...and done with The Sleuth of Ming Dynasty.

It was...fine I guess? I still don't mind Sui Zhou that much but adapted Tang Fan makes me insane, he's so annoying, sigh. They did at least wrap things up, the ending felt satisfying. Overall there were things I liked and things I didn't, but man calling it an adaptation of The 14th Year of Chenghua is just a full-on lie as far as I'm concerned.

Anyway. Onward to the next show... (which I guess is NiF 2????)

I'm sorry but how is Joyous Brothel a safe place this makes no fucking sense.

#tsomd

if this isn't an intentional trap it's the stupidest plotline. I'm supposed to believe anyone thought that checking on the bombs was a good idea? I'm supposed to believe they made Tang Fan a complete coward for absolutely no reason? This doesn't even fit with the other characterization WITHIN THE SHOW, much less what it does to book characterization.

I'm sorry I keep ragging on the show but I'll own I'm a little shocked especially considering how many people I know who love it.

oh yes my favorite (serious!) flashbacks of "bromance" moments while something dramatic happens in the present.

definitely nothing gay happening here.

#tsomd

this. this is what I'm watching this show for.
(sorry for no ids I have like zero time)

#tsomd

am I really expected to believe that Li Zilong wouldn't realize that Gao Yi turned himself over? I hope this gets addressed...

#tsomd

okay Sui Zhou interrupting Commander Wan such that it sounded like an order was pretty good. lmao.

#tsomd

I don't get it. why is he monologing in a candled room. why are they saying ANY of this in front of Tang Fan. What's the point??? sigh.

#tsomd

why are they letting themselves be killed by this bomb this is dumb

#tsomd

(I swear I'm trying really hard not to be annoyed by this show but it's not working, sigh. so many of my friends love it so much and I want to love it to but it's a struggle. it was easier before this plotline)

Wang Xian was more compelling when they let him be his characters, what's with this monologue???
