Mediation and Justice

Qin did an excellent job getting Ms Liu her husband’s ashes. Shen was a decent assist tho a bit slow on the uptakes. Qin got her in a car to the airport and the greedy sons got to see her treasure. There treatment of a woman that only showed them love and support is reprehensible. It will never really sink in with them what they tossed away, but she has had time to accept her circumstances and return the favor of living a happy life without them. She is at least with her husband and they can be buried in same place when the time comes. She won’t even have to tell the boys where they rest since they have already shown that was never a priority. Shen went to see his Gpa about something but the books interrupted his original purpose. Father and son have minimal conversation but both kept it civil. The father is happy with his son’s experiences in family court. If he is really trying to assist his son’s social interacting, I wish he spent the same amount of time working on his and wife’s interactions. He comes off as condescending and paternal rather than as a caring partner that sees her with equal standing. We get a bit of the history of why the judge retired and turned to cooking. He was supposed to pick up a neighbor’s daughter but dropped her off at an alley instead of seeing her home. As a father with a daughter, that is not sound judgment and the end result was the friend’s daughter was raped. She believes that the one that dropped her off was the guilty party and only Fei was witness to the truth. This is the trauma that has caused her not to speak since it happened. The family with kidney situation have reached a closer understanding. The 100k IOU is the last contentious issue. Both Qin and Shen find themselves looking for the same person. They both are worried that something has happened to him since nobody has been able to actually speak to him in days.

Evidence found

Forensic evidence proved that Shen was innocent and the recording of Qin showed irrefutable proof the man pulled out his own tube. Shen is learning empathy as he reflected on his actions and could he have changed things with more effort. He has also learned some humility being willing to stay away rather than claiming his innocence to the family. His father, he can’t speak nicely to Shen and has his nose in all the court news. He also treats his wife like a child rather than actually listen to her. Shen’s mom gave a class at the court and I wish the one judge would have got his wife in for a consult. When she wants a female doctor and he is looking for cheaper and more convenient. There is a mystery with the woman not getting along with step children. They are as bad as the vultures with elderly man. They threaten her with her husband’s ashes if she doesn’t comply. Is there hidden wealth in the home she knows nothing about? Her husband should have had her more aware of household finances so she wouldn’t be at the children’s mercy now. It is funny that when Shen tried to give Qin a replacement outfit, he kept to his 2 meter rule.😂 And once again, even looking right at him, Qin lies about her whereabouts. I still hate that she does that. There is also a mystery of the son and father with medical treatment. It is looking more like the son needs the transplant and the father wants to be donor. I don’t know if it’s better or worse that Shu has swapped cases. She is now handling the father /son case and he has been handed her case. Qin has a chat with Shen’s mother and fills her in peripherally on what’s been happening at court and why he’s not there. The one thing that shines through is how complex family matters are. I am also wondering if when Shen asked his mom if she is divorcing if he wanted her to or was teasing her? These families show the greed and selfish sides of the relationships when estate distributing comes into play.

what i want to know is how did Sailom's…

what i want to know is how did Sailom's step-father know where he would be, or he just happened upon him cause he too was fishing & does this mean, he also lives in the same city?? if so wouldn't Sailom want to avoid that arear for fear he would/could encounter him? wish we would get more of a back story (& no i don't need more of the gorey details about how he was abused, what we do get is disturbing enough) i mean did he move to the US cause his mother found out? did he tell? r his mother & step father together, & he just left to study? **********************************************************************************************this whole ep from one scene to the next, was a freakin roller coaster ride; Nava is losing his sh*t cause he is dying & cause he finally found love - yet he doesn't know how to break it to Sky & am sure now he is finding the fact that he is gonna die, that much harder to accept cause he finally found love. **********************************************************************************& then we got Dindin, who doesn't have enough on his plate with the loan sharks, now his grandma gotta get sick adding to his financial burden. dude as is working around the clock as is - this freakin absurd. ***************************************************last but not least Nabnueng & his biological mother, that's remembered he exist cause she needs a favor?!?? personally if i was in his place i would've said "u weren't ready to be q mother then & i aint ready to be ur child now" end off - but he looks like a pushover so who knows how this gonna go. *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************all i know this was a draining ep, sh*t just kept going wrong for everyone. but i guess there only 3 more eps left & a lot of ground to cover, so the eps need to be chalk full of drama - aish i need a drink after this ep lol

Good Start but rushed

I have to admit, Episode 1 left me feeling pretty cold and disconnected, which is a shame because the production quality is clearly very high and the overall plot looks genuinely interesting.My biggest issue is how rushed everything felt. They glossed over the couple’s first time, how they fell in love, and the entire beginning of their relationship with just a quick little montage. For my personal taste, that was a huge miss. I really wish the show had taken at least 2-3 episodes to properly establish the couple so we could actually connect with them and feel invested in their bond. Instead, it felt like we were supposed to instantly care about their relationship without ever being shown why.The same problem hit with the big daughter reveal in Episode 1. They dropped it as this massive moment right away, but without any real buildup or time to get to know the characters, it just fell completely flat. There was no emotional weight—no heartbreak, no sense of betrayal, nothing. I kept thinking: why not wait until the end of Episode 2 at least, so the audience has time to connect with these people before hitting them with something that heavy?The series also feels very different from the first trailer. After watching, it almost seems like a completely different show. Usually a scene like the one at the ending would leave me with a terrible feeling in my stomach and goosebumps, but instead I just felt… nothing. I couldn’t connect with the characters because everything was rushed so much.That said, I’m still curious to see more. The plot itself seems promising, and I really hope Episode 2 slows down a bit and makes up for the pacing issues in the premiere. It’s not a bad series by any means — it’s high quality — but right now the story execution and emotional connection to the audience are lacking. We’re being asked to feel things without being properly shown why we should care.

