alibi of going to military training. He took with him a reluctant Tian Qi.
During a lunch break, Tian Qi wandered into a clearing. It was surrounded by peach blossoms. Somehow the place brought some nostalgia. The place looked familiar. She started thinking of happy days with her father and mother.
She was lost in her daydream when Ji Heng found her. He thought she was a girl as she was singing sweetly and had her eunach hat decorated with pretty flowers.
Ji Heng pretended to punish her by making her, who is supposed to be a boy, walk in front of the other men with flowers on her hat.
When they got to their destination, Ji Heng asked her to help him undress for his bath. Tian Qi was really not happy about it but Ji Heng was giving her the ferocious look.
She managed to take off his top and then he changed his mind when she nervously started to remove his trousers.
Ji Heng started suspecting that perhaps Tian Qi was a gay boy. The thought made him rather uncomfortable.
On the second leg of their travel, they were ambushed by a bank of black ninja. There were some spectacular fighting scenes where Ji Heng and Ji Zheng, who came to the rescue excelled. Both the actors who played them were gorgeous.
During the mayhem, Tian Qi tripped while running towards Ji Heng. Her falling into him saved him from an arrow that went into her chest.
Tian Qi was brought into a manor, while Ji Zheng went to look for a doctor.
Ji Heng was looking after Tian Qi, who was death pale and in absolute agony. Ji Heng offered to take out the arrow as he was aware of how to stop the bleeding. But first, he had to cut down her clothes.
Tian Qi was beyond modesty but she did beg Ji Heng that whatever he finds out, he must not kill her.
Episode 10
When Tian Qi woke up all patched up, she worried that Ji Heng had found out her secret but Auntie Hong was there and comforted her that her secret remains hidden. Aunt Hong came just in time to remove the arrow.
But she told Tian Qi that she must have been extraordinarily special to General Ji because he stayed with her all night, looking after Tian Qi himself.
Aunt Hong tried to convinced Tian Qi to abandon Mansion Ji but Tian Qi said not before she found out who had her parents killed.
Tian Qi also mentioned that the person who betrayed her father was still at Mansion Ji. He was Sun Cong Rui.
When Tian Qi got better, she went back to Mansion Ji. She was surprised at how popular she had become. She was being warmed welcomed by everyone. Her teacher said that was because there was a rumor that she had become a trusted personnel of the General.
In fact, the general had her old lodging cleaned up. He also had another bed put in his manor so she can use it when she stays the night with him (fanning him or watching him sleep).
Episode 11
Tian Qi for taking the arrow for Ji Heng. She then asked if she can have a day off the next day to deposit her reward money then perhaps spend the day in the busy market place just to do a bit of shopping, mingle and see some shows. She then asked half-jokingly if Ji Heng wanted to go with her.
He did.
So they went on a date and Ji Heng said it was rather strange to be too formal with each other so he said why not call him Bai.
They were having a good time looking around in various shopping carts.
Tian Qi forgot for a moment that she was supposed to be a boy when she saw an arrow of accessories. She saw a lovely hairpin.
The vendor was looking at her strangely and so did Ji Heng.
Tian Qi immediately said that she was buying it for a girlfriend.
As a cover, she spotted a girl who she asked if she could try the hairpin in her lovely head.
After a brief hesitation, the girl agreed but her boyfriend/admirer arrived and started a fight with Tian Qi.
Ji Heng did not do anything to help.
The fight was getting out of hand, so Tian Qi ran off with Ji Heng.
In a hidden corner, Ji Heng fought of their chasers one by one.
Afterwards, they Tian Qi and Ji Heng continued meandering in the market.
Thinking that Ji Heng still suspect that she was either gay or a girl, Tian Qi dragged him to a book cart where she proceeded to look at porn.
Ji Heng was so shocked and even more shocked when the bookseller said that his number one customer was General Ji. He then showed them a poster of a rather swarthy General Ji, which was photoshopped.
Poor Ji Heng was between humiliation and anger which made Tian Qi giggled so much.
Before Ji Heng fully recovered from this embarrassing situation, Tian Qi dragged him to a brothel.
