THAT LOOK that Tang Yi has on his face when he goes to dinner with MSF in the pink frog shirt is peak "I'm gonna fuck him." I absolutely love how amused Tang Yi is with MSF's jealousy over Andy. It's such a pity that we never meet Andy's boyfriend, with whom TY says he's even closer with than Andy. (That threesome is looking ever more likely as A Thing That Has Happened.)
The next day Ah De tries to confess his feelings to Tang Yi, but Tang Yi is very clear with him that he only sees him as a brother, thereby breaking his heart. I was under the impression that TY has always known that Ah-De has feelings for him (he's even more obvious about them than MSF), so I presume that Ah-De trying again and TY rejecting him again is a thing that keeps happening, and perhaps has been happening for quite some time now. I got the impression that the only reason TY keeps him around is because he's useful, and well-connected with the rest of the syndicate.
At the police station, Jack turns up to drag Zhao Zi off for lunch OMG...Jack in those sunglasses... *fans self*
Also, the exchange here between Jack and Jun Wei is so hilarious in itself, but so much more funny the second time that Jack comes back. I also love that Ah-Zhi is the one that yanks Jun Wei aside, as if it's TOTALLY OKAY to leave your colleague alone with his abductor from a few days ago, because it's cool, Jack clearly has a crush on ZZ. (OMG, Ah-Zhi and Jun Wei, you guys are the worst coworkers!) I love that Jun Wei's smile is like 'Oh, I get what's happening. Have fun, see ya' later!'
I like that Jack's willingness to show up and wait in front of the police station, as well as approach ZZ when he's hanging out with his work buddies means that Jack is 110% willing to be read as having a crush on ZZ.
and once they're back at Zhao Zi's house I get hit by sudden feelings about Jack wearing Zhao Zi's grandma's apron. I have so many feels about Jack in grandma's apron. When he's asking about it being made for a woman, he's clearly trying to see if there's a female significant other in ZZ's life, but he doesn't mind wearing it, at all. And he looks absolutely adorable and soft in it. (Jack in a pink bear apron is...probably the thing I love most about this show. Badass mafia guy, but cute apron. REAL MEN WEAR PINK.)
(In my notes I accidentally wrote down, "Kenny has never been kissed" - that too, though not for long!) HAHAHAHAAAAAA! Yes, that too. XDDDDDDD
The end of this scene is where I am convinced that Jack goes, "OH NO, I'm actually in love with ZZ."
and Meng Shao Fei agrees because... he thinks Zhao Zi should hit that? I think we have established earlier that ZZ has the best worst colleagues, and they all somehow think that ZZ should hit that, so I guess MSF agrees. ...it's such a bad call, but also such a good call at the same time? UNIT THREE IS A DISASTER, GUYS.
A little later, Tang Yi apologises to Meng Shao Fei on Zuo Hong Ye's behalf. A little later, after Jack says, "Hey, you seem to want to hit that"... #1 TANGFEI FANBOY
Meng Shao Fei is pretty clearly getting turned on by it (he makes this little movement on the bed and, uh, FNARGLE) FNARGLE, and JACK'S VOICE going, "You seem to want to hit that..."
MSF actually accepts it pretty quickly, because the day after he's all like "Yeah, I like your boss, and you suck at fighting" with Ah-De. XDDDD
Oh yeah, quick rewind, since this is also the first time we see Chen Wen Hao...
He Hang hands over some stats on TY, ZHY, and GDY, and you get some info on their birthdays and ages:
Note that official Taiwanese documents use Minguo as the era name and relative years (similar to how Japan does the same), so Minguo 79 is 1990 (Tang Yi's birthday year), Minguo 81 is 1992 (Hong Ye is two years younger than Tang Yi), and Minguo 67 is 1978 (which makes Gu Dao Yi 14 years Hong Ye's senior. I think he's right to be a little cautious with her with that age gap!)
What are our thoughts around the information that Andy passes to Tang Yi in terms of who assaulted and handcuffed him and MSF? Are we in agreement that it was probably He Hang's faction of Xin Tian Meng, who are switching loyalties? I've never quite been able to figure this out...
