I'm really fond of Sha Ya and I wish there'd been a bit less of a definite ending to her in canon to allow for the possibility of bringing her back.

And Dr Cheng is shipping the two of them so much, it's adorable! I thought maybe they took Zhao Yunlan to her because they wondered if something was wrong neurologically, having checked out various other options.

I love that Shen Wei actually apologizes to Lao Chu, that's so considerate of him.

Lao Chu, by the way, is Xiao Chu at the Guo household! That anyone would 'xiao' him just cracks me up. And he was concerned that Guo's parents wouldn't like him.

Will no-one show pity for this dashingly handsome young man?

I actually find it really lovely how Da Qing treats the blindness thing, he kind of plays around with it to make Zhao Yunlan lighten up and it works. Everyone else is all DOOOOOOOM and he's like haha, kick me if you can find me.

But ouch Zhao Yunlan's body language when he finds out the one who helped him up is his father... just ouch. A great spirited fightback from Zhao Yunlan on the matter of Shen Wei and then, just to remind us what state he's in, he knocks his head on the gate. Love this sequence, love sassy Zhao Yunlan.

Does Zhao Yunlan realize the flea market is an empty field? You'd expect sound at least?

[w]hen Zhao Yunlan calls Shen Wei "xiao-Wei", I think it was a calculated move to stop Shen Wei in his tracks to save Ya Qing's life and thus curry favor with the Yashou leaders.

I always thought it was done to stop him killing Ya Qing, yes. The currying favour part didn't occur to me, I thought he was just basically DNW because he doesn't like Shen Wei killing people in cold blood.

It's funny how everyone wants Zhao Yunlan to go to the miracle doctor but of course Lin Jin has to point out that only science works!