Tian He hired a room and had four lovely ladies to serve them. She made it looked like she was a regular.
She then pushed the girls to Ji Heng and left them all to entertain him.
Now he was incandescent with rage.
But not so upset enough because he gave a free pass to Tian Qi, which meant she can come and go in Mansion Ji.
Tian Qi was feeling the kindness and utter gorgeousness of Ji Heng while she watched him sleep. But she told herself that she cannot be in love because she has a mission to avenge her parents.
Episode 12
Ji Zheng was both jealous and feeling guilty of what he knew about Tian Qi.
He wanted to tell Ji Heng that Tian Qi was really female but Tian Qi might get kicked out of Mansion Ji, he likes her too much for that.
Anyway, he followed Tian Qi when she left the mansion again.
He finally confronted her about her true gender.
When Tian Qi started saying that he was really boy, Ji Zheng said that he would see it for himself.
Tian Qi had to confess the truth.
Episode 13
Ru Yi, Ji Heng and Ji Zheng’s nephew came to stay at Mansion Ji. For some reason, the young boy attached himself to Tian Qi and had started calling her ‘mom’.
Ji Zheng found this too ridiculous and got annoyed of teaching his nephew silly things.
Madam Ji, Ji Heng’s mother had come back from the temple together with her assistant, the commander of Mansion Ji, Chen Wu Yong.
Chen Wu Yong had a reputation for being wicked and cruel.
Dr Ding and Tian Qi saw the commander ordering a maid to be given 50 lashes for not maintaining the pristine condition of his apartment at the mansion.
Chun Hua saw Tian Qi and Dr Ding. She warned them not to get into the bad side of Mr Chen. She also said to Tian Qi that as soon as she saw Mr Chen again, she suddenly remembered that it was him who was wearing the Buddha jade bracelet that Tian Qi was asking about.
Little Ru Yi was telling Madam Ji how much she likes Tian Qi. Madam Ji got curious about the doctor who seemed to be popular with everyone including to her own son, Ji Heng.
Meanwhile, Tian Qi went to see Mr Chen with a small chest of jade jewels including the red bead jade Buddha bracelet as an offering.
Upon seeing the bracelet Mr Chen was visibly shocked.
Tian Qi asked why he seemed interested with the Buddha bracelet.
Mr Chen said that he used to own it and had given it to someone else. He was surprised to get it back again.
Seeing the bracelet again had given Mr Chen a nightmare. In his dream, his throat was cut by Tian Qi.
Because of this, he planned to get rid of Tian Qi.
He recruited the maid of the former concubine to tell Madam Ji that Tian Qi was known for being a jinx and the sooner that they get rid of her the better.
Madam Ji concocted her own plan which was influenced by Mr Chen.
She met up with Ji Heng and Ji Zheng for a welcome home dinner. It turned out that Ji Heng was her son but Ji Zheng was the son of a concubine.
Madam Ji had a hand with the death of the young concubine. She forced the girl to drink poison. She then had taken Ji Zheng as her own son. Ji Zheng quite loved her as well.
Anyway, she told her sons that it was time that they are married.
Both boys said that they were not ready.
Knowing that she can’t force them in that subject, she started telling Ji Zheng that she heard so much about Tian Qi from Ruyi. She said that it would be good if Ji Zheng could give the doctor to her so Tian Qi could look after her, now that she was getting older. This would also be good for Ru Yi who had taken a liking to the young doctor.
With this explanation, Ji Zheng could not really say ‘no’ to his mother.
He was going to see Tian Qi about it but he got the news that Tian Qi was under quarantine.
Tian Qi had colluded with Dr. Ding about inducing the chickenpox ailment so that she does not have to transfer to Madam Ji’s mansion immediately.
Dr. Ding agreed because he was the one who told her the gossip that Madam Ji was meant to have her killed.
Ji Zheng found out that Tian Qi had the pox. Despite the quarantine, he forced his way into the sick Tian Qi’s room. He then told Dr Ding that he will look after Tian Qi.
Meanwhile, Ji Zheng was aching to see Tian Qi but it would look bad if he actually did.
