Asura's Bride 9: Unravel (with Myrna)
March 26, 2021 12:00 - 43 minutes - 19.7 MBOur hearts melt like the snow outside as we watch Ulaan and Yuwa get ever closer with tender displays of affection. They share a tender kiss, and all of Ulaan's pretenses of this being normal bathing fall away as he tells her how much she moves him, validating her as a person. Unable to restrain himself, he pulls away and leaves, leaving Yuwa forlorn and contemplating her dreary and unloved future. But Ulaan quickly returns, admitting his love for her. Yuwa decides to tell him wh...

March 23, 2021 02:00 - 2 hours - 71.9 MBWhat an episode! We open with the Sinclair's New Year's Party. Lauren doesn't seem too keen on parties, but plays the gracious hostess. Stephan and Will come in, looking dashing, and Stefan and Tristan exchange compliments, some true, some merely polite. As Rin would have it, the magnificent and inimitable Dakan arrives, and we discover a sweet and surprising connection. Lauren finally tries to eat, only to spot, through the arms of the sandwich "thief," an undesirable element fro...

Asura's Bride 8: Fire and Snow (with Kim and Priya)
March 19, 2021 12:00 - 38 minutes - 21.9 MBYuwa is worried about Ulaan's shoulder, and insists on bandaging it. They're left alone in a candle lit tent, with a snowstorm whirring around them, and a rose petalled bathtub awaiting. Romantic much??? Ulaan claims this is normal for him, but immediately tells Yuwa she is beautiful. Just sayin'. There's a bit of teasing, and we are left with the most lustful stares in all of history. *** 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗔𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗮’𝘀 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗻𝘀: https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/asuras-bride-comp...
Purple Hyacinth 85: Tragedies' Trail (with Fwoot and Lilia)
March 16, 2021 02:00 - 2 hours - 71.3 MBOn a gray and rainy day, Lauren and March pay a visit to the cemetery. Lauren visits Dylan's grave and seems to finally accept that he is dead. We discuss Lauren's character growth in that regard, growth that is also occurring in a different direction, one we hear about as she visits her parent's graves. Lauren articulates what we have inferred all along. She is struggling to integrate the vision of her parents with what she now knows about them. She is also beginning to question the vie...
Purple Hyacinth 9: Unexpected Uprising (with Firedancer and Meg)
March 15, 2021 21:47 - 42 minutes - 24.5 MBThis episode is crucial for understanding Lauren's reasoning in agreeing to work with Kieran. We continue with the riot scene. The man on the statue hurls insults at the APD, outnumbered by an angry crowd. Our friendly assassin has the nerve to DARE Lauren to call him out, but violence breaks out before Lauren can do so. The police move to break it up, and uncle Tristan arrives and calms the crowd. Lauren hears a lie and begs to detain the man, but once again, her power is disregarde...
Purple Hyacinth 8: Challenging Choice (with Hadzy and Meg)
March 14, 2021 16:30 - 29 minutes - 17 MBOur perceptive Kym picks up on Lauren's distress over Hermann's chewdown. We learn that Lauren doesn't use her uncle's position as police chief to gain favor, something that doesn't surprise us, given her independent nature. Kym also claims she won't "terrorize the poor sods," only to do exactly that, giving us a new respect for her. We learn more about the Ardhalis police department and their motto, and see that Will too, is a perceptive friend. Either that or Lauren is easy to read....
Asura's Bride 7: Here's A War (with Anne Rose, Molly, and Tina)
March 12, 2021 13:00 - 28 minutes - 16.2 MBAlone in the tent, Yuwa contemplates what she has been told about the Northern King, and how it contrasts with what she sees of him. She wonders about her own role or lack thereof in the war, and remembering a tragic incident, is saddened. Meanwhile, Ulaan is doing some contemplation of his own, thinking about his relations to Yuwa. He takes violent action when she is slandered, and returns to the tent, where he finds Yuwa waiting for him, as sensitive as ever to his gift. *** 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱...

Purple Hyacinth 84: Hollow Hope (with Fwootloops and Shivii)
March 09, 2021 02:53 - 1 hour - 66.1 MBLauren catches Kieran on his way out, and doesn't let him go. Instead, after Kieran breaks out hearts and tells her that he doesn't belong there, she thanks him for helping her out with Chow's case. There are some beautiful moments between them before Lauren yeets Kieran out to the drinking contest. Fun times ensue and some more tender moments, all of which are shattered by their conversation on the bridge. Ouch. And then theories. TONS of theories. 𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗵𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗦𝗰𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱: ht...
