Three Kingdoms Episode 9 Reactions

As Diaochan edges between saving the Han Dynasty (as her father had instructed her) and her at least apparent love for Lu Bu, the latter suffers immensely. We get to see Lu Bu's true face on a few occasions, especially when he rushes to Dong Zhuo's mansion to see Diaochan whilst he attends the court activities. Of course, we might be inclined to make a fool out of Dong Zhuo's behavior (how can he believe that Diaochan would rather be his concubine than Lu Bu's?) but I believe this scene is portrayed quite nicely since what needs to be underlined at this point is a double fact: 1) Diaochan's fair beauty has the power to charm and 2) Dong Zhuo becomes so infatuated with her that refuses to see reason (the usual tale, woman charms man who does folly). Whilst many might hold Diaochan in contempt, I do not, especially since it is quite clear how hard the task it is for her (remember the scene where she wanted to take her life, the first night she arrived at Dong Zhuo's place, but hesitated once she remembered her father's words, knowing that she cannot allow herself to die until the purpose of her sacrifice has been achieved).
Everything is downright political.
I am curious about how Lu Bu is going to handle things, naturally. I wonder if he will succeed (hoping to, but still doubting the fact at some certain level).
