Absolute Value of Romance Episode 1

estar cute 1st ep, at 1st when i saw the MC's haircut i was genuinely baffled as to why, but either i have gotten used to it by now or it has grown on me, cause now i think it fitting her quirky personality. was planning to wait until this got completed but couldn't wait & enjoyed this 1st ep. ***********************************************************************************************************even though her little brother is a little sh*t, some how that it the typical sibling dynamic when there is an age gap & they r different sexes. not that if he was a little sister he wouldn't/couldn't be as diabolical. but this seemed fitting & somehow endearing in a funny way.

Smoke Blue no Ame Nochi Hare Episode 4

i must admit i don't get what went down between the brothers, or rather i didn't understand what exactly they agreed too. still have a feeling that Kuji just allowed his older brother to do what he wants & he went along with it. even if he didn't hear the conversation between the brother & his wife & felt guilty. his personality is so nonconfrontational i think he would go along to get along just not to make waves. & it bothered me as he has been in that house alone since their fathers passing & every nook & cranny has memories & the life he shared with his father in that place. so i hope he isn't being taken advantage off. not that i think we will get more on that whole subject. time will tell - but love Azuma he is such a mood & just being with him is such a positive vibe. like that slowly Kuji is not just getting used to his presence in his life he is opening up to him.

This episode continues with the same, "let's keep it moving forward" pace of plot advancement that kicked in during episode 27. This episode sets aside FL's mom for a moment and focuses more on a couple of the 'other' moms in the drama: Mao Mao and ironically Zhang Pei Sheng (who may be the worst mom in the whole show, but she is a mom). Side- mentions to all the moms in the the day-school and the teacher, of course. Along the way, we finally reach a reckoning point with that snarky concierge, Liao Gang. After giving him chance after chance, Mai Chenghuan finally has to dismiss him. Yay!!! And on the Yueda front, Zhiming pulls an ace out of his back pocket to trump card Zhang Pei Sheng's attempts to undermine him,

This episode fairly quickly shook off all the weird, time-wasting trope junk that filled the last episode and resumed with moving the plot forward. In particular, the romance between FL & ML finally starts to really get going.

A Female Student Arrives at the Imperial College Episode 22

MatchaGrnTLatte Oh this poor girl. Zhuo tells her something nice once, and now she's likes him, and reminisces about all the times they interacted like they meant something. Someone save this delusional girl lolll. Also love the cliché scene where it's like some randos talking crap loud as hell about the MC's. Ugh LOVE that Sang Qi is a pro but I hate that women always have to prove themselves >:( Ummm okay the whole birthday prank thing was a little weird and made me a bit sad lol but i guess he does like being goofy too much sometimes 🤪😓💔 and it's a crime-- OMGGGG WHAT is going on?!??!?! Yan Yan super angry, getting arrested!!! and stupid Song comes around talking shit to Lian Pian like WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS?!?!?!? Things are getting serious now, I was so used to the cutesy happy stuff I forgot real crimes are being committed. Omg sorry but I laughed when Lian Pian started yelling at Official Yan. AYOOOOO the ending of this episode took a HUGE TURN!!!! The acting is INSANELY GOOD, I loved Sang Qi acting as the prisoner, and Deputy is terrifying and cunty?????? Ugh I love how hot the ML is. Great episode, it really could've been nominated for an Oscar.

Girl from Nowhere the Reset Episode 6
0 people found this review helpful
What a terrible episode! Out of nowhere, Nanno starts testing people’s character without any initial reason? That makes no sense at all compared to what we already know about the universe. Plus, she’s judging the episode’s main character for something he might do in the future (but hasn’t done yet)?? I thought the episode was weird, very different from what we’re used to seeing from Nanno. Not to mention Sky’s character, who shows up just to die at the end for no reason at all!!!The series as a whole almost gets there, with some really good episodes, but the latest one is terrible...Still hope to see a second season becoming true

Watching the first episode and it's like what?! What an interesting choice of pacing. They tried to move fast but there is so much to unpack/lay the foundation with, so this first episode ended up being quite weak as an introduction, despite very emotional scenes....[spoiler alert/complaints]- There are a number of information that are not adding up. Maybe these would be cleared up in the future. But for now, it provided confusion to the audience.- Lynx finally found out about the reason his grandpa and his mom stopped talking/contacting each other. The reason was quite impactful and we did not really get to see Lynx's real-time reaction to that revelation. As an audience, I do not understand why Lynx's emotion at that moment was ignored just like that. And we could/would learn more about Lynx through this as well. We could have had a better emotional connection with Lynx if the pace was different...- There is no way that Tiger is allergic to cats.

Ha ha! Tiny, subtle, best part of this was near the beginning, when pathetic Li Haui'An runs up to talk to Changyu, so she sends her squad forward to wait for her. Watch the expressions of the Pig Slaughter Squad members as the stare disdainfully at Li! They are SO protective of their Captain and Li Haui'An just doesn't measure up. Love how she then promptly puts him firmly in the 'brother' zone. We later find out that he's not deserving of even that honor. But Xie Zheng shows that he's able to sniff out rats.