Purple Hyacinth 6: Troubling Truth (with Corrine and Meg)
March 08, 2021 15:24 - 1 hour - 42 MBLauren shows us who the Purple Hyacinth was, and we understand just how awful it was to encounter him, and how surprising his offer is. The police discuss the meaning of the Purple Hyacinth, and Lauren, thinking of those pivotal words Kieran spoke, suggests that it may be an apology. They are dismissed, and Will and Kym immediately resume their bickering. We learn about Kym's mysterious pocket watch, and Will and Lauren's childhood friendship as well as his mother's illness. Once ...
Purple Hyacinth 83: Kaput Kym (with Emma and Fwoot)
March 02, 2021 02:59 - 1 hour - 35.8 MBThis episode is one for the ages. Its title's wonkiness sets the tone, and Kym takes over from there. She demands alcohol. Will supplies water. Lukas snaps photos. Lauren hides under the table. And then we have the Defend Kieran Against the Giggling Ladies incident, in which our skilled assassin has to duck Kym's foot and flee from a trail of smitten women. We have a glorious moment of Kym smushed against Will, nose up. He tries to leave, but Lauren catches sight of him and stops hi...
Purple Hyacinth 5: Rogue Rebel (with Bundin, Firedancer, and Fwoot)
February 28, 2021 19:09 - 47 minutes - 27 MBWe open with a bar in a seedy neighborhood, where we meet some boastful and drunk Phantom Scythe members. Their conversation shows us that they are none too refined. The Purple Hyacinth walks in, and fear strikes all hearts but one. A drunk patron attacks the assassin, who effectively returns the threat with a healthy side dish of intimidation. He walks to the back rooms to report his kill, passing a chained and bloody chair behind bars, and we are privy to a flashback of a tortured past...
Asura's Bride 6: You Want a Battle? (with Josalynn, Teri, and Vita)
February 26, 2021 13:00 - 42 minutes - 24.1 MBYuwa and Ulaan arrive at the camp, and Yuwa very quickly puts the pieces together. Her reaction is violent and hateful, and Ulaan takes it. Their altercation is interrupted by a cornrowed warrior, and Yuwa takes in the reverence and love with which Ulaan/Asura is greeted by his camp. Ulaan speaks to her briefly in the tent, at first angrily, but then calms down and tries to explain his position. Yuwa is left alone in the tent to contemplate.

Purple Hyacinth Episode 3: Elusive Encounter (with Bundin and Fwoot)
February 23, 2021 13:00 - 46 minutes - 26.4 MBWe open with the murderer staring wide eyed at Lauren, his blade nicking her throat. For some mysterious reason, he refrains from killing her. Lauren takes advantage of his hesitation and kicks him in the face, knocking him to the ground. She cuffs him and is about to radio in her precinct when the murderer engages her in conversation. He smirks and boasts, and Lauren gets increasingly angry. When he reveals he is an assassin, Lauren flies off her handle and reveals her personal promise ...
Purple Hyacinth 4: Merciless Murderer (with Bundin and Fwoot)
February 23, 2021 13:00 - 46 minutes - 26.8 MBLauren returns to her worried colleagues, who take a break from their bickering to ask about her encounter with the murderer. Lauren is surprised by their level of concern, but understands once she enters the crime scene and learns that the murderer was none other than the dreaded Purple Hyacinth. *** 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗛𝘆𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗻: https://www.webtoons.com/en/mystery/purple-hyacinth/list?title_no=1621&page=1 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗦𝗼𝗽𝗵𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗼𝗻: https://www.patreon.com/sophism 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼...
Purple Hyacinth 82: Solid Stand (with Meg and Veronica)
February 23, 2021 02:54 - 1 hour - 44.5 MBLauren flashes back to her interrogation of Tim Sake, and pays a visit to the imprisoned Maria Chow. Later, Lauren presents her (and Kieran's) case to Hermann and March. Hermann is skeptical and makes some personal jabs at Lauren, but March comes to her defense. Lauren admits to her previous mistakes, and together, they convince Hermann to reopen the investigation, with Lauren as a consultant. That night, the precinct meets up at the S & E bar, where Lauren stands outside and contempl...
