As noted in a prior episode review, the Du Yang Xi character shows his petty, spiteful nature right away in his new marriage. It's one thing that he hadn't yet scene the face of his new wife due to his mother agreeing to the change in bride, but isn't he aware of the fact that Shou Hua is the one who actually saved him from freezing to death in the streets? For that alone, smple human gratitude should have him kowtowing to her for the rest of his life. The fact that his bizarre, emotionally challenged friend saw Du's wife's face and experienced her care before Du did is a pathetic little regret that Du will always have to live with. He has so much to make up to her now in this marriage. It was SO satisfying to see that even Sang the Stone understands that Du has wronged his wife and kicks him out of his room. Of course, soon enough, he realizes his mistake but his pride and pettiness drag out the reconciliation and worse, his naive and shallow understanding of 'principles' that he adheres to make him an easy mark for manipulation.

IrenaK Even though they haven’t actually been caught yet, I don't think they are doing a very good job of hiding it or sneaking around! They always meet in such exposed areas that can be overlooked from quite a distance… At night, they have lanterns lit absolutely everywhere around them… And Xiao Duo is now just openly wearing Yinlou’s Fish Immortal token?! Do they not care about my nerves? I am so on edge whenever they meet because the Emperor or any of his men could easily see them. And Empress Rong'an has already put two and two together… poor Tongyun has even been dragged into one of her malicious schemes now. Oh, my… The only consolation is that Princess Hede is actually helping them now!

So proud of the show writers for not dragging the main couple's separation out for 20+ episodes through various plot contrivances, such as is so common in so many c-ddramas! Thank you, writers! Hopefully we now get to see the two clever leads working together as a team to solve the various problems they will face.

nero truong I’ve finally gotten to start this as apart of my marathon of the「 super hero time 」seasons that directly respond to the tohoku earthquake as did「 kis-my-ft2 」’s debut song reworking. i have always wanted to watch this season as i do love pirates & yamada yuki looks amazing but i hekld back on it because it was an anniversary season but i don’t really care about that anymore this is anthropology now ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ my current ranking is yellow luka » blue joe » pink ahim » red marvelous » green doc. i like luka she’s spunky & firey & I’m excited to see what they make of her. joe is sexy. ahim is the one I’m most interested in where they take her. she’s most likely a princess or noble lady but i think it’d be cool to see her be the complete oppsotie & piracy is her way of getting to that life+style shje performs. ozawa ryota is not as charismatic as i expected him to be but i like how unfriendly he is. i really like how minimal this episode was with showing & not telling to leave them some mystique which fits him well ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ doc is the least interesting to me i laughed when i say his bounty but he has some fun quirks. i think the translator made an error in calling him doc so i assumed he was a medic on the team but he still has his acrobatics that intrigue me ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ this is my first ever sentai season where the entire team is established already & i like how they went about it. each of them left a pretty favorable impression on me & I’m excited to start this new season.

The presence of Eun-si in the cafe when they were discussing about the return of in The Eight Club. This is the only flaw I have come through otherwise it's quite relatable and satisfying.

this was an emotionally draining ep, poor Sumiko idk why Ryu didn't stay with her when she was with her in-laws, maybe it wasn't acceptable - but as he knows she doesn't have family. having to face them in her condition wasn't fair. so am happy Jo Han thought to mention visiting her. if he hadn't idk what would've been the outcome - not good that's for sure. but cause of the visit with Ryu's family & the support of not just Ryu's mother, but also Ryu & Jo Han offering they move in together saved not just her but also her unborn child. this ep broke my heart & as this a running theme throughout this drama. nothing new.... just wondering what more is gonna go wrong as there 2 more ep's to go & i doubt the writer is gonna give us the sliver lining without the dark clouds ugh

i don’t care what the liberal bourgeoisie have to say STALKING PHONE DATE BROUHT THIS SHOW TO NEW HEIGHTS. was it corny when they revealed ren secretly donates to orphanages YES but was it truly romantic when they revealed shu was also PAYING FOR EVERYTHING & MAKING HER FEEL LUCKY ALL DAY YUUUP. & THEN WE’re GOING TO TEMPORARILY BLIND MIKO THIS ENTIRE EPISODE & HAVE HER RUN TO REN AT THE WORST POSSIBLE MOMENT WOWWW this episode won me over ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ i think they chose the right moment to actually enter nana into the competition because i thikn the hurdle of being an idol band+man is jumped. i am still extremely cautious about how this is going to go when we still have eight more epiodes ofa slow±burn. this show is slowly getting better each episode though it feels more like the natural hectic nature of being a celebrity hiding things with romantic moments seeping there way through at every turn rather than the initial flash±bang of trope after trope after trope ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ i like how ren is softening up without completely morphing & it’s more fun when we have moments ewhre miko isn’t fearing him. still mixed about how i feel about miko ，there’s a lot of great imagery in this episode though.

