Potato Chip

These variety shows are so long. The 1st part about breaking the ice wall was weird. I had no clue what was going on and everyone looked freezing.

But the partner selection! Who knew that this was the CP missing in my life? 🤣 It was like a drama. Wang ZiQi trotted up cooly for his social execution. He has to present why he would be a good partner (cooks and drives). Each newbie will also have a video from friends to vouch for them. 🐋 Sells that he's a very cute Southern guy with a wild Northern Eastern accent and easy going attitude. This bromance 🫶🏼. Jackie Li wants to choose that guy (Huang Jing Yu) 😂. No worries, HJY will show up again later in Gina's friend video.

Verdict time. WZQ went from an awful 3 votes to 0. 😱 Luckily, he was successful in winning his "White Moonlight"..... Xu Zhi Sheng! But no, their love was not smooth. Gina and Shen Yue also desired Xu Zhi Sheng! Wang ge was dumped while Xu Zhi Sheng pondered his options. XZS is living up this moment. Despondent, Wang ge foregoes his 1st love.
Xu Zhi Sheng: You don't want me anymore?
Wang Zi Qi : I don't want you? It's obvious that it's you who don't want me! 🥺

Ball is in Shen Yue's court since Gina also gave up. The crowd implores her to pick Jackie Li instead.
Wang Zi Qi: This man is not worth it. 🤣

Shen Yue indeed chooses the wiser path, leaving Xu Zhi Sheng scrambling. He must now chase the 奇 crematorium. 😂 He grabs his chair and runs back to Wang ge, hugging him and promising never to be separated.

Wang Xing Yue is up for his social death. He also cooks and drives. And Meng Ziyi exposes his real name is Wang Tao. 🤣 Poor guy is under the table, fingers in the ears hiding. 🎶 Happy birthday to Wang Tao! 🎶 Meng Ziyi chooses him. Yay!

Shan Yi Chun is hilariously random with her video. Li Xue Qin wins this adorkable beauty.

Happy every after was shortlived for our CP. When Ren Ke walked off with no votes, Xu Zhi Sheng chased after him, "I will be your partner! Ziqi, can I leave you for him?" Speechless, Wang ge can only wave his hand "do as you please"

Hope isn't lost for our CP. The honorable Ren Ke won't steal someone else's love, he will market himself again.

Ren Ke: I was incomplete before. I can drive too. 🤣
Li Xue Qin would love to partner with him.
Xu Zhi Sheng: What about Xiao Shan?
Wang ge, whips around to look at his wandering eyes man: ? I'm not here!
Xu Zhi Sheng: It's ok, Ziqi. My heart is still with you.

Audience is dubious. How many times will they breakup and reconcile? Summary of this tumultuous romance so far. https://weibo.com/757975926...
The future? : https://weibo.com/574352500...

Ren Ke was chosen by Wang He Di and Wang Chuan Jun. They will be the new "3 Crazies"

Episode 1, Part 1 & 2. Partner selection was so funny.

I had the same question. He's been stabbed so many times but this last one seems to have been edited out. I wonder who he confronted. Maybe the Japanese?

Qin Jin Jie is really a great actor. Episode 27. I love Huang Hao Yue too. So talented.

https://youtu.be/QdqWDxwzETY?si=HVx9kK_z9c0rpzDK. There are also less official channels that have the latest.

Drama made me more mad by trying to paint him as honorable. What's up with that meek "protest" when YHJ tortured him? You're the sect leader, the buck stops with you. Can't keep your hands clean.

I was clinging onto the potential bromance but finally gave up. After what he did to WJL, he's irredeemable.

First episode with Shan Yi Chun and Wang Zi Qi meeting each other was so cute. I identify with her awkwardness. Ren Ke is hilariously eccentric. He dumbfounded Wang Zi Qi. The new comers are all adorable, especially with the birthday "surprise".

He is responsible for so many innocent deaths. How can he be a so-called hero?

I totally ship Mu Qing and Lucky. 😆 Oh wait, you mean Mu Qing and Liu Lin. I am 100% on board that boat but won't get my hopes up. Their prison/torture/revolution philosophy talks are the strangest and funniest way of flirting.

Zhou Bu Fan is becoming such an unlikeable character.

I made the discussion post. Such a beautiful book represented by the drama.

The Le Petit Prince references were amazing. Every illustration and detail from the book was presented in the drama. I made a discussion post on it and will update it to the very end. Drama also had references to Yayoi Kusama, Stephen Choi and the acting methods of Stanislavaki and Brecht.

I updated the "Le Petit Prince" parallel discussion to Episode 11. Our ML is a literary tall drink of water. A very clever imagery.

This drama is really interesting and fun. The details are amazing. Characters are intriguing and I look forward to their interactions.

They do look like brothers.

Actually, that last part is pretty amazing. It links to the book, "The Little Prince". The way the FL and ML are positioned, it references the last illustration of the book. Director has an amazing eye for composition.

I am putting together a discussion post with everything I have found. So many details! I was able to link almost every illustration to a scene or character. I am so amazed by it.

I was thinking of how this reminds me of a Salvador Dali painting (surreal and has more than meets the eye) but the drama's choice of Kusama is very fitting. The Kusama pumpkin is at the club where our CP meets. We return there at the end. Her art is whimsical, somber, and like a kaleidoscope where different images and feelings will strike you at different times.

I never read it but did because of this drama. So beautiful and poetic. Then going back to catch all the symbolism and details. FL looks like the Rose with her hair bun and sweet smile. ML embodied the lonely Prince, on a mission of discovery. Their romance overcame pretenses and misunderstandings to be nurturing, protective, and completing each other. From beginning to end, the drama represented the book and was successful in conveying the messages and tone. I am putting together a discussion post because this drama has triggered my inner nerd.