Episode 14
Rumours were abound that there was an unseemly relationship between Ji Zheng and Tian Qi.
Chen Wu Yong did not waste any time conveying this to Madam Ji. He also mentioned that Tian Qi seemed to latch on to men very easily and even General Ji was not averse in protecting the young doctor.
Chen also mentioned that he heard Tian Qi was a hoodoo. The faster they get rid of him the better.
Ji Zheng was in town and had met with his friend Sheng Zhaofeng, who took him to a brothel to prove that the rumours were baseless.
Zhoufeng had told them that the rumours were initiated by the son of Sun Congrui as revenge for making him sail in the river running through the town naked for all the public to see.
Meanwhile, Madam Ji called her son about Tian Qi. She said that Tian Qi was not suitable to be around Mansion Ji because she was a hoodoo.
Ji Heng, without batting an eyelid, said then they must execute Tian Qi immediately. Ji Heng then said that he used not to believe about supernatural knowledge but after meeting Hermit Yuhang he had changed his mind. Everything seemed to make sense when he was taking with Hermit Yuhang.
Madam Ji who believed in that kind of thing immediately wanted to speak to Hermit Yuhang, who said that Mansion Ji had an excellent Feng Shui. It has a pond, with plenty of carps, tall pine trees which means good fortune and posterity.
Hermit Yuhang noticed that it seemed there is was troubling Madam Ji.
Madam Ji readily said that there was.
Hermit Yuhang said that he knew that this might be someone and he would like to see the birth sign of that person.
Hermit Yuhang looked at the information and immediately said that this person was super bad luck.
Madam Ji was really troubled now.
However, Hermit Yuhang said that keeping the person very closed to the fortunate General Ji would only enhance his good luck. It would be a case of the perfect yin and yang. They go together.
Immediately, Madam Ji ordered Chen to stop the execution.
Sheng Anhui had arrested Tian Qi and was making her work round and round.
Tian Qi asked so many questions and Sheng Anhui told her that if she knew what was good for her then she should cease and desist with her many questions.
Tian Qi said can she asked a last question? General Ji was only doing this to save her from the gallows.
Ji Zheng turned up and he was powerless to do anything as he would be fighting his brother’s army.
Chen came by and announced that Madam Ji wanted the execution to be stopped.
Episode 15
Tian Qi had become a favoured commodity to Madam Ji. To protect Ji Heng she had now to protect Tian Qi as well.
Ji Zheng met Tian Qi in town again. He forced her to accept a jade token, which Tian Qi was very reluctant to take.
Ji Zheng said that he felt really helpless when he cannot save her but with his personal jade token, she just had to show it and they would know tht she was Ji Zheng’s man.
Ji Heng was contemplating how he was going to go about getting more money in terms of taxation without penalising the poor.
He said it was time that the nobility did their fair share of paying taxes. He would start with Sun Congrui.
Sheng Anhuim, the gossip, said that there was rumours going around that there was more to the friendship between Ji Zheng and Tian Qi. They were always seen in town in a rather intimate manner.
Ji Zheng was so annoyed when he found out that Tian Qi had gone out again.
He went to find her and sure enough she was with Ji Zheng and saw them holding hands.
He then followed them to a drink house and surprised them.
Ji Zheng was ordered to leave them and told off Tian Qi.
Tian Qi humbly accepted what he said. Tian Qi said that she accidentally met Ji Zheng; it was not Ji Zheng fault it is just like normal young men, Tian Qi was feeling horny and wanted to see some action. She was looking at the girls dancing seductively at the stage down below.
She looked like she was salivating which only made Ji Heng more annoyed.
He told Tian Qi that she was vulgar and nasty. She said she was horny and she had bought more stocks of porn books. She came to town today for the brothel and the porn.
On their way home, the carriage was ambushed by the son fo Sun Congrui. But Ji Heng had his men overpowered the son within seconds.
A servant who had been almost fatally poisoned was brought to Tian Qi. She had just started examining him when Miss Kang pushed and wanted Tian Qi to look at the little cut in her finger.
