Way, way too much plot-induced-stupidity in this episode. Both the defense of the bridge by the 48S and the attack of same by Disha are comical. It's as if a middle-schooler who has never researched how a medieval fortification is defended / attacked wrote this scene up. I felt like I was watching a middle-school play.Deng's overly emotional reaction to bad news and immediate ruin of their defense of the gate was just beyond silly.Also, the stupidity of sending A'Yan down the mountain all alone is pure plot contrivance to setup her being rescued by Yang - saw that coming a mile away.And then little things like a scene where A'Fei impulsively and stupidly steps out into plain sight of the enemy guards - purely contrived so that Xie would pull her back into a romantic hug. Stuff like this is so weird and at odds with the reality that the characters would be facing in these circumstances.

the three emperors in this show are absolutely maddening. horrible fathers, all three of them, and i hope they all meet gruesome ends. unfortunately, i have my predictions for their fates: the void empress will end up killing the void tyrant and seizing power after he defies her, the human emperor will get a redemptive arc where everything he did to yetan is "for her own good" or some bs like that, and the celestial emperor is going to screw with the seal on guixu to get youqin under his thumb again. there are definitely more evil tricks up his sleeve, and i pray qingheng isn't stupid enough to talk to him about dongqiu. youqin was awesome this episode-- i really do love how the characters in this show stand up to the emperors, like how yetan yelled at the celestial emperor after youqin died, or when chaofeng was going to be executed and qingkui straight up told the void tyrant his son's death was his fault. idk maybe i'm just too irritated by the emperors. they've all lived too long-- it's time for at least one of them to die, and i think the first one who kicks the bucket will be that dumb, indecisive void tyrant

this was hella short & i am talking about the BL not the ep (which is also short) but the next ep is the end. ***********************there was a millisecond there that i wondered (in this ep) if the reason Chiaki didn't let Ai kiss him, is cause he was reminded of Enaga & not cause he was thinking of Enaga. which i assumed in the previous ep & was right. so Chiaki realizing at the end, that Enaga & Ai were one & the same - quite a shock to put it lightly. & given Chiaki issue with liars (if this was longer) the next ep wouldn't end with a 'happily ever after' but as it's the end am sure by the end they will make-up. so not that worried. ***************************************************************************************************************************************************the only thing i wanna point, this the 1st ep where there wasn't a loaded scene where the mains turned something mundane into something sensuel... just saying - lol.

Dao goes missing

Design changes requested for their project. YuYu makes a model car and shamelessly races against children to get his coveted trophy. Neighbor has appendicitis and has to stay in hospital so race to find doggy sitter for Dao. After failed attempts by Wu and Lin, YuYu finds himself drafted for the job. Dao got loose and made a mess everywhere. YuYu adapts and Dao now has royal guest room and board. 🤣 When evidence pointed to Dao for his prize car model and trophy to be knocked to floor and broken, Dao finds himself in Dr Gu’s home. YuYu finds out the drapes are the culprit for clearing the shelf. Dr Gu is on the phone with him when Dao works out leash knot and follows another pug. YuYu joins Dr Gu in the search and this episode leaves the cliffhanger if it’s Dao in the water floating or not.😝😱

Project vs principles

YuYu proves his innocence and magnanimously offers to take responsibility for the team and still apologize. He found the prettiest and smallest watermelon to take as a peace offering. He invited Dr Gu and got his mother’s hopes up when she learned they were making dumplings together. It went awkwardly and the gift was refused. It was funnier when he gifted it to Dr Gu she retaliated that it was too heavy for her.😂🤣 YuYu invites his neighbor to a party introducing the artwork of a local artist. Unfortunately for her, he took a shining to her and she was not as enamored .😝 She knew that Lin and Wu really wanted the project and would not block him until the project completed, in case the artist used her lack of interest to find a different design team. He specifically wants YuYu to design his home but like younger designer, he wants to be flashy rather than substantial. And when his trendy look no longer in fashion he would just demolish it and redesign. This goes against the grain for YuYu on every level, personally and professionally. He sees the artist as a lech and squanderer and wants nothing to do with him. Dr Gu is asked to change his mind, so she reminds him that they don’t always agree with his decisions but cooperate and now is his turn to take one for the tea,. He shocks them by accepting the job. He now expects his team to reward him for cooperating. 😂🤣Dr Gu is surprised she changed his mind and smiled that she did. Lin and Wu see massive dollar signs for now, but I wonder how they will feel when this project is over. They even know this guy is persistent in bugging neighbor and the only one truly concerned is YuYu. I am curious if they will learn some things are more important than money after this venture.

ima be the odd one out, but i Don't like…

ima be the odd one out, but i Don't like Yoo Do Ha, he acts cute & innocent leaning on the guys around him, cause he's so fragile he can't do a thing without their help - basically covertly flirting with them & then acts surprised, when they confess. but u can't fault poor innocent Yoo Do Ha - god forbid u cast any blame on this airheaded moron, cause he was blindsided - like come on. ************************************************************************************************************************************& he runs away instead of dealing with a situation. i think Taek Gyeon wanted to punch Do Ha but he can't, so he targeted Ha Ram - who didn't deserve to get punched! he didn't kidnap Do Ha, didn't make him misplace his phone & he for sure didn't make him avoid facing both Taek Gyeon & Yeon Sang. ******************************************************************************so i don't like Do Ha, he the type of character that only takes & takes, even when in a relationship he the one that needs constant handholding & catering too, cause he that incompetent. this fast becoming a trash BL that i personally am coming to hate cause of the MC, spoilt ass moron that he is, sorry not sorry. thank f*ck there only 2 more eps for this or i would've dropped this.

Secrets and musings

Dr Gu’s dad is pushing YuYu to talk her into marrying quickly. There is a reason but it is initially kept secret. I am glad it was for a different reason than I thought. I feared he was dying and wanted to see his daughter be settled first. Fortunately that wasn’t the case. They finally had a conversation about her mom. Dr Gu always thought her dad just wanted to forget her and move on. When he brought her the dishes she used to make, he finally explained himself to her. This healed a rift she had held against him probably for years. YuYu trying to catch a goldfish. I have never seen a paper net like that before but it was very amusing to watch him get chided by the children for not being able to catch one. Funnier still when the stall person let him buy one.🤣 he went from a small fishbowl to a huge tank that YuYu will not ever put another fish in. It is interesting that Dr Gu’s dad chooses YuYu to confide in and that YuYu was more than happy to learn Dr Gu’s favorite childhood dishes. She recognizes that they are of similar disposition and holds her own with both of them.😂 His young neighbor is starting to reflect on what she will do when she grows up. YuYu has all the numbers for her.😂Their project is finally agreed upon but I feel for both the couple and the parents. It may seem to be easier to combine households, but privacy becomes a much bigger deal. They were wise to keep both bathrooms and add storage. Dr Gu missed a bullet with that dumpling guy. He had a legitimate complain but then he had to come back and get more involved with them after the initial apology. The contractor and designers acted like children and while they were bickering and pushing each other around Mr dumpling got hit in the face. Tbh I don’t know who really ended up hitting him. Wu gave YuYu the blame and Sun is already annoyed his workmanship is again in question. YuYu is getting the security recordings to find out exactly what happened. He is adamant about proving his innocence. This episode had a more thoughtful theme. The father/daughter relationship and remarrying after the death of a spouse. Life choices and how that effects future happiness and success. Friends sharing favorite things and memories. And why does YuYu like little women story? Is it because Dr Gu does? There was little comedy this episode but it was still enjoyable. The cast can deliver poignant as well as comedy. It continues to be an 8.5 watch for me.
