I got my wish..because Muyu and leader both battled sword master they can have a truce. We were shown some of the history with the leader and his senior who felt slighted being passed over for future city leader. He felt betrayed by those around him and put his faith exclusively in his sword which made him aloof from humanity and focused solely on making his sword most powerful. This was an excellent battle. Prince Langya talks the ice sword master into saving the city with her flower strike. It was a beautiful move that had petals deliver the antidote. The scheming Prince gave the senior a puppet poison so after death he became a fighting machine. When things seemed finished the leader left saying he would send men to bury his senior. But that is when zombie version showed. Since uncle was there they still had three to deal damage but the end result was doc Bai getting a dart with the puppet poison in her. She has a temporary stalling med, but she said it was not easily cured.

The leader of WuShuang is getting his affairs in order. He plans on using his life to save the city. I do not completely get his loyalty to his first but not so bright disciple. He even wants the youth to be in his care. He is constantly at war with himself to do the right thing and his mentor sees this as his virtue. The owner of the gambling hall has intentions of rising in rank but so far is being held back. He wants to see WuShuang and the leader fall. I don’t know if he has a mastermind behind him or not but he is a thorn that doesn’t mind trouble. There has been an invitation for every martial artist that wants to see the show. It will make things crowded but hopefully keep things calmer about getting a coveted WuShuang token. Uncle Zhe and Doc Bai have arrived and Changhe has been dealing with swordsman hunting Muyu. They have all collected in one place and Doc Bai pulls out her 5 poison bugs to negate the poison array over the city. It is set to send civilians unconscious and martial artists helpless. In small doses it is not fatal but this seems set to kill and part of a long arranged plan. Our team seems rather calm about everything. Muyu now has swapped the sword for his umbrella. Now waiting to see if she has just made them a small poison free barrier or is working on the whole city. She at least will get some help from Prince Langya that has arrived and noted it. He is currently reading through a scroll on how to counteract it with a candle letting him know how much time is left for him. Rabbit has been allowed free Baixiao intel, but it only says no news of Lianyue’s whereabouts. She is not happy and annoyed at realizing they are letting her do the legwork for them.

YuYu exercising.😂🤣 Nine reps put him out of commission. 😂😝 Dr Gu bargains with dad to go to a blind date mixer in exchange for two months of peace. She ropes the neighbor into going with her. She also makes a wager with YuYu on getting a date at and after mixer. While there YuYu runs into the staff photographer. They are both foodies and camera enthusiasts so the actually can have a nice conversation and share a meal. There is much talk in their chat group when she takes him home. 😂His talk reminded him of his old camera and he decides to finish the roll taking pics of Dr Gu. He goes to her studio for a photoshoot but it’s not going well. What did turn out nicely was a very pretty pic of Dr Gu.😍The photographer compliments the doc and his camera technique. She suggests a photo shoot at his studio. He agrees but banishes everyone from the office. They really wonder what’s up when he took down his very prominent photo and said it didn’t capture the real him. While his photo shoot is in progress his staff has to show up. It ends up with a group photo. 😂🤣This drama is so enjoyable. We get to watch them all intermingle and how they impact each other’s day. They all hate how he speaks but they also rally around him to see what he’s up to and how doing. Even the neighbor said nobody other than YuYu was especially interesting to talk to at the mixer. They like him in spite of himself and they’re a good group of friends to watch. You can just chill out with their vibe and enjoy the show.

