Progress with the parents

This episode shows a wise father figuring out who cares for his daughter. Qian Fei’s determination to make Yi Fei guilty of having a gf is a bit annoying now. He has told her repeatedly that he doesn’t and her own father reminded her that the girl liking him doesn’t mean his affection is returned for her. Wang should have taught her that. 😝 When I saw she brought her master bear and wanted to snuggle it…I forgave her. 🥰Yi Fei is cute buying flowers. He wants her to know he likes her but subtly. She was very pleased with the daisies so he did well. I have been beyond tired of Jun Cheng and Dang Yu. But….that conversation he had with her mom….to record and share it with her was a special moment. This is one time I did not begrudge screen time. YiFei makes such little efforts with his dad except shamelessly asking for a w0 million loan. He has no clue his father’s group is in trouble because he is so tied up with Fuxilada. His father is secretly quite proud of his son’s efforts and determined to not let him fail. Lu Ze is finally seeing his dream becoming reality by changing the venue for his app. YiFei sees it’s potential keeping record of specific farming details. It can trace from seed to end product as well as let individual see how their efforts perform. Lu Ze is quite happy and plans on a fancy dinner with JingJing to celebrate. Jin surprisingly agreed to back off after confessing and seeing how little impact that have with YiFei. She even gave him words of wisdom that weren’t trite but actually helpful. When picked up she wants to drive home. She notes the extra slippers and that’s accounted for with flower watered. What is tripping him up now is the long hair she found in living room. She is OCD about cleaning, but ……😝🫣🙄really? Had there been a video like I expected she would have had reason for jealousy. This….is none of her business when she friend zoned him. She can’t have it both ways. Besides the fact he is only guilty of rendering aid. 😝Seems Ms Fang has feet of clay as mentor.

Holidays with family

This episode shows the family dynamics at Dang Yu’s house. Her sis is resentful of being stuck at home and jealous that Dang Yu gets to send home money and call it a day. Dang Yu sees her sis as a freeloader off their parents and another mouth to feed. The dad is very quiet except in making it clear which is the preferred daughter. We don’t know what her mom said to Jun Cheng, but he has a pretty good handle on mothers. 🤣 He knew to show up with a gift and to make clear his intentions. I am thinking the dance project is going to end up being more a competition but if they work together it might bring understanding to Jun’s parents. Yi Fei sees Qian Fei off at the airport and has a gift for her dad. His phone would have plenty of pics of her, she just never thought to have pics of him. Funny her dad aware of the comedian pic she showed him. 🤣😂 They seem close and chat freely except about her bf status. After Wang and then that debacle of a blind date her dad set up for her, I can’t blame her for wanting this topic off the table for discussion. Liao Shi Yu is pragmatic about Wang and accepts that she will have to work with Qian Fei. What was news is that there was a time when Wang was a hero for her. He may not have even realized it or that was a freak accident and not really his character. If they have written him completely out of the drama now….good riddance.🥳Jin has found a way to get to Yi Fei’s home. She is going to have her congee class online and be a bur for him where Qian Fei is concerned. Qian Fei will have herself equal to blame because she went to great lengths to friend zone him. Next episode looks like Liao and his money hungry partner may make a deal bypassing Yi Fei’s veto. YiFei should have listened to his partner and found out the names of investors. If a contract is signed it will be no bueno for his company.

Wanted and unwanted bonds

I think Hu Jiaping could be Jiang Lifei's senior brother. Maybe he knows of her existence but never actually met her, and that's why he didn't recognise her right away? 🤨 And the fact of how offended he looked just by seeing that drawing of his face... lol! That picture really makes me laugh every time they show it on screen. 😂Prince Tongzhou is becoming more and more present around the lead couple. Did he mention why he wanted Xiuyuan to work for him? 🤔 However, his concern about Xiuyuan's health was quite funny—how he just flew past Lifei to catch the guy... 🤭 That scene gave me a total BL vibe, though I am not sure if that was the intention there! 🤷‍♀️

if the guy he murdered is cool with it

I’m not going to share my back+story［ unless your asssk * ］but like i now understand why this episode was like ，incredibly choppy ？i also learned that people felt gentaro getting cosmic states fights with ryusei’s story+line but i honestly really like it. it’s an epic moment where ryusei is at rock bottom with absolutely nothing fighting while still believing gentaro is dead because he killed him ，just for gentaro to come in revived because of the people ryusei just fought to protect. i liked it a lot ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ i think this was an incredibly fun episode, i loved the subaruboshi resistence squad I LOVE HOW IT LOOKS LIKE IT’s ALWAYS RAINING. i expected there to be a caveat with waking jirou up & it happened & i quite liked it. i think this was a pretty good & satisfying episode for everypony all around. now to watch the director’s cut.

Five Stars

I'm so so so late to the party and nobody is here anymore, but I'm just so floored by how this drama keeps on surprising me. I put this one because i wanted a "fun" and "light" show as a palate cleanser in between heavier ones, and I thought I did so well by choosing this. All they did was have fun in anachronisms and eat hot pot but then Ep 7/8 rolled around and shit got real, and shit keeps getting real!!I had thought for sure that the increased screentime for the astronomer would mean HE would die; I didn't expect it to be the envoy, man his whole meeting with Dan was so sad. Yong'er 1) being firmly in the protagonists' camp and 2) being so creative in communicating with them and 3) obtaining/providing the means to get access to the mausoleum was also a great surprise. Then there's also the fight between the prince and Mr. Bei. Like the cinematography didn't have to go that hard but I guess they felt like the owed it to Louis Fan to give him a good fight scene? And of course the dialogue between the prince and Dan had surprising depths. This show was so unassuming based on its premise and the initial episodes, and even the taobao-core costumes belied the depths the writing goes to. I'm so glad I put this on!
