So we're finally getting to join Maomao and Jinshi on their road trip. Overall, the start to this has actually been pretty fun to watch and this episode was a pretty well-rounded one. Sazen turns out to be a naturally great apothecary, Cho-u is as cute as he is silly, Basen is looking great but being absolutely airheaded in moments he can't be, the doctor is kind of just here for the ride, and Jinshi is looking better than he ever has (please, I want him to keep this look even though I know he won't). The situation the doctor's family is in is a rather difficult one but I think we're going to get some outside perspectives that may or may not change the overall perception of it all. I am appreciating how everything is seeming to point back to the locust plague though - very good storytelling to have it all link back to one place, though I shouldn't expect any less from this show. Generally looking forward to seeing where we'll go from here.
