Apothecary Diaries | SEASON 2 | Episode 12 (EARLY UNCUT ACCESS)

Comments

I've only recently caught up with AD hence why I'm binging your reactions now btw

Clarissa

If he doesn't get it out 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Flexie I'm dying.

Clarissa

Ohhh paused too early 121 🤣

Clarissa

Heart rate reached 107 during that scene, you almost disappearing under the dest then jumping up had me cackling 🤣

Clarissa

Jinshi is functionally, the Emperors brother. The truth, at this point, doesn't really matter. I personally believe he is biologically the Emperor's son, but I also realized it doesn't really matter. There's not a single way the truth could come out that wouldn't be a horrifically damaging scandal for the Emperor. I actually wonder, and its one of my biggest unanswered questions, if if Jinshi is in fact actually the Emperor's son, does the Emperor himself have any idea at all? Might that secret potentially be the actual reason Lumen was banished from the rear palace, because he either knew or could easily discern the truth? And if the Emperor doesn't know...oh boy, what would happen if he found out? Gyokuyou instantly becomes secondary, and Ah Duo becomes the defacto empress, technically...sounds like situation that could turn extremely nasty and complicated very quickly

Alex Hencher

Flexie could not handle the episode xD

Apologies if this has already been brought up, but I think about the context that Jinshi has experienced in love and romance where he has, over most of his life, only experienced s*xual aggression, harassment and unwanted attention from others (both men and women). If that is the only thing he knows, how can we expect him to approach love and relationships in a way that doesn't reflect what he's learned himself. That's why I do extend some grace to Jinshi's behavior, for better or worse. He's fumbling through this with no real guidance from anyone and making some big mistakes along the way. But I personally don't see him as a predatory figure.

Thait

That 121 heartrate spike xd

Roy Meulblok

when you said this is massive i thought thats not what moamoa said

Damien Frost

But folks are right when saying that she is trying to protect herself. The danger and trouble she faces as "servant of Jinshi the manager of the Rear Palace" and the danger and trouble she potentially faces as "lowborn girl that the imperial brother, Ka Zuigetsu, is in love with" are incomparable. It very much is also a danger to her day to day physical health and her way of life once this fact becomes more widely known.

Ryuuji Gremory

- Flexie frolicking, gushing and generally going mad Absolutely understandable, honestly, same

Oleg Salatov

You know what’s wild. Folks will say that she’s trying to protect herself by denying her knowledge, but I think she already knows and she’s already in danger without openly acknowledging that knowledge. She was at risk long before this and it’s tiring that she is making his identity into some sort of shield when it hasn’t stopped her life from getting interesting. I mean I get it on some level. The danger isn’t to her day to day, physically health. That’s already threatened. I believe it’s her emotional and mental health. She doesn’t want things to change or their relationship to get any more complicated. I also think she has known since the Garden Party episode from season 1, cause a few episodes later she makes the switch theory which only works if she thinks Jinshi is the brother.

Wildflower Ink

This contains spoilers and incorrect info. I wouldn't watch it.

Lucia Petrozzi

that was in fact the appropriate reaction

Abracalabrador

Jinshi + Ka Zuigetsu = Jinka — the name he used back in season one when he was out of the palace in disguise.

Aleksejs

Ooooh! Yes - rather than a threat it's more like, to help him lol

Jessica McCann

Seeing as how the imperial family is almost godlike in stature, just imagine the enormity of a reveal like that to " a girl of lowly birth", as Maomao likes to call herself. To suddenly have someone say, "I'm the second most powerful person in the world and I love you". It would be mind blowing. No wonder she wants to avoid any involvement. I liked your take on Jinshi putting on a different persona. Much like Maomao putting on her freckles, dressing down and acting less capable than she really is. Deep down they are two of a kind.

Buzzard

Shuhei over here casting some insane Bankai to put us all under his illusion these past couple episodes with Aizen's zanpakuto...

Hairy Potter

Dang! I did the same thing.

