Unhappy partners

He and Ran find themselves put together to investigate a case of 2 missing persons. Neither appreciate the arrangement. One is book smart, one is street smart. One is convinced something is wrong and needs investigated. The other thinks it’s a prank and not even a real case. The age gap between them doesn’t make for the best communication skills with each other either. He is very reluctantly drawn into the matter but still doesn’t think a real crime has taken place. End of episode we have a time jump and there’s another missing person at same place. This time Ran is the reluctant partner. The first case was never solved and he was so discouraged he went to educating rather than investigating. He knows Ran is the only one that will get it and ultimately gets him back to the site to investigate. Ya gotta love the hat gear comparison.😂I found this a fun and interesting premise to the drama.

Taking a break from work

Today’s episode was all about the hearing aid. While it seems absolutely ridiculous how it is found, in college years I actually helped a friend find her contact at a hayride , so finding needles in literal haystacks can happen. 😂 This entire project was MiYu’s brainchild. She feels responsible for its outcome and has already surmised the poor kid has a less than ideal home situation with a loud obnoxious mom and an aloof father. She wants him to do well because that is simply who she is. She goes the extra mile and finds it. When Ji arrived the first words out of his mouth should have been, “You scared the hell out of me going off by yourself. Please don’t ever do that again” He berates her yet again and she’s had enough of his backhanded caring. She collapses and finds herself in the hospital. Her friend helps her out and gets leave for her so she can just rest. MiYu’s mom is truly a piece of work. But if MiYu can teach her the benefits of working and earning for herself rather than conning and manipulating, that is a step in the right direction. The mom believes MiYu prefers Mr Tang, while I believe she prefers Mr Tang’s manners. She gets him to accompany her to MiYu’s quarters and blindsided MiYu with unexpected company. They have a nice chat about food and art over noodles which led to an invite to an exhibit in HongKong. She was figuring out a polite way to decline when Ji asks her to a weekend exhibition. She got to turn the tables saying she already had plans and accepts Tang’s offer. She makes sure to minimize the ambiance with her room choice etc but she enjoyed the change of venue and did have pleasant company. When she returns to work she learns the boy did well on his exam and the mom is now overly attentive. She just needs to calm down and go home ASAP. I am hoping they give MiYu one peaceful day at work just so she can experience the novelty of it. Personally, I am enjoying this drama. I love MiYu’s character and think the actress playing her is both stunning and doing a magnificent job bringing this character to life. This is not majority opinion, but I rarely side with them. If anybody is familiar with the old Tammy movies, this is similar in style to those with a twist.

i am happy

this is possibly one of the best written episodes in the series. kamiya is the bad son of this season. ucchi wasz a traditional showing of this type of story+line & it was okay. hyuga was a misstep but they got it right with kamiya. this is where kuma’s character of becoming a dad plays in this is where every set+up paid off ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ kamiya was an ungrateful son & we fully focused in on that. we saw how his literal weak★ness spirals him down & isolates him from the people that love him & also nakama yukie aced her performance this episode jesus christ. this is the balance of being hard & caring for the ones you love. kamiya’s struggle to get what’s being said to him & then him taking the initiatives at the end was perfect ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ i was scared they’d fuck it up ，i was REALLY scared when yamaguchi stepped up to get our fight of the episode but it was cut short so we can focus on what really matters this episode. i really loved this episode they did an amazing job
