How much do I love Qing Chuan's confrontation with Eight's Mother. I don't particularly blame the mother because she's under the impression QC is playing Eight and Four and is a super-schemer (but this being the palace, can't come out and say it openly and thus tries to appeal to who she thinks QC is - evil schemer). But I love love LOVE Qing Chuan's response. She's probably one of the most logical heroines out there. It took her forever to decide she liked Eight (and she analyzed it to death and thought it through from every angle, though ultimately emotions like jealousy and missing him were what pushed her over the edge into realizing she loved him) but now that she did, not only is she going to stick by him whatever comes, she is rational and can back up her emotional attachment with some awesome arguments which show why it's good. It's not just her heart but her mind that thinks this relationship is the best. Rationalizing everything has its advantages :) She's never done a grand declaration because it's not her style, but at this point, does she really need it?

Another thing I like? Jealous Qing Chuan. So enjoyable.



But the thing I like the most is Eight telling his mother off, because I always wanted kdrama heroes to do that with their psycho parents and they never did. Just once, when crazy parent was trying to break up them and their OTP and claiming it's for their own good, I wanted someone to point out to their manipulative evil folks that this isn't how you start showing your caring. When Eight told her "Mother. I was afraid of thunder when I was a child. When I needed your comfort, where were you? When I fell from a horse, and needed your care, still, where were you? All those years, you were never there for me. What right do you have to decide what's best for me?"



Preach it, Eight!

And I conclude on this because it was so hilarious and cute. He's mad she didn't show up last night when they were supposed to elope and ignores her and she's cranky he's not paying attention to her, so she bites him. LOLOLOLOL. I love you guys so much. She tells him she meant to come but got locked up with Four, which is why she couldn't meet him to run away with him and she only got away from Four by biting him. And came to him right away without any rest. And then he asks her if she bites every man she sees. ROFL. ILY.






You guys are so perfect.

I know! A strong, common-sense heroine. A hero who treats her well. OTP which communicates. Etc etc etc. I love it.

I love how she was honest with Eight about being locked up with four. I was so sure that was going to cause a lot of drama. It was refreshing to have a part like that in a drama where the characters weren't stupid and tried to hide it making it worse. And I was so glad Eight had total trust in her and put that right behind him! I love QC/Eight. This show is awesome!

Yes, I know, I love that they talk things out and there is no stupid misunderstanding that could be explained by a 5-min conversation.
