Mr Rui to the rescue💪🏻

I love Daniel’s band. They are such a nice smooth jazz ambiance. He and Tan have a chat about career choices. I liked that he encouraged his son to explore multiple paths to their fullest. He is a very good dad. MiYu is putting in the hours with a cot by her desk. The exhibit looked stunning until the end where the painting was missing. MiYu tries to save the day with a different painting but arrives late. Rui caught the thief in the act and knew the night before who took the painting and where it was hidden. I thoroughly enjoyed him looking over the thief’s shoulder and pointing out painting not there. He and Ji had worked out a plan prior to the teleconference, so they were delaying things til last minute to get everybody responsible at the same time. Well, it is now fact that ZhenZhen will sabotage her own projects if she can point the blame at MiYu. She let in a press crew that was not on invite list because of Wei’s stamp. They proceeded to snap a lot of pictures and demand to see the final painting. They even tried to say it wasn’t finished yet. Wei and cronies were all there expecting to placate the crowd and make Ji look bad. What they did not anticipate was for the painting to be brought out and for Ji to introduce it with some tongue in cheek shade at the saboteurs. This was followed up with Qian getting scapegoated for stupidity. There was circumstantial evidence that pointed strongly at Wei, but he is Mr teflon not letting things stick to him. He always has someone he can push into place to take the blame. This was disappointing for everybody. The three stooges lack finesse but they are deep rooted in networking trouble. I will be glad to see them ousted. What did not set well with MiYu was being left out of the loop. Tan had taken a 2 million hit to have the exhibit there and she did not appreciate them being pawns in the race for GM. With this, I think she had a right to be totally pissed off. Ji and MiYu have had words and at least she is suggesting a cool down period rather than continuing the argument when most heated. Ji apologizes to Tan and will update him when everyone responsible has been charged. Tan tries to insert some unsolicited advice that Ji doesn’t want to hear. At the celebratory dinner, Tan should have had his ex join him on stage not MiYu. Her commiserating toast with the aid spoke volumes. MiYu was rather stunned but with this, Tan was giving Ji a message more than MiYu. I want to see ZhenZhen get some repercussions for letting in the press group that caused so much bad publicity. I am glad that the exhibition was an overall success but Ji loses cool points for not letting the others in the loop. That was pure ego.

New project — art exhibition

I really loathe the three old farts sitting there wanting their own hotel to do poorly to keep lining their pockets and paving the way for Kuanli. I don’t really get that they prefer money over legacy so easily. Wei has made Qian dump all worthwhile projects because they are trying to make sure Ji misses the VAM deadline. Wei is still the childish boy lamenting Ji passing him by actual work.😝 I wish his aunt was watching the good ol’ boys club and put them in their place for being childish and petty. These men are middle aged and should be so over this juvenile behavior. It would be interesting if this project could get Tan and ex talking. Tan still has a crush, but there is merit in Purong holding the exhibit. The venue gives all the ambiance and history meshing old and new that suits the theme of his works. Qian has put ZhenZhen in charge of everything but dealing with Tan so that he can sabotage the exhibit. Rui noted the flakey engineering guy hanging out by the portrait storage room and I hope he pays attention. Here I don’t know if ZhenZhen will let her project be deliberately sabotaged or not. She is proud of her work and wants to look capable and professional. I am hoping even with Qian doubling down on dumb for Mr Wei that the exhibit succeeds in spite of them. At the dinner celebrating the collaboration MiYu gets to meet Tan’s ex. She is checking out the crush and so is Ji to Mr Tan. There is an under current of marking territory but things are staying cordial. If they can prevent sabotage this exhibit would truly benefit all parties. I hate the foreboding wait til tomorrow to find out what happens.

cute 1st ep, at 1st when i saw the MC's…

cute 1st ep, at 1st when i saw the MC's haircut i was genuinely baffled as to why, but either i have gotten used to it by now or it has grown on me, cause now i think it fitting her quirky personality. was planning to wait until this got completed but couldn't wait & enjoyed this 1st ep. ***********************************************************************************************************even though her little brother is a little sh*t, some how that it the typical sibling dynamic when there is an age gap & they r different sexes. not that if he was a little sister he wouldn't/couldn't be as diabolical. but this seemed fitting & somehow endearing in a funny way.

