ShortCircuit

Definitely a good story, a subtle romance and a not-so-subtle bromance, LOL. It's very good. But they haven't kissed yet, so far.

Not that the story needs it, IMHO.

RIP Wen ZongYu, the idiot, good riddance! What was he thinking of even doing with the ever-burning wood if he didn't know the simplest safety rules around it?!

What does it mean that now Li Lun is detoxified? Will that make him stronger... or will it give Bai Jiu a chance to break out? Especially if PSJ and Ying Lei take him to Bai Yan. I imagine the shock of seeing his mother will help him escape, if anything.

BUT~~~ At the same time... BAI JIU POISONED THE BAIZE TOKEN! So let's count - first he's a spy from the very beginning, then he poisons the token, then he pretends to help when he's actually doing the opposite, then he deserts them, then he's taken over by Li Lun... and STILL they're giving him chances?

But why?? And why not even begin giving Zhu Yan chances, either, since they're so forgiving??

Dammit, it took so much time and pain for ZYC to accept ZY and put aside their death promise - though my heart is jumping with joy everytime they're mentioning they're zhiji because (if not lovers) YES they obviously are!

But now I am VERY mad at ZYC - he knows the method to cure Wen Xiao and he IS a demon already... he won't tell ZY and choose to do it himself, won't he? Except Ying Lei and PSJ - and definitely Li Lun - also know. It'll be a race of what happens first - ZY finds out or ZYC does it before he finds out...
'
5 eps to go. I guess we should get ready for a whole world of pain already.

PS Bai Yan's voice is so interesting.

How come it's always Tian JiaRui laughing as they dance the ED sequence? He's so different than his drama character :D

In this ep: boys and their toys. They thought they had a method so they tried it, WHY NOT? If I were Wen Xiao, I'd punish them so they never tried it again, LOL.

A calm episode just means you're warned the next one will be a heartbreaker. We've seen the pattern way too many times before...

Everybody was having the time of their lives pretending to betray Zhu Yan.
Zhuo YiChen, dead serious: "If you want to get to him, you'll have to get through ME."

I can see why he's mad at them, LOL. Now ZY knows even more how deep in he's got hahaha~

I'm just mad a few of the idiom innuendos passed me by and I didn't really get the joke, dammit. What was it about the sweet and sour ribs that sounded like a smooth joke that Ying Lei didn't catch?

Also, Wen Xiao:"Let's live together then."
Flashback to ZYC:"I think I've got it!"

OMG LOL.

If they BOTH die, ISTG I'll go over there and slap everyone silly.

It could have been a very strong reaction to evil-energy-possessed Zhu Yan at the time. And maybe that's how it "woke up" too.

This must be my first Thai non-BL and IT ROCKED!!! I'm most impressed with New, wow, he's such a great actor! I hope they give him more (non-BL) well-scripted dramas, he has the chops for them! All the others also were great, including the uncle (and the zany aunt, LOL).

"Where were you aiming, idiot?" LMFAO

Also, the only letters lighting up and Suradech crying out in surprise - he must've felt called upon hahaha~

This was an amazing story (particularly the second half, but they built on the first part too, in order to have the last half make a better impact). I'll be missing them, too!

This drama is largely adapted from THIS:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classic_of_Mountains_and_Seas

So the paralels, where they exist, if anywhere, are to be expected.

...And totally friendzoned ZYC, LOL.

We are all being primates together, LOL, humans, (great) apes and monkeys, lemurs, etc. But yes, great apes don't have tails. I guess ZY is protesting because of the tail part LOL.

She grew another flute wood, though, this is a different token from the previous one. And since it moves to another vessel so (seemingly) easy, then the power itself shouldn't be completely linked to the flute itself.

There has to be some other and maybe more dangerous link...

I just hope it doesn't transform into another reason for Zhu Yan to die - maybe like him dying would give the Goddess powers back completely or something. Now that ZYC doesn't want to do it any more, maybe a danger to Wen Xiao would still make ZY do it himself.

Li Lun on the outside: HEY!!!! I take that personally!! :D

Yeah, don't jump to conclusions just yet... :D

Though they are more in love than any straight pairing in any dramas I've seen LOL.

I don't want that scene to be the future ZYC saw... I don't want ZY's choice to be YingLong's choice either.

DO NOT KILL HIM DRAMA, DO YOU HEAR ME??

.... But my hopes for a HEA are dwindling again :(

PS Not ZY going all mouthy on the great (99%)dead dragon, LOL, what with the teasing about who's bloodline is the most voluble, hahaha~, after ZYC had said he didn't use to be so wordy, it must've come from being possessed by BingYi, LOL. Zhu Yan's always trying to downplay the most serious discussions just to make ZYC a little bit more happy in the moment. That's true love :D

Things we've learned from this episode: first and foremost, Zhuo YiChen can't count.

What five?!! SIX, ZYC, SIX!!! You forgot Ying Lei again. Bad demon, no bone!

But yeah. YingLong said it - they're zhiji.

ETA But that bickering part at the end... is chef's kiss. "What's in the boooooox?" "Nunya bidniss". LOL.

You came looking for a romance drama, and since it's not a romance drama then it isn't good for you and you're now just trying to find more reasons to justify this.

You don't like it (because there's not enough romance or whatever other reason), there are way more others where people do the kissy thing everyday. Why bother with this one when it doesn't meet your expectations?

Yes, that's what I tell myself in order to cope with it, too.

He'd bring a torch and start defrosting. By now... both of them, too :D (a few eps back it would have been only Zhu Yan.)

IS THAT FREAKING YINGLONG?!!!! Because of that new HMH outfit and the totally different attitude - that has to be Yinglong!!

ZYC to ZY: I understand you now. I don't want to kill you.
ZY to ZYC: If I live and you die, everybody will be thrown into chaos. But if you live and I die, everybody will live happily.
ZYC to ZY: Promise me you won't die.
ZY to ZYC: My life is in your hands. But I won't seek death anymore.

Then the second ZYC is self-sacrificing, ZY is RIGHT THERE NEXT TO HIM. The F!!!! ZY YOU FORGET SO FAST!

But that's zhiji material right there. These guys... I can't with them anymore.

PS If Li Lun hurt Ying Lei, I'm going to smack him through the screen.

PPS Zhu Yan going: BREAK!! just because he wants to was the peak moment of the episode, though. Followed very closely by ZYC's request that he doesn't die.

PPPS I love that repairing the Kunlun Gate became almost an afterthought. We've got more important things to do than that thing we did a few eps back when we (the watchers) foolishly thought that would be the top level of the pain.
