Lady Liberty Episode 18

Between a rock and a hard place

Everybody was happy with He Han’s chapter except his editor. She is asking him how he will help bail Lin out next time? Whose name is he going to use? Fan is holding up the contract. He is so close to see the pair he really wants to do business with. But right before update, GuYan submits his own work. After a lot of deliberation, Lin chooses his chapter over He Han’s. Once he hears the news he is put out and sulking. He invested a lot of time, but I see it as karma for the way he demoralized the younger author. He just got to remember what that feels like. As for the assistant, if they booted her out entirely I would not miss her. She is shrieking, moaning, whining, or asking stupid questions to her roomies. I want her fired and out of Lin’s house. He Han feels sorry for her, but he helped create her with his indulgent behavior. He keeps her just close enough to bask in her idol’s presence and he gets some serious hero worship. She had no right to inform GuYan about who wrote the chapter, and even less her comparison opinion. She can get off her damn pedestal and find a new job. GuYan is just as annoying. His test over who appreciates him more caused a lot of people serious grief. He still puts his relationship with Lin at a personal rather than employer level. He Han needed taken down a peg but would Lin have kept GuYan thinking she wrote the chapter? GuYan is creepy because he wants a redo of HeHan’s early career. That’s just bizarre. In spite of his preferences, Ms Zhao has been the only one honest and up front with him. She really is his best option. Then we go to Zhou Mei and Bei where she basically wants to know if he has more companies. She still wants to hang on to him while it is clear he wants to manipulate her under the guise of being the great benefactor. If she loves him, is it simply because he is unavailable? He covets her, but like a trophy. He wants her on his shelf at his pleasure and no one else can admire her. She should just give up men entirely until she figures herself out and cuts ties with her mom. Her young lawyer loves her warts and all but I have no idea if she can accept a love that is pure and for her alone without being a stolen moment from someone else. I hope he succeeds in breaking her tie to Bei and I hope he finds love whether or not with Zhou Mei. GuYan is in full tantrum mode in Lin’s office. She finally tells him to shut the hell up and get writing. Her recollection of awards night is selective because she was too busy trying to save her ass with Fan’s contract. Where she fails GuYan is not being open and honest with him. She skirts the He Han issue without really addressing it and being sure he understands. He needs it in juvenile language where it is not subject to interpretation. He Han is now his father with the booze. He sticks up for assistant but Lin has the right of it. She was an employee for a different editor and company. Because she lives with Lin she was privy to too much and went far beyond the scope of her job to try to fix things. She is young and allowed to be immature to a degree, but as a top editor assistant, she wasn’t following company guidelines but her own. She needs to get far away from Lin and HeHan and work for a completely different company where she does the job and not insert her opinions or extra missions to assist in matters she is not responsible for. He Han and Lin finally have it out and while my adrenaline is up because of the yelling match, I am beyond caring about any of them. It is one big playground fighting match with all of them. The only grown ups of the group are the assistant lawyer and Zhao. These two have objective eyes and see the lay of the land for what it is and fight for it unapologetically. Lin is in her office depressed over HeHan. She should be hovering her prodigy and focusing on her company. He Han is a man child but no longer her responsibility. As much as he loves her he can’t stand her meticulous ways. He is trying to down a fifth and will most likely pass out or poison himself before he accomplishes it. There are still way too many episodes to go to be this fed up with these characters. For now, the assistant lawyer is the one that has my attention.
