What a performance by Bai Lu

Bai Lu's performance as Ye Li in this episode was amazing. She does such a great job of channeling a teenage girl going through this horrible, horrible trauma. It's heartbreaking to watch yet mesmerizing as well.

So very sweet

The show is absolutely adorable. It’s a standard trope of the popular kid choosing the outcast kid. But the whole group takes him as one of their own, and it’s not just about budding love. They give him a place to accept himself as he is and to develop his own confidence. I love episode 3 where they all come to his defense as former friends are harassing him. Shirizawa comes to stand beside him, the others stand behind them. Then when it becomes more escalated, they all step forward. I rewatched 3 times when the friends very gently moved to stand in front of him. It’s a simple thing, yet very profound. A hand on the shoulder, a nod- letting him know they’re there for him before directly addressing the others. Yes, they’re typical high school boys. Teasing each other, rough housing, being a bit clueless, etc. But their support for and protectiveness of each other is absolute. As Suzuki states, it’s a very gentle world as opposed to the cruel and lonely one that he’s used to. Japanese bl is definitely in a class of its own.

Loyalty should go both ways...

Damn, that Emperor! He was the one who gave those lands, identity, and everything to Zhao Ling, and he knew he was a salt smuggler! And he did nothing? Said nothing? How can that be called deceiving the throne!? Loyalty should go both ways... 😠😞And Mr Jin, you fool... Another greedy victim of Lord Yu's schemes. 😒 At least Sen wasn't accused, but this doesn't change what Mr Jin did. To be fair, I thought Lord Yu would have him killed to silence him in case something went sour. And I am happy Sen didn't kill him. That would have been too much for his pure soul. 😟And Madam Wan with the upper Northwest ladies coming to Tingyun's aid... That moment was so touching. They are not gone; they still stand with their "sister". 🥹

Finally have a full picture of the disaster

that befell the Li Shan Academy. We now know how they died. The next things to learn is how she lived and coped and finally, hopefully we can move on to some sort of healing for her. Jeezus this was emotional and sad.

Shifting relationships and choosing themselves

She chose to stay! I am so grateful, because a divorce would be the worst possible solution when they have already given up so much for that status and wealth... 🥹But I want to praise Yake in this episode. She finally made a decision for herself, and a right one at that. Away from those vipers who ruin everything they touch. Her decision will be the first stain on the Yu family's polished reputation, and I can't wait for the dominoes to start tumbling until they are in utter ruin. 👏And her help to Tingyun? Well, I will consider this as her redemption for her past mistakes. Though, I didn't expect she would be the one to tell Tingyun how her mother died.. But she knows now. And I can sigh in relief — that secret was heavy on Ling and their relationship. 😌😮‍💨

This is getting heavy

This episode was so sad.... 😭💔 And Zhao Ling vomiting after executing General Mo — the lengths he has to go to and the things he must do to remain in the Emperor's favour... 😟 I really want them to get out of the political game and return to Ganlin Town... But even that would not be the same anymore with the Northwest feeling betrayed by Zhao Ling and Tingyun.His heart is with his roots and he's struggling so much to remain loyal to the Emperor, but I want him to talk about that with Tingyun — he's trying to shoulder most of those burdens alone, and that really isn't doing anyone any favours. 😔

His Majesty is smart.

Ding Yuxi is a brilliant actor, that expression change with the scroll will be noted down. Minister Yu gave some good advice to Zhao Ling in this episode, that is unfortunately what power means. Ting Yun's fear of turning into Mrs. Yu was valid, because I don't thing she started off as a bad person, but the circumstances turned her into one.

Intense feelings

At first, I was just watching this drama on a whim because the cover looked so refreshing, and the more I watched, the more my heart raced!>_< I really love Khony’s visuals and acting… he looks fresh and commanding! He’s exactly the kind of CEO I’ve always imagined!>_<

Zhao Ling is getting a bit annoying again...

The father needed to suffer more! He definitely got the easy way out. How could he kill his own wife... but then again, he had no respect for his own mother. Poor Quanhui dealing with the death of the mother, at least she got to see her in her dream. Also, Zhao Ling with facial hair was unexpected but appreciated. BUT why is Zhao Ling going back to his old ways???? Talk to Ting Yun and figure it out.

i will never get over the trope in these drama's…

i will never get over the trope in these drama's (regardless of the country) where a really good looking actor/character is treated like an ugly-troll that lives under a bridge. yeah Saeki is good looking, but IMO Wataru is wayyyy better looking - like by a lot. i wouldn't notice Saeki in a room, but i wouldn't be able to take my eyes off Wataru - just sayin - like make it believable, or change the dialogue to fit reality. *************************************************************************************************now that i've gotten that off my chest, i have to address another cliché specific to J-romance-drama's... i am all for women making the 1st move & not waiting for the guy to do it. but when u make the 1st move, u can & will get rejected - u gotta ready ur heart for that. just cause u mustered up the courage, doesn't mean the guy HAS to say yes. be graceful & walk away, if a guy says he is interested in someone else & he isn't dating - maybe he is letting u down gently? & not saying "ur not my cup of tea" to ur face cause he doesn't want to insult u - why persist & get all defensive & intrusive about it?? it's like the guys that hit on a girl & when the girl turns them down, they curse at her - i see NO difference & it's equally annoying! ****************************the ep was hella short or so it felt, that it didn't start it ended & i would like more backstory to see when & why Saeki who had countless gf's suddenly noticed Wataru. yeah how they relationship progresses is also something i would enjoy to watch but 'how it started' is the part i really love. so can't wait for more
