I kept thinking how Niran and Pete are really like Yin and Yang. Two halves that make one wholesome duo.
Niran is someone who might look very simple, calm, down to earth, but deep down he has loads that he buried, be it regarding his path as Wu, regarding his grandpa, regarding his relationship with the Clan - the only straightforward and pure relationship he has is with Pete. Someone who doesn't add to his burden.
Pete, on the other hand, is someone who might have a complex personality due to his life and past, even with the demon sealed in him, but he is someone who is pure inside. He just wants things to go well in his life, for once. He might have anger issues, but he is also someone who wants to move forward. He doesn't trust himself, but he still trusts Niran and is grateful that there's someone out there who sees him for him, not for his bad luck, bad life, or anger outbursts. Someone who gave him an out to his bad life, without any bad intentions.
I freaking cried with today's episode. What a heartfelt one. Nani really put in his all for this episode for real. The different types of crying ><
1. Sad that he cant stay with his parents even though its all he wants 2. Devastated about losing his important one.
The whole journey to convince Niran's ethereal soul to go back with him willingly... also depends on Niran's state of mind at that stage he's in 1. as a kid, 2. as a new Wu, 3. as the one that got lost.
I would have died if P'Wa ended at the black screen I SWEAR.
So we have always seen a Butterfly around Niran from the very first episode.. The butterfly always guided him…
Oohh interesting take. Hmm significance of the butterfly I would link to spirits and grandpa, cos in chinese folk mythology, we often link butterflies as spirits and loved ones that passed. Hopefully we'll see more! Parbdee just updated their logo and the butterfly is still in play~
I have a doubt - what exactly was fear of Jia Hao ? And how come hurting himself helped , also when others defeated…
His fear I feel is being stuck in the mundane, amongst rules and duties of Wu, he doesnt like being held down and wants to do things his way. That's why he appears to drink for fun, to get along with life, while still doing his best in the endless yao management. Thats my take at least :)
i didn't understand what he meant by that? how does that help pete?
Hmm, my take is Niran considered releasing Qirong to save Ploy but he cant tell anyone about it. Fei would have stopped it because her ultimate goal is to seal Qirong and save the political turmoil happening, who knows if she will turn to other WUs to make it happen. (not that its a bad intent, but its just a very complex situation.) But, Pete's main goal is to save his sister. He went in thinking he can save his sister. That's his last surviving kin. He cant lose her too, after his parents.
Niran, Fei and Jiahao are all aware of this but did not give Pete the full truth because they do need everyone to be 110% in for the ritual. If not theres not even a chance to even go ahead, or a chance to save ploy.
It was a do or dont be damned situation for Niran, but ultimately he chose to release a weakened Qirong and all the innocent spirits cos by right they can still attempt to seal again.
This episode is EPIC! It's so layered and nuanced. We get a bigger and better look of each character through their trials set up by Qi Rong during the Ritual. AND how would've thought that Game Theory and Prisoner's Dilemma is in play post ritual?!
I loved how intense the whole episode is. Every cast and crew DELIVERED!!
I just finished Episode 5.. omg I'm super speechless. It is really worthy of the big screen. OMG. The intensity, the whole arc, the theatrics, the character and relationship growth between the characters, especially Niran and Pete.
Absolutely loved today's episode. The character develoment in Pete, the steadiness of Niran's character to ground Pete and help him tame the demon, his pride and care towards Pete.
Omg I loved every bit of it. I cried for Pete, and felt grounded even more with Niran's words. His words and worries further show his cares for Pete.
We understand Pete alot more this episode and more insights to why he has outbursts and bad outlook of his life etc. Want to give him a big big hug. <3
No wonder Nani wants us to watch EP 5 on a big screen. SO EXCITING! Cant wait for Next Tuesday~~~
it's a chinese metaphor for the PM leaning towards a bigger "power" to get rid of Bao Cheng.
No problem at all :) Chinese is a very character context language, but I thought the EN subs would have gotten an equivalent for better understanding. Who knows they actually translated it directly for context