Buzzard

So, this is my little pet peeve and I don't know which translation is correct or not. At the end of the episode, sweet little Maomao appears to be threatening someone that she knows is very powerful to turn into a eunuch (even if it is just her thinking). This seems to be out of character, so I don't trust Crunchyroll's translation. In the LN, this is what it says, "However she wasn't so fickle as to be unmoved by a gift like this. She decided that if Jinshi should ever find himself cornered, his secret about to come out, then she would do the very best she could to help him: If and when that moment comes... she would make him a eunuch." Definitely sounds more like she is considering protecting his secret.

EHelström

i absolutely loved this so much omg. i was screaming and flapping along with you and laughed so much. im glad im not the only one who first thought of the bag containing his balls right after maomao mentioned it XD "here, have these, do you feel better now?" like omg so looking forward to the rest of season 2 and seeing your reaction when certain things get pieced together. ahhh i love this anime so much, and im so glad you do too!

Abbie1004

Need a pillow? Where's your banana??? "I'M SO THIRSTY (but not in that way)" had me dying🤣

Tabo51

Ah, that was a great reaction!

EHelström

The "golden ox bezoar" made me want to give a shout to Okarun to let him know Maomao found his balls 😂😂😂

Lucia Petrozzi

Flexie, you had me laughing so hard!! 😂 You were exactly like I was the first time I watched these episodes - totally caught off guard! I couldn’t believe how they made those scenes both steamy and hilarious at the same time. One second I was sweating, the next I was in stitches! As for our girl... she’s definitely not ready yet. But at least now, I think she’s starting to realise that Jinshi has feelings for her. Or at the very least, she’s not entirely oblivious anymore. What I love about the romance in this anime is how slow-burning and subtle it is. You can tell Maomao cares for Jinshi, even if she shows it in her own unique way - worrying about his health, sensing his expressions without even looking, noticing when he’s stressed (like when he taps his finger), or wondering where he is when he’s not around. That’s her love language. Quiet, observational, and deeply intuitive. And let’s not forget that scene... Even while she was pinned down, her eyes were sparkling. Just before the dog jumped in and interrupted them, her eyes were closed. I don’t think it was resignation - I think it was a moment of silent acceptance. She knew it was Jinshi, and if it had been anyone else, her reaction would've been very different.

Lucia Petrozzi

THE 🐸 SCENE HAS ARRIVED! Oh my GOD I knew these two episodes were going to be long, because-well, you know already. My god i also screamed during that frog scene, and watched the whole episode again right after. There's SO much going on. and YES FINALLY we got his name! Which, by the way, his name is the title of the episode 🤣 This episode with Maomao was soooooooooo frustrating but also hilarious! This is a slow....slow...SLOW BURN and we keep getting blue balled (sorry Jinshi). I can't with the heart rate monitor hahahaha. One big reveal, opens up even more questions. Cannot wait for you to catch up

Gabriella Pinkoski

"if he doesnt get it out" i just about died with you right there lmao 😂

mei🎧🏎

This episode: completely understandable and justified crash out

nordquist7516

Things I love about this episode: How gently Jinshi lays Maomao down, my favorite himbo getting a lot of screen time, and how Maomao says that Jinshi will always just be himself in her eyes. 🐸💖

Cody Jones

This video might help you with the clans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r12i6jPiXvc&t=2s

Char Liesner

I suppose Jinshi will have to name his little buddy "Kermit" now. =)

ThrakazogZ

In all fairness it's still a huge surprise because it's usually linked to the frog falling on Maomao's head, and her subsequently falling on Jinshi, so that's where reactors usually go like "oh now I get the frog memes" and the next episode is like..."hold my beer" 😂

Lucia Petrozzi

Yes, the real royal names are forbidden to be spoken out loud to anyone but the royals. So the name Kausen is used in place of their royal name.

Lucia Petrozzi

🐸🐸🐸🐸 Best episode ever! but we are only scratching the surface. The buildup is building!

