Loss meet Law

Episode starts with a Tengda banquet where once again Pei watches everybody but him get cash or trip awards. He is back to being low spirited and everybody’s favorite designated driver. Two years elapse and he is still driving people. He meets Law who is a narcissistic megalomaniac and Sima’s son. He is sent with the specific mission of co running Tengda. He immediately takes over and is one of those speakers that think they are charismatic and appreciated by the world at large. Pei has no clue what to do with him but has advised his staff they do not have to comply to his direction if they don’t want to. Xin gets to smirk at them and say Sima is not available for consultation. He likes to repeat English words and wanted everybody to give him English names. Pei of course chose loss.😂🤣 chaos has already started and it’s just with his introduction. His staff do not realize the backer of all their projects is Sima so they are all ready to tell him and son to get lost. Law wants influencers rather than ad campaigns and considers Tengda too old school to be top in marketplace. It’s easy to see why Sima wanted other options for a successor. It will be interesting to see which CEO learns the most from this venture, Loss or Law.

A lot of focus by commenters is on Han Ting's…

A lot of focus by commenters is on Han Ting's failure to disclose his conflict of interest when he invested in Star Technology. This was likely a case of securities fraud. A lot of folks are either defending Han Ting as not needing to tell or ripping him for not telling. But the larger mistake by Han Ting, other than deceiving Ji Xing all this time, is the answer he gave her when she asked if he lover her. He said it depends on what you mean by love. She said love was something that you would fight for and that, when you lost it, made you feel like your world was ending. Han Ting said that to him, 'suitability' and a list of characteristics that might have well defined a transactional partnership were more important. This was a devastatingly awful answer and it showed that Ji Xing and Han Ting were worlds apart in understanding what love is. Han Ting makes the mistake of thinking of love as transactional. That it is a matter of give and take in measure. Ji Xing understands that it is not so. And while she gives him several chances to come clean about his deception and to show understanding of what he's done, he refuses. Indeed, he insults her and yells at her. He demonstrates clearly that he does not understand that love is not transactional. This extreme difference in mindset actually makes him "too scary" for Ji Xing. And so she has to leave him. Only by experiencing life without his love (her) will Han Ting learn that she is right.

Uno reverse to the villains

From my observation and memory, season 3 has a vibe mixed of both seasons. It has the season 1 violent tone back but the lightheart entertaining schemes of the rainbow taxi team. The most satisfying part was when they pulled a uno reverse card in making the villains of the week fall into their own scam scheme. Seong Cheol pulls out the other paper of the contract telling them to have to pay this amount of money too and he responds to them calling out their bodyguard by calling out his "Kim". Kim Do Gi hopping out after being summoned was pretty funny. I LOVED seeing Go Eun get in on the action by slapping the woman on the villain team. The cherry on top is that they were put into a flooded car they themselves messed around and were stuck driving nonstop because of their own work. It's up to our imagination I guess whether they crashed into a wall or into the river or something. I enjoyed seeing the villains get trolled with a taste of their own medicine.
