I so hope so. Giving us a glimmer of hope.

Omg I try not to. I have gone back to certain scenes too much. I'm now watching selected previous works of Steven Zhang to get me through. He's just a fun loving young man. Extremely talented. No role is the same as others. I can see the new challenging role of Pei Su for him. (have to talk significantly less).

I'm still on Starry Love but fallen behind. I tried an episode of Chongzi and I was meh about it. I've put it on hold while watching Starry Love. I am about to start Warm on a Cold Night but liking the short clips so far.

I never seen Bi Wenjun before but I am open to watching him as I saw some clips and he appeared good with LYT.

Liu Yu Ning is on a roll. That's like what 3 opening/ending song drama of the year (Cong Zi, Starry Love)

I think it's decent budget but if this is considered low budget (and make good fight scenes) then I think Wulin Heroes is on a zero budget with it's fight scenes.

There is so much metaphors and hints here and there. I have to re-watch the episode more than once cuz things are lost at first glance. I like this type of drama. Gets us thinking.

I really hope not.

I wonder if they did that because it was specifically to stroke the ego of the murderer as a way to interrogate him. I can't see that being used for other suspects. They didn't use it for Zhang Donglan.

I never read Lolita so I am unfamiliar with the entire story. I did had to look it up as I was curious as to why PS was reading it.

The mutual burning of each other between PS and LWZ is hilarious. One of my faves was from the car chase scene and LWZ is concerned with having to reimburse for the damages to PS' car and asks PS directly. The side glare of annoyance at that given moment from PS said it all. I look forward to more and more of their interactions together as they solve crimes.

I am amazed at how closely it follows the novel. I haven't read the novel but went back to certain scenes to check if the way it was portrayed was how it was written in the novel. Indeed, it has been the case. Even the dialogue, as long as it's not directly BL, it remains decently faithful. I hope that it continues to follow through. So far, 8 episodes has covered up to 3/4 of book 2.

I hope Winner is King will be airing. I love Tan Jian Ci

equality! lol

It's painful to wait and just only 5 episodes a week and then the last 2 in the following week. But yes, at least it aired.

I couldn't figure out what name he gave to the cat but that is hilarious! I'm the same. I saw a few pics from earlier episodes and was thinking (PS) that guy has a weird hairstyle and I'm not sure if I would like it but heck, gave it a try. Hooked.

I hate to see actors suffer for building a certain physique for a role. Some roles do require it but really, I don't think it was necessary for the character of PS to look even less weight below good health.

Yes I get there was some editing done. We start with them in the doc's room and LWZ is trying his best not to laugh (this is before any comment about bones, fragility, lifestyle). PS then looks at him like "are you done yet?" That's where I thought it was odd. The "crunchy" comment, omg, I laughed with LWZ largely because you barely see LWZ smile at all cuz he's so serious all the time or he makes terrible humor. Maybe it is a tattoo. I couldn't tell as it was half hidden and couldn't make out what it was. There was just something there and PS was self-conscious about it that he covered up.

Someone mentioned that Zhang Xin Cheng lost a lot of weight for this role. I am assuming it's meant to fit his character as someone who is not fit/delicate physique. He even moves with grace. I've looked at The Justice, one of his last most recent role and yes, definitely see the weight loss there. I guess I have to watch The Justice to wait painfully for new episodes. A week is very long in cdrama land.

I love this episode for many reasons. First, those glances, smiles and stares literally is chef's kiss. I notice earlier on that Pei Su's top was opened and LWZ saw what appears to be a scar/old injury. Is that in the novel? Can someone spoil me on how he got that? And the subtle bickering in the car (younglings vs old man), I laughed. But my favorite has to be at the hospital. I don't get why LWZ was laughing at PS for his dislocated shoulder after a car accident. It's not like he did something stupid from being drunk or silly. That part doesn't make sense to me. He obviously knew he was in a car accident so the giggling and laughing doesn't match with the scene.

PS is indeed complex character. Zhang Xin Cheng does an excellent job portraying his subtle glances, smiles and his tone. To me, he seems to be misunderstood by LWZ as someone with zero empathy (and supposedly more prone to criminality) and PS plays into that. He claims he is by acting indifferent, unable to show emotions when it's clear he's a deeply empathetic person. For some reason, it's easier for him to have others believe that he has zero empathy than to let people know that he does have it. He's highly perceptive which makes him an excellent crime fighting partner for LWZ.