Tian Qi ignored her and Dr Ding said that he will see to the cut but Miss Kang wanted Tian Qi to treat her.
Tian Qi said that if she wanted her to deal with her cut then she had to wait.
Miss Kang threw money at Tian Qi but still was ignored.
Miss Kang went directly to Madam Ji to complain.
Madam Ji said that if she wanted to be married into Mansion Ji then she should stop being such a spoiled girl. How can she manage the household?
Ji Heng called both Tian Qi and Ji Zheng to see him. He asked Tian Qi what was her opinion when Ji Zheng turned down both the candidates for a marriage for him.
Tian Qi said that it had nothing to do with her. Master Zheng can marry anyone he likes.
Outside Tian Qi said that she heard a rumour that her and Ji Zheng were too close and that she had seduced him.
This seemed to please Ji Zheng and asked if she did seduce him. Awww, they do have good chemistry as well.
Episode 16
Ji Heng asked Tian Qi to be there when he speaks to Sun Congrui. However, Tian Qi became rather to full of herself because of her hidden anger toward Congrui.
When Ji Heng seemed to not punished Congrui, she called him bureaucratic.
Her mouth was almost unstable with her vitriol so Ji Heng had to punish her.
She had to kneel down where she was standing until it got dark and started raining heavily. Ji Heng told her to preceed to her room.
Before she could do, she fainted and had to be brought back to the room.
Ji Heng almost got seduced by the voice of Kang Ning’er singing but in the end, he went the opposite way.
Thinking that Ji Heng let off the Sun, Tian Qi became ultra-careful with Ji Heng which upset him.
Sheng Anhuai told Tian Qi that she must make up with Ji Heng and treat him like he was a friend again.
In the end, it was not too hard to treat him warmly again because he gave her a couple of chest of money.
Episode 17
Tian Qi was immediately happy to see the money before her. She then asked if Ji Heng regretted punishing her.
He was very surprised by her question but he said ‘no’.
Tian Qi then said that she cannot accept the money if there is no regret, then she does not deserve merit.
Ji Heng was flummoxed and said so to Sheng Anhui who was equally confused with money loving Tian Qi declining to get them.
Ji Heng, however, thought of a way to subtly apologise to Tian Qi.
He flew kites with a hidden message of regret. Tian Qi found one of the kites and went to find Ji Heng.
Sheng Anhuai was grinning giddily. He loved seeing his master looking happy despite finding that happiness with another man. What a gay and joyous life! LOL
Ji Zheng came to see Ji Heng. He told his brother that he was going to be staying permanently in town and even got himself his own mansion. The thing is that he needed people to fill the post in his manor. He would like to start by hoping that Ji Zheng can let him have Tian Qi as his assistant.
Ji Zheng started by being calm about it but ended up shouting at Ji Zheng for trying to poach Tian Qi. He said that they were already rumoured for having an immoral relationship. He does not want his brother and Tian Qi to live a life of wenching and debauchery.
Ji Zheng got annoyed as well while denying the accusation.
Ji Heng ended up ordering that Ji Zheng should be punished with the Ji Family Special.
In front of their family altar (or something) Ji Heng was about to commence lashing Ji Zheng when Tian Qi appeared and begged Ji Zheng to punish her instead because it was her fault.
She said that she bed Ji Zheng to take and employ her in his mansion.
Ji Heng ordered everyone out so he can talk with Tian Qi alone.
He then asked her why she wanted to leave.
She said, “I like you.”
Ji Heng was shocked.
Tian Qi said that what she meant that she admired Ji Heng so much that she feels so inferior next to him. He was so perfect, next to him she felt like they were cloud and mud.
It was the Dragon Ball Festival celebrating Daughter’s Day.
Tian Qi thought it would be clever to dress little Ru Yi as a girl and present him to Madam Ji who was desperate for a granddaughter.
Madam Ji was very amused and rewarded her for it.
However, they met Ji Heng outside and went ballistic when he saw his nephew dressed like a girl. He told off Tian Qiu for anything for money and she was so shameless.
He punished her to dress up like a girl.
