Good Penultimate Episode

This episode was pretty solid. I love exploring stories of Jin and his parents. It's their own family issues that resonate with many people who deal with common family drama like separation of spouses, understanding a child's motive in frustration while in school, and more.

I love the moment when Simon finally finds the courage to speak up, in this case, for Christine's parenting skills to Jin. However, the last part of his talk about the common mispronunciation of "Wang" nearly lost my attention on his point, but I'll let it slide.

Another great action scene in this episode, and I like how cinematically suspenseful the scene where Bull Demon lights Ji Gong's paintings in flames looked.

In terms of Jamie Yao, I knew what to expect out of his story as an Asian American actor who worked without any representation ahead of him. However, I was a little bit let down only because I was kind of hoping for reveal of his character to some out tie into the overall plot of the season, but maybe until the last episode.
