The makeover

I always appreciate makeover scenes. It's cliche, but fun. Still, the clothes are basic. They are somewhat showy for professional setting even. But I get that it shows Li Fei's preference. Nevertheless, in a world, where they are more playful with looks. I'm sure either choices by Qian Fei would absolutely work. What I love about this part are: the fun and comfort they have with each other; their communication and reaffirmation; and how good Wang Chu Ran looks in that outfit. (Admittedly, she is very slim. But it's not common to see such an hourglass figure that is also rosy and bursting with life.) FeiFei light up the screen whenever they are together. ----- I also like how they actually address the aftermath of the scene they cause in the previous episode. More so, they utilise and further develop the characters and storyline of Dang Yu and Da Jun. They finally show some potentials, not in an annoyed or creepy way, but earnestly.

the eps r so freakin short, it doesn't…

the eps r so freakin short, it doesn't start it's already over. maybe that's why any misunderstanding that pop's up is solved in a flash - this good but also it feels rushed as if this gonna get over in a blink. which isn't wrong when one is binge watching this ugh ***********************************************************************************************************************************side note: i really like the fact that until now Shi Xian hasn't told Teng Mo why he needs money - i.e about his sick sister. that feels more natural & i like how even though this is pretty fast paced there is also a naturalness to how the romance is developing. makes me like Shi Xian all the more...

lacks cohesion, story line flawed

with amazing characters, great visuals - the storyline is so disjointed and fails to suspend my disbelief. 4 minutes on a boat, throw in a few new dukes and then kill them off with some new villain sons. the new characters are undeveloped, yet immediately extreme. and now in minhai, they suddenly stay in the mansion of their enemy- who brings them a cat. it doesn't result in a world that feels real. it feels like contrived tension and false drama. and now Yi is hiding behind a fever? and a stupid hairpin, the first we've heard of it, has a deep meaning? still dressed as a boy, the two are now secretly steaming in love? where was the development of this expressive, melodramatic passion? i'd rather see them playfully prank each other until finally admitting love in the midst of a violent crisis. not hairpins and fevers. and if Yi will claim brink of death, then we need to SEE that. pale face covered in sweat, passed out in bed, lifeless and unresponsive... not winking at each other over a tea pot. moreover, they need to have her stop saving him. the role reversal is very off putting. i am glad she is resourceful and respected, but we dont need her to be a man. she needs to retain more feminine qualities. sure, i enjoy the series still, but it is rapidly falling lower on my own emotional scale.

the circling each other is kinda cute... baby…

the circling each other is kinda cute... baby steps r needed after the incident in the previous ep IMO. regarding the new "bad guy", his "sugar baby" is a moron, u were on ur knees begging & lying cause u know exactly who Guan Zhenghao is & yet u then talk sh*t when he orders his men to toss u out? cause getting buried is a better option - huh??? what the actual f*ck is going on in that Chris's mind idk but he dug his own grave with his own mouth - genius. but now why Guan Zhenghao coming after Wu Shi Xian?!? as he himself noticed & pointed out Chris did all the flirting & wooing - while Wu Shi Xian just ignored him. guess he wants to see for himself how big of a player Wu Shi Xian is. *************************************************************************also for a coward Teng Mo sure rush head-long into danger just so Wu Shi Xian wouldn't get hurt - that was sweet
