Haaaa yes that's at least a cheering thought! I didn't know het subplot was a requirement, but I can see they're going there and I will be happy to skip it, even if it's a shame about the single recurring female role in the show so far.
(and even if Pangzi doesn't actually know, the way he snaps in the drunk scene hints that is something he fears already...with Wu Xie's survival instincts it's not a surprising fear...)
Yeah, I really liked how that scene started out as comedy and then turned into such a revealing moment for both of them. As you said earlier, Pangzi's character is really good for this, the hairpin emotional turns like that, and like you said, he has reason to fear that Wu Xie will not live to grow old.
a particular type of accepting angst that is a Zhu Yilong specialty That is a lovely way to put it, ahhh. Zhu Yilong plays all these subtle shades of emotion SO well, and I'm so glad he has a secret to protect here and isn't just a straight-up action hero.
