EPISODE REVIEWS

When Maomao revealed the dancer's "stardust" was just crushed insects, my jaw seriously dropped; it was such a simple yet brilliant trick! It totally made me wonder how many other grand illusions in this world are just clever, everyday solutions she'd quickly unravel.

The quiet act of those pregnant sisters with their mirrors in that isolated annex really got to me; it made me wonder if they even cared about the risks anymore, just wanting a glimpse of something familiar, some small comfort to hold onto. I couldn't help but feel a deep sadness for their forced solitude and what it must have done to them.

My jaw totally dropped when I saw that old painting, realizing the Madam was the legendary Moon Spirit from the pleasure district. It makes me think she’s been carrying the weight of that past fame all this time, which would explain her quiet, almost distant way of being now.
