Strong opinions

Thins are strained with MuSun since the failed bday gift. KaiXi is helping her friend get custody of her son. Man inserts her unsolicited opinion and it results in a huge fight. This is one where things are said that can’t be taken back. Kai Xi gets hope for her marriage after a dinner party where she finds out about the marriage clause they have to sign. Chen Mian promises to not hurt her again. It is also revealed that he had dated Man first in a flashback. QingCheng finds herself tagged homewrecker in social media. Man uses her script writer techniques to help QingCheng change the narrative and put the blame on the person really guilty. Man has had a falling out with her dad and learns his insistence she get married is because he might have cancer. Man’s script is not being picked up by client and she is still on the outs with MuSun. KaiXi and Man are not back to speaking terms yet, but they are both showing solidarity for QingCheng. She has finally told Man about her dad and that gives Man some perspective about hers. This episode is where women clash in opinion of career vs family and which has more value. My question is why are they never seen as equal in value and both valid choices worthy of respect and appreciation?

HATE it i hate it bad

this was a hassle of an arc to be honest i Did not enjoy it. so many issues with the written dialogue especially. this is a major point for the season & basically every character is just in a completely mediocre place saying non+sense. sabi & renge are just in a bizarre narrative to go with & then they are fighting clotho who is stuck talking like a cartoon hench+man parody. & then the kamen riders are just not unified whatsoever so i don’t know why they’re saying so. all of them listing their own personal grudges against greyon it’s just really messy ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ now my over+all issues with this arc is so much of it is wasted time. i have been talking about how much time they waste their run+time & congest tf out of pivotal moments for their characters & then we got the dead+space marathon these last four episodes ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ now this is child☆ish i can acknowledge that but no i do not forgive minato his back+story is weak he’s a grown man showing no growth & sitting there watching spanner’s parents get tortured over & over again in front of their son is wicked HE IS SICK I DO NOT LIKE HIM. & then we have the opposite case with lachesis who i think has been handled so gracefully. lachesis is a coward but that is what m,akes her so human. she is running around looking for her way out & gets disregarded when she needs to be disregarded. genuinely thank god sakamaki alisa got this role she is great ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ so yeah i am not really a fan of this arc. i did really like how much more fun uses of the alchemist ring we got. one more complaint. RINNE’s father has died for a second time & they continue to use him devoid of relation to rinne. their relationship is a literal afterthought. elevating more scenes between the two could do so much for them. i think spanner needed more of a supporting role. he has moved along independently pretty well but he just is not integrated enough to make the story they attempted work. i think sabi & renge do not need to do anything spiffy but like they just lack direction when we had to focus on them this episode. the abyssalis sisters were great ，KYOKA has been really great. minato is an extremely sore spot for the show & it’s because he sucks at being an adult. whatever he feels guilt & hasn’t grown up okay fine. now is his actual time to do some reflecting & changing & he does not do that he just snaps out of it when kyoka spells it out for him like. YOU SUCK. hate his ass so bad.

Bday gifts

MuSun sees Man lost her shoes and carries her off. It was a sweet moment. Chen Mian was watching Kai Xi’s new video and was commenting. Everything was going nicely til he came in fuming she helped a friend get a lawyer. He thought she was butting her nose in where it didn’t belong and she saw herself helping a divorced wife get custody of her son. It digressed from there and it’s another nail in the coffin about where his feelings really lie where she is concerned. Everybody is speculating what bday presents will be. Man is led to think jewelry will be involved. So at then end of the episode when she is given a huge bag of books she is underwhelmed. Kai Xi has Tiao at a friend’s house and a romantic dinner lined up. She has waited a good long while and finally the doorbell rings. She is expecting hubby and surprise gift. The gift was delivered by his secretary. His flight was delayed and his apology given. As she stares at a room full of designer bags and she looks at the new one she just received, she sadly realizes each bag must represent a tryst that wasn’t with her. MuSun remembers Man’s bday by having it with her name in contacts. The trio discuss bday gifts from men and what they signify as far as feelings and intentions. Man and Kai Xi were both greatly disappointed.

i get that everything done to her is what…

i get that everything done to her is what slowly turns her into what she becomes at the end, maybe something that that group of women want to murder. but she has such a naïve side to her - which isn't understandable given the life she has lived, idk why she listens to that gf of hers who has no idea how cutthroat the famous high class b*tches can be. even Si Hyeon who comes of sweet & saintly in comparison to the women in that group is not someone u should mess with cause of her connections. also i didn't notice that Jun Gyeong was uncomfortable seeing or being around Si Hyeon, like she is with him - so what went down between them? & is he that callus that anything that did take place had no lasting effect on him??? i wonder -

Friendship found by chance

This is a sweet story of an office cleaner and young man looking for a job. She is late with a slippery when wet floor sign and they get off on a bad footing. She compensates him by providing the materials she had made for her son to job hunt. He finds a job and they continue their friendship which comes to be more like mother/son relationship. Her son chooses to settle in another city and she returns years later and they get reacquainted. The absolute best scene for me was her introducing him to her car.😂🤣She supported him as a mother would and this carries through to end of story. It was fun seeing how a chance encounter could become a lasting familial relationship. ❤️
