Very interesting dynamic building between CP & Xin

By the end of this episode, the Crown Prince has saved Prince Xin's life multiple times now. And Xin's outlook on his brother is clearly affected. The guy is still a delusional psychopath and I don't believe for a second that he will ever give up his insane obsession with Xi He. But this investment by the Crown Prince in saving his brother's life hopefully will pay off somehow down the line? Meanwhile, CP is presented with yet another accusation against his father as the one who poisoned him. That's now a lot of fingers pointing at the Emperor, but .... it seems too obvious. Feels like a misdirection by the show writer. I suspect that there is still some big truth that is yet to be revealed.

When Love Makes You Question Everything

Imagine being a 38 year old guy, single, and completely convinced that you could never fall for someone like him. Then, little by little, he starts to find a way into your heart.He protects you, shields you, and when you are attacked at the bar, he puts himself in harm’s way and gets hurt trying to protect you. And despite all his fears, he finds the courage to stand in front of you and confess the feelings he has been carrying in his heart.How could you not be moved by that kind of love?Honestly, if I were in his shoes, that kind of love would make me question everything I thought I knew about myself. It could turn me from straight to gay without hesitation. Because when someone loves you that deeply, protects you that fiercely, and chooses you even when it hurts, maybe love stops being about gender and simply becomes about the person who makes your heart feel safe.That kind of love would absolutely melt me. ❤️

Another Mystery to Solve

There is a lot of setup. It looks like they tried to give the audience some humor by having some of the officers nausious at the sight of the 10 day old corpse. But the genious psychologist is supposed to be so quirky and into his methodology that he climbs all over the crime scene. It's fine but forced. However I am used to it now.6/10 - we're back to quirky mystery team setups.

Wait for Explanation

Ok. A lot of work was done in this episode.We finally get an explanation as to why the female lead, Zhuang Lan, is so quick to categorize cases as murders rather than accidents. Without revealing to much, her sister was in a car accident and there were suspicious indicators of her death prior to her actually dying.Some other shots reveal that the intro to this drama is not so random. It seems to depict key items in these cases. I appreciate this a little bit as I've recently complained that I was slightly upset by Taiwanese and Chinese drama intros because they often spoiled the plot by putting footage of the drama in the intros. Of these two worlds, I'd rather have innocuous clips from random places that seem strangely placed than clips of intense moment from the drama that reveal major upcoming plot points. So for my review for episode 1 I rescind some of my sarcasm. While the episode itself is fairly good, I do not think it was a good choice to wait until more than halfway to the drama to give us a fully fleshed out account of the main character's motivation. Not sure if this was the director or the producer's choice but I feel like it did a disservice to the drama. They implied this motivation in the first episode but it really wasn't enough for the audience to grab onto. Artistically, I think it is interesting to not drop the weight of the characters motivation on the audience right at the beginning. However, the execution makes me a little bit upset for the creators. They took a long time establishing why the audience should care.8/10 - the episode was good. But for the overall drama, some of this information should have been clearly front loaded.

Ummm

She is being reckless, and I can't digest her reasoning. Fu Zhi, the friend you are!! Her acting is so good. I already noticed some editing (and directing, too, maybe?) issues, but here it's sooo evident. It's kind of a distraction. Anyway, I am rooting for Mr Shen and Fu Zhi

Everyone is paired up

Finally Huang Bo is paired up with another woman. Now all of them has a girl they can fall madly in love that the men loses their common sense. I find this series to have all strong and opinionated women and an Enperor who likes to walk a fine line. It loses its credibility and I’m beginning to root for the bad guys, or someone to die. Please add some depth to this two-dimensional storyline and add more character to our Emperor. Or at least change the title to “the emperor and his new clothes”. I really can’t find a deep love story, why there’s a sense of obligation other than vengeance and maybe doing the right thing. Please let this end soon.

