QingCheng court and matchmakers

Shen continues to urge the old man to mediate rather than divorce, but he is staying with his terms. Now they are in court and both refuse the house, childcare money returned, etc. He refuses to budge tho it’s clearly not what he really wants. The case with the three children shows what a manipulator the mother in law is. She was instrumental in urging more grandchildren, isolating the daughter in law from her mother, and taking charge of financing the grandkids. She is trying to vicariously make them her children because if her disappointment in her own sin. She should still get rid of him and keep all the rest of them.😝 She did not like that her daughter in law already had a job lined up and care planned for her children. She is still trying to control with money because that is all she really has to offer. If she truly loved them as much as she thinks she does, she would settle things more kindly and take their feeling into consideration instead of trying to bribe with treats. Shen’s friends do their best to get Qin and Shen together at the courthouse. Both try to pass by quickly and since Qin wavered on sending that text she, will be at the legal aid center meeting and Shen will think she’s with that guy again.😝 I wish these two cases would have wrapped up last episode and we would get more news about Shu and Lian. It is clear that Shen and Qin have a better chance than his friends did with the judge and lawyer conflict. Even his friend thinks so by trying to set them up after he disparaged Shen’s mourning over love that might have been.

Don't let the old era make you look away!

I personally think Memoir of Rati is extremely underrated. I'm not one to leave reviews much on series, but I do think this series deserves attention. I waited so long to watch it because I was unsure how I'd feel with a BL based in this era. The only reason I did watch it was for AouBoom, and in the end I turned out really enjoying the series. The relationship between both couples is well done.Don't get me wrong, I loved Thee and Rati's relationship, but for me Mek and Dech carried the series.I understand that in this era there was not a lot of acceptance with this which plays a part in the series, but despite that it is played quite well. There are certain scenes that I'd prefer went a different way and them both properly confessing their love to each other, but we can't wish for everything haha.The outfits, landscapes and everything was so beautifully done for the early 1900s.I would definitely watch this series again, but not so quickly as I would with others that I really really enjoyed. and I hope some people will be able to create more music videos of these two pairings.

Family aid and career options

Qin meets someone at the event who has similar law interests. He is a fan of her videos and has offered her membership in a family aid program that exclusively works to help family legal matters. To avoid an outing with his parents, Shen tags along with his friend and finds Qin at the same event. Both are unhappy to see each other at a singles event as neither have really moved on. The irony with these two is they never started either. They are in limbo trying to determine where they are headed professionally and dealing with these choices forcibly keeping them from the person they care most about. Shen’s case is about a couple that have been together 40 years and the husband finds out their son is not his. He is hurt and angry and wants a divorce. The woman never told her husband she was assaulted when drunk and her consequence was an unexpected pregnancy. The son is disabled so that adds to the mix as he is a childlike adult and cannot support himself. Shen worries that the mother will opt for suicide for her and son and the husband benefits most from his wife’s care. Qin is continuing with her non-litigation insurance case and has asked about working with the family aid program since the firm lacked hours with this type of work. She was granted permission and bumps into the guy she met at the event who looks quite happy to see her there. Shen is walking outside the courthouse weighing his options. I think he is measuring the balance of good he can accomplish between family and criminal law. He sees the enduring effects of family law and mitigation and that there are no easy fixes. The consequences can be lifelong and while not as prestigious as the high court, argument can be made that society benefits more from family court decisions when judgment chooses the best welfare for the family.

Plot’s thickeninggg

So the three way trade between china, Japan and Korea is now on hold because the cops from gangnam were onto gicheul (NOT THE ONES WORKING WITH JUNMO, his name is detective mingoo) and Japanese have offered to pay 15% more in return to directly trade with the Chinese, but then she denied the offer, and Japanese counter offered that they’ll bring someone news in from Korea instead of gicheul, since he’s getting cop trouble, but haeryeong, the girl from china sent in behalf of proffesor yoon, said she needed more time to think, since she didn't know if she could trust gicheul again once more after they noticed detective mingoo trying to storm into them making a deal, but she was impressed by junmo’s loyalty and he was readily put his life down to fight the cop, even though he could get charges. So now haeryeong, has to think whether to still trade with gicheul or with another person entirely from Korea, and since she was going to stay in Korea for a few days, she wanted junmo to be her tour guide. After detective mingoo who couldnt find out what the trade was about since junmo fought him off, went to gicheul office and beat up his men HE USED SUCH EXCESSIVE FORCE IT ACTUALLY MADE ME FEEL BAD BRO I HATE HIM, and trashed the office down. Gicheul found out about this, and junmo offered to hand himself in to calm down detective mingoo, since he was the one who fought off. Gicheul said now since he didn't want one of his men to sacrifice himself, but junmo said if he hands himself in, after gicheul needs to let him in on the three way trade.

you did good. i also found the sound+track literally just before i saw this episode hehe

saki doesn’t have a jacket at least in her final look. i think she did have a cardigan early on though but i think that’s cute for when she’s at her weakest & most vulnerable point. i really liked the start of this episode. i thought it was cool to have saki develope more specifically as soon as shinnosuke leaves town so she’ll be up to her own to make a decision. & then the episode ends with her not being stuck. so um i will leave my judgements for the next episode. i liked what they tried to dxo with the three separate groups but generally the writing sucks for me to invest myself into the police officer’s big dilemma. & you’re not supposed to care that much about the shop owners. i was gagged at the LADY knowing imoko. i had imoko spoiled for me so like okay it’s her i guess i see that. but i did not epect that. this episode had ambition it just couldn’t get there.
