Ep. 22 Baubles, bangles and broaches are in the ascendency. While Bad Sis plucked away and her murderous admirer grinned at her triumph, Fei and her cohorts flew into an instrumental frenzy to draw all present into a rhythmic riot of hand-clapping ecstasy.

Appreciate your comment. I'm not tech-savy so I'm happy just to get some of my reactions off my chest after watching this little gem. Now, on to the next episode if I can remember where I was.

ep 19 Now that what you call a 'love boat'. He had to do a lot of 'sh**t' work to get her there. It's time for retribution for the evildoers.

Holy Hell, phosporous fire pill is defitely lethal. Mayor is distraught. Young Lord is distant. Shan is evil. Fei is perplexed. This little drama has certainly flown under the radar so far it seems.

Just finished ep 15 and the killing squads are out for Young Lord. His majesty and everyone else has condemned Fei. Big Bad Sister's ingenious schemes have all worked her way so far. It can only get worse at this point.

Impressive musical performances by Fei and squatting while listening by Young Lord. He does wear the most exquisitely printed outfits with design work and broaches.

Bad sister is wearing a hat that makes her look properly ridiculous. I guess helping to make that banister give way for nice sis to fall in the water didn't exactly go as planned. This is a quirky little musical with three reluctant pairings. Jin is the real sad sack.

thanks for this. i'm starting ep 9 and i'm getting impatient.

Ep. 14 finally a glimpse of the desert. What a hot mess this is, another silly bathing scene, ugly clay figurine couple, and what!? a suicide note? why? and she acts totally unperturbed ensuring him she won't open it until he's dead. His reasoning is because he has no one else in his life. So who's that buddy that's running all his errands and who's the old guy he's trying to rescue who saved his ass as kid? Drunken fish noodles win the contest, but no oasis is forthcoming.

Only on ep. 5 so I dare not look too far ahead on the commets, but I see the imposters sister is still at it and getting rewards for what she didn't do. When will the 'chickens come home to roost'? Her trying to learn the hand bells is boring and so is the lttle annoyance that is chasing Mr. Jin (used to be Chubby).

Ep. 13. I still can't get over those lips. If I were any of those MLs I would find them more intimidating than the 'inauspicious' blood she's always using to threaten with. These men can just traipse into the bedrooms of Na Zhan's 'flowers' anytime they want and play at being manly. She talks strategy with the Lord about how to use the desert, but I haven't seen a grain of sand anywhere lately.

Ep. 4 Travelling the high road to the sound of music. Travelling the low road as we listen to the arrangements that could well lead to plucking away at the secret notes of Symphony City.

Ep. 3 starts with a caterwauling competition and ends with filigree flute playing. In between, older sister fools Young Lord into believing she's his childhood benefactor. Little sister is reluctant to become his private entertainer. There's a plot in play that could have a deadly outro to this creation.

Ep. 2 That was a fabulous musical performance. Now it's time for 'tripping the light fantastic' among the swaying bamboo branches culminating in a slowly twirling descent onto a fast moving steed. Here we go, another drama trope about one girl fooling the hero into thinking they are childlhood buddies instead of the real one he met when in a dire situation. This cannot turn out well.

Just started this and it didn't take long for Young Lord to take off his clothes. Not much to see there. Looks like we're going to have some musical chairs between the sisters about who will attract his attention.

Ep. `12 I guess this could be called The Cook, The Lord, His Wife and Her Lover. He's not looking any the worse for wear despite the poisoned arrow in his back. It helps when the Lady blows on things. She lets the Spirit overcome her composure and pours out her heart while his is pounding beneath her.

Thanks for the response. It will take me a while to process.

There seems to be a lull in historical Cdramas right now so I guess we have to settle or rewatch old stuff.

I've seen up to ep 11 and if there was a rape scene I must have missed it. I usually stop watching dramas when characters that are not designated as evil start abusing women. That's why I stopped watching Allen Ren's abuse of FL in Love of Nirvana.

Actually I do. I find the ML stiff and his stalking unsettling. His constantly changing outfits are attractive but as they say 'all hat and no cattle'.The badit is energetic, spontaneous and can resist the 2nd princess' charms when he wants to. I also find the Lord (even though he may be an imposter) intellectually curious and respectful of the Princess knowledge, sexy when he decides to bed someone. As I say, the Princess is very clever except when it comes to the duds that are her companions.
