Zhong Wu Yan: Episode 6 Summary and Recap



Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5

Summary

Xuan drove the blind guy and Wuyan to a forest as part of the "tour visit" for the blind guy (who use the alias as Huo hua to conceal his real identity). Wuyan asked him upfront if he was the guy in Qing's car the other day, and which is the reason why they would consider working with Qi's company. Hua said he is only the nephew and he has no say in company affairs. In the forest, Wuyan raised all the questions and her suspicions and finally concluded rightly that Qing company has no intention to work with Qi company at all from the start but only to mock Xuan.

Hua kept mocking at Xuan's stupidity infront of Wuyan. Wuyan tried to stick up for Xuan saying that he has no right to judge xuan. However Hua asked does it make sense for xuan to bring a BLIND GUY to the nature to enjoy its beauty? Wuyan was stumped initially but she picked a flower and asked him to smell it. She proceeded to ask Hua to consider experiencing the nature using his other senses such as smell and hearing. At this moment, Xuan also appeared and aplogised to Hua saying that his initial thought was only to let him enjoy nature since Hua may want to be away from city, however he forgot that Hua could not see. He then proceed to do what Wuyan had done earlier and tried to show Hua different other ways to enjoy the nature without sight. Hua's mood was visbily affected and he asked to go back as it was going to rain. Xuan asked how could it be since the weather looked fine?

On way to car, it poured and Xuan hurried the 2 to teh car. However Hua heard an animal distress cries and stopped. Xuan said he didnt hear anything and tried to prevent Hua from walking close to the slope edge or he might fall. However, Xuan fell down instead. Wuyan who instinctively tried to save him also got dragged down leaving hua alone in shock!

At the bottom seeing her injuries and twisted shoulder, Xuan complained Wuyan shouldnt have tried to saved him as now he would be blamed for her injuries. Wuyan snapped that if she had a min to consider she wont save him either. Just then, they heard the goat's distress call and it was in hard labour. Xuan tried to stop her from helping to give birth to the baby in breech condition but she said the young ones would be motherless if she doesnt try, and the mother goat only has her to save her now. Hearing that, Xuan stepped in and said she is wrong, the goat also has him to help save her and he wont want the little ones to be motherless. During teh process, he was shocked by the blood as it reminded him of his mother's car accident. Hua called Wuyan again and she explained she had located the missing goat and what they are doing. Hua said the goat owner is with him and they will try to get them to safety. The birth delivery was a success!

At the goat owner home, the owner invited them to see the little ones and thanked xuan. Xuan was sooo happy that he hugged wuyan, thanking her for giving him strength to presevere on. He explained his greatst "acheivement" was to give up, and his greatest "failure" was to hang on during tough times. Yet today, with Wuyan's encouragement and presence, he had done something he never thought he could. Hua listened on in silence while wuyan was alittle shock by the hug.

When Wuyan sent Hua back, she reminded him not to toy with Xuan and to look at the proposal. She has no complaints if its is deem a bad proposal but she hoped it will not be rejected because of "personal dislike". Hua said if it is a good proposal, of course it will be considered. Wuyan quizzed didnt hua said he had no position or say in the matter earlier? Hua left in silence.

When Wuyan turned ard, she couldnt find xuan and wondered if he had driven home without her. Xuan appeared to her relief and he gave her vit C tablet explaining he had gone to buy it as she looks like she was going to catch a cold. He couldnt see any shops along teh way and so he took the chance to grab some while she sent hua up. She asked why was he being so nice and he said "didnt we agree to be in truce and be at peace with each other?"

Back at home, Qing (Hua) asked his uncle if he thinks it was a good proposal too and the uncle agreed. He asked why did Qing Chu changed his mind. Qing explained when he was blind, the thing he hate and loathe most was the ridicule and arrogrance of ignorant people, as well as the overflowing sympathy towards him. While he hated the discrimination, he had also unknowninly been critical and discriminating towards Xuan labelling him as Stupid idiot as well. With that, he decided they will go ahead with teh project with Xuan.

When Xuan got back, he was surprised to see Xia Ying Chun at his place, on pretext to deliver good news of a famouse photographer willing to shoot the commercial. The father realised they liked each other when grandma asked why are they holding hands. When Xuan walked her out, she asked if Wuyan was the woman the father wanted Xuan to marry. He asked how did she kknow but she said she didnt but he just confirmed it. he assured that he wont pick wuyan. Xia asked why and xuan replied because xia is beautiful and sexy. Xia asked if she is no longer so will he still like her? Xuan paused and said he cannot answer as he doesnt know and he wont lie to her saying otherwise. Xia accepted it and said it is fine. However she requested that she will use her own foundation and not Xuan's product as she can only use certain brands. Xuan said its ok.

At the shoot however, Tian's lackey did something (after they discovered xia' allergy problem from another male model) an xia's back broke out in rash patches. She ran off. Xuan's father, Qing and his uncle, and the gloating Tian director were all there asking him what is the next step. Xuan explained its impoosible as she will take a week to recover but the photographer only have 15mins left before taking the next flight out of taiwan.

Xuan's father wondered aloud how is it posible for the allergy since he only use natural product but Xuan innocently said it wasnt their product. Xuan father was so mad that he slapped him before everyone. Tian left while gloating and making sacastic emarks. At the desperate moment, Xuan almost gave up again but Wuyan stepped up and offered to be the "bare back model".

However before the camera, Wuyan was shivering in fright and hestitating to strip. All the workers and the photopgrapher were impatiently scolding her but Xuan and Qing Chu asked them to shut up. Qing offered to help her unbutton her shirt since he was blind and she was still afriad. He taught her to be "blind" for 3 mins and ignore what everyone's looks and faces. Mustering her courage, she closed her eyes with determination and took off her shirt for the shoot with Qing firmly handing her hand standiong by the side. When the shoot was over, Xuan rushed forward to try to cover Wuyan but Qing had already beat him to it and led her away.

Xuan looked alittle lost at the two walking away from him...

oh nooo.... in love with Howard more and more with each episode. Howard need Wu Yan tooo.... (and not to mention how HOT Chris Wu in this drama).

mmmm....is it just me, but I felt a bit tired watching the lead actress, her emotion is either angry/upset or down... hope she could act with more depth.

I think Cheryl the female lead is kinda of overshadowed by Ming Dao the lead male actor. His interpretation of the character is much easier to relate and empathise with because he did the naive not so bright personality really well.

Cheryl on the other hand is confined by the character which is weighed down by the responsibility of helping QiXuan. But I have to agree that she bring bring very little excitment and depth to the role, which I think may be a script problem than her acting skills.

For example, I find it strange that she should be shivering and on the verge of crying for the photo shoot. I mean this is taiwan, not Middle east, I dun see what the big deal is if the shoot is taken of her back, not even her side or front. So the script require her to be so weak and useless which was kinda annoying. I wanted her to be more gutsy than wimpy which the director/producer seem to envision the character to be...

On the other hand, I have to agree, I think Howard is a very interesting element in the show. Canx wait to see what other new developments he will bring into the show! So far I think Qixuan and Howards charcter are the saving grace for the show...
