I think my heart just broke

I mean, I knew all along that Ming just looked at Joe as Tong's stand-in, but I also thought that maybe Ming may have started to have feelings for Joe. They have their sweet moments together. I just didn't expect Ming to break Joe's heart this way.

Ming, what's up with you?

I think Ming intended to use Joe as Tong's stand-in and even said so, but he's catching feelings. And Joe is already far gone, totally falling first even though Ming has a mercurial personality. They have their sweet moments and maybe that's one recalls to overcome the tough parts.

Lies are uncovered. Will truths be revealed?

Ha-ha. It's about time. I wasn't sure how long it would take before the lies caught up with them. I'm looking forward to the next episode to see what truths are actually revealed.

That was intense

YanXi is thankfully several steps ahead of the Crown Prince, so he was able to circumvent this potential tragedy. I love the actor who plays the Sixth Prince. Looking forward to his career, past being a child actor.

He fell first

I don't know exactly when, but it's been obvious for a while that he's fallen for her. That panicked face and him running down those steps trying to get to her engagement banquet... too funny.

Palace intrigue to the max

So that d@mn queen dowager is not related to the Crown Prince, I hope. What a b*tch! I am not sure how she suspected it was he who found out her indiscretion, but still.Then, to be surrounded to people you absolutely cannot trust is the worst.

Good start

Good start to this drama. Looking forward to the next episode. I like the FL so far, not a typical prim and proper FL.

I love their friend group

It's just so special for each of them to support Mian Mian in what she hoped to achieve. I loved it!

Elders' blessing

In their culture, it's so important to get their elders' blessing. I'm happy for Lin YiYang and Yin Guo that they can finally be open about their relationship.

My favorite episode, so far

Xian Xian was very insightful about herself in this episode, and I loved it. It's been obvious for a while that Si Yue likes her, but I love the way he encourages her to be the best version of herself.

Way is messing up with Babe's head

Way may think he's helping his friend but he's really messing up with Babe's head and concentration. I still can't figure out what Charlie and Jeff are up to, but I feel that Babe's caught in the middle.

Confession

Wow, that felt a bit rushed. With only 8 episodes, maybe it needed to be said sooner rather than later, and it seems like Guy has chosen even though he was still feeling confused earlier that day.I don't know how P'Tew wil get away so this will be interesting.

I didn't expect that ending

I'm enjoying it so far and it's keeping my interest. The General Manager has gotten softer in the short amount of time since his new secretary showed up. It's nice to see the change. And all his other staff seem happier too.

A new dream for Qiu Ying

I can understand YiYi's reluctance to allow Qiu Ying to get close to Xiang Kong, after all he played her pretty well in the past. And everything that has gone wrong recently was related to him. But, Xiang Kong is sincere now in repairing their friendship and has even called Qiu Ying his top fan.Qiu Ying no longer want to return to the toxic environment of her old employer, but is eager to embrace eSports commentating with Luo Tian as her idol. This time, she has Xiang Kong's support in her new endeavor. I liked this episode where I can see our leads growing slowly closer.

Bamboo house

"Let's test the shake," purely from an academic standard of course, because Pran is an architect student and Pat is an engineering student. OMG, funniest pick up line ever. So nice to see their incredible chemistry.
