It's a Really Nice Follow-Up

With this episode, we finally get a feel for the past relationship dynamic between Yi Zi Tong and Jin Yu Zhen and an insight into Yi Zi Tong's actual nature. It also showed more of Shi Lei's part in the plot to force Jin Yu Zhen to break free of his past and act on his love for Shi Lei.

So it was sweet, and illuminating. It rounded out Yi Zi Tong's character nicely. And it did so in an interesting way. It was also nice to finally have complete context for the accident Jin Yu Zhen had been in. We finally get a more complete feel for why he acted the way he did, early in the series.

All the acting was on par with the main series, as were the production values. It was really a nice fix if, like me, you were already missing the characters. Aaron Lai especially does a super job here playing pre-traumatized Jin Yu Zhen, who was so different than he was for much of the series. The final scene before Yi Zi Tong departed for America was heartbreakingly well acted. And I worried it was just a bit traumatizing for Aaron Lai to act out a car accident so soon after the one he had in real life.

It also left me really eager to see what roles Aaron Lai and Hank Wang respectively get up to next.

This was overall a nice, tasty treat that neatly closed the story. Like with the rest of the series, my only complaint was that there just wasn't more of it to enjoy.
