Hu Xiu is so adorable and charming. She can be assertive one minute, then bubbly, shy, and a bit clumsy around Zhi Yu. Lu Yu Xiao plays the girl in love so perfectly. You can consistently tell when she's shy and nervous, flirty, or angry. Her personality reminds me of Wen Yi Fan from First Frost and Shen Xi Fan from The Best Thing.
First of all this jerk Pei doesn’t even know what's FL's feeling for him then how come this creep so confidently…
Yeah, I wish she would stop being so polite to him. But it's in her nature to be nice to people. Unfortunately, Pei will continue to misread the situation until it's revealed that HX is his stepbrother's girlfriend.
I think I see where this is going. The mother will speak to the father about giving Hu Xiu a chance. The father will conduct a background check, which will reveal that she's connected to that accident. He will tell Pei Zhen. Pei Zhen will try to play white knight until he finds out that Hu Xiu is Zhi Yu's girlfriend. This could go two ways: Pei Zhen could be selfless and try to help the situation so as not to hurt Hu Xiu, or he could be petty to torment Zhi Yu. Whatever he does, I don't really care. But I suspect the writers will redeem Pei Zhen's character (I'm not sure what happened in the novel). But ultimately, it will be Hu Xiu's father who causes the temporary breakup we're anticipating.
He has his own baggage to settle with & HX misread the situation (you can see how preoccuppied his mind when…
Chasing her and kissing her was way more than an apology. Actions beat words in this situation. It showed he’s just as crazy about her and couldn’t wait around for a speech. She was happy with it too—she got startled at first, but she welcomed it right after. So I’m not sure what the poster is even complaining about. lol
Why do people keep defending red flag behavior?I loved the drama, but the male lead going cold after leading her…
That's human nature. Relationships get complicated and messy. What did you expect? Him to throw away his dignity and beg? He's always had a conscience. He liked her and backed her from the start. He let her build confidence and chase her career, protected her, and looked out for her. Toxic guys don't do that. Being imperfect doesn't make him toxic. News flash: perfect people and relationships don't exist.
Wait did he by accident sign his real name on a document he gave her from the past or his father’s in his hurry…
yea, buckle up. You know what's coming. First the main couple has to overcome one set of obstacles to be together. Then, once they're happy together and start dating, the other shoe drops. lmao
Am I the only one who's looking forward to seeing Pei Zhen's delusion about Hu Xiu shattered into a million pieces? I can't wait for him to find out that the girl he likes (I doubt he really likes her) is dating his younger brother, and she's madly in love with him. lol
"Hu Xiu made up her mind to not care for ML anymore.."She did the opposite. She cared so much she went…
She wanted to leave because she was avoiding him. She wanted to avoid him because every time she saw him, it stirred up emotions in her. That's the opposite of moving on. Her reaction (crying + anger) before his passionate kiss is proof that she was far from ready to move on. I think you're underestimating how much she likes the ML. She fell first.
"Hu Xiu made up her mind to not care for ML anymore.."She did the opposite. She cared so much she went…
I see it differently. She gave him that ultimatum to push him into deciding. It was about forcing his hand, not walking away. By then, she's already head over heels in love. She had no idea he felt the same. She breaks down in tears in that scene because she's scared he might admit he doesn't like her. The whole thing was her way of getting him to open up and commit. Her mind wasn't set at all. The FL was way too much in love to make a clean break like that. Zhao's situation is different.
What I love about this drama is that both our FL and SML are so strong! Zhao got rid of her husband and Hu Xiu…
"Hu Xiu made up her mind to not care for ML anymore.."
She did the opposite. She cared so much she went into a game and went on a killing spree. She wasn't really ready to give up on the ML at all. She's strong, but also very vulnerable, which makes her human and very relatable.
Unlike PZ, ZY wasn't petty enough to use his relationship with HX to provoke his brother. His first move was to…
Your analysis is spot on. I guess I just wanted to see their marriage as a story of resilience. But as you said, their broken marriage is realistically portrayed. I guess we have the main couple's love story to drive home the point about resilience. Let's see how they handle the ML's past.
I really like this kind of female lead. She comes across as a real person. She's strong and decisive, but she has vulnerable moments too. She's loyal to her friends and sets clear boundaries with guys she's not into. And she loves the people she cares about with total commitment.
She didn't make the male lead beg for forgiveness. She didn't try to make him jealous by using his brother—it was his own overthinking that did that. She wasn't even distant with him. She just felt confused and worried about what he really felt for her. But she refused to let him string her along, not knowing if he liked her or not.
That's a good lesson for young women: if the guy you're with can't decide how he feels about you, walk away. Don't spend your time on someone who's unsure.
And finally, her innocence and bubbliness feels so fresh.
Unlike PZ, ZY wasn't petty enough to use his relationship with HX to provoke his brother. His first move was to…
"I personally wouldn't like to see any type of resilience cause it's not a marriage that is worth to keep."
Yes, it's not worth saving because they wrote that way. All I'm saying is that I would love to see another version of that marriage that shows that a marriage can survive extensive periods of adversity. However, they made WG totally unresponsive to her concerns and needs, instead of giving him positive character development.
"but a husband that doesn't bat an eye when his wife is hit can go straight to garbage."
Yes, that moment was an eye-opener. A husband's primary responsibility is to protect his wife. He really became unredeemable at that point.
I'm glad Pei Zhen talked about the company to his dad. I'm wondering how this while thing will get fixed.I was…
Unlike PZ, ZY wasn't petty enough to use his relationship with HX to provoke his brother. His first move was to protect her. The funny part is that PZ thought HX understanding of him was a plus. It backfired on him fast. For someone betrayed by a loved one, HX is fiercely loyal.
What I like about this female lead isn't just that she knows what she wants. She's strong and vulnerable too. She stands up for herself, but she doesn't always have the answers. That's why ZY entering her life mattered so much. Sure, he messed up sometimes, but overall, he empowered her and protected her at every turn. Now they're happy, but trouble's on the way. I hope the writers do right by these characters and don't let them backslide when things get hard.
I wanted ZX and WG's marriage to show resilience against tough times (that would've been the better plot, in my view). For once, I'd like to see a couple fight to keep their marriage going. But the writers went another direction. Sorry, I'm not a fan of GH as the rebound guy, if that's the direction they're taking.
Women in a relationship generally want attention, affection, and the feeling of being protected. He failed at every single task.
She did the opposite. She cared so much she went into a game and went on a killing spree. She wasn't really ready to give up on the ML at all. She's strong, but also very vulnerable, which makes her human and very relatable.
