I Am Nobody: The Showdown Between Yin & Yang Episode 4

Invitations offered - one accepted one rejected

WangYe is his usual self. 😆He sees pretty much everything but stays apart to study it subtly. He is not happy Zhuge Qing is wanting to stay and has almost talked him into leaving when leader Ma shows up and challenges them with some sidekicks. Here is where we get a direct comparison of Zhuge Qing and WangYe’s moral compasses. Qing is all about what’s in it for him and WangYe is all about keeping everything balanced and all parties safe. What is interesting is the depth of their friendship when they are polar opposites in many respects. Leader Ma has offered them access to the Divine Forge and while Zhuge Qing is intrigued and sorely tempted, WangYe is curious about results but sees the big picture and understands the chaos and disruption this will cause. He strongly suggests Leader Ma ends the project but his warning is falling on deaf ears. He is ready to leave as wholeheartedly as his friend is inclined to stay. WangYe lets the group know that if they are going to take down Biyou to count him in. Here we also find out that Meng is not as meek and mild as he pretends to be. He has the most history with Chen Duo and manages a visit thanks to her dog. He is wanting to know what really happened that caused the death of her mentor. We also learn that Leader Ma has a sis that’s really pulling all the strings and what they hope to achieve with the Divine Forge. I am enjoying the pace and storytelling this season. It is telling a more cohesive story tho not particularly a continuation of season 1. Since I am not familiar with the storyline in actual comic, I don’t find this a bad thing. While significantly less screen time has been given to my favorites from last season, I don’t find the story lacking and am enjoying when they do show up as they tend to have great impact in a short amount of time. I will console myself with quality over quantity screen time this season. To be honest, I don’t miss the silliness factor. That had a lot to do with my indifference to ChuLan’s character. While he is a key element, the overdone comedy often took me out of the story rather than appreciating his character’s input to storyline. I am liking him much better this season.
