Rumour has it Lao Ai was gifted to Zhao Ji because he had a big *ahem*. Big enough that he could put it into wheels…
Geez... I never thought or expected... am choking with laughter I need a time out and when I catch my breath I need to rewind and rewatch.... You are really... shakes head....
Yes, that's a great idea. I love it here, let's not move!
Couldn't agree more. He talks a lot and when it comes to actions it is hit or miss. I read he was supposed to be insolent and arrogant but wow the way its portrayed here and his constantly smug expression just rubs me the wrong way...
There's no reason Lao Ai would get this much time, *complains loudly over and over again* He's not Lv Buwei, I'd…
You mean Blossoms Shanghai? I definitely plan to watch it. Tbh I did try to watch Disguiser I keep abandoning it. Same with Wild Goose Lake. I think MCS was just such an iconic role for Hu Ge its hard to watch him in anything else, at least for me anyway.

Ep 40 without spoiling it is the first time Zhang Luyi/Ying Zheng's performance is impressing me. Otherwise I agree that Lv Buwei vs Li Si is anchoring the show and I am not sure what's going to happen when Lv Buwei exits - Ying Zheng has to step up. As it is I feel they are already dragging out Lv Buwei's story to keep him on longer. My mom says there was an economic minister that was very influential as well but I didn't notice him. She says he has been low key introduced already.
I dislike Li Si. I think the acting is alright but he is written to be dislikable. How he handled Prince Yu situation was a total f-up and he is unapologetic and insolent. I don't think Ying Zheng likes him that much either and the future dynamic between them could get interesting.

Not exactly, HK lacks diversity. So you are either part of the expat community or you are not. And if you are, everyone pretty much knows everyone within 2-3 degrees of separation. The rest of HK is very local, they love Western culture/shows and HK/Canto culture/shows. Whatever c-dramas that air on my cable are dubbed into Canto... yeah nowhere near as big an atrocity as the English dubbed Qin S1 I sent you but still I roll my eyes.
I still haven't gotten round to watching Disguiser but that doesn't sound promising. He also IMHO bombed Wild Goose Lake, I fall asleep every time I try to watch it...
Yes, that's a great idea. I love it here, let's not move!
I am a bit sad about Lv Buwei, I like him a lot because for a mere merchant he has higher goals. Like he always knew Li Si would be a grave threat to him but he recruits and elevates him anyway because he recognises his own limitations and the fact that Ying Zheng and Qin empire needs people like him. I see Li Si's brilliance he is everything Lv Buwei admires but is not and as you say the acting is on point. But he is a bit OTT arrogant like he is too good to fail and I can't help but think its hubris and maybe its gonna hurt him later on. And I can't help but admire Lv Buwei's ability to make way for great talent even if it may bring about his eventual downfall... Both characters are making the show.

Actually I pulled up pix of Hu Ge and there is one of him with a beard. I take it all back I was so wrong, he could totally kill it as a MATURE Yin Zheng. But 20, I think is hard unless they use Ant Man technology...

Its literally 2-3 degrees of separation. When I lived in NY I could go out and be completely anonymous. Here for sure I will run into someone I know. It is claustrophobic. The situation in HK is very polarised and the anti-China sentiment is quite strong among the local community. They don't want to watch mainland movies or dramas - most c-dramas are not available on my cable and I have to do ridiculous things like use a VPN that says I am in the US to watch some shows...
I submitted a change to just get rid of the Part 2 page. None of the platforms are breaking it into 2, they just keep going on to 41, 42, etc. So suggest to stay on this page/thread for now and hopefully MDL just gets rid of Part 2 page.

Heheh actually HK is a VERY small town... over time got to know lots of people working for the production companies and platforms so I hear a lot of the wild stories... Sadly very few mainland dramas make it to theaters here unless its by a HK director or one of the very big names. Hollywood and HK movies are much more popular but I have some hope for Soul because Chang Chen is a popular Taiwanese actor. Imagine, they didn't even screen Nezha here...
Jingling urges Pengcheng not to despair. The vindictive bastard Wang Mian's confession which names Lige as a co-conspirator…
I think they left it open to that interpretation as well. IMHO the end was actually very well done although yes indeed, they killed off too many people unnecessarily.
