Cuo Dian Yuan Yang Episode 2

Episode 2

Married....And Humiliated
1. Huan Er (this is a fake identity, remember) marries Shi Wu Ji by proxy/Second Master marries her as a rep for his eldest brother--who happens to be in the area but i suppose he wants to make sure his family understands that this is purely about business...the revenge business :O

2.Shi Wu Ji gets hammered (in a scene that is rarely seen in dramas,he does not pour his drink into the little cup but just drinks the alcohol straight from the spout) and with a cold, bordering on sneering expression he confides to second master that he has absolutely no desire to consummate this marriage

3.Always wise, second master suggests that he just pretend she is a prostitute :O

4.Looking unattractive Shi Wu Ji stumbles in and collapses on the bed. Annoyed, Huan Er dumps a bowl of water on him and not only does this wake him up, but our hero lashes out at her, picks her up (she's quite tiny compared to him) and sort of shakes her a little and asks her what is the matter with her/she doesn't take this passively she yells right back and then it looks like he might get physical but our hero wouldn't sink so low, he instead leaves

---hero knows she is a fake because Dr Len tells him, after she begs him not to--

5.Now married, they return home. Sadly, she waits for her family to see her off (she really wants to see her dad) and he does not come--Second Master is the most empathetic while first master looks both gloomy and angry (his usual expression)

6.She and her new sister in law are in the carriage--and she throws up a lot during this journey--I feel bad for her but it is pretty funny and a rare scene from a drama where the female character is a bit more human

7.She goes to this cliff looking all isolated and lonely, and it looks like she might jump but instead she promises Huan Er (the one who died, apparently) that she will live well (although I wonder if Huan Er will pop up again and try to take back what should have been hers)

8.Hero and Second master watch this--potential love interests?

9.They stay at an inn and some guy who wants to impress the sister-in-law hires some ninjas to attack only the ninjas go overboard and start getting really violent and the hero and family fight back--there is a wicked funny scene in which our leading lady fights back with a chair--proving again she can hold her own--she gets cut across the back defending sister in law and hero applies medicine--emphatic that he must be the one--

I really, really like this show. I can tell it is going to be excellent. The acting is good, the plot is interesting, and nothing feels contrived or fake. The actors have good chemistry. It has a few campy scenes, like when they disguise themselves as ghosts to get info but that was about a minute long, so I can live with it.
