Since we’ll be swamped with manifold reveals in these last episodes, I want to take time now to appreciate the romance. As interested as I was with the mystery cases and power plays are, I stayed chiefly for the romance. Compared to the kdrama I was watching at the same time “Head Over Heels,” it’s […]
Coroner’s Diary: Eps 30 to 38
The thread is open. I’m assuming that all the pieces are out and any major criminal case will only involve a member of the royal family moving forward. Who else thinks the blind prince is suspect? All recruits of the Heavenly Way cult seemed to have been chosen specifically because they have a grievance against […]
Coroner’s Diary: Eps 1 to 30 Recap of the Symbols
I never trust a critic of this cdrama who brags that he/she can easily spot the murderer(s) from the get-go, as if racing the fictional characters, Shen Wan and Yan Chi, to identify the criminal before the big reveal scene is a sign of cleverness. No. A good critic is someone who can dissect the […]
Coroner’s Diary: Ep 26 The Shady Nature of the Emperor
@GB, I’m reposting my reply to you (with edits) out here so it’s easier for me to find for reference in the future. Yes, the 9th prince did not seem at all inclined to go near the emperor. He also remained mute with everyone at first. Shen Wan managed to get him to speak by […]

Coroner’s Diary: The List of Gifts
If @agdr03 was here, I would have asked to give us a list of kisses in this cdrama. That’s her forte. But she’s attending to family matters, so I’ll content myself with a list of gifts Yan Chi has given Shen Wan. I like to keep track of things like this. From Episode 3. 1. […]
Coroner’s Diary: Eps 20 to 21 Open Thread
The thread is open. I made a slight adjustment because the fifth mystery actually starts on Ep 20. Episodes 1 to 5: The mystery of the beheaded bride Episodes 6 to 10: Dark secrets in the purple bamboo grove Episodes 11 to 15: The monster of Samyuan village Episodes 16 to 19: The ballad of […]

Coroner’s Diary: Ep 15 The Proposal
You don’t have to watch the full episode or the previous episodes to appreciate the proposal at the 30:47 mark. No context is required to understand. His love confession can stand alone. I suggest if you have access to Episode 15, just fast-forward to the scene. It’s swoon-worthy in a good way. It isn’t toe-curling, […]
Coroner’s Diary: First Impressions
Don’t confused this with the anime series on Netflix called “The Apothecary Diaries.” Here’s the basic 411. The main actors? Landy Li: She’s the cutie in “GO Into Your Heart” which I enjoyed watching. She looks like Zhao LuSi. Ao Rui Peng: He was the male lead in “Wrong Carriage, Right Groom.” In some angles, […]