I am relieved that the old geezer’s technique caused the change in style for Muyu. This is where he strayed from the path of the sword — victory at all cost. He did not see Muyu capable of holding his hate in check. Unfortunately at the end Muyu used his 18 sword technique which revealed his tie to Blood River. And that the peerless sword itself deflected the fatal blow. That was interesting. I understand why he wants the banner gone as well as the old man. The city leader has no alternative but to accept the challenge. I like him and hope he finds a way to be spared tho losing battle. The youth he mentors needs him in spite of his opinion on the matter. Changhe is amused and annoyed at the buzz around Muyu. He will show up at an opportune time for them to work together. Rabbit is still looking for Lianyue and this duel has caught her interest. The gambling house is visited by the city leader because there is too much interest in the duel. The leader of gambling house thinks he will stab the city leader and gets corrected. The two princes are moving their chess pieces and speculationg on how to proceed and who to use. I am enjoying the prince who played a fake general hold his own this drama. I don’t know that I want either of these two winning, but they will hold sway in how the game is played. I liked Muyu and father talking and Muyu getting his father’s approval but also guidance to let it go when this duel is finished. I wanted Muyu to uphold his father’s principles to beat them and he has managed to do that. I want Muyu to win but the WuShuang leader to keep his honor He points to the right direction and has honor his mentors do not have. The old man recognizes he made evil choices and bound his best disciple with too many obligations. I don’t really hold his words of any value, but his disciple wanted to honor him while rejecting his evil path. Muyu did well letting this happen.

That spear shattering when the leader tried to pick it up was kinda awesome. The message has been sent and the warning has been issued. Changhe also meets his challenger head on. The three families want no part of nameless leadership. Did he speak truth that those with the other side simply want to displace old leadership rather than the ideals of a new Blood River? That question remains to be answered. Whoever is the mastermind now sees Changehe’s response in bodies. Muyu has taken his real name and fights for vengeance for his father. I would have liked to see the battle of the one master who is mentor of the youth, but the old guy who helped bring cause the downfall of Swordless village stepped in. I am not sure if it honors his father forsaking the way of the sword to go full assassin. Muyu’s anger might be in the way here. He has a righteous cause but I am not sure his father would agree with his methods here. It truly takes a lot to piss Muyu off, but this has been his pet peeve since he learned the truth of his village’s massacre. This duel settles that old score and he has agreed to keep the new WuShuang out of it. That is actually fair as they don’t know the true history of how they received the sword techniques. The fact that the one master used his four best disciples to sharpen his skills rather than having them become true masters says how low the level has fallen. They at least see how they were duped and may now head a different course where they become true masters. The battle is raging and both are quite equal. I want to see Muyu kick his royal ass but I also want him to do it with honor as his father would. Waiting to see if he gets beyond his rage in next episode.

Physician Bai is called out to test her knowledge and seems like MuYu and Changehe both have plans for her success. Changhe doles out cash and MuYu gives free consults and half herb prices. They celebrate their success over a meal and here the friends plan to part ways for awhile. Muyu is going to restore Swordless City honor and Changhe establishes his new patriarchy with Blood River. They are content that thy have set up the clinic well enough for them to leave. Muyu is gifted some valuable items before he leaves. Since he is not free to use his umbrella sword and stay anonymous, he is gifted his father’s sword. He teared up at the sight because this is the only thing he would have truly valued from the sword vault. She also gives him a small decorative box with a pet she values. This turned out to be a ghost spider of great value and strength. This spider quickly won him the WuShuang token he needed at the gambling house when they tried to steal his sword from him. Changhe is a,ready dealing with deceit amongst the ranks. He is ambushed and they think he is weakened by a poisoned dart before attacking. He proves that to be a last mistake for them. He knows who is testing him and that his colleagues are poisoned and confined. At the WuShuang pass area Muyu is treated disrespectfully by guards and it quickly changes as the leader shows up. He acknowledges what Muyu said but then engages in battle because WuShuang was insulted. He is in for a surprise as Muyu holds his own without even getting his sword out. Earlier in the episode, a coveted peerless sword is hidden and nobody has accessed it yet. The spirit guarding it has not chosen anyone yet. The master tried and failed but the young disciple was gifted the sword by the spirit. The boy was renamed WuShuang. I do not know if this is a flashback or current event, but I am sure that sword will meet Muyu at some point as he takes on all of WuShuang. This drama continues to be quite good. The cast work well together and the production staff does a good job with the battles and background scenes. I have not watched the other dramas linked to this one peripherally and still enjoy this without any other history. It holds its own quite nicely.

