shadarasThis is later than usual because my computer kept wanting to die on me, ugh. But I have persevered! So much happens in this episode!
A comment about something I didn’t notice last week: When we first meet Zhao Jing, the same background music plays as when the cast first reaches Siji Manor (and when we first see Siji Manor in ZZS’s hallucination, this episode). It’s a theme that I associate with family/safety/good things happening. They go so hard on making Zhao Jing seem like a good guy when we first meet him!

Discussion Prompts/Questions
probably most of my prompts/questions are really hidden in the above sections today...
I don’t recall if we’re ever shown more of WKX’s Drunk Like a Dream hallucination. What do you think he saw? Why do you think it’s his dad mourning/sitting vigil? (For whom?)
Did any of you even remember that Yu Qiufeng had a son? Because I sure didn’t until I rewatched this episode. Poor Yu Tianjie; he exists to attempt to catch a thief and die messily.
Zhao Jing and his acting skills! How much emotion do you think he really has about the deaths and thievery and so forth? How much do you think he really wanted Ao Laizi to come to his manor (where killing him/stealing that piece of Glazed Armor would be a different challenge)? Any other thoughts about his plotting thus far?
Next Time: ZZS is unmasked! Xie’er’s introduction! Chengling misses ZZS and WKX! A lot of emotional conversations between ZZS and WKX! WKX starts working on the fake Glazed Armor!