As much as he does not want for Tian Qi to leave, Ji Heng was left no choice but to fire a reluctant Tian Qi from her post as his personal doctor to appease his brother.
Episode 18
Ji Heng sent Tian Qian to an isolated farming village to tend to an herb garden. He thought the father she was from him the better becasue the very sight of her irritated him so much.
But when she was finally out sight, Ji Heng found that he can’t sleep. He was missing her. His sleepness night became everyone serving him their problem as well. If he can’t sleep, they dare not sleep.
Sheng Anhui went to see Tian Qian to ask her to come back as the Ji Heng and everyone else had had not a good night sleep since she left.
Tian Qian thought about it but she cannot just return without being ordered by Ji Heng to return. Instead she gave a herbal pillow with her favourite gardenia flower in it to Shen Anhui to pass to Ji Heng. That should get him to sleep.
When Sheng Anhui returned to Mansion Ji, he told Ji Heng that what he saw almost broke his heart. Tian Qi was in such a sorry state. She was all skin and bones, she was wasting away from the heat on the farm.
Ji Heng felt so sorry and guilty about Tian Qi, he told Sheng Anhui that he will go to see for himself.
But when they got them, Tian Qian was anything but wasting away. She was making so much money for creating a wonder beauty product, a very moisturising mud medicinal mask that became popular with the young ladies of the village.
Dr Ding was so sure of their medicinal masks that he went back to Mansion Ji to give a sample to Kang Ning’er and Madam Ji. He was hoping Madam JI would be so impressed, she would overrule her son and bring Tian Qi and him back to Mansion Ji.
Episode 19
Mr Kang went to Tian Qi and Dr Ding’s cottage and had them both arrested for maliciously giving a poisoned medicinal masks to both Ning’er and Madam Ji.
Mr Kang was just about to paddle Tian Qi when Ji Zheng and his men arrived to stop them. He told Mr Kang that he has no right at all to exact punishment to anyone from Mansion Ji and its locality without permission from General Ji.
Anyway Ji Zheng took Tian Qi to JI Heng and he said the same thing to Mr Kang. And if he did something like that again, Ji Heng will personally torture Mr Kang.
As to the poisoning, he said to live Tian Qi with him alone to talk.
Tian Qi asked him if ever believed in her.
Ji Heng said that he only believed in evidence.
However, Tian Qi persevered. She reminded him what he previously said that in the army if someone protected you with their life, you have to return the favour.
She then left him defeated.
But her trouble was not over. She was then kidnapped by Mr Chen and taken to Sun Fan to kill and torture.
Episode 20
Chun Hua who witnessed the Tian Qi’s abduction went immediately to Ji Zheng for help.
Ji Zheng in return, went to Ji Heng for consultation of the abduction.
They both concluded that it would only be Sun Fan.
Then went to the Sun manor and right enough they found Sun Fan about to brand Ti Qian.
She was saved and she was grateful.
She then heard about Chun Hua having been beaten up and locked in a warehouse by the Kangs.
She went to see Chun Hua but she was locked in with her.
When the door next opened, it was Ji Heng who was half shocked and half jealous of Tian Qian locked in with a woman in the warehouse. He was so jealous, he did not bother to ask who locked her in with Chun Hua?
What Ji Heng asked if Chun Hua was that one, he remembered a lie she once said that she was already in love with someone.
Ji Heng said that Tian Qi and Chun Hua do not have to hide in some obscure places because he will arrange a marriage between Tain Qi and Chun Hua.
Chun Hua was rather happy about it.
Tian Qi begged and begged Sheng Anhui to let her see Ji Heng just once.
When she saw him, she asked JI Heng why suddenly he seemed to hate her. She thought they had become friends at least.
Ji Heng felt cornered. He said that the simplest reason was that he doesn’t need her anymore. She was now useless to him.
This really hurt Tian Qi and she doesn’t have a comeback for it so she said that she was now formally giving him a final goodbye because she doesn’t know whether she will see him again.
What she does not know was that he can’t really say what he wanted to say that he thinks he’s gay because he likes her. Hohoho.
Anyway, the Kangs can’t seem to stop themselves from plotting more dastardly acts.
