LOL so much for filial piety!

#cdrama #WinterBegonia #WinterBegoniaWP

I feel like Second Master guy kinda has the hots for the opera singer? He is far too friendly and interested in him. And complimentary, too. 👀

"We both really don't like each other. Is there a need to pretend?" LMAO this opera singer has no fucks to give.

"You're used to rescuing damsels in distress. I'm not a damsel in distress. I'm a hero. Listen to my performance. You won't be disappointed." What a bad ass.

#cdrama #WinterBegonia #WinterBegoniaWP

I did not expect the opera singer to be able to run away so fast!😄

Oh, Mrs. Second Master is jealous! Honey, not every couple is that gratuitous in showing affection to each other.

Ha ha. "He isn't qualified to be my enemy." This Commander Cao sounds reasonable.

#cdrama #WinterBegonia #WinterBegoniaWP

OK, I take it back that he's reasonable. He just pulled out a gun and shot it because two people tried to leave a performance? 😬

"I wasn't afraid when you pointed a gun at me in the past. I'm not afraid now." Opera singer is ballsy, wow. And Commander Cao respects that! 😲

That was a very long conversation out in the cold and snow.

#cdrama #WinterBegonia #WinterBegoniaWP

Same. I tend to shout back or hang up on them.

#cdrama #WinterBegonia #WinterBegoniaWP

So much backstory in the first 3 minutes of this episode. I for sure will not remember it all. 🥴

"All the plays in this world are stories about me." I feel that. Being able to connect so deeply with a piece of art is something special.

"Proprietor Shang, have you tried?"
"I am highly skilled, I don't need that." 😎

These two becoming best buddies! 😍

I love this engineer trying to figure out how the roof was built. I am very much That Guy, too. When I got to visit Ellis Island, I was mostly fascinated by the mechanisms to open and close the windows or provide airflow from rooms to the halls. 🤓

Omg, I want to play with all the architecture models! Nerd joy fills the shelves in that house! 😍

I know how to count (kinda) in Mandarin, so saying "60 years" as "six ten years" makes sense to me. The word for "year" sounds similar to the Korean word for year "년". But in Mandarin, it sounds more like "냔". #LanguageLearner

He wants a trigger to be able to collapse the tunnel at will?! Yikes. But, I guess, war and commerce are both bloody and risky games? "You look like someone with stature but you have the air of a bandit." 👀

#cdrama #WinterBegonia #WinterBegoniaWP

Second Master Cheng is certainly throwing a lot of his money around today. Paying any price for a mountain tunnel. Paying for that hall restoration. Paying for the opera company to stay. He sure has a lot of money to spare... 😬 I hope he's not overextending himself...

Oh, he has enemies, too!

Leading 10,000 troops is easier than 10 theater workers? 😂

LOL I keep thinking this show will be serious and then there's this gossipy fight!

#cdrama #WinterBegonia #WinterBegoniaWP

Holy, how much do they pay the soldier for being willing to stand with a cake on his head and be shot at?! Yikes. Holy fuck, and a no-look shot like that?! Was that speech about fearing the unexpected and even tigers dozing off a threat from Cheng to Cao?

"I sincerely want to collaborate with you" sounds a bit weird after he stole that guy's goods and then tried to scare him off with gunmanship. 😬

#cdrama #WinterBegonia #WinterBegoniaWP

Holy shit, accusing the elder Cao of conspiring with the Japanese and that Cheng has been unknowingly supplying them?!

This is not the image of a happy man. Much more evil retribution plotting.

Another 100k to buy his wife's brother's unborn baby. Another 10k to bribe his brother-in-law's brother. His piggy bank has to hit bottom at some time, right?

#cdrama #WinterBegonia #WinterBegoniaWP

"When I went home yesterday, your sister wasn't angry with me. It shows that there is room for discussion." To have that kind of removed insight and mindset to your spouse's emotions. Wow.

But apparently, that grace is not between her and Shang Xi Rui! Yikes! The way she can slander an entire profession. And conflate an interaction with thievery that will turn into arson. 

"Just go home and ask your articulate Second Madam!" 😳

##cdrama #WinterBegonia #WinterBegoniaWP

Wow, Shang Xi Rui is not afraid to kick some ass when necessary!

That little giggle just as he's about to put pen to ... back. 🤭

#cdrama #WinterBegonia #WinterBegoniaWP

Does touching your earlobe reduce the heat of holding a hot baked yam? Both these guys keep touching their earlobes.

"I'm inviting you to eat noodles, not lick the table." 😂

"9 out of 10 times it is boasting" and "i have a new act, too! It's called ... um ... um ... Goddess Steps." 😂 Marketing!

#cdrama #WinterBegonia #WinterBegoniaWP

Was dancing on the drum to show how lightly his steps were? (I keep wanting to call him "her" when he's performing.) It probably DOES take a great deal of leg and core strength to control your footsteps that quietly!

"Is this four-eye Fan Lian really worth that much?" 😮 "The fourth Fan is a money-loser who hasn't achieved anything." Fuckin' OUCH. I thought he treated this guy quite generously for familial reasons, but damn!

#cdrama #WinterBegonia #WinterBegoniaWP

"What can they do to me?" Famous last words. 😬🫣

#cdrama #WinterBegonia #WinterBegoniaWP episode 15

Damn, Shang Xi Rui is pretty scrappy for an opera singer.

##cdrama #WinterBegonia #WinterBegoniaWP

"The talent i have is worth so much more than a piece of paper." MIC DROP

"In the future, whoever catches him can stab him to death," says this Queen Bandit lady sitting on her throne of tiger skins. Damn, girl.

Commander Cao's son "hugging" his step-mom from behind like that. "My request is not small." Is it ... getting bigger? 🤨🤭

"How long has it been since you were rejected by someone?" he says, like he's not obsessed with her.
