These powerpoints are really "lightpoints" haha

Thank you. I couldn't figure it out for the longest time.

It's his problem because he took over the responsibility of managing it. Though the problem was not caused by him, it's his to bear once he gets the management. He has to take the good and the ugly. It's common among Chinese dramas -where the successor is not liked (in the case the Eldest Princess hates FX), they leave the problem to the successor and wipe their hands clean.

I like how FX genuinely asked, how can she knew my surname be Fan before I was born?

Duo Duo makes a good best friend.

Maybe because this version of Ye Ling Er makes her look too rash, a bit naïve and a bit slow on the intellectual side. She's suppose to give off a vibe from a wealthy/noble family but this actress seems to give off an ordinary vibe of a best friend to FL and they used to have more scenes together. So far, they barely do in this season.

Trailer for ep 16 reminds me of Love Like the Galaxy: the part where FL made a pair of mandarin ducks and the ML mistook it for a different animal :)

Omg they were amazing in Sword Snow Stride but less screentime together- basically bare minimum. They work well together as enemies and gotta hand it to the actor who plays 2nd prince- you just can't hate him.

It's like they are doing tango. For a villain, I really like 2nd prince

You start noticing that the 2nd prince can't seem to sit still. He's always shifting, moving and eating something in his scenes.

Probably terrified that Fan Xian 'appeared' to have lost it if he did poison 2nd prince

I actually think Fan Xian was deliberately messing with his psyche after he killed an innocent girl to prove a point. He was being unpredictable and there really isn't anything that Fan Xian doesn't dare to do as oppose to whether he would do it. Fan Xian scares the s**ts out of him because he can't quite seem to get 100%. At times he does and then others he doesn't and he actually gets thrills from it.
I thoroughly enjoy the scenes with Fan Xian and 2nd prince- never boring, always intriguing and really unpredictable. At this point, Fan Xian has had more screen time with 2nd prince than anyone else.

I like this version of YBY

I love how he specifically positions himself ready to speak and when he is done, he shifts away like 'behind the stage' and the silence of others knowing who was expected to speak as opposed to a spitting match. We can process so much better.

And even then, he still abides by his own moral code - he wouldn't take part of the brides and he continued to live modestly. What he learned was that his spear headed way of going against corruption didn't work. Similar to Fan Xian's spear headed way of trying to expose the 2nd prince and the princess got him nowhere until he was re-directed.

Weekend is only 1 episode a day...it's a slow burn

I don't trust the Crown Prince. In ways, he's worst than the 2nd prince. He's pretending to be an ally for FX but really, he's just using FX to take down the 2nd prince. At least 2nd prince keeps his word so he has that integrity. But for the Crown Prince who basically says one thing, and then he turns around to do the opposite, he has no integrity.

I can only assume it's someone he cannot have romantic feelings for. Either someone who is already married or betrothed.

First Prince

OMG he was so shameless as Gu Yan Zhen in Arsenal Military Academy. He does do well in comedic roles
