I love this show. I bing-watched in 3 days. It is so intriguing and it keeps you up with emotion throughout the story.
I just wanted to reflect on what it wants to tell us, if anything.
I feel like when such heinous crimes and acts are done, we may forgive in the sense that we will not hate anymore. But why do we have to pretend as if it's all back to normal.
MeiMei was willing to let her cousin rot in jail forever, she behaved in the most evil way, she set him up to be wrongly convicted, she betrayed his trust, she was so "happy" in HK, she even threatened to put Yi in jail as well for transpassing, she was not regretful she just worried about not being accepted back: this goes far beyond covering up for her dad, what a disgusting egoist person would behave in such a way? And we have to go back to eat with her as if nothing has happened? I may allow her to live her life, after some period I would stop hating her but we are DONE.
Vegas as well, he was willing to let Toei rot in prison forever.
And it almost looks like they were put on the same footing, or even higher in the case of Vegas, compared to Yi, the only TRUE hero of the story. Who defended his brother and mom while his dad was not doing anything. His fault? Showing that Pete's mom was a killer in order to bring justice. Appearances and what other think over truth, honesty and not letting innocent people be locked in jail for decades. Yi is the best character of the series, a true superbro.
The fact that we are willing to accept everything from relatives is huge moral problem.