Kang Ning’er drugged Ji Heng when she asked him to go drinking with her.
In his drunk/drugged state, he started seeing a girl Tian Qi in the body of Ninger. He started hugged Tian Qi tightly and then he came to his senses and saw Ning’er who he said drugged him.
He then stumbled out into Tian Qi room. Tian Qi at that moment had her hair down.
She was shocked to see him and he was as shocked to see that she was a girl. Then he fainted.
Ji Zheng was there immediately to take control of the situation before Ji Heng’s guards came looking for him.
When Ji Heng woke up from his rather seductive dream about Tian Qi, he was happy and order Sheng Anhui to get Tian Qi.
Sheng Anhui said that that might be difficult at Tian Qi was getting wed to Chun Cha.
Ji Heng ordered to cancel the wedding.
Episode 21 – She is a Girl
Yep, finally, in this episode, JI Heng was sure tath Tian Qi was a girl.
It was not easy for him to find out because in the beginning, Tian Qi was a few steps ahead of him. She asked Auntie Ye what she needed ot do to make him doubt what he believed he saw whe he was drugged.
Auntie Ye gave her a leather vest that would like she had the body of a man. It was hilarious when she started touching her chest and encouraging JI Heng to touch her muscular chest as well.
Ji Heng’s face was a masterpiece of shock and indecision.
He actually beginning to doubt what he saw. So just to confirm, he started staking her and while she was having a wash by the riverside he found her combing her long dark hair and then she removed her top. He saw a band across her breast area to obviously flatten her chest.
Ji Heng had never been happier in his life. He was like a jockey on his horse having won the race.
He started self-analyzing himself that he liked Tian Qi because deep down he had an inkling that she was a girl. He was instinctively reacting to her feminine gender. (he is was really in denial that he might be gay) the hilarious bit was that he also started thinking that, maybe Sheng Anhui might also be a woman because he also likes him and trusted him. Ji Hnegn imagining Sheng Anhui dressed as a woman whit a mustache was so funny.
After he was sure that Tian Qi was a girl, he tried to keep away from her and then realized he can’t.
Episode 22
Having inspired by Sheng Anhui’s pronouncement that if he could bring back time, he would have seized the moment and declared his love to someone.
Bearing this in mind, Ji Heng courted Tian Qi forcefully until she can say know. And before she knew it she was wearing a dress and spent the day being so cute and sweet together and free.
Ji Heng had given all the servants a day-off.
But Little Ru Yi came home early and witnessed his Uncle Ji Heng kissing Tian Qi who was dressed in a dress over a romantic backdrop of fireworks.
Ru Yi innocently told everything to his grandma, Madam JI, who was so scandalised that her son was kissing a boy in drag. LOL
She went to see Tian Qi but found her about to be kissed by her son. She was demented with shock. Asking her son how can she fave their Ancestor Ji? Her son likes boys.
Madam Ji ordered that Tian Qi should be killed at once.
But suddenly Ji Zheng was there and ready to protect Tian Qi as well.
Madam JI quickly realised that she does not only one gay son, both her sons had been seduced by Tian Qi.
Finally, both boys took pity on their mother and they simultaneously said that Tian Qi was a girl.
Madam Ji calmed down a bit but got worried because it meant Tian Qi lied at the academy. The king will be upset.
Episode 23
Madam Ji gave the brothers ultimatum regarding Tian Qi. They either report her to the King and let the king punished the girl that fooled the academy or ask Tian Ji to leave Ji Mansion.
Ji Hen objected. He said he would neither report to the king nor ask Tian Qi to leave the manor. That was final.
His mother was so annoyed, she told everything to her assistant, Commander Chen Yu Wong, who started plotting what he was going to do.
And what he did was try to kill Tian Qi, who had now turned into a beautiful girl.
Tian Qi had always been a resourceful girl, so she had a vial of powder that she spread on Chen Wuyong.
Tian Qi was rescued by Ji Zheng and then Ji Hen and yet a masked Chen Wuyong still got away. Tian Qi was sure though that the man was Chen Wuyong and that she saw the bite mark on his arm she gave him when she was a little girl after he killed her parents.
