4.0/10 - Gosh I LOVE THIS ROLE REVERSAL STUFF! Heck, yes.

Pei Heng seems to like the apologizing Chen Qian Qian. Clearly he's seeing a personality change. But it's also clear he likes this humbled and vulnerable Chen Qian Qian way more. Because she was to "willful" before. Hmmmm, I wonder if it's really willful. I hate it when I see "willful" as bad. Willful woman are great. Now rude. Yes. Rash, reckless, and careless. I agreed with everything else he was saying. I just don't like willful as a negative attribute. Though I'm being harsh cause I tend to see in Historical Dramas "willfulness" for women as a negative quality. Pei Heng clearly is a sympathetic person as he felt so bad for Han Shuo's situation. I mean Pei Heng doesn't know Han Shuo's real intentions. Just sees a sickly dude sold into marriage. Gosh I LOVE THIS ROLE REVERSAL STUFF!

Sadly this episode fell really flat for me. Chen Qian Qian just wants out of this "dream" and back to her life. YOu see that struggle, and that's probably why she does all this crazy stuff. I just found it all too over the top, rushed, and a bit boring. This is still the setup of the story and world. It didn't help that I found Han Shuo's constant "assassinate the Third Princess" stuff annoying fast. The second poisoning attempt was funny! But all those spies out there waiting to attack over and over was dull. I hope the next episode gets better plot wise as Chen Qian Qian realizes she has to be smarter.

I will say Chen Chu Chu is totally amazing!!!!!!! >_< Oh, yes. I can see why Chen Xiao Qian / Chen Qian Qian wanted Chen Chu Chu to be the lead. I mean even when a female lead has fighting skills they usually make the male lead her superior.

Chen Xiao Qian / Chen Qian Qian has decided to that the way to get out of her drama is to make the plot she originally wanted play out. But clearly things have changed. What I want is for her to realize this is a chance to explore a more dynamic plot!!! Though I wonder if she's gonna stay hung up on getting Han Shuo and Chen Chu Chu together. Though I'm curious how Pei Heng will tie in. Clearly he's doomed to second lead throw away for Chen Qian Qian, but Chen Chu Chu likes him!!!!!! So this is dynamic I'm curious to see played out. Here's to the next episode being better.