Everyone need to watch this, this is seriously another level of outstanding acting by PerthSanta, Sammy, Kay and all the other casts.This episode was so well thought that the production team even included a warning notice about the mental health issue and to watch it with anyone. First ever BL series that put so much care into health issues.Episode 7 is so amazing, knowing the truth and able to handle it with the support of people who stayed and love Solar. This is a heartbreaking yet heartwarming episode. Just got to watch it to find out the story ourselves and how healing takes time.

Changyu full of doubts and insecurities at figuring out that her father was the "Infamous Traitor" Wei Qilin. This leads her to impose some very cold distance between herself and Xi Zheng (because she feels he probably hates the man who is blamed for the death of his father). This is obviously a tired drama trope to once again separate our lovers so they can go through the journey to come back together. Sigh .... the one flaw in this whole series is just how much the writers have leaned into such obvious tropes, dragging them out for episode after episode. Otherwise, this show is awesome in every other aspect. More on this episode: Li Huai'An is really and truly cementing himself on the, "pathetic and annoying" side of the fence. What a big baby he is and I'm so glad Changyu puts him at arm's length firmly in the 'friend zone'. Xie Zheng is dead on right about him being a pawn. And I love how the Pig-Slaughter Squad has sized him up immediately. Here 'brothers' are there for her.So glad the writers allowed Yu QIan Qian to make back to reunite with Bao and Ning. I've been certain that she would get way-laid and recaptured by psycho-boy on the way back. Of course, we know that he will somehow show up to terrorize her again at some point.

nafisa SO BASICALLY YIRANG HID THE FACT THAT WHEN HER HUSBAND, YIAN’S BROTHER, WANTED TO ABDICATED THE THRONE, HE WANTED YIAN TO BE THE HEIR TO THE THRONE ONLY FOR HIS BROTHER TO DIE FROM THE FIRE. But since yirang can’t let this get out she lets Huiju and yian get married SINCE HE ENGAGED DURING THE SECOND PART OF THE INNER BANQUET AFTER HUIJU AND YIAN HAD THEIR OWN WLATZ DANCE IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY, so she could use Huiju as yian’s weakness, and so she invites Huiju and yian to dinner to celebrate their proposal only to fail at getting Huiju drunk, and YIRANG EVEN HAS THE AUDACITY TO SAY THAT YIAN’S LATE FATHER WOULDN’T APPROVE THEIR RELATIONSHIP AND ACCUSES HIM OF KILLING HIS BROTHER SINCE HE EANTED THE THRONE LIKE WHAT IS THE BITCH WAFFLING ON ABOUT. AFTERWARDS to make yian feel better, Huiju takes him in her yacht and as they’re enjoying it, BTW THE PRODUCERS RECREATE THE ICONIC TITANIC SCENE, Huiju trips and yian catches her and then yian is on top of her and he reminds her that she let HIM due whatever he wants SO HE KISSES HER AND SHE KISSES HIM BACK AND THEY GO IN FOR A DEEEEP KISS. YAYAYAY AND CAN I JUST SAY IM STARTING TO BECOME A JEONGU HATER LIKE I GET YOU LIKED HER, PERHAPS LOVED HER, BUT THERE’S NO NEED TO STAY SO ATTACHED, LIKE DEEP DOWN EVEN HE KNOWS THEIR LOVE IS BECOMING SINCERE even if the marriage itself is a contractual marriage, AND AS YIAN AND HUIJU ARE OFF HAVING THEIR KISS IN THE YACHT, HYEON AND MS DO ARE WAITING FOR HUIJU AND YIAN AND YOU CAN START TO TELL HE’S STARTING TO FORM A CRUSH ON MS DO, SINCE HE EVEN ASKS MS DO WHAT HER TYPE ISSS.

Man, the scene with Changyu's father's "ghost" adding strength to her over her shoulder in battle - that was sweet! This episode was loaded with action and mostly very satisfying.

IrenaK I loved how Su Zhe completely changed after finding out Bai He Huai is his daughter. I didn't even know I needed that relationship in the show! Su Zhe is actually so funny, and he’s totally fine with her calling him a "scummy father", lol! 😂We already saw that guy from the Xie family killing his own family member, and after he exchanged those secret lines with Su Cheng He, it’s very clear he’s in an alliance with him. I suspect the poison girl and the coin guy from the Mu family will eventually end up in an alliance with Su Muyu as well. It’s so interesting to see how all the alliances will unfold! They are already there, only I just don’t know all of them yet. 😏Overall, this episode was amazing! It wasn’t as much about the fights for me as it was about the relationships. And that last scene, with all of the Zodiacs kneeling before Su Muyu, gave me goosebumps! 🔥👏😌

nero truong THIS REALLY IS MY SHOW MY GOD . . .. this is a rewatching because i reccommended it to my freind & immediately got the urge to come back i enjoyed it that much the first time. goes to show how well they paced these episodes. a couple episodes ago i could not stand when we cut to yanxi doing fuck+all investigating but i am fully emersed in everything this show has to offer. it does help that he is now intwined with hua zhi & they are having really beautiful moments with each other. every domino was set up so well & it really felt so rewarding watching this again & admiring how yu’er’s pregnancy cravings set up the domino of turning the haw fruit they discovered on a secret trip they were advised not to go on at the beginning of this catastrophe & turning it to honey marbles like . . . I LOVE THIS SHOW . . . I REALLY DO . . . when you give it the time you will be rewarded. I AM LITERALLY ITCHING TO START THE NEXT EPISODE ENDING THIS HERE.
