Review ~
I can’t believe I’m doing this. But to be honest, I am so emotionally invested in this show already that it’s impossible for me not to comment about it unless of course the writers suddenly decide to throw crap at me (like say, turning my beloved Terry into a baddie! (><) in which case I have no other choice but to cut ties with it.
Moving on…
Kai Le came in and told Terry that there are protesters at Sheng Da’s construction site so Terry decided to go and handle it himself and Da Hua tagged along. One thing I liked about this scene was the way the 2 of them unconsciously protected each other when the mob threw eggs at them. Because of this incident Terry got hurt and back at home Da Hua helped put some medicine of his bruise. Terry was so obviously uncomfortable with her closeness and Da Hua noticing it said that he shouldn’t develop any feelings for her because it would be awkward for them in the future. Terry didn’t say a word but his eyes said everything. I this point I thought, CW is really an effective actor because he is singlehandedly stealing this show with his sincere portrayal.
Terry asked Da Hua out for dinner and wanted to let her try his favorite dish as he did try hers before. But before they even started to eat, she got a message from Duan Jun reminding her to come home for her moms birthday. So she asked Terry to allow her to go home to which he agreed and even took her himself (unselfish guy!)
Da Hua gave her mom a jade bracelet which the mom recognized as something only her daughter would know so she went with her hunch and asked what she had been suspecting all along. “Tell me honestly, are you my daughter?” she said. To this DH broke down and admitted it. So everyone in the family now knows the sit. DJ came to confront Terry and told him he was only thinking of himself (and I was like, no he’s not! He told her to GO home so many times but she refused).
DH decided to stay home for the night and Terry was all alone at the big house and recalled the times he had with DH, muttering to himself
“I did everything which I promised you, how about what you had promised me?”
Awww, my heart just broke at this point. Sad, his heart is still so vulnerable that I feel like he is going to break anytime. My poor Terry.
The next morning DJ took DH on his motorcycle and the 2 of them look happy together.
Then came ep 13 preview. Oh, don’t even let me get started with that one because it sure looks like they’re going to turn my Terry into a villain (selfish, cunning — which he was clearly not until ep 12 mind you writers!). I sure hope I’m wrong. If they want to build up JW character they can do so, but not at the expense of CW’s character. I think it’s not Chris’ fault that he managed to make his character into someone which MOST viewers would love. Anyway I’m still hopeful.
