Reflections

This episode we meet gma. She is hard of hearing and believes flavor for good health is lots of salt. 😂 Shen finds himself welcomed into her home and he can’t refuse. In the next village, the gma and sis of the abducted child are at odds with the entire village by calling them all traffickers. Judge Shen calms them down and has them agree to come back the next morning. That evening Qin and Shen celebrate Gma’s bday with her. Qin makes sure she does the cooking and keeps the salt away from gma.🤣 Shen discovers a child’s drawing on the wall of Qin’s childhood happy family. When he returns to the families fighting over the child, he shows them a video of a young duck that had imprinted on a dog. When he tries a compromise with the boy visiting his biological family for the summer, the arguing continues, as the foster mom and bio sis want no negotiation. Gma, however, agrees. She sees the love her grandson has for the family that raised him. When the other two would not stop arguing and bio sis came at foster mom, the boy charged out to protect his mother. This forced bio sis to see with her own eyes what side he was on. He agreed to visit for the summer because he acknowledged they were all now family. I hope they will become a blended family that will give the boy the best of two worlds. Qin’s Gma gets tipsy after 30yr old wine and they help her to bed. There, she takes both their hands and gives them a Gma’s blessing. Shen sits in the doorway reflecting on his feelings. Qin comes out and they talk. They both reflect on the friend’s failed wedding because neither would give up their career as judge or lawyer. Shen was the one that held the opinion better a little pain now than later when children could be involved. He saw no means for them to have a viable life together without compromising their job requirements, but he also sees his friend pining for the love of his life. Qin recognizes that Shen will become a great judge and move on to a different city. She knows her family is here and she can’t leave her gma. She thanks him for an unexpected wonderful meal and a night to always remember. Here it was the love of family, not romantic love that will make this unforgettable. She recognizes why he feels the way he does and the sacrifices he chooses to make where his life and career are concerned. But for him, this is the first time ever he has wanted the best of both worlds for himself. Shen’s mother has finally seen the judge’s wife, and the judge has recused himself from the other doctor’s case. That is a win/win. I am glad she got the doctor she really wanted. The other two women judges are teasing each other about children. One judge finds herself pregnant unexpectedly and the other hints of trying for a son but falls asleep while husband gets ready. The family dynamics of all of them are changing as they deal with past and present cases with families and their own circumstances. Shen’s trip gave him a better understanding of his friends’ situation and a desire to not repeat their mistakes and still find a way. I think he was a bit surprised that Qin grasped the whole of their situation before he did. While he is still pondering and wants to be there for her, she already recognizes it as an impossible dream and accepts this night as an exception to the rule. For them to have a moment where careers aren’t the issue.

i might be the odd one out (or as i am late to the party & other's might have had similar thought's - idk) but IMO Than & Typhoon not only got more chemistry, i think their friends to enemies to lovers story, would've been way way more interesting then what we got with Keen (who is a selfish gaslighter) & Than. also we getting a scene at the end of every ep of the mains supposed sexual tension, that amounts to nothing, it isn't just a tease it's a mislead by now & given how dislikeable Keen is (to me) i aint moved in the least by them - just roll my eyes at the fakeness of it all. ****************************************************also i get that Keen has got by in his life making that sad puppy dog face, personally i just wanna punch him - cause he not the only one with a tough life & unlike him others don't lean on everyone - they have to find the strength within themselves to do it all alone. & he on top of this is a user, so hard for me to root for this type of character.

Twins and kidnapped boy found after decade

Qin and Shen did a good job questioning the client. Turns out she was the identical twin of the client and making bargains with the soon to be ex. Qin got the real sister on the phone and the case handled properly. While Shu congratulated Shen a the rewards of good partnering, they overhear Qin getting fired. She works very hard for her efforts to be pro bono. She keeps getting taken advantage of but I also think her penchant for lying gets her into these messes. Shen has figured out how to get her home for Gma’s bday. She hasn’t been home in a very long while. This case is a boy that was abducted and found ten years later. He wants to stay with his foster family, but when he sees his gma and sister, the memories overwhelm him. He runs out of court and the foster family takes him with them. Judge Shen plans to visit and turns out Qin is on the same plane. She offers to be tour guide while he’s there.Fei is now even more reclusive. She hides in a cupboard til she feels safe to come out. It is heartbreaking. I really hope to see her have a positive breakthrough from the PTSD before drama ends. I am glad the judge’s wife is not going to that doctor. His ethics are questionable and Imwould not want one that deals for medical favors as trustworthy to operate.😝 Waiting to see Qin and gma reunion. That has been a very long time coming.

