Glad I'm not the only one who was not quite happy with the way the writers chose to resolve their conflict.
she should have told him about CXQ, right when he the nephew started bothering her. she claimed that she didn't told him becauseof his temper, but the truth is most likely that she feared his reaction towards her. she withhold that info about her past, because she's happy with him and her marriage, and didn't want any trouble to come between them.
People are here already calling ML a bad husband because he will get jealous when he learns about GJZ former crush with CXQ, but I get him. He told his brother in yesterday's episodes that him and his wife locked hearts when they first met, and then to learn that this was not quite the truth is probably a heartbreaking realization for him.
Rewatching the scene where GJZ first meets CYY (ep01) and I love how bluntly she stares at him, so long that even her cousin saw it and lead her away - it's evident that girl was in awe with CYY from the very beginning.
GJZ crying when talking with her grandmother before she marries was beautiful, imo.
her grandmother represents her childhood and safety space, and when she weds, she knows that she (to be part of a true marriage) has to leave her childhood (grandma) behind, because only an adult can can be a true wife/husband to their spouse.
and when she imagined her mother, it was in a way not only acknowledging her as her mother but also part of her life and childhood, something she struggled before.
i like that the writers understand what they are doing, for example:when CYY arrives at the Gu mansion, after he got informed about YX and him entering the Gu mansion without permission - CYY just kicks him to the ground. and that's it. no dialogue between them or any other kind of interaction. YX, despite his internal struggle, deserved that kick from CYY and he knows it, that's why we got that internal "goodbye" from him to GJZ at the end. Him not attacking CYY after the kick, and him lying defeated on the ground, shows us that the character understands that he has to let go of GJZ and move on.
a little advice: if you don't like the main couple, you should stop watching this show. GJZ only loves CYY, wants to marry and stay with him. She doesn't have any kind of romantic attraction towards SML, and that won't change til the end of the drama. It won't also help to twist certain scenes or moments and their meanings to fit your narrative.
I'm reposting and translating a Weibo post from someone who believes GJZ loves YX (in a way different from loving…
GJZ is crying because he's her friend, but also because she's responsible for his pain. She feels guilty for it and that's why her reaction is so dramatic.
seeing the rising conflict between GJZ, CYY & CYQ - I'm looking forward to it because it will show that despite her cleverness, GJZ has still a lot to learn. It's not smart from her to hide the fact that she once had a crush on CYQ from her fiance, who is not only ML's nephew but also lives in the same house. that just promises trouble.
the thing with YX is that he's been building a wall around side him - stopping him from getting close to anyone. GJZ was being friendly with him because she probably saw that he's the same as her, and treated him as an equal. He liked that and developed love for her, unaware that her kindness came from understanding and compassion, and not from romantic love.
she's not in love with him and he has to accept that. only then can he be a true friend to her.
i must admit that even as someone who likes tragic endings, this seems to be unnecessary cruel for an ending. it's okay to let main characters die, but not in a way that makes you hate the "good" people.
so far so good. i like that there is not yet much romantic tension between the leads, but I'm looking forward to when the romantic part starts between them. Can't also wait for He Simu to experience the 5 senses she's lacking.

she's the most emotional complex character of the show and deserves her flowers.

btw, I get why some fans are drawn to YeXian - he's pitiful. that's it.
can't wait for the romance scenes to start
the cinematography is beautiful, but I just have to the agree with others that the dramas of GJM have no true "soul".
Something is missing imo.
