UPDATE: I Didn’t Watch Eps 45-55
I stopped watching Novoland: Eagle Flag after episode 44, you can find my reasons why here. Essentially, the drama just wasn’t doing it for me. It wasn’t exciting, there was too much talking, and the storyline didn’t make sense to me. The drama got messier as it progressed. Here are some of the key events that happened between the episodes that I didn’t watch:
- Yu Ran and Ji Ye part ways and don’t end up together. Yu Ran takes her place as Ji Wu Shen, protector of the Bird Tribe.
- Bai Li Jing Hong tries to kill Gui Chen. Ji Ye comes save him and Bai Li Jing Hong ends up dying.
- Gui Chen has to head home to Qing Yang to save his tribe. He transfer his Tian Qu leader to Ji Ye.
- Gui Chen and Xiao Zhou break up because he leaves.
- Xiao Zhou overthrows her aunt and becomes the new Queen. She is actually the illegitimate child between her mother and Bai Yi. Ning Qin helps her get the throne and becomes Xia Tang’s new ruler.
- Lei Bi Cheng didn’t die??
That basically sums up the key takeaways over 10+ episodes. I then decided to watch the finale episode to get my resolution for the series. Below is the Novoland Eagle Flag Episode 56 recap:
