You Are My Glory Episode 17

Treading water and wandering in the woods.

This episode is mostly treading water for Jingjing as she pulls back within herself to deal with what happened and YuTu wanders about looking for a way to fix things now that he's starting to realize that it was HE that broke things. Not his job. Not his filial duty to his parents. Not anyone else but HE himself who was the jerk to both women in his past. He's starting to grow up emotionally first with realization that he has an impact on other's emotions and now he needs to find a skill with which to try to fix things. Because up to now, he has no such skills. The best, most powerful moment is when he visits his home and revives and old computer and looks at old group chat messages by Jingjing from way, way back that reveal how hard she was trying to bridge the gap between her and him. The picture those chats paint is a brutal, painful indictment of what a total jerk he was to her and, well, to others as well.. This is a painful moment of enlightenment that he has been an emotional cripple and that he has hurt people because of it. The next powerful moment is a great conversation with his mother who gives him some powerful wisdom by simply reminding him that he doesn't have to be the best at everything.