Ji Hen said that Chen Wuyong was probably realised who she was, who her parents were and was trying to kill her or Madam Ji had ordered Chen Wu Yong to kill Tian Qi.
Poor Ji Zheng was rather sad to know how loving to each other Ji Hen and Tian Qi were, though he had already given them his blessing.
Ji Zheng went drinking with his friend, Shaofeng, who came him a document that said Madam Ji had his mother killed to protect her son, Ji Hen.
That was such sad a sad scene between Ji Zheng and Madam Ji. Ji Zheng asked Madam Ji about his real mother and was it true that she forced his mother to commit suicide?
Madama Ji was shocked to find out but she was honest. She said that her husband had fallen in love with his concubine and would like make her son, Ji Zheng, his favoured son.
So she made the concubine make a choice: kill herself or kill Ji Zheng.
Ji Zheng was heartbroken that his mother had to kill herself because of him.
He then unsheathed his dagger and threatened to kill her. She closed her eyes and told him to do it but he must not take his anger on Ji Heng, who had always thought of him as a real brother.
Ji Zheng was about to slash Madam Ji’s throat but he remembered all the times that she was so loving and kind to her. She did treat her like her own. So he said he can’t be with her anymore. This was so sad, I was crying.
Meanwhile, Ji Heng found out where Chen Wu Yong was hiding.
Chen Wu Yong readily confessed why he wanted to kill Tian Qi. It was for the Ji Family, for Madam Ji to be precise.
Chen Wu Yong recounted that Shen Young (Tian Qi’s father) knew of the forced poisoning of the concubine. So Madam Ji ordered that any witness should be terminated.
Ji Heng realised that his first love, Zhao’er was Tian Qi all along.
Episode 24
Ji Heng was disgusted and heartbroken to find out what length his mother would go to to protect him. But he said that since it was because of him, he will sort it out.
Poor guy was having nightmares about it, including seen in the dream that Zhao’er can’t forgive him she stabbed.
Ji Heng felt so guilty towards Tian Qi that he started getting out of her way, even pretending that he was away.
Ji Zheng got to Tian Qi and asked who her parents were.
He was so shocked he went to his brother immediately and confronted him that he was sweeping what Chen Wu Yong did under the carpet.
JI Zheng told tian qi that Chen Wu Yong was in the dungeon of Mansion Ji.
So she went there with her uncle to find out about her parents’ murder. Ji Zheng turned up and save them from the guard.
Chen Wu Yong lied and said that Ji Heng was the one who ordered him to kill her parents.
She could not believe it, not Ji Heng but Ji Zheng that it was true.
Episode 25 The Revenge stabbing
Ji Heng finally had a confrontation with Tian Qi about her parents. She said that she hated him and can’t forgive him.
He said that he loved her and that he can’t lose her again.
He started walking towards her while she was holding a dagger. She then stabbed him and yet he kept begging her to not leave him.
Madam Ji went to see Tian Qi at the dungeon where she was locked up. She told Tian Qi that Ji Heng had nothing to do with her parents’ death.
Meanwhile Ji Zheng spoke to Madam Ji and told her that he was going to fight Ji Heng and the winner takes all or he would take Tian Qi away.
Madam Ji said to take Tian Qi away after she went to speak to Tian Qi again to ask her if she regretted stabbing Ji Heng.
Tian Qi said no, she was revenging her parents.
Ji Zheng was in a carriage leaving Mansion JI . He realise that it would be hard to make Tian Qi to like him and forget Ji Heng.
JI Heng woke up finally but he looked like death warmed up. He said that without Tian Qi, he might as well be dead.
Shaofeng was finally revealed as the villainous white robe master.
Episode 26
Tian Qi realised that despite General Ji ordering the death of her parents, she still loved him and did not want him to die.
She also found out that Ji Zheng was not the boy she met when she was still a little girl. It was Ji Heng in fact.
Episode 27
Madam Ji prayed to Buddha that if her son gets better she will live a life of utter piousness. She will become a nun.
Tian Qi went to get Aunt Hong to help cure Ji Heng.
