7.0/10 - Huh, they're still keeping Han Shuo's edge.

I was beginning to wonder if Han Shuo had totally lost his edge. When he went begging and crying to the Queen so that Chen Qian Qian could have/help Su Mu. I mean I was worried. He's giggling. Slapping oranges and telling it it's cute. But the edge is still there. He brought in a spy by having all the musicians brought in, and then even placed them at Chen Chu Chu. Even while falling for Chen Qian Qian the temptation to poison her so that the Queen might bring out the Dragon Bone pops up. Oh, boy is he tempted. But one of the most important conversations, and character development scenes, happens and Han Shuo becomes a fully fleshed out character. Which is what I believe Han Shuo's other world self was telling Chen Qian Qian. More growth. My heart broke hearing how at sixteen he was diagnosed with heart disease and those around him already counted him dead. Wow, the emotions.

This was also a solid way to show Pei Heng falling for Chen Qian Qian, but I feel like they should and are now good friends. I don't think Pei Heng could ever make a good love triangle, but I doubt a good friendship only thing will be embraced. Because you know. Though I like how he comes to her after the dislocation. Even if it dashes my hopes that Chen Qian Qian's fighting skills transferred over. Usually with this genre it doesn't happen.

What's even more hilarious is seeing the men face the same abuse and judgement that women normally get. It's also saying "See a revolution needs to happen so that these men can have freedom." It's funny. What I would love is that if Both sides could see each other's views and the cities merge and embrace equality for all of the sexes. Using Su Mu as a way to show freedom of learning, and that Pei Heng is a man of power trapped in a woman's world and tries to break out of the "stereotype" was funny but brilliant.

I do think this drama has definitely found it's groove! I love all the ideas and possibilities right now. The Princess School isn't being over done at this point, which is nice. It's also interesting seeing how the men like the more "conventional" Chen Qian Qian. I feel like I should be annoyed, but I'm not. *shrugs* YOu know cause this is a world where women are on top and Chen Qian Qian is just like "nah, I'm gonna let this man protect me", but she's sticking to her skills on survival. But that's why I was hoping the fighting skills transferred over. The one shocking thing this episode was hearing that Han Shuo may have been attracted to Chen Qian Qian when she was still Chen Qian Qian and he saw her riding her runaway horse. But his need to live was too strong for him and he poisons her without thought. That's deep.
