23 and 24 combined review

...beautifully progressing love story...

I loved both the episodes. Qi pa DOES love kui mulang/ li xiong, finally she has all the key answers that the viewers were aware of since the beginning of the drama.... Her inner turmoil of loving both li xiong and kui mulang was very sensitively put forth in these episodes...

Qi pa is no longer the same childish princess who was trying to escape, she has accepted the mantle of the queen of the beast city. What most of the viewers forget is that all the facts that we were made aware of since the beginning, were revealed to qi pa just some time ago... This is called DRAMATIC IRONY.. Viewers were aware from the first episode that kui mulang the upright king is dying without the holy pearl, so it is but obvious that they are getting frustrated with qi pa's refusal to accept him....

To get the holy pearl there should be true love between two people... They should be soul mates... Falling in love with each other is JUST THE FIRST step in the journey of being soulmates... To be perfect soulmates one has to let go of doubt, ego, pride, insecurities, jealousy, hatred, lies and fully trust their partner.

At this point even though kui mulang and qi pa love each other they still have extra baggage of other emotions weighing them down. Qi pa upon learning that kui mulang married her for holy pearl is full of doubt and insecurity, she believes kui mulang wants her only for pearl, after lui jun clarifies to her that kui mulang will die without the pearl, it is her LOVE that makes her go to kui mulang to offer to kiss him.. But she lets her pride get in the way when kui mulang asks if she ever loved him. Kui mulang , eventhough loves qi pa allows his ego and self hatred for forcing qi pa get in the way so he rejects qi pa's offer to kiss him, he doesn't want her pity.

But as the series has already taken a step in the right direction and the protagonists have fallen in love with each other, they will have to deal with the extra baggage of negative emotions they each are carrying to become each other's soul mate.

It is good that qi pa is going back to her home, a little absence makes heart grow fonder and both should get a chance to miss each other to realise how important they are to each other.

I am fully satisfied with how last few episodes are progressing... They met, they will part to meet again and become more stronger together and now the outside forces are getting stronger... The king and the queen of the beast city will soon be tested.
