The Epoch of Miyu Episode 30

The lady in red

I don’t care for MiYu’s and Ji’s habit of downing whatever proof in a glass when upset. That leaves them both mind muddled and causes doubts later. In HongKong, Tan knew by her draining the glass she was upset. He would not pass up his chance, but he was not completely surprised at the rejection either. MiYu is ashamed of herself because she knew her actions gave him hope and she regretted that choice. When she returned there was an invite from Marcos to a special gathering. Ji was also invited and MiYu made sure they did not arrive as a couple. Her timing was impeccable because right when he was saying her duties prevented her coming she is the lady in red regally walking down the staircase to meet them. Marcos gently bullies Ji to take her dancing and let her know how he feels, but Ji saw Tang’s txt asking to meet and he’s debating what to do with that. He rescues MiYu from an aggressive wannabe dance partner by posing as her partner and again when her sister’s snobby friend shows up calling her Mrs Nie by correcting her that MiYu was unescorted and came by personal invitation from the host himself. MiYu reintroduced herself with her maiden name so ms snob wouldn’t forget it in future. I liked her being shut up and put in her place but MiYu is again slamming down an entire glass. After an impromptu dance she excuses herself and leaves. Ji is rebuffed in his attempt to accompany her home and he assumes she is meeting up with Tang. And here is where he has his glass of liquid courage. After this, there is way too much screen time invested in a montage of prior episode scenes. The end result is a very steamy night where they finally give way to their passion. Diva Duan is caught by chef again in a vulnerable situation and she again decides to sympathize and make him feel better. In spite of the flirtatious challenge at the end, I’m still not feeling it. I really don’t see them as a couple, but I do see them as close friends in spite of his high maintenance spoiled boy ways. They just understand each other for reasons I cannot fathom. I did enjoy her response about depending on mood while she speeds off on motorcycle leaving him stranded. If they ever did become a couple, it would be like the War of Roses movie.😂 When she is not soft and lifting his spirits, they have far too much fun baiting each other. Ms influencer takes a nose dive when popular opinion wants to cancel her. The board wants to kick her out of her own company. Ji is called to the rescue and the press makes it all seem very intimate. Her reaction to his arrival puts him first in her mind and while he said he sorted where they stood, I would have much rather seen that conversation than all the past scenes they wasted time on. MiYu should not have cut him off when he tried to explain. Since she did, she should have stopped the conversation til she cooled off instead of continuing it with her assumptions of where their relationship stood. He has no reason to give about why no txt to let her know an emergency was happening and he would fill her in later. And after the publicity at the book signing, it was a very feeble excuse that he had no idea how much it would blow up in the media. Ms An has returned from maternity leave and instead of taking the office job they all expected her to take she opts to return to the lobby manager position. MiYu has requested a transfer with her job and Mr Tan has asked if he could pursue her right as the episode ends. My only complaint of this episode is that there was too much time wasted on scenes already watched when we were going to get slammed with third party efforts from both sides. First episode for me rolling my eyes at all the extra drama thrown in to completely negate their passionate scene. I still love her character, but I am not enjoying the forced romance and peripheral entanglements when they could just keep it career heavy with a sweet aside of romance with the promise of passion. I cannot even guess where their story is headed now but I am seated and waiting to see even tho I am not happy with the creative choices hauling them in different directions.
