but when he apologizes for not finding the hidden camera, or for (iirc) not knowing how to disarm a bomb in ep 24, those are moderately insane things to take any blame for.
FWIW, I read the hidden-camera apology as a kind of verbal self-criticism -- a disciplined way of taking responsibility for as much as one can. The fact that Shen Wei's "failings" are so obviously not failings makes it more of a gesture to signal humility (without actually admitting fault) and willingness to meet Zhao Yunlan halfway, I think?
