EPISODE 6

I think I enjoyed this series very much because I am beginning to understand some of the unanswered questions like:-



1. How can the father and grandma kick Cheung Ping when they love her so much?

Because they were all sentenced to the cold palace (I suspect Cheung Ping wasn't but I missed that episode) and then one night evil Concubine Tin ordered the cold palace to be destroyed, so they all took the opportunity to escape during the fire to save themselves. They even changed their names.



2. How come Cheung Ping was with them when grandma loved her so much?

Kidd I think answered that for me, she followed them willingly. So I guess they all thought they all disappeared and don't know where they are.



Very pitiful. Now I understand! Ok, dramatic but possible.



In this episode we see also Yoke Han (a very pretty and demure looking Annie Man) who is weak and is Sai Hin's fiancee. No fight man, princess vs minister's daughter! Also I know more about Sai Hin and Cheung Ping like:-



1. They are very religious since they pray to God every 5 minutes;

2. Did I see that stupid yellow doggie again? Arghhhh

3. More flashbacks, sick to my bone. Well now we also know Cheung Ping is not only pretty, smart, kind, friendly, loving, loyal, fillial ... above all else she is perfect. Yes very obvious this series is showing how darn perfect she is whilst of course how imperfect Superman is. I think.



Anyway, I am beginning to enjoy the drama of this series though again, this series totally debunked my idea of a very smart and outspoken Cheung Ping. Yes she is perfect and an angel in here BUT she is still not the Cheung Ping I want her to be. She is too demure, too soft spoken, she is not intelligent enough nor outspoken enough.



One favourite scene was when she was fired (again) and she was sitting, eating and crying and Sing Hing's father came in and Sing Hing said, "She's Fai Lei, without reason she was fired!", and the father said "I am not managing this place but I do not know this girl is very hard working ..." and then he described how he saw her doing all sorts of things in one day. So the boss said she stays. I know this sounds bland but that scene was quite funny. Another good scene was when Sai Hin was standing by that wishing tree and suddenly thanks to some divine intervention a paper prayer fell next to him and lo and behold, he saw the name Cheung Ping! The good thing is the authenticity of that scene, where Cheung Ping's handwriting is so ugly! Poor girl, missing out on her education. And also the scene where he suspects Fai Lei is Cheung Ping which is quite touching as he wondered and wondered. I also like one scene where Cheung Ping was carrying Yoke Han who was sitting on a chair (?) and Yoke Han was talking about the palace and Cheung Ping asked how was the Emperor, the King's mother and all. Very touching you know because she misses them.



Anyway I am really looking forward to Sai Hin and Cheung Ping seeing each other again because that will certainly stop the pining and the flashbacks and then I will get to see real stuff like politics, evil concubines and more torture!



I must comment on one thing; Charmaine could dance quite nicely as in traditional dance, the style is there. She learnt ballet before so that is not surprising. Luckily very little Superman today. Thank god!
