So ML's ex wife first choses to leave him and go study in US when his family went broke...fine then chooses to divorce him just around the time he lost his mother and became estranged with his father. She simply chose herself over them every single time and then acts all friendly with him too.
For all the hype this show had it just isn't really hitting that hard. I don't really care much about the intro being made with AI and all that stuff but it's the editing and characters of the drama that is somewhat of a letdown.
I wanted to see an ML who is grey, clever and ready to go scorched earth after all the pain he went through but all I see is a zero self respect love struck idiot who is still naive and weak when it comes to planning and plotting plus keeps getting played again and again. One tear from FL and in a second he loses his manhood and anger only to give in to her words, it's quite pathetic to watch. So far he is all bark and no bite.
FL on the other hand is damn good. Instead of being a damsel in distress she is mission focused, cold at times and knows how to get things done.
I am glad they wrapped up the mom's arc pretty fast. It would have been bloody annoying to see their so called bonding sessions over episodes with the whole redemption crap.
The same old trope FL's mom is sick and wants to make up with FL now after abandoning her at her worst and guess…
As far Cen Ye is concerned his relation with FL is just like ML's relation with Tu Li. Both acting as each other's partners to get other suitors off their backs and just like Tu Li, Cen Ye has developed feelings for FL.
The same old trope FL's mom is sick and wants to make up with FL now after abandoning her at her worst and guess what that is exactly what will happen. Damn this trope was one thing I loved in First Frost where FL simply cut all ties with her mom when her selfish mother was let go by her new husband.
The drama is filled with cliche tropes plus storyline and looking at the eps it looks like we are about to get a generic unidimensional SML who will turn to some extent just like ML's dad and try to make things worse for him cuz of FL and in the end will redeem himself and all that shit.
The show really sucked at pacing from the beginning. You have 5 eps left and so many unsaid things to be done be it revealing how much the past 10 years affected them, FL's workplace harassment and ML's psychological issues, leads finally dealing with their pain, coming to terms with the love they have for each other, FL getting her revenge, and I have a feeling it will be rushed.
SFL didn't give a shit for the fact it could ruin chances of JJY to become successor, a man she claims she loves. As for JJY it does look like he has come to term with ML and FL being together even if he still has feelings for her.
I have a feeling 2ML and FL did date in past but since he was going to marry the rich girl as a business deal he must have wanted to still keep FL as his lover which she straight up said no to due to her mom's experiences of being with a married man so she left.
She simply chose herself over them every single time and then acts all friendly with him too.

Even though the preview shows a lot of sad stuff coming up, I still feel the episode will end on a happy note.
