It caught me

First of all, I did not expect this episode to capture me like this. I moved on to the 2nd and it;s just as good. If you suspend your disbelief and pretend you're watching a fantasy-historical-romance that has nothing at all to do with history and is entirely fabricated, this is some good stuff. As it is, it's also just a normal romance story with the normal ingredients. The cinematography is cool though.

The characters... I'm just watching for the romance between the OTP and of course, watching to see George Hu! Handsome, pretty, pretty, badly-costumed-but-perfect-smile George Hu!

Next thing - Nai Nai irks me. For such a talented and gifted seer, she sure is stupid, but I guess we need that to actually have a story. if Nai Nai would only explain their fates a bit, give them reasons why she is so strict, and don't push her poor grand-daughter to be humiliated by others, then maybe grand-daughter would listen a bit more.
