[The Kaipullai @thekaipullai]

In the olden days, when ships used to dock in Mumbai, they used to tie their boats to the door at the harbour.

The Sanskrit word for tie is Bandh and for a door, is Dwar. So the place they tied a boat was called BandhDwar.

The word then travelled to Persia and became Bandar or Bunder. Which meant port or harbour

So any place in Mumbai which has the word Bunder in it, was a place where once upon a time boats used to dock.

So the place where boats used to dock and had a lot of sacks in it, became BoriBunder

The port where Palla or Hilsa fish was available became Palla Bunder, which then transformed to Apollo Bunder

The port where the Portuguese traded Horses with the Arabs, became Ghodbunder

And a port which had no particular significance was called Bunder. In Marathi, this became Vandre. Which over a period of time became what we
know today as Bandra

The word Bunder in Mumbai is not just a pointless word.

It actually represents Mumbai's maritime heritage and importance

@prncsszjy This is one of the most beautiful scenes in the series. Initially, I was also getting irritated with yingtao and her obsession with Jiang Qiaoxi. But, the ending is done very beautifully and then it makes sense. Imagine if Yingtao had not chased JQ.

"This scene was acted with such nuance. Jiang Qiaoxi didn’t run when he saw Yingtao, didn’t run when he heard her call his name, didn’t run even when he saw her coming up to find him. He even wanted to step forward and wait for her.

But the moment he wiped his mouth and looked down to see the work uniform he was wearing, that’s when he started to panic and run.

He suddenly realized that he was no longer the Jiang Qiaoxi he once was and not the former golden boy, the pride of heaven.

This is exactly where Zhang Linghe’s meticulous grasp of the character shines. The drastic shift in circumstances would inevitably create a psychological gap, even for someone as strong as Jiang Qiaoxi, there would always be a side of himself he doesn’t want others to see."

@eunwoo_art @CHAEUNWOO_offcl "Would you like me to seduce you? Is that what you're trying to tell me?" these lines were in the song 'Too funky' by George micheal.. so this is the source!

@beri_min I would say forget all that. The slow and meaningless 'Rented in Finland' was such a fun to watch just because of him.

[Lata S @lsunil]

@beri_min Even Prince Yurim from Rookie Historian is a good one. Eunwoo's childlike innocence as the Prince and the sadness in his heart is beautifully depicted. Oh.. he made me cry.
