Actually losing my mind at episode 7 of The Romance of Tiger and Rose, I haven't laughed like that in a long time!

Han Shuo going from jealous and angry to besotted and so completely smitten, Bai Ji coming up with the real questions ("What is wrong with them? They even considered asking Lin Qi for help before you" - excuse me while I choke to death wheezing), Zi Rui and Qianqian being all at once disaster comedic duo and badass super team...

The entire Shakespearian comedy of situation with everyone arriving one after the other at the fortune lode, I was dying for all of it! And just before, Han Shuo and Qianqian arguing over who gets to get blown up and who cares the most about the other before fiiiiinally coming up with the idea of going together, I'm !!!! Losing! My! Mind.

I ADORE all the faces they make in the background, Zi Rui and Bai Ji get the gold medal for most hilarious/sassy/dumb faces, but Han Shuo comes close second with the most expressive eyebrows ever.

I am having so much fun, thank you everyone who recommended it when I asked for recs earlier.
