I caught that too! Where he was subtlety like "wouldn't you actually like to live in a palace" and she was all "nah, I don't want to make my existence tied to fighting for a man's affections based on how often I can give birth".

😅 I know I definitely under the wrong impression about this show thinking it was going to be more cutesy rom-com. It's good for sure, just not what I thought it was going to be!

I don't personally use it but my mother used to bruise easily when she was taking a blood pressure medication at one point. She just used a generic version not a name brand though.

😅 Sold as a semi-peaceful, funny, romantic romp on a farm filled with silly relatives ....

Giving us scheming and backstabbing over money, blatant favoritism, meat pies, and near death experiences after deliberately orchestrating someone to have a miscarriage.

That was my thought with the step-mom too, she was just so over the top bad that it felt like a deliberate choice.

Idk if it's technically what they're using in dramas but bruise creams do exist and they use something called arnica in either a cream or gel form to help reduce and reabsorb the blood flow in the area.

This show seemed both a lot longer than 24 episodes and a lot shorter than 24 episodes. Everything is jam-packed and often cases will run for most of two episodes. Comedy is definitely a hilight of the show but it also gets rather deep at times dealing with some heavier issues.

Overall this show should definitely not be missed.

Watched all 4 episodes and found it absolutely hilarious. Just when you think you know how somethings going to go they seem to flip it and go in another direction 😂

Still laughing at the VERY quickly reconned husband/baby storyline of end of ep 1 beginning ep 2.

Idk if you're still interested but it's now on YouTube with Eng subs under title Her Silent Protector https://youtu.be/UCED96TcMsg?si=1UC8gdpwzTPNqDM-

yes

Short and full of OTT drama but highly watchable without any major plot holes that I saw. Hope to see Li Pei En in more things in the future because he was amazing in this show.

I'm in the camp that he's not dead. People just don't pay attention to details. BUT, even if "you" think he's dead I still wouldn't consider it a bad ending necessarily. In fact, less so for Nan Chu than say Milan and Miaomiao with Yu's death because she has stated multiple times that she is fully aware of the risks and knows that if she does get that call she CAN survive alone and happy.

Honestly, I don't think he's dead based on the fact that the scene before the dance had Lin showing up "last" with Yang, who was clearing sitting in the dance audience, already there before-hand along with Yu and Dangang.

So then why would there be an empty seat for such an important performance and why was everyone sad? Well they were emotional because the dance was supposed to BE emotional. It was a tribute to their firefighting, especially, it looked like the forest fire that they had all fought viciously. Of course it's emotional, some of them probably saw people die during the fire, sacrificing their life trying to stop it from spreading. Look back and there were definitely scenes of firefighters catching on fire head to toe while others could only continue to fight the fire as their uniform was in tatters from burns.

Lin meanwhile, the head of that station, he can't just take leave whenever he wants now that he has dedicated himself to it. He has given himself a mission so while he is there with Nan Chu in spirit, he can't actually come to her performance. (If anything it's u realialistic that as many of them as DID attend would have been able to attend but that's not what the scriptwriter/director was trying to convey I don't think so it gets a pass).

Honestly though, even if the whole thing were to say that nope, he did actually die and just forget the scene before the dance as meaningless, it wouldn't matter. The entire story has stated from basically the beginning that they are aware of the risks and Nan Chu is capable of living her life without his physical presence.

To the end I stand by my rating of a 10/10.

I was initially interested in SWK but seeing all the comments around "filial piety" and such being a huge factor Idk if I have the emotional capacity for Fireworks In My Heart 2.0 mommy issues.

I was considering Alliance or maybe even switching things up a bit and going non-romance main plot with the new Truth of Scent or and older one like The Ferryman or The Bureau of Transformers 🤯😵‍💫🤯

I know that feeling all too well 😭 Every time I manage to cross a show off my CW list it feels like one more pops up there and three more (at least) on PTW

If you set your expectations right then it absolutely won't. While this is 100% a romance I would honestly categorize it as romance secondary to the everyday lives of the firefighters with Lin and Nan Chu's romance as the "highlight" of the story but not the main focus if that makes sense. That being said, there is a LOT of romance between the two of them including kisses and implied other things lol.

I'm pretty sure it was. It's probably going to be a combination of his intense guilt over Yu vs his friend amd then seeing Milan and MiaoMiao at the funeral and knowing that he has a wife and son roughly around her age that's going to put the final nail in the coffin so to speak is my guess.

Here I was all prepared for relationship drama and a possible break-up because of the fire/paparazzi and instead they spring THIS on us instead. Way to focus on what we might be really interested in with the previews. Guess the question now is... stronger through it together or will this be the straw to drive them apart?

I think it's going to be Dagong. He's not going to be able to handle the mixture of seeing the family torn apart and daughter fatherless knowing it was "his" fault while ALSO having a wife and son around the same age is my guess.

me too but somehow it still shocked me that it was today