i must admit i don't get what went down…

i must admit i don't get what went down between the brothers, or rather i didn't understand what exactly they agreed too. still have a feeling that Kuji just allowed his older brother to do what he wants & he went along with it. even if he didn't hear the conversation between the brother & his wife & felt guilty. his personality is so nonconfrontational i think he would go along to get along just not to make waves. & it bothered me as he has been in that house alone since their fathers passing & every nook & cranny has memories & the life he shared with his father in that place. so i hope he isn't being taken advantage off. not that i think we will get more on that whole subject. time will tell - but love Azuma he is such a mood & just being with him is such a positive vibe. like that slowly Kuji is not just getting used to his presence in his life he is opening up to him.

The pace of the plot has really picked up nicely the last few episodes

This episode continues with the same, "let's keep it moving forward" pace of plot advancement that kicked in during episode 27. This episode sets aside FL's mom for a moment and focuses more on a couple of the 'other' moms in the drama: Mao Mao and ironically Zhang Pei Sheng (who may be the worst mom in the whole show, but she is a mom). Side- mentions to all the moms in the the day-school and the teacher, of course. Along the way, we finally reach a reckoning point with that snarky concierge, Liao Gang. After giving him chance after chance, Mai Chenghuan finally has to dismiss him. Yay!!! And on the Yueda front, Zhiming pulls an ace out of his back pocket to trump card Zhang Pei Sheng's attempts to undermine him,

Miss Song

Oh this poor girl. Zhuo tells her something nice once, and now she's likes him, and reminisces about all the times they interacted like they meant something. Someone save this delusional girl lolll. Also love the cliché scene where it's like some randos talking crap loud as hell about the MC's. Ugh LOVE that Sang Qi is a pro but I hate that women always have to prove themselves >:( Ummm okay the whole birthday prank thing was a little weird and made me a bit sad lol but i guess he does like being goofy too much sometimes 🤪😓💔 and it's a crime-- OMGGGG WHAT is going on?!??!?! Yan Yan super angry, getting arrested!!! and stupid Song comes around talking shit to Lian Pian like WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS?!?!?!? Things are getting serious now, I was so used to the cutesy happy stuff I forgot real crimes are being committed. Omg sorry but I laughed when Lian Pian started yelling at Official Yan. AYOOOOO the ending of this episode took a HUGE TURN!!!! The acting is INSANELY GOOD, I loved Sang Qi acting as the prisoner, and Deputy is terrifying and cunty?????? Ugh I love how hot the ML is. Great episode, it really could've been nominated for an Oscar.

Terrible, way out of what the series leads us to expect

What a terrible episode! Out of nowhere, Nanno starts testing people’s character without any initial reason? That makes no sense at all compared to what we already know about the universe. Plus, she’s judging the episode’s main character for something he might do in the future (but hasn’t done yet)?? I thought the episode was weird, very different from what we’re used to seeing from Nanno. Not to mention Sky’s character, who shows up just to die at the end for no reason at all!!!The series as a whole almost gets there, with some really good episodes, but the latest one is terrible...Still hope to see a second season becoming true

Watching the first episode and it's like…

Watching the first episode and it's like what?! What an interesting choice of pacing. They tried to move fast but there is so much to unpack/lay the foundation with, so this first episode ended up being quite weak as an introduction, despite very emotional scenes....[spoiler alert/complaints]- There are a number of information that are not adding up. Maybe these would be cleared up in the future. But for now, it provided confusion to the audience.- Lynx finally found out about the reason his grandpa and his mom stopped talking/contacting each other. The reason was quite impactful and we did not really get to see Lynx's real-time reaction to that revelation. As an audience, I do not understand why Lynx's emotion at that moment was ignored just like that. And we could/would learn more about Lynx through this as well. We could have had a better emotional connection with Lynx if the pace was different...- There is no way that Tiger is allergic to cats.
