Episode 41 was just lovely. It's such a joy to watch the two of them arrive at this point of accommodation and understanding. The only time I stopped smiling was when I was cackling away.
The scene where Zisheng was chewing the flatbread grumpily reminded me of Fei Liu.
Can I plead with commenters who have read ahead or watched previews to provide warnings about what the spoilers are going to be about? I really really want to watch next week's episodes in context with an open mind. I don't mind reading spoilers about episodes that have already aired but I'd like to stay clear of speculations and spoilers from the novel. Thank you.
Many thought-provoking insights as always! Apart from lack of trust as the reason for keeping the lake bullying…
The word that's used is 怕 pa which does commonly mean "afraid" or "fear" so the translation is fine such as it is.
My own view as described in my blog post is that they're both talking past each other. I don't think she completely understood what he was asking of her. On the one hand he wants her to trust him fully with all her hopes and fears but what she seems to be hearing is that she was in trouble and he wasn't there to protect her which is not wrong but that's not his point. His core grievance is that he's disappointed that she didn't feel that he's important enough in her life to share something as important as this with him. He's upset that she doesn't trust him enough with her deepest secrets while she thinks that he's upset because he wasn't there to rescue her from uncertain death. She didn't think it was a big deal but to him, because she could have died in this event he is absolutely dismayed that he, her fiance, didn't even know such a terrible thing happened. He doesn't just want to be a fiance in name only if you understand what I'm saying. So he thinks that she's deliberately putting some distance between them because she's afraid of him and not treating him like someone who is in love with her fiance.
About time we had a nice juicy murder to solve. But then Zisheng takes a single look around the room and he pretty much knows who's done it. :D No fun.
I must admit to enjoying the revenge fantasy fulfilment a little bit too much. Bad parenting finally gets its just desserts. Zisheng's bite is worse than his bark.
Ok, I got a rant!! I'm rewatching ep 37 and subs are finally available on Viki and because I'm seeing a lot of…
The thing is she doesn't even need to "rely" on him. What she needs to learn to do is to communicate properly with him and come up with a plan that works better than the one she came up with by herself (It was funny mind you). In this case two heads are better than one especially if one of the heads involved borders on genius.
This independence shtick is nonsensical and she's taking it too far. Nobody needs to fight battles on their own if they have people in their corner. It just becomes about ego not about solving an actual problem.

Wasn't sure if she was upset or happy that the husband was dead.
But this show is a great soap opera. One of the best.

Now, I can get on with watching the latest episodes.
As always thanks for reading and all the kind comments.
Zisheng's bite is worse than his bark.
But was it entertaining? Absolutely!

The director and writer are just too good. LOL.
The camaraderie and banter are still great.
TJ Group looks like a veritable nuthouse.
But most importantly, Oh Ji-hyeok is still the sharpest tool in the toolbox.
