The fact that we get another shot of Tang Yi kneeling to kiss MSF's wound is awesome, and makes up for the fact that they dangled the viewers there for a week when they aired it.
Oof, the flashback scene with TY and his adoptive father is hard to watch. Poor little bb TY, and the fact that he's forced out on his birthday night? Poor little thing. 😭
One of the cute behind the scenes facts is that the girl who plays tiny!Hong Ye is actually the sister of the boy who plays tiny!Tang Yi. I think it's just adorable that they cast them like that. The flashback to how TY and HY are discovered by Tang-ye really hits home the age difference between HY and Gu Dao Yi.
The mood is lightened in the next scene by tiny failboat Zhao Zi googling "what to do when a man confesses to another man" on his work computer On his work computer, in an open plan office. I...ZZ, you should know better. naye just walked into the living roo where I am watching this scene, and we both just cracked up again. ZZ is such a special child.
The bestworst best part is MSf's response is "I don't know", instead of something more sensible, like "Wait, why are you asking?" or "Wait, the guy who kidnapped you is now coming onto you? This seems incredibly sketchy, you should watch out." At least ZZ realizes MSF is the most useless best friend ever and lets it drop.
Meng Shao Fei has absolutely won boyfriend of the decade BLARRRRRGH this scene is the absolute cutest. He hand-baked that cake! He went and threw TY a little boyfriend don't-worry-you-have-me-now birthday. MSF is the cutest, and TY has the saddest puppy dog eyes. They went straight from tentatively starting up this being together thing into being a monogamous couple.
As we cut to Ah-De staring at them from below, I do have to wonder how ill-advised it is for a mob boss to live in a house that is floor-to-ceiling glass walls. I know he has a security detail around the perimeter, but that's not going to stop a skilled sniper...
He tries to sexually assault Tang Yi and thank god he does it right by the side of the road and not somewhere more isolated He even leaves the door open, and the car's not properly parked by the side of the road. TY is lucky that he has Jack on speed dial.
A little later, Meng Shao Fei walks in on Tang Yi confronting Ah-De about his actions - Ah-De is defiant and unrepentant. The first few times I watched this scene, when MSF bursts through the door and you see Jack right there, I interpreted that as Jack having brought MSF up to the interrogation room, but now that I'm watching it again, it seems very much as MSF has forced his way through, and Jack was trying to stop him (albeit not terribly hard).
How much of what Ah-De says here, about not being the one who leaked TY's schedule to He Hang do we think is true? Not consciously, maybe, but if He Hang got it anyway from a source that could be traced to Ah-De not being as careful as he should?
I really like how tense this scene, particularly with TY's overpowering emotions and MSF's willingness to actually stand in his way. Their relationship is so new, but MSF is willing to physically drag him away and shove him into walls and be a barrier. Ah, I had forgotten how much I do love these two too.
Thankfully this prompts Gu Dao Yi to finally confess his feelings to her in the parking garage. This is actually a very beautiful scene, and then you remember that it takes place in an underground parking lot and all the romance just goes out of it. XDDDD
Thank you for leading the episode recap posts, you are amazing, Yan!! <33333333333 I am having such a blast!
