shadarasSome fun things from last week’s comment section! There’s always a lot more in the comment threads than I pull out, of course, so it’s definitely worth checking out the whole thing. :)
We’ll be coming back to this thread about how long DPJ and Xie-wang might’ve been working together!
A side-by-side comparison of the fight between WKX/ZZS in ep6 and ep37: [link]
( Scene List and Notes on Time )
( Recap )
( Commentary )
Discussion Prompts/Questions
1. “When he’s around, you feel more like a person.” Gu Xiang has noticed this already, despite not having seen the most recent relationship developments between WKX and ZZS. Thoughts about what she’s noticed and why she’s bringing this up? Especially in contrast to her immediately previous statement about ZZS’s glance being “even scarier than a ghost’s”? (And to her having just met Cao Weining?)
2. I feel like the way Wen Kexing and Zhou Zishu relate to money (and each other, through money) is fascinating but also I don’t have coherent thoughts of my own yet. If you do, I’d love to hear them! (But we’ll be getting more of WKX bothering ZZS to pay for him next episode, I believe!)
3. So much spy stuff this episode! Any particular bits of spy shenanigans and secret codes and message-passing that delight you?
4. A lot of time is spent on the murder-wedding this episode. It feels rather disconnected from the main plot on a first viewing, but on this re-watch I’m starting to see more connections sprinkled in. Any feelings about it? Or about Xisang Gui, since we’ve now met her properly?
5. Another open invitation to talk about Han Ying and his goals! And/or the Tian Chuang-Scorpion connection! I am interested in thoughts on both these things!
Next Time: GX and CWN flirt more (and so do ZZS and WKX). Gao Chong takes Chengling to see the Five Lakes Monument. Han Ying attempts to kidnap Chengling! Fang Buzhi realises he has multiple glazed armor pieces (and dies). WKX and ZZS meet Gao Chong properly.
