The Sleuth of Ming Dynasty episodes 13-20
There were 8 new episodes this week, not 6. Yay! And they were wonderful and funny and cute. Wang Zhi is fantastic and I’m full of squee.
Spoilers below.
There was a hilarious plot about Wang Zhi wanting to send Tang Fan to another province so Tang Fan could solve the case of forged silver there. Everything had to be done in secret, because the reputation of the Emperor was at stake. Tang Fan didn’t want to go on account of it being too dangerous, and he went to great lengths to avoid it. First he pretended to be sick, then he pretended that he was going to get married, and the next he arranged his own funeral (he said that he was going to be killed for sure, so he may as well held the funeral for himself already). Wang Zhi gave as good as he got. And Sui Zhou was rolling his eyes and sighing deeply over their antics in the background.
Also I went into tumblr tag to see if someone made a gif of my favorite Tang Fan & Wang Zhi scene and they did. It’s the scene when Wang Zhi praises Dong’er’s intelligence and he says “I have only seen one genius like her in my life before.” Tang Fan of course asks “Who is it?”. The rest of the scene is here.
And here is another one of my favorite Tang Fan & Wang Zhi scenes in gifset form. I love their scenes. And I could absolutely go for Sui Zhou/Tang Fan/Wang Zhi in fanfic.
And I watched a few BTS vids on youtube. Darren Chen (Tang Fan) and Fu Mengbo (Sui Zhou) are both adorable and resemble their characters a lot. Darren Chen is flirtatious and outgoing and funny, and Fu Mengbo is quiet and cool and a good cook. :)
Royal Sister Returns episode 1
Zhu Yilong is very cute and he looks beautiful, but I was very bored when he wasn’t on screen, so I don’t think I will continue watching.
Ancient Detective episodes 1-3
And to stay in Chinese historical crime dramas genre I started watching Ancient Detective. Well, the main reason was – because Liu Yaoyuan, the actor who plays Wang Zhi in The Sleuth of Ming Dynasty, has a supporting part here. And he’s a great actor, so I wanted to see him in something else.
I watched three episodes and it’s ok I guess. The two male leads are pretty and cute and slashable with their contrasting personalities. One is the brains, the other is the brawn. The female lead is a stereotypical “skilled assassin cold on the outside and soft on the inside” type for now. Liu Yaoyuan was in these three episodes for maybe 5 minutes tops. But I’m intrigued by the main mystery, so I will watch some more for sure. And the main leads together have makings of a nice OT3, and I’m always down for M/M/F threesome. :)
