I am a super hero

Jiang Long is so funny. He is really talented and should be recognized more. In this drama his character Cheng Xiao Shi was born with a unique magnetic field causing all things electrical to act up around him.. He considers this his super power. As the episode begins, he admonishes a fish seller for cheating an old woman. This results in the vendor getting some guys together to beat him up in an alley. Electrical sparks, strange music and a mystery man up the stairs succeed in spooking them so that his pummeling is stopped. This same stranger shows up at his photo shop and tells him he can travel through pictures. CXS thinks he is crazy but game to try it just to shut the guy up. And now the real story begins as he finds himself transported into the person in the photograph.

Back to Life, Back to Reality

In this episode, the relationship between Subaru and Madoka really takes a back seat to developments around them. The truth about Madoka's mother, Subaru's gramps health, Subaru's and Tomoya's friendship issues, cockroaches (yes, that's right), and so on. Well, there was one scene where the two are sharing onabe (Japanese hot pot). Madoka shares that even after the learning that her mother, the same one who abonded her as a young girl, is the President of the Company she works for, she was still able to look on the bright side of things, because Subaru is by her side. What a heart-warming thing to say, IMHO. Besides this, there is one more bit of good news from this episode: The return of Lily! It's for all but about five seconds of screen-time. Oh well, at least it's good to know she's alive! To sum up this episode, I'd say it's the return from the clouds and back to reality with the introduction of the final hurdle in the way of Rich Boy and Poor Girl.