This episode was very pleasant. After YuYu runs through the pond he finds a pug plushie. Dao is patiently watching them waiting for dinner time. It did look like he’s getting pudgier.😂 YuYu wants to help the dog and peripherally his neighbor. He is utterly shameless putting in his shopping list when she offers to double soy sauce.😂😝 He won’t buy a car, but when Dr Gu offered a deal he accepted the challenge. She wanted her dad to get rid of his bike and travel by car. She told him if he could talk her dad into selling his bike, she would help sell the car. So….he was successful. They had a grand send off of the bikes and he helped his neighbor sell five cars at once. Everybody was happy. I was sad for them giving up their bikes, but Treat Williams would still be around if he had given up his. Some things do need retired after a certain age. It can be passed on to next generation to be appreciated. YuYu learned he was white noise.🤣😂 Dr Gu finally got some much needed rest. She no longer had to worry about her dad and she was with pleasant company. She sees him for who he is and while grieved at him daily for his abrasiveness, she is also pleased with him daily for the nice gestures he does that many miss or don’t realize til later. I really enjoy how well this cast works together. They are not just one dimensional. They give a nice slice of life vibe accompanied by well done comedy. Kudos to cast and production staff for such a well done job. 👏🏻

Design changes requested for their project. YuYu makes a model car and shamelessly races against children to get his coveted trophy. Neighbor has appendicitis and has to stay in hospital so race to find doggy sitter for Dao. After failed attempts by Wu and Lin, YuYu finds himself drafted for the job. Dao got loose and made a mess everywhere. YuYu adapts and Dao now has royal guest room and board. 🤣 When evidence pointed to Dao for his prize car model and trophy to be knocked to floor and broken, Dao finds himself in Dr Gu’s home. YuYu finds out the drapes are the culprit for clearing the shelf. Dr Gu is on the phone with him when Dao works out leash knot and follows another pug. YuYu joins Dr Gu in the search and this episode leaves the cliffhanger if it’s Dao in the water floating or not.😝😱

YuYu proves his innocence and magnanimously offers to take responsibility for the team and still apologize. He found the prettiest and smallest watermelon to take as a peace offering. He invited Dr Gu and got his mother’s hopes up when she learned they were making dumplings together. It went awkwardly and the gift was refused. It was funnier when he gifted it to Dr Gu she retaliated that it was too heavy for her.😂🤣 YuYu invites his neighbor to a party introducing the artwork of a local artist. Unfortunately for her, he took a shining to her and she was not as enamored .😝 She knew that Lin and Wu really wanted the project and would not block him until the project completed, in case the artist used her lack of interest to find a different design team. He specifically wants YuYu to design his home but like younger designer, he wants to be flashy rather than substantial. And when his trendy look no longer in fashion he would just demolish it and redesign. This goes against the grain for YuYu on every level, personally and professionally. He sees the artist as a lech and squanderer and wants nothing to do with him. Dr Gu is asked to change his mind, so she reminds him that they don’t always agree with his decisions but cooperate and now is his turn to take one for the tea,. He shocks them by accepting the job. He now expects his team to reward him for cooperating. 😂🤣Dr Gu is surprised she changed his mind and smiled that she did. Lin and Wu see massive dollar signs for now, but I wonder how they will feel when this project is over. They even know this guy is persistent in bugging neighbor and the only one truly concerned is YuYu. I am curious if they will learn some things are more important than money after this venture.

Dr Gu’s dad is pushing YuYu to talk her into marrying quickly. There is a reason but it is initially kept secret. I am glad it was for a different reason than I thought. I feared he was dying and wanted to see his daughter be settled first. Fortunately that wasn’t the case. They finally had a conversation about her mom. Dr Gu always thought her dad just wanted to forget her and move on. When he brought her the dishes she used to make, he finally explained himself to her. This healed a rift she had held against him probably for years. YuYu trying to catch a goldfish. I have never seen a paper net like that before but it was very amusing to watch him get chided by the children for not being able to catch one. Funnier still when the stall person let him buy one.🤣 he went from a small fishbowl to a huge tank that YuYu will not ever put another fish in. It is interesting that Dr Gu’s dad chooses YuYu to confide in and that YuYu was more than happy to learn Dr Gu’s favorite childhood dishes. She recognizes that they are of similar disposition and holds her own with both of them.😂 His young neighbor is starting to reflect on what she will do when she grows up. YuYu has all the numbers for her.😂Their project is finally agreed upon but I feel for both the couple and the parents. It may seem to be easier to combine households, but privacy becomes a much bigger deal. They were wise to keep both bathrooms and add storage. Dr Gu missed a bullet with that dumpling guy. He had a legitimate complain but then he had to come back and get more involved with them after the initial apology. The contractor and designers acted like children and while they were bickering and pushing each other around Mr dumpling got hit in the face. Tbh I don’t know who really ended up hitting him. Wu gave YuYu the blame and Sun is already annoyed his workmanship is again in question. YuYu is getting the security recordings to find out exactly what happened. He is adamant about proving his innocence. This episode had a more thoughtful theme. The father/daughter relationship and remarrying after the death of a spouse. Life choices and how that effects future happiness and success. Friends sharing favorite things and memories. And why does YuYu like little women story? Is it because Dr Gu does? There was little comedy this episode but it was still enjoyable. The cast can deliver poignant as well as comedy. It continues to be an 8.5 watch for me.

