Long-haired Bishies is my Obsession.

This scene in TLORC cdrama when people call Shuurei the witch because she's the first woman official reminds me of this scene in SaiMono when Ryuuki was told he's not fit to rule, making him doubt his own confidence so Shuurei rescued him

Some of Shi siblings in action! Aside from palace setting, this is what I like in costume cdrama. The fighting choreography.

Why these side characters and cdrama original addition have more flashback than the actual siblings in main cast (Shi siblings, Ran siblings, Kou siblings) lol

HERE IT COMES! THE TEA THAT TRAUMATIZED SAIUNKOKU FANS IN THEIR CHILDHOOD! IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW! THEY EVEN USE THE SAME TYPE OF TEA. GANLU TEA.

TLORC Cdrama know they messed up in previous episode so they gave me a more natural RyuShu scene in today's episode. This interaction here, that's the lighthearted tone I would like to see when they used RyuShu's iconic dialogue. Not them dying in a burning house.

See? I'm not the only one who think the RyuShu scene in that episode felt so wrong. Even people who haven't watch SaiMono think that scene is so unnecessary. They are making cdrama Ryuuki more possessive in wrong situation. Nevertheless, I still don't agree to Deng Wei's blind fans that his character is the good option/normal because how can he became the heroine's confidant if he refuse to understand the path she choose. The audacity that these fans think Deng Wei's face is the reason to watch it. Oh please, I'm here for Zeng Shunxi's Ryuuki and Li Yitong's Shuurei. Deng Wei's Sakujun is not even interesting. I rather watch Qi Min in Pursuit of Jade if I want to see an actual antagonist.

I recommend these extra stories to get a glimpse of Ryuuki's trauma. Seiran's pov before he was exiled and Ryuuki's pov freezing up near around his mom's manor because they decided to have picnic close to it without being aware of Ryuuki's trauma. Well, it also appeared in the main story for a short while though. The first arc(In manga, he was seen screaming when he realized he's alone in the dark and in the anime, he told his backstory) and Counterfet arc(Shin Suou arc).

I just realised Saiunkoku's King Ryuuki and Kusuriya's Infamous Late Emperor do have some parallel but surprisingly they are exact opposite of each other.

Oh by the way, the cdrama made RyuShu always together but its not surprising since cdrama love doing that. Maybe most of people love it when a couple is always together all the time. They don't understand the beauty of yearning by being busy or separated. I noticed that when I compare the original work and cdrama adaption. But the disadvantages of this, we can't see their separate character arcs happened simultaneously. Ryuuki improving himself as ruler, connecting with others and don't revolve his life in only romance while Shuurei is experiencing the world by traveling to different provinces to do her job. Well, Shuurei is less powerful in the cdrama anyway. She's only official and Ryuuki is the governor there so in a way it make sense why they had more chance to be together.

Ryuuki being open about praising men's looks in different version lol I love how straightforward he is since usually if you're a man praising fellow men's looks people will think you're gay. Well, technically he's bisexual but the way he praise them is so natural and casual. He's just being honest about it without ill intention.

Cdrama only fans: THIS IS ORIGINAL

Also, I hate that they turned Ryuuki's line for a lighthearted scene into serious in cdrama version so it hit different.

I'm not a fan of this scene because my brain is like "Go to the roof??" Maybe I'm just not into cdrama couple that romanticize dying together because I also hate Word of Honor's fake death. Congratulations, TLORC cdrama! I have a scene that I hate the most now and you put RyuShu's iconic dialogue in the wrong scene possible. I'm surprised they adapted RyuShu's original lines here even if it don't fit what's going on.
