Love Like the Galaxy: Part 2 Episode 5

The cost of sincerity

Shaoshang's sincerity when it comes to helping the people she cares about is something I absolutely love about her. 💖 I know she doesn't think of the consequences and often just acts on impulse, but we shouldn't forget that she is actually still a teenager—what, about 16 years old or so? 🥺But I do also get why Buyi is worried. 😔 The Imperial Palace is not an easy place to navigate, and anything one says or does can have huge consequences. However, it would be helpful if he taught Shaoshang how to tell what is what... and she, in turn, needs to let him teach her. 👆Every time they have a deeper conversation that borders on an argument, it is one step closer to the growth of their relationship, and it is always needed. They both always reflect after each argument and become wiser for it. 😌✨The Crown Prince giving his tiger tally to someone wasn't a very clever move. 🤦‍♀️ It's a relief that the other party was Ling Buyi. But what if that had been someone with ill intentions and ambitions? Then it could have been the greatest mistake the Crown Prince ever made. Just saying... 🤐

I thought Lady Luo was a good person... Well,…

I thought Lady Luo was a good person... Well, myb I can't say anything bcs she had to marry far for her family that was why she was so... bitter? she thought shaoshang was lucky, however she didn't know what shaoshang had to endure and only now she got to be be pampered. What Buyi said was right, it was useless if you didn't hv capable ppl assisting you. Shaoshang might think she did something, yeah she had good intention but the matters of Crown Prince can become serious matter that threaten someone's life. I exclaimed to the phone screen during Crown Prince and Buyi convo, "Ohh BUYI'S MAD MAD" what Buyi said to Shaoshang was right but I think some of what shaoshang said was right too. But importantly THEY COMMUNICATE.

My two cents on the argument between CSS & LBY

I think the argument between Cheng Shaoshang and Ling Buyi was necessary in this episode. I couldn't find myself to support one more than the other in that scene.

LBY has his own internal issues, hence doesn't trust people that easily and hasn't let CSS in yet. He was right in worrying about CSS as matters in the Imperial Court is very tricky and dangerous. You never know who's on your side and who's not.

Now looking at the scene from CSS perspective, she has her own trust issues too. LBY just dropped her in the palace saying she shouldn't be reckless there. He doesn't share much about why and she isn't used to being in Imperial Court. She is kind to those who treat her with good intentions, she wants to look after the people she cares about and doesn't think much beyond that. That's who she is and always has been.

Understanding one another, opening up, sharing their thoughts and learning to trust each other is important for these two characters, and I hope this leads to further growth in their relationship.
