Lost Tomb ep 7 and 8

[marycrawford]

I am still enjoying the Iron Triangle's shenanigans a lot, but it's okay if I just


fast-forward through Sunglasses Guy's entire subplot right? ...right? I'm not feeling it, and the various hinky stereotypes aren't helping.

OTOH I'm particularly loving the dramatic irony moments where we get SO CLOSE to Wu Xie confessing his secret to Pangzi - first with the sudden drunken poisoning and then again with the "energy pills". Wu Xie reassuring Pangzi by saying "Trust me, I will die before you" is, uh, not to cross the streams or anything, but that is a peak Shen Wei moment. That is about as reassuring as "Luckily, I am used to pain". His little FACE!

Hahaha woops sorry, I will try and remember not to use the word triad when talking about this show (or other chinese contemporary shows, really, if I ever watch more), I can see that could be super confusing.

But yes let us have the Iron Triangle just goofing off and eating all the best hotpot, and oh yes karaoke! Wu Xie and Pangzi's little song/dance moment while they were drunk-poisoned was just adorable.

Shellfish hands that get you high is a very nice narrative touch. Good job tomb builders! They really wanted those prospective tomb raiders to...uh...party on?
