Insufferable treatment of Xiao Fang
I watched about 4 episodes out of 18 of this drama. I also went to a few other episodes and clicked on them to see if things were slightly different / better but … nope IMO.
Pls note: Different strokes for different folks and there is no accounting for tastes. 🙏🏼✌🏼
After reading the kind sharings by others, I thought to give it a try. The first episode was all right. The second episode onwards got more and more insufferable. The ML’s family didn’t treat the FL as a human being. “She’s pregnant, so her price will be cheap.” Hey, she was having a baby! And the baby had a father - your son. The whole family was stingy and mercenary and full of misogynistic nonsense. It was painful to watch and I hated seeing them yelling and plotting. The FL’s family seemed tight knit but had their own woes. Everyone so called wanted the best for either the ML or the FL but was making things worse and worse for both of them. Additionally, the ML didn’t have spine and was also insufferable to watch. As the drama continued, I became more and more upset and angrier and angrier. I felt that such great injustice was done to Xiao Fang and to women, in general, who get impregnated and bear children without love and respect and dignity and support from the partner/ spouse. I felt true pain - emotional and mental! I was boiling mad! Xiao Fang deserved better and she was a pretty fine girl.
I think it’s good to remember that no matter boy or girl - to his/ her family, this child is precious and so, pls treat the child as you would your own. Not asking you to love him/ her as you would towards your own flesh and blood but at least to be respectful and kind towards this individual.
Due to the pain I felt, I could not continue watching this drama. It reeks of misogyny and small minds and old patriarchal mentality/ practices which irk me to no end! Bye to this one!
