Same… it’s so messed up but it’s the typical thing they are trying to achieve…. Makjang. 🤣🤣 but this one is a bit different, I like it coz it’s not youth/school bully driven…. Hurm…, I just hope they don’t overdo the whole revenge thing… not a fan of revenge themes.

Haha. I felt exactly the same. But it all disappears in Ep 2. I’m on Ep 3 now… I don’t know, it’s defo not strange or weird anymore but it’s another revenge thrillers again. I’m not a big fan of revenge themes…

Ah… also didn’t notice the book… only the painting metaphor wrt the other dude, the suspect. Thanks!

I think it’s the guy on the run. I was quite surprised coz he was just too good of a narrator… so basically the guy who occupies the shop/storefront on the ground floor of her apartment. BUT… it could be the scenario whereby all the suspects are all in on it to some extent. So they unknowingly caused the butterfly effect thing which the FL quoted. No idea, but I’m defo very hooked onto this series… coz I wasn’t into any of the Light On series.

Because of one of the scenarios that the wife suspects…. He’s gotten himself into something worse than an affair.
Yea, initially I also thought he had to do with the murder but so far it looks……. Hurmmm, likely not….

I think right now it’s 50-50. He’s defo into something, yet to be seen if it’s an affair… though it looks like it but somehow I really think it could be something else coz the way the mysterious girl replies to the txt msgs are weird. And he’s always fully clothed, waiting for her. Not like in a bathrobe or something.

Never watched any other of Song Jia’s works… no idea who she was prior to this… but I really have to say she really fits this role, esp her physique. She really looks the part… Her hair, wardrobe… totally helped as well… like she’s so good. Switching from badass cop to suddenly her home life… interrogating suspects to suddenly confronting her spouse.. 👏🏻

Ep7&8 really hit it home esp for Asian marriages from the preceding generations…. I find it so ironic…. Because the dialogue is so realistic and relatable…..

“We, Parents not getting a divorce is for the sake of children”…. This statement itself is a paradox… because it’s incomplete and contains two opposing facts… they totally shouldn’t get a divorce for the sake of the children only IF they can fix it and IF there is love.

Also the FL’s self-reflection and admission on how she feels over the course of 15 yrs, the progression and unwanted changes were eerily realistic… communication is crucial… or maybe like they’ve highlighted; “love”… regardless of wot form it takes, is very important in a marriage. Love how they illustrated it with flashbacks… the way they did it emulates Wong Kar Wai’s movies…. 😍

Yeap that’s wot I meant she’s a different actress to the lady playing Pei Zhen.

Ah! I missed out on the bit whereby he used to be a player…. Interesting…. But I actually think that unknown lady is probably married too… otherwise their txt convo is a tad strange.. and it’s actually something else, not an affair. Thanks!

I’m very sure it isn’t the same actress though. I’m serious… I just went back to rewatch. It’s totally a different girl. Nah, their narrative in the cafe confirms they didn’t sleep tog. Yes, maybe they might have flirted, but both of them literally admitted that nothing really happened.

But was it an attempted affair or real affair? Was it even an affair? They didn’t even meet up in the end. Who on Earth is that girl?

I don’t think the husband is like that though….. ok, if he was I defo got conned. 🤣 I do think he’s genuinely worried. I personally think the wife is messing with him and testing him to find out wot he is really hiding. It actually doesn’t look like an affair…..

Huh, no…. Do you remember the scene where they showed the actual flashback on wot happened in those two times in the hotel? It’s actually a different girl altogether. And the both backed out individually on each separate times. Pei Zhen knows about this… and actually helped him cover by not clarifying it wasn’t her. Hence her own divorce…

It’s super intriguing though. Like coz for once it’s not about drugs or like school violence/youth related… I enjoy it so much! the production quality is really high, like the sets and colour grading…. I’m defo impressed, tastefully done. Even the nuances in casting.

Who is the girl that he was trying to meet at the hotel but failed? Wot were they trying to do? It looks like Pei Zhen knows exactly wot it is about….
I watched the unsubbed version…. 😥

Anyone watched like the latest episode already? Ep 8? I have a big question… help…

Not really… it wasn’t really a real triangle tbh.

Wow… the opening scene, she was really cool…. 😳
Oh… only 13 episodes. Interesting…. Damns the first 4 episodes were so good.

She is really very very cute….. she cracks me up…

Story of Ming Lan.

LOL. Hi-5… see… it’s a tad ridiculous. I was like… how stupid is this considering they’ve highlighted this like a zillion times in the drama. 🤦🏻‍♀️ not like it was anything major, but I couldn’t stop myself from rolling my eyes coz it was so damn obvious.
