they know what they want to do & i like what they’re doing

captain marvelous is growing on me. I’m understanding him as he is & not who i perceived him to me. he’s a reserved character with a lot of charm & the sholw works with that extremely well ，we can understand him while allowing him to keep his mystique. i thing this was a good episode for doc too. i like not having everything explained to us. right now what’s relevant is that he has a weak★ness & we fcous on overcoming that. i like this ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ the group is split into two & it was all killer no filler. marvelous & doc were running through multiple trials to prove their strength & characvter while the rest had a great fighting sequence. i have not seen a majority of the sentai they transformed into however the one thing i have to praise them for is they were all IMMEDIATELY recognizable as who transformed into what. the suit actors did such a great job in communicating personality. i would also like to mention because outfits are modified by gender the girls get skirts or dresses. i still thgink a majority of the sentai skirts are fugly & frumpy. but this is besides the point ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ i haven’t gotten to magiranger yet but i think kai is an amazing pull for doc. i liked it a lot because i believe they went through similar things to transform. this was really grewat. it was an extremely focused episode with zero dead±space.

I've been more than vocal about how I…

I've been more than vocal about how I don't support Ja Yeon and the president being in a relationship and to be honest even if he resolves Hae Yeong keeping her job and Ji Uk staying in Korea, and him helping Ja Yeon when her dad shows back up (which I already know they're setting up) by the end of the series, I still can't bring myself to support their relationship because it should've never gotten to this point. Even tho I know his parents are a big part of the blame, he caused a lot of damage himself. I still can't get over him telling Hae Yeong she doesn't have the right to interfere with his and Ja yeon's relationship BUT WTF DO YOU THINK YOUR'E DOING WITH HER AND JI UK??????? Not only is he getting in the way of their relationship but also their livelihood. He literally has been a burden on every character in this series so far except for Hui Seong (she's just been self sabotaging herself tbh) Finally the ending scene imo just bad writing for the sake of conflict. highly unnecessary, but hey cant be a drama if we don't throw in problems where there shouldn't be any I guess.

Rollercoaster of Emotions

God, what an episode!I went through a rollercoaster of emotions while watching it.First of all, I'm very, very happy that Fu Rou discovered Chu Mo's lies in just three episodes, because I wouldn't have been able to forgive him if it had happened halfway through or more of the plot (as happens in many series). But I feel very sorry for him, even knowing he's wrong, probably because I understand he did it out of stupidity, not malice.I was sad to watching and knowing that Chu Mo's attempt to fix things would likely backfire, and rightfully so. My biggest hope for the next episodes is that they manage to talk and understand each other, because during the short period in which they reconciled, I was very happy T-T.Side note: I'm loving the slow burn of the relationship between Du Ning and Fu Yin, I hope it develops further throughout the episodes.Side note 2: I hated Chu Mo's reaction when Fu Rou slapped him, because in that situation, how can you use your position to defend yourself? And how can you not deduce that something you did caused that reaction? My boy is stupid sometimes I swear.

I don't think it was a bad episode, but…

I don't think it was a bad episode, but it was an infuriating one. First off i'm glad Hae Yeong actually stayed and supported Ji Uk instead of blaming him for why she could get fired since dramas have a terrible habit of miscommunication and misguided blame. Outside the main protagonists all these other relationships are honestly annoying me. first off the president is a real POS. Ja Yeon and his secretary had feelings for each other long before he came into the picture but now because of the president there's an massive wedge between them because YOU told him to make hate comments which he only did because he was tired of working for YOU, and now the president has the nerve to have feelings for her??? The president's character is going further into the gutter for me. The pregnant sister I do feel for her but at the same time this whole polyamorous situation and the fact that she hides everything from the people tryna be there for her is making me take the stance "your'e making your bed so lie in it" odd are I'm assuming the child is the producers since there only 3 Eps left and they haven't even shown who the other guy is. I'm getting a damn headache

Things are happening fast

There are a lot of plot threads all moving fast right now. No dull moments in the show. I'm. not sure I understand Xue Ning's school-girl crush over Zhang Zhe. I guess her feelings for him must stem from her experience in her former life? At any rate, the subsequent conversation that follows between her and Xie Wei is very interesting. Xie challenges her about her feelings for both Zheng Zhe and Yan Lin and quickly accuses her of liking Zhe. He aggressively taunts and threatens her over the foolishness of revealing who she likes to anyone because it will quickly become a weakness that others can target. He tells her to bury her affections deep inside where no one can see them. The interesting undertone of this conversation which is delivered in a very angry, aggressive manner by XW, is that he is clearly taking his own advice and hiding his own secret desires and affection for her. His aggressive tone is a mixture of angry concern that she is exposing herself to harm and also a strong hint of jealousy. But his words are delivering a valuable lesson that she needs to take to heart.

