Hold a Court Now Episode 26

Wrapping things up

Everybody finally met up and sorted. The grumpy old man again😝 it is hard to feel empathy when he is all about attitude before brain with his speech. This resulted in us getting to watch Shen flying over the top of a car rescuing the adult child. This was a very unnecessary device to let us get updates on everybody else. It served to let us watch Qin change flowers and stay by his side at the hospital, but there were so many better ways this together time could have been utilized. They did get around the useless dad and the three siblings will be together however they finally arranged it. Shu and Lian are in a better place and Fei is much better with crowds and communicating. Qin has opted to stay with non-litigation cases so that there will never be a job conflict between her and Shen. Her work in the legal aid office lets her work with people without gimmicks and lets her give back to the community as she chooses. Shen finally wakes up and we head to a retirement ceremony that felt like it lasted longer than Shen and Qin’s dates.😝🙄 It ended the way it should with the judges and that part was satisfactory. What was a bit annoying was trying to force a romance on us without giving it any real substance. They left hope in the future for them to become an actual couple and Shen made a good choice of staying with family court til he feels he has a more rounded sense of justice. He may never decide to move up but the option was left open. I think if they would have kept Qin and Shen bickering back and forth in how to settle court cases, it would have been a better fit for the drama. The tension would have stayed between them but the focus would have stayed exclusively on the cases. The forced couple issue was more a distraction since they were never allowed to be a couple on screen.