so Nava avoiding the call from the hospital…

so Nava avoiding the call from the hospital & him mentioning death to Sky, am guessing he isn't just sick he is terminal - which is just freakin sad for both guys. they keep mentioning the word "friends" but u don't quit a job for a friend & u for sure don't get jealous for one, when he is doing his job. so am guessing this love-story gonna be a tragic one. unless Nava just isn't getting treatment, as the chance it would help is very low. so he just gave up & accepted his fate. but meeting Sky - who when finding out might push him to get the treatment, that will save his life & happily ever after? one can hope lol *****************************the 2nd couple or maybe it's just Tawan for whom foreplay is fighting?!?? so freakin weird - so he was basically "pulling" Dindin's hair in the hopes they would recreate the 1st night together & as Dindin wasn't "jumping him" he was getting more crazy, out of frustration?? really??? OMG *******************************************************************************************the mains couple (or the 1st couple) am guessing Nabnueng took his time & told Sailom he would be there for him, even though he's not the one that will treat him - is cause he isn't ready to admit that he is interested in him & ethically it wasn't allowed? he's worried he will spook Sailom? or he just isn't ready to confess, either way - it was dragged out & Sailom aint a child, he never heard of this being a no no ??? u don't have to go to therapy to know this fact - or so i thought. *****************************side note: why do i feel like all those children aint blood related & the mother (with her now deceased husband) adopted all the boys.

Sides aligning

YuCi is greeted by a happy dept only for them to find out their projects have again been shutdown. The only time YuCi seemed herself this episode is when talking with TianTian. Tian Tian gave her the pep talk she received. She added that she believed in YuCi no matter what, but for the first time she saw fear in her eyes. Many have resigned and Ren tried to talk Yu into staying. They all know that something is in the works behind the scenes, but none of them are being included. Yu knows the small companies are suffering because the compensation funds don’t begin to pay for the interrupted work. He’s finally had enough. They should have had a better picture of LiangLiang’s mom. It looked like a bad driver’s license photo.😝YuCi gave her the box of letters her mom had written to her. She also confronted her about Professor Han. LiangLiang didn’t want found out about her framing of the professor, so she deliberately distressed him til he died of a heart attack. LiangLiang read through the letters but didn’t accept them. She ripped them to bits and did not claim the love her mother had for her. I still don’t understand why the man that took such good care of her for six years was completely cut out of LiangLiang’s life. It would have been better for her to allow supervised visits than to live with a man she didn’t love and who had no love for her and her daughter. When YuCi and Chen Mo met in the park, he should have started with an apology for recommending she not know the truth of her sister. He was all ready to sweep it under the rug and say let bygones be bygones and let’s move forward. YuCi has accepted her situation and has made peace with it. She left him in the park with no indication she wanted more to do with him. She has done everything possible to remove her heart from her circumstances. She is stronger but empty. Jiang and Gma Bai are forcing Yang Jin Wan into an alliance. They are redistributing funds and resources to make this official. He is dragging feet because the last person he wants to do business with is Jiang. Jiang is pleased there is backlash to his orders and is content he has completely subdued YuCi. The remaining Lysen employees are falling in line. Jiang doesn’t want bothered unless it concerns their alliance so I am hoping that is window of opportunity. This episode revisited LiangLiang’s sordid past and Lysen’s new world order, but it did not tell me the things I really wanted to know. This is going to be a very slow, long haul to the end with a single episode per day.😝

i feel bad for Nava & i shouldn't,…

i feel bad for Nava & i shouldn't, regardless of how he feels he knew from the 1st sec they met, that Sky was a host & he would spend the night literally if not figuratively with the one that spent the most on him. so getting jealous, angry or sad not gonna change the situation, even if Sky reciprocates Nava's feelings. cause he is at his job. ***********************************************& for whatever reason Sky is funding his mother - who has 2 other grown ass sons, so how does she run that bakery/café?!? that a son that works as a host has to help her with the rent?!?? i don't that family dynamic at all & that was before the mysterious lady making the call asking about Nabnueng. he not blood related to that family?!? ***********************************btw mentioning Nabnueng i am very happy he didn't treat Sailom but referred him to the other psychiatrist working with him, cause if he plans to date him, he ethically can't treat & then date Sailom regardless of when they met. but i am happy that finally Sailom took the 1st step if getting help - about damn time. ******************************************************************the 3rd (or 2nd couple) i don't like Tawan, he doesn't work in that bakery/café but a bicycle shop - so Why the frack he always in that kitchen giving Dindin hell & making the life of the other workers miserable?!? cause if i was anyone of those workers, i would convince the others to go on strike & force that mother to take control of her maniacal son, if he works there, he works alone. like f*ck him & that job - there not enough money in the world to put up with his sh*t!.