Question of the day — Who will get to control General Chu Ling's 200 000-men army?

Could Madam Ge be Chu Zhao’s mother? I am about 99% sure she is. There were so many hints, and when she said that line, “your mother loves you too”, it completely sold the theory for me. I loved how Chu Zhao got that new guy, Liang Qiang, all confused about how she knows him and why she knows so much, and later to find out that she’s actually General Ling’s daughter, not to mention the Grand Princess! Yeah, that was pretty funny. And, oh, what an emotional moment it was when Chu Zhao met Zhong Changrong... that scene made my eyes water—they enhanced her last memory of him dying by playing with those colours again. And he didn't even know how much meeting him alive meant to Chu Zhao.Also, that political war over who will get to control General Chu Ling’s 200,000-man army? Yanfang intercepting Deng Yi’s written edict and ruining the plan to incorporate another general—probably one loyal to Xiao Xun—was smart. I think Yanfang was pretty satisfied that A'Yu would give that army to Yanlai if General Chu Ling died, because in that case, he assumes he might have some control over it himself, considering his supposed hold over Yanlai. We’ll see about that, though!I can't get enough of watching Deng Yi and Xie Yanfang exchanging their "pleasantries". It's always a delight!

& then there was one bed ，& a tazer

i think shu had the best performance this episode. he’s a very comforting man but that’s exactly what miko doesn’t need. he says things you want to hear not things you need to hear. ren is thorny but he’s actively challenging miko to actually want something & unfortunately it’s not shu. that’s why shu isn’t good enough & is literally being tortured by the writers HORRIFICALLY ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ i do like the main plot of this episode ，the whole ’ ’ you’re not singing from your heart ！’ ’ is trite but it has merits here where all of these characters feel things yet don’t understand it just yet & now miko’s being forced to say something through this song. speaking of understanding ，it’s really romatnic. i didn’t get miko’s character but ren does. he understands these quirks about her & says the things ，like i said ，that she needs to hear。 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ & NOW YUUKI’s IN THE RACE YAAYYYYY. he developed really well. he was the silly boy that broke the tension in thosw show but ren & miko have gone this far. everypony else has progressed a considerable time & now is probably the rockiest part of their career+life & it’s time for the happiest go+lucky side of this show to throw in the towel this was a really well written episode. we get the silly tropes here & there but i really am buying the romance now ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ i think i want to see ren truly show how he’s different. from his competitors in this show & in the genre as a whole. i think i want shu & yuuki be the ones to show more sides of miko. i think thosew two are great characters to help expand her ，i am actually really appreciative of this episode i thought it was pretty sincere. i was just now pondering this but no i do agree with how they used this date. they have already learned enough about each other for now its good to see them now just bond with each other. show us what they’ve learned

Anxious for more!

This is the first training arc for our boy, Chu Mu! I love how the story is developing so far, the pacing is great, with problems being introduced and resolved at just the right time.The only thing that worries me a little is that Fu Rou is apparently falling in love with this false persona that Chu Mu is creating, and not with who he really is, and this lie is too big to sustain (and a relationship based on a lie like that can never be healthy), so I fear that she will eventually find out and be even more hurt.On a positive note, it seems that Chu Mu is taking his future more seriously and (perhaps) his feelings for Fu Rou, but this remains to be seen.Three details I really liked in this episode were: the conflict between the second lady and Fu Rou being resolved in a very amicable way, without either party committing any truly malicious acts, just some minor disagreements, which I find more realistic and pleasant; Fu Tao's attitude towards Chu Mu, who proved to be much more friendly and understanding of his advances towards his sister; and finally, I'm really invested in the difficulties faced by Lady Cheng and her husband in caring for Chu Mu.