This should've stayed a bromance. Or better, a BL

I understand they're going for toxic love triangle, but dude, it makes no sense that two guy friends fall for a girl that is as interesting as a stale loaf of bread.

my heart ㅠㅠ

This was hard to watch. I was holding my breath the whole attack scene. The fact that she fought them on her own made it realistic. Also, the whole fake couple scene was funny. I have a feeling that a lot of relationships are gonna take a turn from now on (good & bad)

All the bonding we got in this episode 🤗

The honeymoon phase has finally started, with the bedbell ringing all night long... 🥰🤭However, the scenes with Huayong having brotherly moments with Changqing were the ones that really stole my heart. I loved every second of it — the banter, the teasing, even the bitter phrases. All of it was worth it! I already had some sympathy for Prince Xie, but after this... what am I supposed to do with me rooting for a villain-ish character to have a happy ending? 🥺🫣🤦‍♀️And who were the kidnappers? My guess at the moment is Prince Ding or that enemy gang — Le something. 🤨🤔

look this episode takes you for a ride. no wasted time though. they did great

this is a contendor for one of my favorite ensemble+cast writings. not for anything specific to the characters of this show but we will have these episodes where there’s a specific one we focus on but there’s always progress happening for their class+mates. it’s really cool 。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆   。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆ fukuhara was nice. she also has these earlier moments in the previous three episodes that makes learning more about her rewarding ,especially her relation_ship to her peers kitayama & momoe. i also was taken by surprise with what they had to say. ryuzaki also upset me & i felt as agitated as fukuhara was. then they delivered a revelation that genuinely caught me off±guard. it’s true unfortunately ,it’s us as people that decide what gender is competent or trust±worthy. we can’t destroy misogyny’s roots in one clean strike & we also can’t lash out at a system waiting to punish. sensei ryuzaki has earned her authority i really enjoy her. i also really enjoy how they circumvent final says in this show it’s actually really fun seeing somepony sweep in 。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆   。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆ fujigaya gets really annoying in this show fkmbkmewipoeriomf he’s so ignorant i start getting mad sometimes like ero32fewdodkmvkmlsd. he also kind’ve misses the mark of the character sometimes. he does suffer from the fact that . . . i stan him so i watch all these scenes knowing fujigaya taisuke is reading lines & trying to portray something but it is this veil of disconnect of believably selling teppei. he is funny ,he’s great at being cheeky. he’s not doing bad though ,brighter characters are a lot easier to maneuver 。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆   。・:*:・゚★,。・:*:・゚☆ kitayama is okay ,that next episode is about to be a lot i can tell it already. sometimes him & a lot characters act incredibly rash & that’s something i have to think about more how i feel. this show is pretty enjoyable. like i meant what i said earlier i really enjoy what I’ve seen so far it’s a lot more innovative & hearty then i expected it to be.

Revolution, not evolution

Though the 1932 historically was a bloodless coup, this show effectively portrays how the nobility dealt with the changes. Though bloodless, revolutions creates chaos and disruption to the norm. As governmwnt learns to figure out what it should be, sacrifices are inevitable. The writers did their homework and beautiful weaves the story of Phob and Tin during this tumultuous times. Creating the tension that keeps pulling them apart, the consequences of the action, and inevitably the life they will live. In the next episodes I’m preparing myself the painful truth and reality. Maybe I would prefer that than a fairy tale ending. Because it would be real. But of course people generally prefer a happy ending. Maybe there will be, but later in life.

MUSIC ROCKS!

I’m ngl this whole episode was a vibe. I really did enjoy seeing the FL shine from behind the scenes and seeing her genuinely happy by supporting others was fun. Not to mention we got a fairly good song out of all of this lmao. Honestly, great episode and that ending was so cute!!

Oh How The Turns Have Tabled

First of all glassy eyed CXZ could be the end of me 🥺✨ omg he looks so damn pathetic and miserable, dude getting a payback from his ex's ex haha💔 alright enough moping and being a pathetic loser, get up dude stop stalking her 🫂. Miantang once said that his love for his wife is not real, the Miantang he knew is a results of manipulation dan deceits merely a projections of his own desire. Does this works both way ? It totally does, Cui Jiu the smittten husband is also not real. Their fake marriage life didnt last THAT long, a few months till half a year at most ( did they specify it ? , ion actually remember so cmiiw ) wouldnt that make them BOTH be infatuated with their own perfect illusion of the love of their life, (ugh girl whatever just go to sleep its 1 AM)
