Well, there is this thing called filial piety, and it is kind of a big thing back in the day in China.
Yeah, the father is foolish and incompetent, no doubt about that. Our ML is too good to go against the filial piety. He takes it seriously and sincerely. On the other hand, his half-brothers follow the fake filial piety, all there for everyone to see but real no substance. ML's father is foolish enough to fall for the fake filial piety, sadly.

I'm not sure about other MDL drama pages, but from what I see here, I can see the same tone of Vince and Hao appearing very condescending to other commenters on this drama page.
I've long figured this out, btw. But didn't care to point it out. I reckon Vince and Hao are the same person or two people who are very good friends in real life with same ideology and with similar condenscending outlook.
I understand the issue a bit, really sad to see ZLS being treated that way. "I Quit", she says. I hope…
Her company is threatening to blacklist her from the industry. And her closing comments in her statement basically were to the effect of, "Don't bother blacklisting me, I quit."
O dear!With this news of Zhao Lusi I hope XK get income protection insurance so if anything happens like sickness…
I understand the issue a bit, really sad to see ZLS being treated that way. "I Quit", she says. I hope it doesn't mean what I think it means (quitting the industry). Definitely standing on her side. She was suffering from depression since 2019 because of the way her company treated her.
It also shows how manipulative the entertainment companies are. I hope XK frees himself from YZ's company and starts his own studio at this point. Do not join any other company.
"Moonlit Reunion" is a Linmon production, and Linmon holds the distribution license. It’s still uncertain…
With the exception of Arsenal Military Academy and The Legends (unfortunately, The Legends is not on Viki in my region), all his other iQiyi dramas are not streaming on Viki.

I am guessing AMA and TL were last of iQiyi dramas to stream on Viki. After 2020-21, they didn't sell licensing to Viki anymore for any of their dramas. The only exception I can think of would be Love Between Fairy and Devil, which Viki somehow managed to get license from iQiyi.
And yes, from SEL to ABAY, all are Tencent dramas.
He is arguing with his mom and he says after all, mom and son are having sex!!
Thanks for confirming. It still is incest though, hence I stuck with it.
Oh yeah, I don't like that she did those horrible things, but I still can't help but feel bad for her. She is a rape survivor, and the man who raped her was her brother, so I get where she is coming from with her treatment of her son, even though her son is the most innocent in all of this.

Pretty dark story.
Before I jump into that, I must say: I read this novel a few months ago. And I read quite a few novels since then, so I probably am mixing things up with another novel storyline. So if any other novel readers feel that I am wrong, please feel free to correct me. Also, I don't remember the details exactly as they were. Another point to be noted, I have only started watching this drama last night, and I put it on hold after watching until ep 2, so I don't know how things are panning out in the drama.
So, here we go:
ML's mother's family is pretty rich. She falls in love with a guy and marries him. They have two children, one of them being ML. But the twist, ML's father is not his mother's husband. She was raped by one of her brothers, which resulted in ML's mother getting pregnant with ML. ML's mother didn't want to keep the child, but her father convinced her to keep the child and, as compensation, he would hand over the family business to her. The guy who raped her later died. Her husband also died. Anyhow, the guy who raped her was extremely possessive of her, from what I recall. ML's mother sees the same characteristics in ML. ML often gets extremely jealous of his brother getting all the attention. And his mother can feel that. She also sometimes, for weird reasons, feels that ML also has incestual thoughts about her. I guess that's her PTSD kicking in. Also, ML's brother, too, dies. And if I remember correctly, ML's mother suspects that ML is behind it.
Personally, I feel bad for his mother in the novel. Putting oneself in her place; would anyone have any good feelings for a son born of an incestuous rape? I know ML is innocent in all this, but that is a huge mental burden for her to see this child and not think of the rape.
Note: I may be remembering it wrong, but she is not blood-related to the family, though. She was adopted, I think. Other novel readers, please correct me on this.

No idea on other SEA countries.
So, the Aug 18th release date rumours might be true after all.
So excited!!!
ML and FL, however, only have eyes for each other.
Definitely standing on her side. She was suffering from depression since 2019 because of the way her company treated her.

There is something more darker that happens which makes her think like that. That is why she avoids him.
