I think you misunderstood his character. He has different approach to the girl he likes without giving away his…
Are we watching the same character?
He's not holding himself in check at all.
LBY is an example of someone holding himself in check. He knows who he wants, but when he can't get her because she's taken by someone else, he just tries to pave the best path for her.
YS is attracted and is being stymied from getting what he wants, so he snipes at her, and tries to worm his way in to control her to some degree, regardless of her existing attachment.
Holding himself 'tight in check'. Pfft. You couldn'tve said that with a straight face.
In these episodes, we can see that she's going to have a tough battle against the Lou family. Everyone can see…
I can understand CSS' choice really.
Better the devil you know.
The family of the first house may have a spoiled princess for a daughter and a manipulative and somewhat vindictive shrew for a wife/house leader, but that house leader does have a particular code. A standard she will live up to. That can be used to ensure some standard of behaviour, no matter how cruel they are.
Better to accept this family who's flaws and laws are perceivable, than to marry to a family without even those standards.
Hell, even the household she was brought up in didn't have those standards.
Jeez, I wouldn't wish him on my best friend even if he was my own brother. Always judgemental. Telling her how she is wrong, what she is doing wrong, presuming he knows better. Urgh. If I had a husband like that if I couldn't use divorce to escape within the first 2 years, I'd be otherwise looking to hire a professional killer.
Okay, its really my first time to be annoyed at someone who is the 2nd or 3rd ML instead of 2nd FML, although…
It seems obvious that the friend of LBY from the Lou house is Lou Ben from the second ... I forget the word ... yard? The husband of Yanji (the actress that played the other concubine's daughter in Minglan). The one Lou Yao spoke to when he wanted to end his engagement with that He girl.
I would like to start with the grandmother. What a piece of work. When did marriage gifts become the property…
I came to visit these comments just because of the grandma's behaviour. I totally don't get it. If the gifts are supposed to be the bride's, how on earth can the grandma think she can get away with it?
I can't be the only one who thinks the grandma's overall behaviour is somewhat senile, can I?
I can't believe I've watched the first set of 12 eps 4 times over already. It's really a very well done production.
Here's hoping it keeps up the pace for the remainder.
Also - special mention of the sound/music score. It's perfectly matched. If you don't believe me re-watch that schene with the adults discussing how to punish CSS with the carrot and stick approach. Really the sound on this production is just perfect. I have to admit at first Lusi's voice was a bit childish seeming to me, but in retrospect it fits her character at that moment in her life.
A pitch perfect production so far. Here's hoping it keeps it up.
It was a prank that did not merit that kind of punishment. I mean it's not her fault those bimbos can't read.…
True about the warning sign however...
...she was willing to start a brawl overCheng Yang's life being endangered when that Wang girl pushed her in the water, but she had no qualms of doing the same to an entire gaggle of those girls?
Up to 10-humor is actually on point throughout, which I find refreshing (I generally don't find other CDramas'…
"However, one thing I don't understand is why LBY would, even if tasking CSS with the steal, reveal top-secret information INCREDIBLY necessary for his plan to CSS?"
Consider the conversation he eavesdropped on, and the part about pillars.
In a way he was treating her as the pillar that he overheard her referring to when he eavesdropped....so basically…
Yeah, but have you noticed she has a tendency to assume the worst intent from most other character's actions when that's usually not the case?
She declined the medicine because she assumed he was the one who reported her bridge high-jinks to her parents, but she was wrong.
Like he says, she doesn't see him at all - but that's because she's learnt to be defensive and assume the worst in others. She's pre-determined not to 'see' him nor Yuan Shen, nor any others of their ilk, to protect herself.
...and yes, you're quite right. He's still adorable either way.
:)

...has Leo Wu had a nose job?
Of course, I could be wrong.
Frickin'
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
*throws a crying fit'
I DOAN WANNA WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIT
The actress playing CSS' mum, Zeng Li, is just hitting this one out of the park!!
