Go East Episode 5

Campaign to clear Wei name

The murderers were exposing the governor’s role in framing Wei for a rebellion. They would have been successful if Yuan Mo hadn’t been so observant. Minister Tan came to get them and things got more interesting when it was discovered he had motive to be a participant in dealing with the governor. He was the friend trying to help get Wei’s case reopened and name cleared. A set of bookends and the house chosen for governor betrayed him. Yuan Mo connected the dots and now there is a chance that justice will finally be made for Wei tho posthumously. Yuan Mo’s history finds him to be the son of an envoy who was stationed in the desert where he and his wife were killed. This left Yuan Mo alone to grow up by himself and explains the chip he has on his shoulder for all things serving the needs of the country. He is immediately tuned into the hypocrisy of it all and easily notes the pretense of things because of his bias. He is wanted for a promotion and Yuan Mo is less than enthused. The larger cases have been making the west court more noticeable and at the end of the episode the masterminds pulling the political strings are taking note. I am enjoying the humor and detective work of the drama. It goes at a good pace. I also enjoy the banter of AShu and Yuan Mo. Yes, she is incredibly bossy, but I think that is a nice counter to Yuan Mo’s laziness. He is forced to make more of himself than just lie around drinking and taking bribes. He is being forced to develop his potential by being wedged between her bossiness and Wang’s meticulous attention to detail and discipline. He is being literally whipped into shape. 😂🤣
