Love's Ambition Episode 29

Exciting but flawed episode.

A lot of stuff happens in this episode, some good, a lot of bad. The bad is not completely unexpected as we are reaching near the penultimate episode, which traditionally in drama story arcs is when everything looks the worst for the good guys. So viewers at this point in the series just have to be ready to suffer through one gut punch after another. On the good side of events, Yan and HM definitely are 'in sync' as a couple now and she steps up to help his(her) family. On the quality of the episode, it is uneven. It has a few really bad plot contrivances that are glaring. The two worst, by far, both involve Han Wei Ping. First off, how on earth did HE happen to stumble upon Hao Chen after the latter ran out of the car and went and sat at some random park bench? Second, after Hao Ming & police show up to rescue Hao Chen, how on earth is it that Han Wei Ping is not arrested? He is shown wandering around completely free. That makes zero sense and is a giant, gaping hole in the story. There are a few other annoying plot holes as well (in particular in the way HWP is able to access HM's home, computer & safe so easily) but those two just really jump off the screen as dumb. On the _good_ side of episode quality, the episode ends with some brilliant emotional acting by Yu Lan as she implores her husband to wake up.
