Lost Tomb eps 5-10

A screaming post!


- I have noticed cdramas seem to be good for the hurt/comfort, but this is ON ANOTHER LEVEL. It is amazing. I am legit worried for Wu Xie and need him to be tucked up in bed for a good long while after this. At least he got a coat tucked around him and fed last episode. For a bit.

- This is a very scientific show with scientific explanations for everything. Like how the corpses are piloted around by hand-crabs. SCIENCE.

- I seriously can't believe the amount of h/c tropes packed into this show. I appreciate them all, and especially I appreciate how many are focused on Wu Xie. And I very much enjoy Kylin looking Extremely Concerned at him all the time.

- That whole bit in ep 10 with Wu Xie having a breakdown and then hallucinating and then fighting Pangzi and trying to snap out of it, aaaaaaaaaaaa SO GOOD. Him rolling on the floor in agony was also very good.

- I have literally no idea what the point of Sunglass Guy's plotline is.

They are having ALL the h/c tropes I AM SO HAPPY.

Things I adore that they've done:

- The presumed dead! The presumed SEEING YOUR FRIENDS DIE! And with extra guilt!
- The blindess with the trust between the three (and the banter when Wu Xie went blind too)
- The bugs that get you through all stages of being blackout drunk in five minutes OMG
- PANGZI TALKING DOWN A FERAL WU XIE aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa that bit was SO GOOD when he couldn't even take the punch because he knows his Tianzhen isn't doing it on purpose and then he made Wu Xie stop mid-swing skjfshgkjfhghsjkh MY FEEEEEEEEEELS

The first half of ep 10 I was just rolling around going are we EVER getting back to the Iron Triangle?! (I don't get Sunglasses'story either, though I expect it will catch up eventually, some of the previews showed WX in a jungle?)

But then the ep got back to them and OHHHH... That fight, OWWWWWW. Especially Pangzi having a chance to get a hit in but can't actually punch his Tianzhen even when Wu Xie is trying to kill him. (And he's like this now before he even knows he's sick!)

And then Xiaoge to the rescue, and he's helping both of them...

Did you see the interview with ZYL when he was saying that he couldn't really play Wu Xie as sick as he should be, because it would be too exhausting to watch...so yeah, he's toning it down??

Really I don't even know what they're doing next when they've already hit this many h/c tropes... Can't wait to find out!!

I want to hold out and binge watch but you're making it very hard, stawp :)

I have watched up to ep 10 (except fastforwarded through Sunglasses Guy because I have no fucks to give) and I Can Scream Along \o/

Zhu Yilong blind and wet looked ethereally gorgeous, I mean WOW I am going to have to go back and make screencaps. Again. AND that's saying something, considering he looks gorgeous in pretty much every closeup. The lighting on this show is SO good.

Also very much appreciate the h/c tropes and the way they go NON STOP - straight from blind to can see again but now violently hallucinating, yes bring it ON.

And Pangzi's handling of the violent hallucination was so sweet, the complete "you couldn't hurt me" trope, and it worked, bless him.

I caved and got the VIP so I’m finally getting caught up and UGH the friendship! I love these nerds so much! And yes, Science. I am not A Scientist, so I’ll just accept Science here. Although to be fair I would accept anything coming from Zhu Yilong.
