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!

More flailing because: drunken poisoning! the "energy pills!" OH WU XIE. I felt like Pangzi suspects something's going on.

Zhu Yilong is soooo good in this. And, disappointing b-plot aside, the series so far (I've only watched through episode 8) is way better than I'd braced myself for. thevetia watched two of the earlier series and from what she told me, they were...not that good.

Not liking Sunglasses Guy. Not liking that storyline. The only thing that caught my attention in those scenes was that the actor playing the girl's brother is the guy who played the older brother in episode 18 of Guardian. (Underground fight club, older brother who thinks Wildfire is responsible for his younger brother's death.)

I think you're right, Pangzi can crack jokes but he's no dummy, I bet he's putting things together. I wonder when he'll find out! I remember being a big fan of not having Shen Wei's secret identity last for all 40 episodes, I thought the show did a beautiful job with that, and I'm curious how this will go.

WOW good eye! That's so impressive to me, I'm terrible at recognizing actors.
