020104ismeCong Bo is the only paparazzi type character I have ever really tolerated, go figure.
It is quite a packed episode in terms of plot points that will reoccur if you work your way through them.
Having said that, my central focus is the lets chill out and chat behaviour of our two leads. It is so cosy, so fast! Add in the fact that Zhao Yunlan offers to buy Shen Wei supper later in the episode... a person could be forgiven for reading more into their relationship.
Two things that jar for me on this repeat viewing are Zu Hong and her drinking extravaganza. I know she supposedly loves Zhao Yunlan but just because he heads off with Shen Wei, her reaction seems a bit too OTT for what we've been allowed to see of her relationship with ZYL up until this point in the show.
Altogether unrelated, I can't quite wrap my head around the fact that the chief of the SID doesn't know where the official gateway to Dixing is. Wouldn't it be the first place that should be monitored if the number of fugitive Dixingian people is increasing?

Yeah... it does seem odd. Perhaps it can be explained by the fact that the chiefs before Zhao Yunlan weren't the kind you'd want to hand such information to?

Yes, Zhu Hong turns into such a great, strong leader - we should have had more of her growing into her own. Sigh.
