Ohai I'm Glitch. I'm behind on shows, and I've decided to start a whole new drama.

#WatchList #TheGhostBride

The setting is not one I'm used to seeing in media, so this is fascinating on that point alone.

Tian Ching: You left too soon last time! We need to talk! About a lot of stuff! Like our wedding! I'll be good to your family!
Also Tian Ching: *jump scares Li Lan every time he shows up in her dreams, and wonders why she runs away*

#TheGhostBride

I'm generally camp trust the servants, and they seem to be in agreement that Tian Ching is a jerk.

But!

I do love his theatrics. If I were haunting dreams it would be difficult for me not to jump for the horror tropes myself. 

Okay okay, Er Lang is also fun.

I was also wondering if he was intended to be Er Lang Shen, but I don't think so anymore.

Oh no wait, only six episodes?

… I just realized, those attendants are on those hoverboards aren’t they? I forget what they’re called.

But the pivot one of the maidens attendants was doing when searching for Li Lan looked exactly like how it looks when you pivot and turn on those.

I already love the mother. The dream was too idealized a view of her to get a feel.

But watching her now, acting with agency and not existing solely as a child’s memory, she’s cool. How she thought on her feet when coming up with a lie for why she was in Li Lan’s room. And her glances back and forth between Li Lan and Er Lang.

Tian Ching is like! "I was so looking forward to the wedding" and is shocked — like fully  shocked — that she didn't feel the same.

He literally had to threaten her father's life to get her to agree in the first place.

I'm on EP 6, and:
The Mom is still very cool, and Tian Ching is still very much an asshole.

(And still very well dressed.)

Whoa Isabel, what did you do?

I was just about to talk about how much I liked the direction they went with Isabel, like how much she obviously cared about Li Lan, and...

She has the decency to look guilty about it. So, what's going on?

Oh shit.

Okay so I still like where they went with Isabel. It wasn't "I'm insecure about my fiancé, and therefore murder." Or I guess in a way it is, but not the usual way. It was more that she got herself in a tangled mess of murder, in part bc she didn't trust her fiancé to understand what happened.

I finished it!

Aaaaah the tension in those last 20 minutes for me. I thought it was going to go with a sour ending but it was sweet.

Rather than focusing on heartbreak it focused on new beginnings and letting go. And it was nice to see? I feel like I don't get to see that enough.

I also kinda 1000% want a motw-style spinoff with Li Lan and Er Lang, which I know isn't what they were going for but still.