Itz A Dolphin

Looking forward to the difference after how much editing will have been done to this episode before it releases on YouTube 🤣

🐸🐸🐸🐸 Damn, after getting Patreon I've just benched your reactions to this entire series, so good! Soo glad you did the HR-tracker and watched/released these last 2 episodes back to back! Can't wait for the rest of S2! 🐸🐸🐸🐸

W

Heart rate over 100 📈📈😂🤣😂🤣

The novel had me SWEATING 🥵 when I was reading it

victoria t

Same in Naruto. All of the Hozuki’s have “Getsu” in their names. Suigetsu, Mangetsu, Gengetsu, etc

S2 op2 🤩

May Gonza

Ka Zuigetsu literally means Moon Prince. I love when things connect from anime to language. Hopping to Bleach—Ichigo's sword Zangetsu means Slaying Moon. So if you see Getsu in a name, it's probably referring to the moon.

AttackRunRepeat

I REALLY appreciate hearing that - thank you!

Jessica McCann

AAAAAAAAAH!!!!

It’s Ka Zabuza with his Gamabunta! 😭

I know there's some important things happening (🐸 and all) so this is off topic but I love how you pause the episodes or go back to watch something again. There are many reaction channels that are scared to even make longer comments as to not disrupt the show so I wanted to say how much I appreciate the way you do things 💕

cat

Haha I got too excited and prematurely posted my last comment on eps. 11 😂 It happens 🫣

Plushxi

Well the 🐸🐸 meme in the comments of TAD content is a thing since season 1 episode 1. It’s spoiling without outride saying it. And if a few do it it isn’t suspicious but if a lot of people over a time frame do it then you at least suspect something is up with a 🐸. But yes this scene is in every media of TAD gold!🤣

ValSunshine

I’ve read the novel version before anime has come out and I just got it about Maomao’s hand position with Jinshi frog😂 and I like how they draw just maomao’s hand and black background and let us imagine the rest😂😂😂 I love your reaction for both episodes. It’s like double satisfaction for me to rewatch it with you and see you have so many feeling and expression through almost 2 hrs.😍😆 Love it!!

NJ7

A fun detail is that almost every time we get reveals about jinshi's true persona it's always at night and lit by moonlight. At the end here when gaoshun is saying he will have to choose soon because he can't stay in his position forever we pan up to the moon which is half full symbolizing his dual personas. I bet when he fully embraces the zuigetsu persona it will be under a full moon.

Ben

CaptainCameron

It's around 6, actually. But yeah, Jinshi definitely doesn't know and its unlikely Gaoshun knows.

Ryne

There's only I think 3 people that know Jinshi's true parentage. Neither Gaoshun nor Jinshi know.

Chris Ridenour

Gaoshun isn't a real eunuch, las season Jinshi mentioned he had to take the same libido suppression medicine as he did to pose as one in the rear palace. They need a story though as to why Gaoshun, a member of the Ma clan who are traditionally the imperial family's body guards, is suddenly working in the rear palace, so I guess they came up with the excuse that he angered the old empress and got punished when in fact he is there to protect Jinshi who is the imperial "younger brother". Kousen was just a name they used since no one other than their immediate family can use the emperor or the crown prince's real names, that is why Basen said the Ma served "Kousen's" family.

Nadj

You know you're in for a good time when the reaction video is 56 minutes long but the episode is only like 26 minutes. Seeing the heart rate break 120 was really satisfying too. It never fails to amuse me how basically everyone in the hunting party knew that the masked lord was the crown prince, except for Maomao. Exactly why the masked lord/moon prince and Jinshi are different people, as far as people are aware, will be explained later on, so hopefully no one offers insight on that. And so far, we've seen three two-letter families come up in the series. There is the La family, which includes Lakan. Then the Ma family, which includes Gaoshun and Basen. And now the Ka family which includes the Emperor and the Moon Prince. All incredibly important families.
