Finally, we're getting some more insights into the political aspect of the drama. We're getting some more info about the LI. They are colluding with the QI Min/Lord ChangXi. Does this mean they're good or bad? Are they trying to right the wrong? Hmmmm....🤔

The pager!!!!! LOL. 😁

Zhou Cheng is such a green flag. I'm not familiar with the actor but I'm glad he's cast for the role. He just looks so calm, sincere, and honest; perfect as ZHou Cheng.

I hope her mom can find happiness and it seems like Mayor Tang may be interested in her, especially if he knows she's single.

Domestic violence is real as shown by the Marquis's bruised face ...TWICE. 🤪

I think no one escaped the allure of Kaneshiro...now...then...old...young...male..female...we all yield to him. 😁. Which is why when the Marquis mocked GongSun, it was extra hilarious because the image of Kaneshiro as Zhuge Liang is simply tooo overpowering and vivid.

He's frustrated. He never felt like this before for a girl. 😁 I could understand his misstep.

He did do a great job giving close-ups of those yummy features. 🥰

This year "BEST DIRECTOR for DRAMA" goes to....Zheng Qing Jie!!!

I think so too. ZLH has a lot of profile shots because of his silhouette vs. TXW was more frontal because of her big eyes.

I don't know if it's intentional, but I love it that the director chose to shoot ZLH's face from the side with his beauty mark on the nose bridge. 🥰

I know...the increased volume and speed of chanting when he saw GongSun coughed up supposedly blood...I can still hear and see it...LOL

"Om mani padme hum ...om mani padme hum..."

I spat my tea out...from laughing. I can't anymore...this episode still has so much comedy in it. 🤪

LOL.. .The Marquis reprimanded GongSun for not wearing armor and pretending to imitate Zhuge Liang!! I was already thinking that GOngSun's styling was probably inspired by Zhuge Liang, down to his fan. But to have The Marquis mock him is totally hilarious!🤪 Yes, no one beats Kaneshiro Takeshi's as Zhuge Liang in the Red Cliff. 🥰

HAHAHAHAHA.....I Laughed so loud when Changyu slapped the Marquis in 27!!!! I knew it was happening, but not the exact moment! Well Done, ChangYu , well done! 😁 🤪

Sigh....he still said hurtful things that she doesn't want to hear like "go find a scholar and get married to him." Our poor CHangYu is injured indeed...HEART injury , that is. 😥

Awwww...the first thing he said other than I can explain was "are you injured?" 🥰

She liked him the first time they exchanged words. He developed feelings for her every time she said she'll butcher pigs to support him. Each time she said it, he simply fell deeper; and she said it many times. =)

I love how the FL stood up to everyone ESPECIALLY directly facing off with her jealous cousin on the rooftop. She's so courageous and brave.

I'm very happy that she's empowering her mom and encouraging her to live her life and be strong.

Well, let it be known that my perception in regard to this matter is the same as yours. 😁. And I like your judgement call. Back to popping large batch popcorn for tomorrow BIG SHOWDOWN.
