Joy of Life 2 drops new trailer with a dramatic (and hilarious!) English voiceover ahead of it's premier. Today is the day!
Fan Xian’s hotness this entire season has been on a different level 😳
It probably says disturbing things about me that this is the hottest I've found Fan Xian ever.
I totally think CPP wants revenge on the emperor!! notice how we have been getting hints all season about a crazy secret weapon in his wheelchair? I bet he’s saving that for the emperor
That was genuinely great - the way Fan Xian sees through everything when CPP tries to explain that the assassination attempt was random.
Because no normal person would plan it, claims CPP. Fan Xian's response:
Fan Xian figured it all out while in pain, recovering from surgery and coming out of anesthesia. That man's brain!
I love him so much.
The thing that I love btw is Fan Xian still cares for CPP and this doesn't do anything to that care - he takes people as they are and sees the good and bad in them but does not require them to be great people to be attached. There are certain things that violate his bottom line and he will not get over but the staged attempted assassination is not one of them. (I also find it pretty telling that out of his four father figures, he likes his actual biological father the least - CPP, Fan Jian and Fei Jie are all ranked higher for him both in terms of emotional attachment and just plain liking them as a person.)
But the thing is, Fan Xian generally accepts reality. Oh, he will work to change it if it doesn't suit him, but he accepts what the reality currently is - he never mistakes "what I wish it could be" or dwell on what-ifs or wallow in self-pity or w/e. I mean, this is the man who wakes up to find out his qi, the foundation of all his martial art, is gone, and is all "oh, OK" and accepts it because this is a fact and denying it won't change the fact. He will clearly work on figuring out either how to restore it or how to overcome the lack in terms of fighting but there is no denial that it happened or panic.
PS Not related but I wonder if CPP wants revenge on the Emperor perhaps for FX's mom's death which the emperor clearly either staged or did not prevent. His little speech about how a grudge can take over felt like a hint to me.
yes it did!! welp there goes ALL my productivity for the rest of the night …
I think the rest of season 2 just got dropped in one fell swoop???!!
watching ep 33 right now and just need to put this out there: show, you better not end this season on another cliffhanger and make me wait 5 more years 🤬
pretty sure this is how ancient chinese ppl would react to my handwriting as well 😅
the first prince's look of pure disgust at fan xian's awful handwriting is just *chef's kiss*
just finished JOL2 - show, i have to give it to you. the last episode was an absolute banger, almost makes up for the fact that we now begin the interminable wait for season 3
Fan Xian just slashing that man in the middle of his rant was glorious. I love that FX is a person of morals but he is not a non-violent one; he does not object to killing either by others or himself, he objects to unjust killing.
And then the second supervisor goes. FX is vvvv fed up and has no patience.
That grin! He is not just his mother's son, he is his father's also.
This was EPIC! Any objections he asks by corpses of people he just killed.
old lady ming is by FAR the scariest and most fucked up character the show has given us
"we've sinned"
Uh, ya think? Yikes this is some fucked up shit