I must say — I do love how they play with colours in some scenes, where part of the picture becomes greyish and only specific characters remain in colour. I think it’s a brilliant way of showing us what’s important in that particular moment. I only wonder why they chose those specific scenes to highlight that way. It’s quite amusing to see how Deng Yi, Xie Yanfang, Xiao Xun, and Chu Zhao can anticipate each other’s moves just by knowing what is supposedly happening with them. To be fair, Xiao Xun seems the least dangerous of the three; his game is already quite transparent. Deng Yi holds that element of unpredictability because of the child he always plays Go with — I still don't know who the boy is, what he signifies, or what his influence over Deng Yi really is. Meanwhile, Xie Yanfang is the hardest to read — he schemes against absolutely everyone, yet he shows certain qualities that make him quite sympathetic. For me, he’s easily the most intriguing of the three villains! I loved how Chu Zhao got some random lady to play her mother! But to be fair, I am completely with Fu Jiu about that woman — she's suspicious. It's not just the stopped carriage, but also that extra line she added for the people questioning them. It will be interesting to see how everything continues now that Chu Zhao and Fu Jiu are away from the capital, far from the little emperor, while Deng Yi and Xie Yanfang play their power games back there and Xiao Xun is out for Chu Zhao's blood.

day I love how we start off with Niran smiling at Pete. also I love how everyone stayed at Pete's house as if to protect him. at first I was generally confused on what the dolls Niran was stitching were for. I don't know why but I felt hurt when Fei was talking to Niran. Niran was saying he was gonna get paid millions to perform a ritual for a couple and then Fei tells him why is he doing this if he never even uses his money. I don't know why but it made me wanna cry. I also got sad when Yok (the young girl) gets told by the adults drinking that she is a kid and would know nothing. and Yok then says she grew up with an alcoholic dad who got violent every time he was drunk. I also jumped up when the demon was in Pete and Pete jumped off the top of the stairs. the fact his 3 friends went to go get him shows real friendship in my opinion. When Niran grabbed the dolls and a piece of Pete's hair from the bed I already knew what was about to happen. I gasped in horror and worry when Pete held onto the sheet and pulled Jack off the motorcycle. Liked that looked so painful. Kudos to Ken for his acting though. when I saw the gold line connecting Pete and Niran I was like "woah that's so beautiful". When Pete suddenly started seeing Niran in everyone's faces I was like "oooh Pete's in love". However Jack did look so cute with that pink bandaid on his nose. then when Pete actually found Niran and asked him if the ritual is gonna make them fall in love with each other. I started laughing. that's when Niran finally says the dolls were for a couple who already are in love and the ritual was supposed to make sure the couple don't separate from each other. then later when they finally took the tape off and agreed to share the room normally. I also love how Jack,Thua, and Tao were shocked to find out they were the sacrifices lmfao. I also love how no one questioned how close Niran and Pete got face to face. like "Oh no this is normal". lmfao. also when I saw them trapped in the smoke, the smoke in general made me sick and have a panic attack. Anyways, the butterfly Niran saw, is perfect. it probably means something bad but it's still beautiful. I also love how Pete made the "wu" shirts and made Niran take photos with him, Niran looked so done but in the last photo he was smiling. SO CUTE

BurntBaguettes I really don’t want a migraine in the morning because I have a final presentation so I low-key gotta go to bed but trust me if this entire show was all the way out I would’ve finished that shit tonight. Not a lot is happening, but I feel very obsessed with this show and I don’t know why I think it’s because I love their chemistry and they’re acting. It feels very natural in a way and doesn’t feel very force and smell like that. They have an interesting dynamic and then his ex also pulled up at the end and I want more longer with the ex and all that because that could be interesting also, I want to know what happens next and why does In pull away from him like that just like walk but I guess we have to find out fucking tmrw what the fuck? Okay bye!

Serenity05 This episode really shows the corruption of the Republican era. Watching a competent woman being sidelined is frustrating but that's how it was during that time.

I told myself I was gonna start this after finals so next Tuesday, but I slipped and fell and I started this shit today if it’s OK I’m gonna watch one more episode and then I’m gonna go to bed.

here i was trepidatious going into this ep cause i didn't want to see the "fall out" of Jo Han's situation - ironically he was let go - cause thankfully the bar owner wasn't bought by the shady Shim f*ck. but that f*ck did get the public involved with fake-new spread online & as we know the public doesn't care if it's true or not - they just need someone to take out all that's wrong in their own lives on. poor Jo Han got kicked around, rejected & bullied that he just decided to run away. thankfully his sister & Ryu cared enough to come in-search of him. & Ryu offered that he come live with him in Japan. so something bitter sweet & heartwarming pretty quite. was hoping that finally "they" would let us breath - nope. *********************************************the sec the focus shifted to Sumiko & Seiichi i knew something bad was gonna happen, as their life was going too well - they were happy & the writer of this doesn't like happiness - he gotta show us how brutal life can be, so every character in his drama gotta suffer - ugh. ********************************************************************************************************************side note: i have seen a lot of comments saying that there aint a kiss to make it definitive that they r a couple, personally i think this is progressing realistically. not every couple hops into bed the sec they meet - some need time like getting into a cold bath - some might jump in, other will dip a toe & progress slowly. Ryu & Jo Han might not be intense in their attraction, but it's something more - that's why this is called soul mate - cause they connected on a deeper level & u see how much they care for each other in the little things & that makes this that much more "moving" IMO. i love them living together, but as there 3 more ep's to go i doubt this will last which makes me sad but that is life...
