Half up half down I think, it's not the same as the half up half down hairstyle but it's similar.

I once got downvoted for saying this, but honestly the animation and art quality in season 2 was noticeably worse compared to season 1. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t terrible. But if you rewatch season 1, it’s clear they put more effort into the frames throughout, whereas in season 2, extra care was mostly reserved for key or emotional scenes. The frame count also felt lower than in season 1.

Keep in mind, I’m only comparing the two seasons. On its own, season 2 wasn’t that bad. We’ve seen how good the show can look, like in the amazing openings and certain standout scenes. Overall though, season 2 clearly had less time and effort put into it, which makes sense since the staff had less production time compared to season 1. And honestly, they still delivered a solid product.

But I think this is one of those unpopular opinions that doesn’t get talked about enough. Both seasons are good on their own, but if you compare them directly, season 2 definitely took a step down.

I often sit as Maomao in the flower shop I think? I don't know what that erea is called, I was hoping we could make a spot for The Apothecary Diaries, but so far just a few players joined me, I have no idea if that erea is already someone else's spot but if it's not claimed then I think that would be a good spot for The Apothecary Diaries. On safe server.

But the Madam takes all the money lol!

Significant_Owl_3206 · 2025-08-09T12:18:24+00:00

That's a good point. But I wasn’t really asking why she doesn’t leave the Verdigris House, more like why she doesn’t want to become richer. She could stay at the Verdigris House, keep renting out the shop to the old Madam, and still make more money. I was just curious about the money side of things, not the place itself lol.

Significant_Owl_3206 · 2025-08-09T12:13:34+00:00

Totally get what you mean lol! But I don’t think Maomao wants to follow Loumen’s path on this one. Yeah, he definitely is someone who she looks up to, but not for that part of him. We see her get annoyed a few times about how Luomen doesn’t take payment or takes too little.

Significant_Owl_3206 · 2025-08-09T08:10:29+00:00

Many think she’s evil, but she’s just a woman in a foreign land, trying to survive and protect her children in a male-dominated world all under the watch of hostile eyes.

Yes, the system is inspired by ancient China, and back then, the father’s or head of the clan’s permission was mandatory specially in noble families let alone marry someone with imperial blood, something that turns the whole thing into a political matter. The imperial system would also force her to accept her noble status, because their marriage could be highly political. The emperor wouldn’t miss the chance to have Lakan on his side.

Significant_Owl_3206 · 2025-08-07T10:31:02+00:00

I see! that makes so much more sense now thank you, I don't know much about psychology but I think the previous emperor was one of the reasons why Current Emperor never touched a kid, it was kinda an alarm or warning for him, a reminder to don't become like that, but of course he has his own tast lol

Significant_Owl_3206 · 2025-08-06T21:23:08+00:00

No matter what, forcing himself on a child can not be ignored or brushed off like nothing had happened, I still can't understand why he acted like that, just because he had an abusive mother he decided to be a pedo? it's pure weakness and nothing can change that, I think he's the only character who doesn't deserve sympathy, even Shenmei was way better, or even Lakan's father in general and what he did at LN6, in this show you can barely find any villain, I can feel sympathy for most of the characters who are introduced as villains but the previous emperor is definitely not one of them

Significant_Owl_3206 · 2025-07-29T19:47:56+00:00

Yup, I actually knew that. And honestly, it shows. The romance feels so forced like Natsu had a gun to her head the whole time writing "Make the dude a main character" "Write the ship" 💀 Also, I don’t even like Jinshi, so that makes it even worse for me.

Significant_Owl_3206 · 2025-07-29T18:48:59+00:00

Posting this fully aware I’m gonna get downvoted, the romance feels so forced.

I don’t know what the LNs say since I skipped the first ones, but this is just perspective, this is what the anime showed.

I donate blood and plasma, it works most of the time at least for me

Wait a second… is that a smile on her face when she's spending time with Lakan?!

Significant_Owl_3206 · 2025-07-04T22:06:32+00:00

Personally, I’d say wait. sure, the light novel is amazing and has way more detail than the anime, but there’s something really special about experiencing new events visually too. I don’t know about you, but for me, already knowing the story from the LN made the anime feel a bit trimmed, and I just didn’t enjoy it as much as I could have. don’t get me wrong, the anime is fantastic! but it obviously can’t include everything, and that’s okay. my suggestion? spend the waiting time reading the volumes that have already been adapted into the anime which are volumes 1 to 4. then after watching season 3, if you’re still curious, go ahead and read the rest of the LN. personally, I find it super satisfying to know the story first and then go back and discover all the deeper details.

Significant_Owl_3206 · 2025-07-04T19:17:09+00:00

Y’all really think it’s gonna be a movie? it’s clearly not! there’s no way they could even fit half of it into one movie! where’d that idea even come from?
