The first time I watched this, I was not up to speed yet on the censorship in China issue, and I still found them incredibly obviously gay. Wang Yike is like my #1 guest-character-I-want-to-get-a-better-ending-in-fanfic, though I appreciate that Shen Wei helped the lesbians out at the end.
Note also the way Zhao Yunlan has gone elsewhere to have an emotion. He's likely also re-examining his attitude towards Dixingren.
I really did find Zhao Yunlan turning away for the horrible moments of this episode quite, quite interesting. They are softies together.
Meanwhile, Zhao Yunlan doesn't believe in the blurbs of bestsellers, texts about winning the lottery, or coincidences during a case
This is honestly one of my favourite Zhao Yunlan moments in the early episodes. It's where between the cake stealing and the flirting, the cop thing really comes through.
Zhu Hong might be checked out when she comforts Zhang Ruonan
I like that scene quite a bit, both for what it says about Zhao Yunland and Zhu Hong. (Though it took me ages to decide if I was actually supposed to take Zhu Hong as Bad At Connecting or if it was just set up a little akwardly by the show and that really was supposed to be female bonding.)
JACKETS! None of my personal favourites - I am partial to the leather jackets - but the parka is pretty cool.
LOL the shoes. Oh god I will never be unable to unsee that for Shen Wei now too.
The slightly odd cliffhangers start here for real, but I loved the naked Shen Wei face in the coda / face-stealing intro at the end of the episode.