YuYu’s apology was completely lost on Wu’s girlfriend, but he smiled with understanding. Dr Gu figured out a way to get into his apartment but was interrupted by neighbor so he grabbed the flash drive and escaped inside. He collapsed and instead of calling apartment manager to get key, they decide to break through the thin wall. After she determined he is ok, she has to confess that she didn’t take the opportunity to look around and all three are disappointed. He has a breakthrough and manages to finish the design. For the food being too salty, he practically inhaled it. 😂🤣 The client liked his design and all is well in the work world and YuYu is finally getting a much needed rest. YuYu’s mother used funeral code for wedding and he inadvertently caused a riot at the wedding. 😂🤣 Initially I thought he was overdoing the wedding/funeral satire, but after hearing his mom’s voicemail, ya gotta sympathize with him for misunderstanding the situation. She then wants him to apologize for it when the fault definitely was hers. 😝His red suit was an oddity at the office.🤣😂 He should have ignored his mother’s choice and stayed with the black. Meeting Dr Gu’s dad.😂🤣 He is YuYu in 20 some years. 😂🤣 No wonder she has better understanding of YuYu’s ways. These two together are quite funny. He wants him to ask his daughter out on a date and YuYu complies. She is adjusting to him calling her Jia. 😂🤣 The episode ends right when he is trying to explain why he’s doing this.

It was almost cute how YuYu asked the doc out to see fireworks. She did have to turn him down as she had plans with her friend, but she was sly sneaking the young group in with her after YuYu told her he wanted it private. The vr experience he had for them was a nice touch and kept it more personal like he originally wanted. His electronic mask was fun but he missed a real opportunity to appreciate the princess version of Dr Gu. His work partners appeal to his ego to attempt a tough project with an almost impossible time crunch to complete. He is so obsessed with being overshadowed by the younger designer that he takes the project on. He is working so many consecutive hours and haunted by nightmares that he is having difficulty determining dream from reality. He is being even more irritable than usual and ultimately collapses in the convenient store from exhaustion. His work partners then determine to get help from the younger designer but he caveats it with changing YuYu’s design. This of course doesn’t sit well and in an outburst of rage with Wu, YuYu fires him. He almost gets into it with his sis in hospital but Dr bro in law calms everybody down. Wu is at the bar with the neighbor girl and friend lamenting his work woes when they run into the younger designer. For once he seems bogged down by the workload and not his usual flashy self waving money around. This episode ends on a more serious note than usual. The actors continue to do a good job and show their nuanced abilities at having characters with more depth and less one note.

