The Dark Romance Episode 4

False identities and family betrayals

Yan Ling is taking her son home to have a proper goodby for his godmother. She calls Dr Luo about his pet because she doesn’t want to take it along. He pretends he is in another location still seeing patients. The cab driver looks at him telling bold lies. Yan Ling agrees to take the hamster and leave it with her friend’s parents. At the memorial service, the fake bf shows up. He has another story all set up to account for his fake name, profession, etc. Yan Ling doesn’t believe him but he has things too conveniently lined up in away that can’t be contested, even tho something feels off with all the new information. The friend’s parents have accepted their daughter’s house has been seized and have moved into a much older rundown place. I am glad that the more the cop investigates, the more ambiguous the bf gets. He can’t be tied down to any particular name and nobody has his photo. The guy they did track down with the right name has been in a coma over a month so it’s no way that he is the guy. There is a money scam being tracked down and the bf’s name has popped up with others who scam people out of their money thinking they are investing rather than simply transferring from their accounts to an offshore account. Waiting to see how this pans out when the officers swap information. Yan Ling’s mom is as bad or worse than Dr Luo. She forces her daughter to visit an ‘uncle’ that has been paying her pension but sexually assaulting Yan Ling. She is so disgusted she tosses her coat in the trash from him touching her. Dr Luo does this and does a deep dive into the uncle. He knows Yan Ling’s history but not the woman who beat her for being the mistress. It all revolves around whatever happened to her father when he was late coming home. There was an accident and what was once a nice family no longer stayed that way. The guy that had the same tattoo as Yan Ling’s friend beats his wife up for reasons unknown. He makes up lies to the police but she doesn’t bring up charges. He thinks if he is pissed off for any reason he can beat her because he feels like it. It’s revolting and unsettling to watch how these predators groom and take advantage of their victims. It is also disgusting to see how easily they get away with it while the victim is victimized a second time being found guilty of the predator’s crimes and/or actions. We are definitely shown the dark side of human nature and how it is so easily disguised as a professional, a partner, a family member. They look so normal and caring until hidden away privately where they let their dark side be seen.
