Hey everyone! Here it is - my reaction to episode 14 of The Apothecary Diaries! OMG YAY! We got to see all our old friends again! Also the "lesson" looked so fun and interesting haha and Jinshi trying to sneak around and hear it was hilarious! I'm not sure what to make of the new Pure Consort yet, same with our monocle character, but I guess we'll see! Also Maomao's back at it with the mysteries in this one! Great ep! Enjoy! ~ MH

Hi Hime :) The people introduced that you should keep an eye on are the tall maid and the man with the monocle. But I can already tell you that he's going to give you a hard time. Jinshi is definitely in jealousy and "no one touches my Maomao" mode, which is kind of cute, when you remember that as Ah-Duo's son, he's 18, while the person known as Jinshi is supposed to be 23. For the "lesson", I knew it would make you smile because it was my case. Maomao reveals all her knowledge, for the happiness and embarrassment of the courtesans lol. As for the explosion, even if it didn't happen to me personally, I had already heard about dust explosion in another series (impossible to remember which one though). I had even given this ability to one of my OCs, so I had made the connection pretty quickly when I saw this episode too. And for Lihaku, we will see him again, we already see him in the intro credits flexing after all.

“I don’t know who that person’s name is, I just know it began with an L.” Us: “That really didn’t narrow it down that much…”😅 Anyway her name is Loulan. Maomao has a… unique perspective on the art of “pleasure,” as you put it: first, she is shall we say… intimately familiar with how the human body operates - it’s part of why she’s so good at her job. She’s also had a firsthand look at the business thanks to her sisters. What this basically is, is her finding an applicable use for what she has to offer. The reason she’s in this position, much to Jinshi’s bemusement, is that not just one, but two of the emperor’s top ranking concubines asked for her by name. Gyokuyou and Lihua both clearly hold her in high esteem. Poor Lishu though, Maomao keeps spouting all this stuff matter of fairly, and she keeps passing out. It was already established earlier that Lishu isn’t being asked to fulfill those types of duties, but still - that’s a lot to process for a young girl. As for Loulan, there’s really no reaction that Maomao was able to read. There’s a line of dialogue from a movie series I liked when I was younger and it applies here: “You know, does trouble just go looking for you?” “It does pretty much seem to know where I am, yes.” Maomao decided to stay put and not get involved and yet somehow she still got involved. It’s been established the man with the monocle is named Lakan. And he was looking at something at the scene before Maomao got there, but said it wasn’t important… Maomao’s a cross between several different detective shows at this point and nobody really ever pays attention to her until it’s too late. In this case, she also blew up a room which is why she knew about the flour so hey, you might have more in common with her than you might think. For such a “peaceful” empire, how’s she keep finding herself in these situations? Also, smoking can definitely be… hazardous to one’s health? Don’t know how quick I’ll be able to get to the rest of the week, I have obligations that need to be filled. If not, I’ll finish those reactions up when I get back. :)

Hello Melissa, we have now reached the second part of the first season of the Apothecary's Diaries. First of all, I'm glad to hear that you like the new opening and ending. Personally, I like them even better than the ones from the first part. I can't tell you exactly why. Visually, the first opening was of course really great to look at, but I didn't think the song was quite as good and in the second opening, I thought both things were super beautiful. And the second ending has so much more emotion between Maomao and Jinshi. I love how the ED shows how happy and carefree jinshi is with maomao. We've also seen in the two episodes that Maomao is now more or less working for Jinshi. And I think he's quite happy to have her even closer to him than before. He also gets jealous very quickly, as we've seen, and is desperate to protect her from the eyes of other men. Because I think he knows first-hand what it's like when someone you don't really like desires you. I keep thinking about it, because Maomao has often mentioned it himself, how many people actually like Jinshi, both men and women. And he doesn't really want that and actually hates his pretty appearance. I think he likes Mamao so much because she can see his true character traits beyond his handsome looks. And he's actually a totally sweet boy who doesn't get enough friendly attention and that's why he's thrown himself at her so much, so he can get as much of her attention as possible. Even if it's not always positive attention. I agree with you 100% that I would absolutely watch a 30 minute episode of just Jinshi, topless. Although this is coming across creepy now, I would even buy the aphrodisiac Maomao would have wanted to make from his scent. 😅🤣 This episode also introduced you to three new, very important and interesting characters. These include Lakan, the still nameless servant and the new concubine Lolan. I think apart from Gyokuyou, all the concubines now start with L. Which makes it really difficult to tell them apart. In future episodes you'll find out a lot more about these three characters and I'm excited to see how your perception of them will change. I found the lesson Maomao had to give to the concubine very amusing. Although it was never said exactly what she was teaching, you could tell from the expressions on the other four ladies' faces what exactly she was teaching them. Of course, Jinshi was also interested in this kind of thing. You could have guessed that, he is a young man who is constantly surrounded by very pretty women, even though he is missing important parts for certain things. That doesn't necessarily mean he's uninterested in such stuff. The fact that we saw Lihaku again was also a positive surprise, because I really like his character. He brings a bit more comedy to the show. He's a good counterpart to Maomao's more cat-like character and he's more of a golden retriever type of guy. And of course we have another mystery for Maomao to solve. You'll find out later how this relates to other events.

Hi Spadeas! :) That's just how I felt watching this ep, that I should keep an eye on them both! I love jealous Jinshi lol! Ahhhh ok, that's what I was thinking earlier on, that the ages of him and his persona wouldn't match. Oh I wonder which series you're thinking of with the dust! ^_^ What a cool ability for your OC! Yeah I think you're right about Lihaku. It'll be interesting to see how far the little romance they're building for him goes haha!

Hey Leonie! I'm so glad you like the opening and ending too! I agree that the visuals add a lot! I really love the first ones but these might even be better imo! I love the shot of the two of them too! I love Jinshi being protective/jealous, and that's actually a great point that he understands how it is to be objectified somewhat. I love that Maomao sees past the charm/looks and that's part of why he likes her so much! OMG we would both be glued to that Jinshi ep :P And OMG the scent hahaha!!! Honestly, with all these up and coming anime candle companies, I'd totally expect that to be a scent you can buy :P Oooh thanks for the name info! I'm sure it'll take me a while with all these l names haha but I'm looking forward to getting to know them better! Hahahaha the lesson was so funny, all they had to do was imply for it to be funny! True, you can see that Jinshi's curiosity is pretty piqued here lol! I was happy to see Lihaku again too, and it's cute that they're building sort of a crush/romance for him with the princess! I love golden retriever types haha! I can't wait to know more about the mystery!

Hahaha there's so many l names! Thanks for the info! That's true, Maomao not only learned from her sisters, but has all the biology/chemistry background too. Seeing their reactions to Maomao's lesson was so funny! And I'm glad Lishu isn't erm, active in those duties, but yeah, at 14 I think that would be WAY too much info to handle! That's a very applicable line! Maomao always gets involved! Ok cool, thanks for the name info. Hahahaha aside from the whole super sleuth thing, I'm totally like Maomao because of my flour incident! Yeah the empire isn't all that peaceful when you scratch beneath the surface!

I agree that Lishu is too young for "visits" from the emperor, but the girl that is teaching the material is only a couple of years older than her.
