The involved steps to make latex balloons - a simple tool to express love

This episode starts out with the bf interested in purchasing balloons from a street vendor. The narrator continues into a detailed explanation on the involved process of making balloons. Plot wise, we see a turning point for our fl she she gets sick and cannot attend an important meeting at work. The true colors and aspirations of her boss is revealed. Her bar friends express their love for her by coming over and “taking” care of her. It’s pretty humorous. There are some heartfelt moments between her and the ml as he cares for her. When she returns to work, she is told that she will need to meet with the chairman and answer his questions from the meeting while she was sick. While researching the answers, she finds a better idea than her original and want to update her plan. Her boss says no because she she’s fearful it wouldn’t be received well. She not interested in success of the project, only approval from the chairman. At the meeting, the fl must decide. Episode ends with her having dinner with her bar friends at her place. Her BF, who thinks she might me still interested in him, comes over with the balloons we see at the beginning. As he tries to reach her by phone, he sees the ML and mistook him to be her new bf. He decides to release the balloons and leave. She comes to the window to see what the ML is looking at, he points to the balloons - ‘a guy released it’, a ‘a confession of love’. Everyone looks at the balloons as it floats away… I feel like I need to rewatch this ep to understand better the message behind these balloons. May have missed a lot with the translation. However, it’s still another very well done episode. Here’s to hoping her future will be looking up like the rising balloons.

Emotion packed

Ep 33 I would summarize this episode’s theme as how dark can man’s heart turn in his quest to obtain his obsession.I also want to comment and marvel at the camera work and use of music/ sounds so effectively. This is one packed episode highlighting so many emotions.@ around 24 min - such a moody, kinda melancholy sense of the conversation between official Liu and his fellow conspirator while fishing.First fishing - an activity that allows you to sit and contemplate.2nd - the rain drops pitter platter onto the pond and the angels of camerawork.We can see that although Liu should be celebrating in his victory, he is not because of his daughter.@ around 28 - we see and feel the complete opposite scenery with Liu Wan and H MZ at the harbor.The sky is clear - not sunny but clearing. There’s water again but the surface is not broken and we see a beautiful reflection of the couple facing each other.We hear tha slow paced music one instrument introduced at a time like the start of spring as plants start to emerge and grow - like the seed of love taking root and growing. Hmz’s expression towards LW has changed and a little smile slowly appears.Then further along we have a very disturbing scene with sounds that will only haunt and leave us in horror.And finally, towards the end where we are brought back to Focus and fear for our main couple.I jus love the details and care the team puts into this drama.
