Apothecary Diaries Season 1 FINALE - 1x23-24

Point of clarification Lakan was not sent to study abroad, as Jinshi pointed out when discussing Maomao’s adoptive father studying abroad is a rare privilege that only the royal family can bestow. Lakan was sent on a military campaign that was supposed to only take a few months, but ended up lasting 3 years. For some unknown stupid reason the anime changed it, not the dub, the anime itself. Jinshi mentioned earlier in the series that Lakan overthrew his father as head of the family and adopted his nephew as his heir, that’s what Lakan did immediately after learning what happened

What I don't understand is she was so popular why did the old lady let her be a regular prostitute to get used the way she did then take care of her after she got sick. Like why basically throw her out then take her in when she's ill. I suspect the reason maomao is in so much debt to the old lady is she's charging her to take care of her mother which then makes you think that old lady is fucking evil.

Chinese chess is Xiangqi and is actually a lot more complicated than western chess. Depending on the piece the empty strip across the middle can a change how it moves (simulating troops crossing a river), as can the 3x3 grid at middle of each side that acts as a castle. Also not surprised OLM knocked the animation out of the park. Being a larger studio they are really good at picking what to pour resources into and the more serious/adult series tend to get more of their efforts. contrast the animation quality from two of their earliest series they did in 1997: Berserk and Pokemon

I’m glad I waited to watch season 2 so now I get to experience it all with you!

You guys are behind! Season 3 just got released!

Today the first episode of season three. Now the season one finale here. I like. Good days.

IM FIGHTING THE URGE TO WATCH S3 UNTIL YALL GET TO IT.

Fun fact - the author of the novels has stated that if Maomao had been raised by Lakan as part of the La clan she'd be quite the villain and schemer, probably being extremely dangerous and ambitious.

The big unresolved problem is who is trying to kill Jinshi , which is clearly related to who he really is.

Karli finally gets her pinky question answered after weeks of 'why does she keep looking at her pinky'

Something subtle a lot of people didn’t pick up on is when Fengxien offers lakan which game to pick between go and chess. Lakan said “a terrible thought crossed his mind”. Had he picked chess, he would have won since she had never beaten him at the game and he could have asked her to sleep with him. But ultimately he chose to play Go, the game he had never once beaten her at. Fengxien had her own schemes too, what she wanted is to get pregnant, reduce her value, so lakan could afford to buy her and be together. Lakan getting send off to the west for 3 years was a variable no one anticipated and it blew off her entire plan

A note: Ah Dua stayed in the rear palace the whole time, it was Lishu who left after the previous emperor died and came back later. Also, based on what we know from the show so far, Jinshi may be Ah Dua's son, and Ah Dua's son may have been switched with the empress dowager's second child at birth, so IF Jinshi is her son, either way the CEmp would think Jinshi is his son or his full blood brother

Remember all the times she looked at her pinky throughout the series
