The whole wedding is so fun! Shen Wei's Side Eye of Danger. The blue suit. Minister Gao. The confrontation in the parlour. Everything!
Yessssss, such a gift! Especially how, despite all the chaos around them and the fact that it's an actual wedding, it's all still 99% about Zhao Yunlan and Shen Wei. :D
I love when Zhu Jiu goes "what are you to each other". Catching on to something there, are you. He knew he could use Zhao Yunlan as a hostage against Shen Wei, but still underestimated what these two have going on XD
Ahh, yes! It's such a interesting contrast, too, I think: if it had been Zhao Yunlan offering himself in exchange, it could have been for anyone, you know? We see in the video game episode how readily he'll risk his life for strangers. But Shen Wei is very strategic. For the Envoy to offer himself as a replacement hostage is a Big Deal! No wonder Zhu Jiu is intrigued.
Hrrrgh I am losing my mind over this whole scene. They work together flawlessly, even in the middle of an ongoing disagreement.
:D :D :D It's amazing, isn't it? So in synch! :D :D :D (Do you think they're still disagreeing at this stage? Despite Zhu Jiu's interruption, I feel like they resolved a lot of the tension at the lab when Shen Wei explained he'd been trying to protect Zhao Yunlan...?)
I think it's the first one, he can't believe Shen Wei is still lying to his face, and with the flimsiest of excuses no less.
I thought that too. As well as personal frustration, he has to be upset that Shen Wei as Envoy kept him out of the loop re Tan Xiao, but then he dismisses Shen Wei's apology about bringing trouble, so I wasn't sure.
I don't think Shen Wei is actually trying to convince him, he just wants to Not Talk About It for now - but Zhao Yunlan doesn't know/understand that.
Yes, very much agreed! :D :D :D
We see Shen Wei envoy-ing without the robes, too. The "complete form" phrasing doesn't really make sense to me... Maybe he means how much energy Shen Wei can expend?
True, good point! Maybe? Or maybe there are hidden physiological differences between Dixingren and Haixingren? But none of the other Dixingren in Haixing seem to have the same problem...
She's adorable. I wonder if the twirl is necessary, or if she does it for dramatics just like Shen Wei.
Hee! Maybe she needs the momentum.
But more seriously, I like that all three of them are presented sympathetically. The leaders are all trying to do what's best for their people.
Yes, they're all so determined and earnest. You're right, that is really great. (Such a contrast with the Regent! ;-p)

Thanks! I couldn't resist. *g*
