Lady Liberty Episode 22

Cutting ties

Fan is very proud of himself for stirring up so much publicity for his company. He doesn’t even care about fallout til He Han says…oh by the way I’m ending my story in three days. Dai pushes his ass out the door and then has a chat with He Han. Her volume and speech speed very similar to Lin’s with this chat. She has had enough of his childish behavior. She is not happy about losing her job either, but she sees her time and efforts wasted for him to toss it all. Whatever the secret is with Phantom Knight, only Lin He Han and Ma know. Lin is willing to follow through and straighten things out but He Han doesn’t want it. Later Lin follows suit when they meet. Her actions have not coincided as a great bastian of editors because neither of her number ones want to deal with her when she’s on a rampage. He Han has always demonstrated a scorched earth preference with himself so I don’t know why she is surprised. What was surprising are the lengths he went to to help her out. However, the consequences of his assist always tended to undermine things for the long term. He wants to be done with it all and start over. Whether he’s successful or not, he and fate will decide. Dai is ready to wash her hands of him and rightfully so. Fan thought he was so cunning and he has put her in a bad place because he just had to find a way to exploit an author for another dollar. Zhao and Ling are having a champagne toast celebrating their new author SanSan. These two might actually manage to end up on top at the rate the others are going with drama. I feel sad for GuYan’s gf who has been nothing but supportive of him. She asks him directly about his choices and responds directly with her options and preferences.GuYan is like Bei in that aspect. He considers Lin like a wife and wants his gf on the side. I really hope they let his friends become a couple and they get to live a good life together. Her love is true, so I am not sure she will be able to dim it anytime soon, but their mutual friend will be willing to wait and find out. That is where he and the legal assistant are willing to do whatever it takes to prove their love even tho not returned. Ms Zhao has won as the most understanding editor but she again is not the one wanted. That is where she and GuYan’s gf are similar with the one they have affection for. Lin throws GuYan a bone expecting him to be happy she accommodated him. I liked her surprised look when he said thanks but no thanks. He is already juggling two projects. She is just unaware he is new find SanSan. I am curious how his new book is going and wished to hear more about that than all the drama. Mei came back prepped to fight for her job and instead learns she is getting promoted. I like her double talking bestie and that she has a safety net for him to keep him from being relocated. I don’t like Mei’s penchant for married men, but I do admire her business acumen and self preservation skills. When she can be total shark to her colleagues I have no clue why she can’t turn that on with her mom and be free of her. Maybe she keeps that tie as penance for her man choices. This episode was loud and loaded with drama. The only thing that really grabbed my attention was wondering about how well SanSan wrote and how Mei holds her own at her job while falling apart everywhere else. They keep pushing the three gal roomie scenes which annoy me greatly rather than filling us in on the exploits of Zhao and Ling. I would have liked to seen their response to his first chapter. This is where the rubber meets the road for GuYan. This is the story he wanted to be a part of. This is where his true potential will reveal itself. Will he sink or swim? Can he thrive best where Lin isn’t? This is where Zhao has to prove to him he can. She has been the only one to actually see him and respect the direction he wants to write. Now to see if she pulled it off.