YuYu is making progress. He redesigned his original design to accommodate the client that lost their job. He did it with different materials and even kept the kitchen space open. Lin and Wu were amazed. So the uncle originally next door was responsible for ruining the sound proofing and his illegal modifications resulted in a fine he was charging his niece for.😝YuYu flubbed the money gift entirely, but his call to the uncle was an appreciated gesture. Now his neighbor doesn’t have to work at that beer place with the jerk men ogling her and commenting. I have no idea why he liked the Robinhood hat.😂🤣 a designer should have better style. 😂 His bro in law is living the life with a wife that handles the money. She is very like her brother in some ways. He is gifted 4 tickets to an amusement park and he gives them to his neighbor so she can go. She was gob smacked and took her friend out for the day. She looked like having fun on the roller coaster til she got off of it. 😂🤣 Wu and girlfriend were also there and somehow the day turned into shoe shopping, YuYu’s work day was canceled so he decided to take a bus trip and ran into Dr Gu. The first thing he did was trash the series she was watching by telling her the end. So when she was gifted a snack, she didn’t share.🤣😂 I wanted to see them in the village but it went right to the next work day. I hope they give flashbacks at some point or why did they bother showing them on the bus? He is back to work with a model of a Harley that seems to be the inspiration for his next design. The younger designer keeps popping in showing off his wealth but he seems rather shallow tho free with his money. I like how his neighbor has started greeting him. It is slowly making him more amenable to pleasantries so he isn’t quite as abrasive. They are stepping in to tell him to shut up before he ruins the pleasant vibe.😂🤣I do not know why the trip wasn’t included, but other than that misstep this was another enjoyable episode. It has been a solid 8.5 for me every episode so far.

His apology was Blu-ray of The Great Escape. No clue how YuYu persuaded her to get the fancy Tv and sound system but she enjoys her new Blu-ray’s tho not the one he gifted her. 🤣 He then gets a personal visit to Dr Gu’s office to take off the bandage. I enjoyed him stacking her nice bowl of tangerines on her desk leaving the top space open on his pyramid. She just had to finish the stack after he left.😂 Bro in law has started his mom in pursuit of Dr Gu as a daughter in law. She leaves her fan so that her son can come get it. 🤣🙄 Dr Gu is far from enthused and her new buddy refuses to help her. She ends up meeting with YuYu and unfortunately the fan was left in her other jacket pocket. She unloads her purse on the table and YuYu shows how his bag is far more efficient and she should get one like his. YuYu is in crisis because his client lost their job and has to cut 50k from renovation. He really doesn’t want to cut any corners but Wu wants his commission and working hard to persuade him to find a way to make it work with less cash. Wu gets in trouble with his girlfriend when the boss tells her he is dating two women. This ends up with the three of them meeting. His girlfriend tags the makeup and concludes they are innocent.😂🤣 Neighbor girl wants to learn how to coupon from them. I hope they teach her because she is circling her credit cards around to pay off each other and she really does need the help. When she goes shopping with Dr Gu later, I have to chuckle that the doc gravitated to a compartmentalized bag and reasoning the same as YuYu about how nicely it kept things in specific place. Cute neighbor girl wanted her stuff to all make friends in a big heap. 😂 YuYu decided on a very bright green cap and the gals caught him shopping for it. She sent the pic to Wu who returned one with him in the office actually wearing it. 😂 This show continues to entertain and the entire cast makes it fun from beginning to end.

Loved this episode.😂 The humor is well done. YuYu has ways of guilting people to get his own way. He is a master at that. His bbq coupon is burning a hole in his pocket and he can’t get any takers.🤣His family dinner.😂🤣 I enjoyed the munchkin and him bickering. He is not persuaded that veggies are truly good for him, but to his credit he gives them a try. His exchange at the convenient store and his reaction to the juice.😂🤣 Wu is a master coupon stacker. He truly deserves applause for keeping things affordable. 👏🏻YuYu braves a couples bbq place to get his meal after the veggie disaster meal with family. His licking of the yogurt top after neighbor girl called him out for his stinginess with his employees and his retaliation to Dr Gu with that juice choice.😂🤣 His need to apologize to Ms Gu when commenting about the car literally and completely missing the metaphor of the real conversation. The megaphone was a good way to find her. I have to give him credit for taking responsibility for his actions while still maintaining his innocence because he was referring to an actual car and not her. This is very well done with the cast and writers delivering a witty yet unexpectedly thoughtful at times story. It is intermingled smoothly and completely entertaining by them as a whole. Their characters mesh nicely and little by little you see a bit more of who they truly are and how they relate to each other. I am liking the budding friendship between the neighbor and Dr Gu. It provides more encounters with YuYu and Wu. Lol these names are making good Dr. Seuss lines 😂🤣
