Nice to meet you (again), Cyan!! Ahhh, she’s so cute, and my heart goes out to her. What's with these sad backstories for everyone? Or well, I guess Lin Ling’s backstory wasn’t that sad, he just got laid off. Which *in comparison* isn’t as sad. But damn. Sadness to everyone!!! The thing about “date for dad’s funeral,” (I might be wrong) But I don’t think it’s about “when will my dad die” and more like “my dad has died, when should I have the funeral” because, to my VERY TINY understanding of Chinese funeral rites, is that you pick the funeral dates to happen on a lucky date, according to the Chinese fortune calendar. I may be wrong; I don’t claim to have an understanding of the subject. But I think this is where they were going for instead. Since, to me, at least, it makes more sense than asking “when is he gonna die?” The conversation “Is it just a placebo and people only believe it’s happening?” is interesting to have in this world. After all, we are in a world where people’s belief and trust becomes reality. I would not be surprised if placebos became reality like this as well. They believe that the placebo from Cyan was real and, in return, give Cyan the power to do exactly that, to make them lucky. But "luck" is so abstract, unpredictable, and hard to keep track of, how do you confirm that it's someone's power at work? and not just natural luck? “But I ship them so much, and I get worried.” This is such a mood. Li Haolin wanted to make sure we wouldn't expect Nice things from tbhx, so he made sure to kill off Nice in ep1. Ba dum tssss... (Idk, that joke worked better in my head lol) Also, I was thinking that your break fit very nicely between the arcs. So the waiting didn’t feel as long. But then again, I have been kinda bus; I totally forgot we were getting this episode this week. It wasn’t until the weekend that I realized we were getting it now; I totally thought we were getting it next week. XDD I guess my brain was somehow in the YouTube schedule. Anyway, I'm excited for next week!!

Funny how this beginning of the arc coincides with your lucky number.. stars aligning, huh? 😉 But seriously, this episode broke my heart when i was watching it, because this poor kid suffered such a tragedy : loss of her family, almost dying in the crash Mr Liu taking her to the orphanage to put her away from the spots, only for her to become the *luck freak show* She wasn’t treated as a little girl but as an amulet or object and everyone was trying to get piece of that luck cake.. the moment she turned to play with the kids, like any other kid would want, and discovered they walked away is so sad.. it emphasized just how alone and isolated she is .. And then Calamity shows up, someone her age, an isolated kid just like her but fir the opposite reason, not interested in her luck but in her as a friend because he is as alone as she is… Calamity may seem to attract misfortune in the eyes of the others , but he is the one that brought hope back in the life of the *Sacred Maiden* that gives hope to people It’s so poetic.. Also, that little stunt they did in the representation is so good, a little bird flip to the establishment and all those that took away her agency Such a great episode and reaction as always

Lucky Cyan is here! I love her so much. Gosh, the way that I loved seeing Cyan and Calamity become friends when they are supposed to be opposites in all ways. Ugh, my heart. It might be a small detail, but the fact that Cyan and Malice both used rollerskates when performing Cyan's new song, and to start their scape from the orphanage is so cool. They gave themselves all the freedom they could by being so mobile. Honestly, though, I just felt so bad for Cyan. The fact that the place that was supposed to be her safe place just utilized her for an ability that she sort of had no control over is awful. The fact that they isolated her so throughly is awful. The fact that they covered her face so nobody could tell it was a literal child who they were exploiting (not that I think most of that people would have cared, though maybe the authorities might have) is awful. And I'm so glad that she got her own tiny spec of brightness by meeting Calamity. Calamity is another character I really liked. For a child who is feared and shunned for his "bad luck" he is cheerful and nice, and hasn't let that bring him down. I did feel bad when he fumbled to explained to Cyan why his Trust Value numbers were so few; it seemed to me that he was embarrassed by it, and just gave whatever explanation he could come up with for it. That moment with Calamity making sure Cyan's good luck could bring forth some "bad luck" to make her feel better was adorable and it always makes my heart melt.

So picking a day for a funeral…. We are talking auspicious days here. When I heard that, I assumed that the father was already deceased and they are trying to plan a memorial. For that, you would consult a calendar or a Fortune teller, Feng Shui master, Buddhist priest, calendar…. So red days are good, and black days are bad. So, I’m sure that the person asking wanted to know what a good and lucky day to have this event take place. Oh boy, when Husband and I got married, we couldn’t just pick a day. We had to have his parents run it through several people, calendars and family members to help pick just the right Red day to have the wedding! What a pain in the ass! Try coordinating that with a banquet room and people flying in from overseas….. 🤦‍♀️ it all worked out and we had a great time. And we are still doing well! So I guess it worked!😉

You know, that is a really good point about choosing the day for a funeral! I hadn't considered all of that, so the perspective is appreciated! Thanks for that! My parents picked September and I am forever upset that they chose the 21st of September without realizing it is directly connected to one of my favorite songs by Earth, Wind, and Fire....*sigh* I'm so glad your wedding day worked out for everyone though!! Thank you for the comment!

I really love Cyan already and no joke - Li Haolin is just giving us sad after sad backstory – makes Lin Ling seem so….”common” right? BADUM TISSSSS XD And yes, Moomin talked about that as well, so thank you for noting the funeral dates and cultural reasons behind them! I agree about luck – it’s REALLY abstract and unpredictable, so it’s a curious power to bring about in this world and try to “quantify,” much less explain! Hahaha, and I agree - I don’t trust Li Haolin with “happy endings” AT. ALL. I guess we’ll see where that goes! Your joke worked, too! XD Seriously, the break could not have come at a BETTER time, considering that this starts a new arc – and I feel you on being busy! Thank you so much for the comment and I’m excited as well!

THE STARS ALIGNED indeed! I love it! Seriously, though, Cyan has been THROUGH it from such a young age, already! I feel for Mr. Liu, because I think he would be horrified to learn what became of her after taking her to the orphanage. It’s really sad, but at least Calamity is here to help her feel more normal! I love that he is the one to bring happiness back to Cyan, despite being “unlucky!” I love that they got to do their stunt and show up the establishment…now I just need them to get out okay! Thank you so much for the kind words and comment!

romaniablack

I really like Lucky so far and feel for her! Calamity coming in with his relatability and friendship? UGH, I just love it but am super scared it’s going to be turned against them! Malice? I thought their name was Calamity…Spoiler that was missed? but yeah, good point. But yeah, I feel bad for her! I can’t wait to see what happens next! Thanks for the comment!

Moominkomet

That is a great song! Even though my mom and sister were not born on the 21st of September, they considered that song to be their birthday song ❤️

Alexandra Q

Lol, no, I meant to write Calamity and my brain clearly short circuited xD Sorry about that, I wrote the comment late and clearly didn’t check it x’D

romaniablack

Ooopsss, okay, then ignore my note in the intro - I thought I'd been spoiled on accident, so I'll make a note in the YouTube comments that it was a mistake! Thanks for clarifying that!

romaniablack

No worries - I'm glad you clarified! I apologize for jumping to conclusions on that in the reaction/intro without checking first - will do that in the future!

romaniablack

I would not blame them! It's such a great song -- anyone born in September should claim it!! :D