Purple Hyacinth 2: Somber Silhouette (with Bundin and Fwoot)
February 19, 2021 18:28 - 40 minutes - 23.2 MBWe open with an introduction to the terrorism plaguing Ardhalis, all from a group called the Phantom Scythe. Lauren joins her colleagues Will and Kym at the crime scene, where a Mrs. Grayson was murdered. Before they can do too much, they hear a gunshot across the street. Lauren catches sight of the fleeing murderer and pursues him. They engage in a speedy rooftop chase, complete with dramatic Titanic like falls, and end with hand to hand combat. The mysterious assassin has the chance...
Asura's Bride 5: Myth (with Emily, Raluca, and Veronica)
February 19, 2021 13:00 - 1 hour - 43.5 MBYuwa faces off a rabid dog on her own, showing bravery despite fear. Ulaan meanwhile is ensconced in a dream with his own dog, a parallel whose meaning we discuss. Ulaan shows his soft side with his caring for the dog, and Yuwa shows her care for him. When Yuwa is then frightened, Ulaan pulls her close in a manner reminiscent of his descendant, Tora. Sadly, however, this means that he can't sleep. :) The next day, Yuwa tries to find out more, but Ulaan deflects her questions with flirting....
Purple Hyacinth Episode 81: Willing Witness (with Fwoot and Lilia)
February 16, 2021 03:00 - 1 hour - 57 MBLauren sneaks out to Kieran's house to hear his information. He is happy to see her (not a lie!) Kieran tells her about his investigations and mentions her temper. Lauren acknowledges that her temper gets the better of her, and Kieran obliquely apologizes for slamming her into the wall in Episode 43. Lauren rejoices at the information, but wonders why Kieran would help her. When Kieran gives her coffee, their hands touch, and what we think will be a romantic moment is actually an intense re...
Asura's Bride Episode 4: By The White Lake (with Chelsey, Elisabeth, and Rissa)
February 12, 2021 13:00 - 56 minutes - 32.3 MBA lot of action happening! Ulaan is impressed with Yuwa's independence, and Yuwa rejoins with threats of murder. Nice work. They get their needs taken care of, and Ulaan shows his thoughtfulness by washing her cloak. We then have a tender moment of Ulaan washing her face, and see a bit of Yuwa's insecurity about her appearance. (No need, girl.) They sit by the fire and Ulaan, no surprise, falls asleep, leaving Yuwa guarding nervously in the ominous dark. *** Thank you to Natis for sugge...
Purple Hyacinth Episode 1: Lovely Lady (with Inspirashamul and Krystine)
February 12, 2021 13:00 - 48 minutes - 27.8 MBThey say first impressions are everything, and we sure get a great one of our main male lead! (Just kidding. Too much blood.) Earlier in the day, Lauren goes on a date with a douchebag. Kym saves her with clownery, and the newsboy reminds Lauren of what it is that haunts her. Kym tries to distract her, but when Lauren gets home, we learn more about the train bombing that upended her life. Lauren then receives a phone call about an emergency near her and heads out. *** 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗺𝘂𝗹'𝘀 𝗣𝘂...
Purple Hyacinth 0: Prologue (with Bundin, Fwootloops, and Rissa)
February 12, 2021 12:13 - 1 hour - 40.3 MBWe begin with an intriguing introduction to the prologue featuring a pistol and flowers, which sets the tone for the entire webtoon. We are then barreled straight into a gripping action scene where we meet our protagonist, Officer Lauren Sinclair, whose headlong rush into danger gives us an instant glimpse of her character. We learn more about her as she saves the day, only to walk away from praise in order to release her inner feelings in private. Together with Lauren, we are taken back...
Purple Hyacinth 80: Anticipated Allegations (with Corrine and Leslie)
February 09, 2021 03:00 - 53 minutes - 49.2 MBLauren finds herself on the other side of the interrogation, where Hermann predictably is suspicious of Lauren. March comes to her defense, and Lauren is let off relatively easy. We discuss Lauren's ambivalence over her choice to "make a deal with the devil," and contrast her willingness to dive into murky moral territory with Hermann's rigid rule-following ways. Meanwhile, Kieran decides to do some digging of his own, discovering what it was that triggered Lauren a year ago. Back in th...
