You Are My Glory Episode 15

So predictable.

Well, as I predicted while enduring the over-the-top sad mess that was the Guan Zai gets sick plot line, the writers turned the supposedly brilliant Yu Tu into a complete idiot who learned the completely wrong lessons from watching what his friend's family went through. He should have learned that it is a mistake to bottle things up and hide things from your loved ones. He should have learned that it is your loved ones who will be there for you to help you when you are in trouble. He should have learned that loving someone isn't about avoiding the pain but rather enduring it for the sake of love. Because all those things were actually on display in the Guan Zai plot line. But the writers contrived our hero to become an idiot who only noticed the pain and sadness that Shen Jing was experiencing. Never did he ask her if she would choose otherwise because if he did, she would have told him, "No". And the idiotic inability to understand how to balance work and life is just stupid. Yu Tu has turned what should be a plus-plus combination into a ridiculous either/or equation. The writers have made YuTu into someone who is so self-absorbed that he fails to have the empathy that would guide him to NOT HURT THIS WOMAN THAT HE CLEARLY LOVES. He seems oblivious to just how much pain he just caused her this night, which should have been her happiest. I get it. This is episode 15 and the show wants to keep the lovers separated for a little longer for 'dramatic purposes' and now we will have an arc that eventually brings them back together. But I just wish the writers would not resort to making characters be so absurdly stupid in order to do that. Because the YuTu that the writers have created is simply not an attractive, healthy human that any sane woman should want to have a relationship with. Now they have to contrive ways to completely transform him from this jerk back into a likable human. And that contrivance will likely be as hard to believe as the above transformation that got him here.
