Across the Ocean to See You Episode 37

Now BOTH romances are infected by Noble Stupidity

Wow. The show-writers have now doubled-down and infected the Tang Ming + Yan Xiaoqiu romance with the dreaded 'noble idiocy' trope. And through the use of one of the worst, stupidest scenes I can recall in recent dramas. Shan Shan threatening suicide to get her way ..... and succeeding!!!! Yan Xiaoqiu bizarrely gives up her love for her sister and insists Tang Ming turn any love he has for her towards her sister. - as if that makes _any_ sense whatsoever! That has to be one of the dumbest things I've ever seen. And in the main couple thread, despite paying off Chen Jiaming's debts, he still manages to torment Su Mang more and she sinks even further into her already deep spiral of noble idiocy, running away from Zheng Chu upon the reveal that her baby is from an anonymous sperm donor!
