It's 100 GOLD taels. That's a whole lot more than silver taels.

(Roundly, and not taking into consideration every cultural, regional and dynastical circumstance, as I do not know enough about those, a silver tael used to be around 40 grams of silver, and a gold tael was about 37.5 grams of gold - again, no idea how pure. But still, he first offered 100 silver taels when they were still in YangZhou then changed it to the same amount but in gold, and mentioned it's about how much they robbed from the Gu family anyway. Some 3,75 kilograms of gold. That would be about 214k Euro, in today's worth. Same amount of silver - well, 4 kgs, a bit more - would be worth only 2.6k Euro.)

The masochist: Hit me some more!

The sadist: ...Nah, I don't think I will.

:D

So, let's take this in order.

First (bloody) kiss(es). They count.

Also, what were they doing under that blanket! I'm with Zhou Ye in this. This is highly sus. And now they've taken to sleeping in the same bed like it's nothing. And almost kissed twice (no blood this time). And she laughs in his presence (spooking him as much as when she cries in his presence, LOL).

Also, who the f wrote the music for this drama?? When they were in that hut (which reminded me SO MUCH of the hut YXW takes TTJ after she finds him on the river bank), the BGM was a song that sounded veeeeery much like a TTEOTM BGM too (not the same, but similar). It kept tickling my recognissance nerve. There's no music composer in the crew list, I am dying to know.

GJS is taking the initiative (yet again). And he got first place, yay!! Good thing nobody cares about "that" bet. What's GJS going to do, form a secret informers network? Smart lad :D

Poor Mme Gu. She is almost certain her husband is dead - but maybe not - and doesn't want to learn anything definitive if it's not going to be good news. I sure hope Mr. Gu found YuRu's mom and they're hiding somewhere in YangZhou until things settle down more. At least the concubine is not in the same place as the Gu family - which reminds me OMG WHAT A BEAUTIFUL COURT!!! I've never seen one so large paved in woodplanks, that's gorgeous! (Their first mansion was great too, what with the water coming under the house, so beautiful, I want one!!!)

*Sigh* I might have a bare feet fetish. First I noticed it with the princess' arrival in The Blue Whisper (she steps out with bare feet unto rose petals, that was so seductive OMG), and now with JiuSi barreling down the corridor in bare feet... Why don't more costume drama characters do that!! It's so sexy. Do it some more, hear me?

GJS, hit me with your best shot!!

"You are my life."

...Okay, I give.

Watch some Luo YunXi and Bai Lu drama - either Love is Sweet or Till the End of the Moon. The fact that they're friends makes them very relaxed around each other, and the dramas are better for it.

For this one, there are rumours that BJT and SY are maybe dating, or at least good friends too, and it's also pretty obvious they're comfortable around each other.

China should really get over the "not too many dramas together" thing they've got going, it's clear that most dramas are suffering from leads not being all that familiar with each other...

The fact that he is so missed for the eps he's not there shows how good a character Wuxin was LOL. Half the time I was betting on him to come save the day :D

He is main cast in The Blood of Youth, playing Wuxin - and what a role!

Wait, does that mean that he won the bet and now she can be divorced from him? How did it go? (Though I have this feeling she destroyed that divorce letter already LOL).

He has 18 more of those, and this one was proving to be really, really stupid anyway.

It's like riding a bike the first time - you don't fall off until you get scared and make mistakes. Also depends a lot on how calm the horse is. A horse that doesn't get scared of a big flash of fire is a pretty calm horse.

Also, suspension of disbelief LOL. If we can pretend there's any physics that happened in that melee battle, then we can pretend she can ride a horse at speed on her second try LOL.

I KNOW!!!!!! And NOBODY said anything!! I mean, the other two were there in the exam, too, come on, SPOIL US!!!! Hahaha :D

Ah, the dad made an exit outside of focus... is he really dead? I sure hope he found some way to escape too, mainly because the steward had to stall them all for him to flee.

The other dad, who cares? And I bet the concubine pushed the mother off the cliff, if any cliff ever existed. Maybe while they're making their way to the rest of the family. YuRu and JiuSi could find her and take her along.

But Wang Rong's FACE while his dad was counting his other 18 sons LOL. I liked that. I want all villains to die with that incredulous expression hahaha.

Ah poor WenChang. At least he got to know JiuSi was there, and he made such a great speech! I wonder how come the rest of the people in the city were so freaking calm - all merchant families were gone, half the city burned out and they just found the time to come see an execution!! The FFFF!!!!

I was all ready to give LZS a redemption chance, because the kids were so freaking cute, the both of them - but nope. He only cares for his revenge or something, and he didn't even care enough about YuRu to even explain what the heck he's doing. Go off and die, LZS.

I guess now we'll be seeing some more escape-and-follow shenanigans, but I want them to get to YouZhou ASAP and come back WITH ALL THE KING'S MEN AND ALL THE KING'S HORSES to kill everybody off. COME ON!!! LET'S HAVE IT!!!!! GRRRR!!!!

Also, daaaaayum, can JiuSi fight! No wonder, if the steward taught him :D

Wang Rong, discarded just like that LOL, good riddance.

Two famous last stands in one ep... Gu family steward did a Boromir exit. That was amazing!

He looks good in black, white, green, blue, Youku colours LOL, red (he looks SO GOOD in that wedding costume!!), golden hue... I think he'd look good in anything LOL.

I've already seen this trick (can't do it, but I have an idea how it works), IMHO the one he had the cast members miscounting fingers is WAY BETTER!! That one was so cute LOL :D

The guy in the back is like, "Bro, chill!" Seriously, nooo! My precious indifferent ADG hahaha!

Sure looks like it, doesn't it? TBH, in most stories or dramas involving immortals, most, if not all of them regard immortality as a curse and try to end it. If she were (almost) the same, she'd want to not be reborn, too. So if SeoHa makes her want to still be alive for longer, he's special to her.

They were not in love when they were kids together in her 18th life. They had a friendship. His mother made her promise to take care of him because they were such good friends. There was nothing romantic implied (at least in the drama). He was a kid who liked to swim and believed in fairy tales and she was a kid who matured faster than expected because she got a load of past lives' memories.

But he made her feel the magic of being a kid again and she felt like she's responsible for him.

Meeting again in her 19th life is more to do with unfinished promises and she cares about the trauma he went through partly because she died next to him, too.

She doesn't live eternally. She gets born, lives and dies human, just with extra memories. She's nothing immortal or special aside from that.

It is actually not that bad. But I guess having set the standards so high, it's easy not to reach them.

Somebody (or more) are really going on a crusade. Sometimes the internet decides it wants to rage out just because. You (and I and anyone else who doesn't feel like it) don't have to take part in it.