Ji Heng, however, refused to take in his medication or had lost the will to live.
Until Tian Qi took over. She sipped some of the medication and pass it to the half-conscious Ji Heng by mouth to mouth. The onlookers including Madam Ji were amazed that Ji Heng was responding.
Madam Ji realised that the young lovers loved each other very much, more than the lovers know themselves.
When Ji Heng got better, he can’t find Tian Qi, who had been told by Ning’er to go away.
Ning’er pretended that she was the one who nursed Ji Heng.
Ji Heng told her to go away.
Shaofeng had Tian Qi kidnapped.
Episode 28 The Finale
Shaofeng and Ji Zheng had conspired to finish off Ji Heng.
Ji Heng was in his full armour attire, ready to battle it out with Ji Zheng to stop him marrying Tian Qi.
Madam Ji gave her blessing to her son to get Tian Qi/Zhao’er.
The marriage procession was just starting when Ji Heng interrupted. Saying he was there to come for his wife. He unveiled the bride and found that it was not Tian Qi.
All the confusion turned into a farce and ended with Ji Heng stabbing Ji Zheng with his sword.
Shaofeng was so happy with the outcome. One Ji brother down, next Ji Heng.
He then ordered his minions to bring out Tian Qi.
Shaofeng put a dagger next to Tian Qi’s neck. He told Ji Heng that it was either Tian Qi or him. To save Tian Qi, he had to kill himself.
Ji Heng said he will end his life that Shaofeng had to promise not to harm Tian Qi.
He then unsheathed his sword and threw it in the sky which was a signal for the lone arrow man stationed by the rood to shoot at Shaofeng.
Shaofeng was hit and then the seemingly dead Ji Zheng stood up and finished off Shaofeng with a thrust of his sword. He said that thanks to Ji Heng’s supper supple leather vest, he was unharmed. The blood came from his hands which he used to hold off the blade of the sword.
They told Shaofeng that no matter what upheavals the brothers have in their personal life, they were soldiers and would work to defend their county.
When all was settled and Ji Zheng had Tian Qi in his arms, Tian Qi got annoyed to find out that they left her out of their plans. She marched out in a huff.
Ji Zheng went to see Tian Qi and told her that he was leaving to go traveling. He said that he was so glad that he had met and loved her because she brought him a lot of happiness. He said that he realised that Ji Heng will only be the one in her heart and he wishes them both well.
Ji Heng work on getting Tian Qi back. They are so cute.
Aunt Hong, knowing that Tian Qi really loved Ji Heng but really playing it cool advised Ji Heng to work at the bordello as a servant.
He then turn up one morning and started cleaning. Tian Qi was scandalised to see General Ji scrubbing the floor. He was polishing banisters, he was a waiter, serving drinks.
Ji Heng, being gorgeous, became so popular with the ladies of the brothel. They surrounded him and they were cooing and wooing over him when Tian Qi can’t take it much longer. She pulled Ji Heng away from them and told them “He is mine.”
Oooohhhhhh so cute.
Then they had their wedding. Ji Zheng watched secretly from the roof and was eventually happy that the two most important people in his life are now together. Oooh. Love him as well.
Now the wedding night. Ji Heng could not wait to get started.
Instead of drinking wine from two cups with their arms entwined, Ji Heng only served one cup which he said should be their routine in the future. They will be always working as one. :). Always be together.
Well the naughty bits of the wedding night. They were both naked in bed covered only with a blanket.
Tian Qi asked Ji Heng what should they do next?
Ji Heng wickedly revealed the booklet of kama sutra she gave him. So cute.
Few months later….
They were in the market when Ji Heng was accosted by a couple of females wanting to know if he was married.
The loved-up Ji Heng said yes and his beautiful wife was right behind them.
Ji Heng and Tian Qi ended up by the bridge. They could not be happier and yes then can at a stratospheric level because Tian Qi whispered that he was going to be a father.
Ji Heng was confused at first as how? She said in a few months’ time they were going to have a baby.
He quickly got over his shock and hugged Tian Qi tightly and then shouted that he was going to be a father.
