I actually really liked Hong Ye's conversation with Tang Yi in this episode, she is genuinely worried about him, and that really comes through here.
I also like her point when she says, "Not every 'I'm sorry' can be exchanged for a 'It's okay.'" I felt that was a very realistic communication thing for her to point out, particularly in a relationship where it's clear that Tang Yi is still seen by people in the syndicate as 'The Boss' and she's still seen as below him in the hierarchy, particularly with the way that Gu Dao Yi keeps her at arm's length. It is true that in a lot of situations where men will just go about doing stupid things and saying sorry afterward and expecting women to clean up the mess for them, I liked Hong Ye pointing this out and still being mad at him.
I find Huang Yu Qi much more shrill/whiny than Hong Ye, who seems to be able to handle herself, but who is just driven to wit's end by Tang Yi's poor choices.
