HER DAD?! 😧 The Apothecary Diaries - 1x10 - Honey

[@babmiii]

the family tree dani was making with her hands while talking at the end was fire lmao

[@babmiii]

i swear i was doing the exact same thing while watching this show

We are going to need to start keeping whiteboard in the studio 🤣 -Sam

That would help lmao ​@@TheReactPack

I think the translation as "foster siblings" is not quite correct. As far as i know it's more like "milk siblings". They both had the same wet nurse. Ah-duos mother was the wet nurse for the then prince and now emperor.

[@MrJpc1234]

Its more that that the concept of foster children has changed from the modern use of the term rather than a translation

[@Angelp99]

Love how Maomao treats Xiaolan (young servant girl) like a little sister

[@Lightkie]

It's a reciprocal relationship. In the novel, it's mentioned that the reason she visits Xiaolan so often is to stay up-to-date on current rumours.

[@Angelp99]

@@Lightkie really? Someone commented awhile back saying what I said based off what they read from the novel

[@Lightkie]

@@Angelp99 Those are not mutually exclusive. Both is true at the same time.

16:15 great job by Dani! I wish Editor-san used the pepe silva meme there haha. I'm just here for the ride. Great series....layered. It's like peeling an onion.

[@calumnyslander4050]

One thing worth keeping in mind if you're going to be theorizing is that traditional East Asian age reckoning differs a bit from what we generally use. Everyone is one year old at birth and everyone increases their age by one at the start of a new year. So someone born on New Year's Eve then 24 hours later they'd be 2 years old. So Maomao being 17 years old in the show was born between 15 and 16 years ago. Lady Lishu who's age is given as 14 is between 12 and 13 by our way of counting age. Just a thing to keep in mind.

[@Okkotsu86275]

I love how sharp Maomao's mind is. That is very quick on the uptake, she is very good MC.

She’s the best! -Sam

[@ivansegulja2540]

About theories about Mao mao dad. Remember first episode. Its said, all "man" in rear palace are eunichs. So am guessing Doctor aka Mao Mao dad, should been Eunich by then. Also, love your theories and keep them coming!!

[@TheReactPack]

Everyone is so connected 👀 -Sam

[@Le7emeChat]

There is no guessing: it is said, right here, "eunuch doctor". Maomao dad was already a eunuch at that time.

[@KurayamiNeko1026]

3:40 you gotta love how out of sync Maomao is with the other ladies in waiting, finding it strange both Lishu's taster and the one from Lihua's group are deathly afraid of here, like she didn't very directly imply the threat of death or worse lol 13:45 given these are Mandarin names rather than Japanese, Luomen wouldn't necessarily be Maomao's last name 20:50 gaslighting?

So many theories! But yeah, this episode had an info dump! 😅 But then Maomao’s dad, if he was a eunuch working as a doctor in the rear palace and was expelled from there 17 years ago…and Maomao is about 17 now? Then he might not be her biological dad? (He had to have been a eunuch already to get into the rear palace.) So many mysteries!

[@alvarel16]

Loving the discussions 👍🏼

[@Lightkie]

6:50 I think you forgot that Gaoshun previously reported to Jinshi that Ah-Duo's head leady-in-waiting Fengming is the one with burns on her arms. They already knew that much. 9:30 I had to look up what aconite is. It's another name for wolfsbane, which includes aconitine, which (you guessed it) is a toxin. "Ah-Dao"? "Liomen"? What's with the aversion against pronouncing u?

[@roblee222]

Don't worry, it'll all come together

[@sammed473]

I'm excited for your reactions to episode 11 and 12!

[@Asoeee]

more episodes!

[@4thgoal232]

He was a doctor that delivered a male baby & got expelled over the death. They said nothing about him fathering a baby as a eunech.

[@Le7emeChat]

Specialy since eunuch can't, physicaly, fathering babies.

[@Lightkie]

You too.. if you are going to spoil the story of the next episode, at least put a warning first.

[@anandpachpinde3125]

👍👍👍👍

[@Strlz_Remtachi]

let me simplify it to middle schooler brain function capacity Past Emperor and Empress had a baby same time as the Prince had a baby with Lady Ah Duo (The Prince is the current Emperor) Past Emperor's baby lived (who is the current Emperor's brother) and Prince' and Lady Ah Duo's baby passed away the rest is spoiler that will show up on the next episode

[@Chiraq872]

😍Dani🥰

[@hadihariman9704]

Kusuriya no Hitorigoto is similar to Attack on Titan. Every scene matters. You could miss important information if you're watching with half eyes closed.

[@Sugers]

Oshi no ko season 2 ?

[@szaxa272]

Yeah this episode started two main theories. The first that Jinshi is the son of Ah-Duo and the now Emperor, and the second that Jinshi is the son of the former Emperor, and the current Emperor's younger brother. As for Maomao's father, he was the doctor attending to the births of both children, but because he was delivering both at the same time, one died - which is why he was expelled.

[@laurarivadeneira2597]

I think he was expelled for what happened to Ah Duo as the baby died later

[@Lightkie]

It's the story of the next episode. That's what's commonly known as a "spoiler".
