LOGH's insanely masterful way of showing you something in plain sight that you still never see
>!As per another thread I just watched E082 for the first time and now it's all come together. It is indicative of LOGH's incredibly masterful storytelling how they have been telegraphing this in absolutely plain view since episode 1 and I never even imagined it. What do I mean by this? The ending credits in every episode very clearly indicated SOMETHING was going to happen with Julian. But you never have quite enough information to intuit exactly what it's going to be.!<
>!In fact, my (wrong) guess prior to E082 was actually that Julian was going to defect in some way. You see him interacting with Reinhard in season 1; you see him seeming to take his own path in season 2; and reflecting upon his past with Yang and the others in season 3. I thought he somehow decided to turn against Yang at some point, and that season 3 in particular was him in some way preparing for a confrontation through facing his memories. Oh, how wrong I was. !<
>!And now I see it's shown in absolutely plain view. They showed all their cards, they hid nothing, and I still couldn't even imagine what was coming. And that was that this has never been Yang Wen-li's story: this is Julian's story.!<
>!A trick worthy of Miracle Yang himself. What an amazing show.!<
