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!

i am so disappointed in the b-plot being, you know, really fucking awful in SO MANY WAYS bc i've really enjoyed the sunglasses actor elsewhere (also he's ridiculously hot) but yes: i recommend skipping the lot.

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 - GOD YES. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH.

I appreciate the support in just skipping stuff! I usually watch everything once (like, say, the Hanga arc in Guardian - watch once, skip it forevermore) but this time I am just refusing.

I want to watch WU XIE, admire all the lovely lighting on Zhu Yilong and alllll the closeups. And the angst. And the suffering. <3