the mother really saved this episode

my feelings switched a lot as this episode progressed. hyuga always stuck out in the group in a bad way ，he basically had zero defining features & played toward nothing. which is why the idea of him having a drift story+line where he tries out his own path was a great idea but their conflict didn’t really feel rooted in anything. they started fighting because he had a bad attitude that’s literally it. it wasn’t building turmoil of not having a place in the group he just was being stank ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ next concern was his mother. i feared that she wouldn’t get to have a meaningful moment with her son & then i find out she gets the best development the entire fucking episode. she was pretty satisgying but hyuga. . . . ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ we really don’t learn anything about him. we don’t get to understand why he feels the way he does to his mother. ucchi’s episode with his mother meant something. it showed us how sweet these kids really were. here he just has some weird moral conflict & acts a little dumb

Ally in disguise

I love Market Master. 😘 He had a plant inside. Si Ma Yang 🥳 He did well acting the traitor. I should have caught it since things always turned out in YuCi’s favor in spite of evil intentions. Yu Ci tore her office to shreds and LiangLiang liked strolling over all of it. She reveled in her triumph to wreak havoc again for YuCi and Chen Mo. she had his file and him on the way for her final triumph over her nemesis. When YuCi looked at her with lucid eyes, LiangLiang lost it. She was all kinds of crazy. There was her subdued subordinate recording everything with police on the way rather than waiting to take the fall for her devious act. LiangLiang was never really equipped for a pawn to fight back. She always believed wholeheartedly she was the puppet master. I liked seeing the wife overhear Jiang’s phone call. Hopefully this will inspire her. Jiang accepted the news without a pause. He wasn’t implicated so he can continue as planned. Gma Bai will most likely join him. I wonder if MuRan’s mother still lives there now that there is no heir. Gma protected her label well. The company is thriving. But what good is that if she is the last? I am hoping to see her visit LiangLiang in lockup. I wonder if her fancy lawyers can fight this or if she will tell LiangLiang to admit her fault and not embarrass the family. She felt the ominous vibe with the storm. So who is really experiencing 21 grams of fear? LiangLiang looked like a broken doll in the police car. She was so deliberately vile I found I didn’t really feel anything for her. I think the world is a better place with her locked up. I knew since the first flashback of the kid with the brick that it was most likely his parents that died in the fire. Rao was careless with all his choices. He did not get a professional to handle the repairs, that was a fire waiting to happen. He locked the factory without checking for employees. He deserved all the public outrage he received. I wonder if YuCi knew? She tended to do deep dives on everybody. It was the only way to stay safe. It is also why I feared he might be the one to show up as an additional enemy for her. I am relieved that doesn’t seem to be the case. No matter what, she has to stay distant til Jiang falls. There is no choice in the matter. Market Master warned her that LiangLiang was the least dangerous enemy. I am not sure how invested Gma really is, but it is damned sure Jiang is going to claw upwards til his last breath. It is simply who and what he is. Now we see how willing he is to get his hands dirty when it might be more public. His creed of burning bridges sounds great til you need one. I am still wondering why LiangLiang even brought wanting to know her mother into her diatribe. She determined since age 6 her mother had no use and only put her in one haphazard living arrangement after another. She followed Jiang’s creed of burning all bridges, and then had the temerity to wonder why she wasn’t accepted and her efforts always fell short. She never noticed the crazy flash in her eyes and mannerisms that tainted her efforts and only made her a stepping stone for people of like ilk. She was always only going to be one of the later bridges burned. Jiang is running out of underlings. The circle is smaller now and waiting to see who is next to fall.

the premise is interesting but the start was…

the premise is interesting but the start was stupid & not stupid funny - it was bad. as bad as (JJ) Khun/Klao's acting - the only saving grace is that he's goofy. but still bad. & idk why this a running theme in some BL's i've watched Duang with You being another one where the supposed bff is worse then an enemy. like why would anyone want to remain good friends with character's like Jamie, Pae & here Thi???? with friends like them u genuinely don't need enemies. i don't find their behavior cute or funny. *************************************************************************************************************************anyway 1st ep & i aint hooked but still hanging around hoping this gets better, once the story start to develop & we get a better idea who is against whom & what's what.
