Draco

He was on screen, i just i didn't make the connection until someone told me about him, he was the guy mcz spoke to before he quit. Later we heard he and the sister were getting a divorce so it could be they were not on good term.

I asked the same question, and some one answered he is the one in charge of the law firm mcz worked at before he resigned.

I watched it a while ago, but i think it has to do with her control of mist soul. That's why they have to make so much plan in order to get back mist soul from zhu yu. Zhu yu is a powerful being, and i think ying xuwei as a guardian is just not as powerful to take back mist soul from her.

There was that conversation he had with grandma about sunflower seed i wonder if it has anything to do with it, something about the outside is black but the inside is white i wonder if she's referring to yzm as a sunflower seed. Also before grandma died he was bringing sunflowers and he said he's giving it as a gift i was wondering if the flower was meant for mch or for grandma, since if it was meant for mch why didn't he give it to her?

I think the regret has to do with leaving him to fend for himself when he was younger as a result their relationship suffered from them not living close to each other, isn't that why she introduced him to the mai family? Why did she let the mai family used the old western house and then gifting him with the house, doesn't it looks like she's leaving him to them to take care of him in her place. And yzm didn't lie to mch, in the letter grandma left to him she said she made the choice to leave the management of xing'anli to mch because she wants to give her an opportunity, that means it's his grandmother last wish and he should honor her wish and help mch keeps xing'anli from falling into the hands of outsider. I thinks the meaning in her words to him is asking him to help mch with xing'anli without exactly saying it as she is saying there's more better things in life like family rather than profits and promotions.

Thanks ^^

It's rare to see a drama being air every day like bce, i'm happy to be able to watch this drama everyday. Does anyone know what is the date of the last ep of this drama?

It's a drama about a mother and daughter relationship, so the mother does have lots of screen times, however it still a very good family drama with lots family conflicts and work related. It's a slow burn romance between main leads so check a few eps to see if the drama is something you will like.

Mao is fast, once she decides she wants zao she went for the kiss, so the second lead couple is established while the main lead still hasn't make progress. That first date was so funny, the father and brother tag along on their fishing trip, if looks could kill ^^

The mother was so protective of her daughter, that drunk guy totally deserved it, it was so funny when the mother chased after the guy with her shoe. It's a good thing yzm came and helped them out, mch was moved by her mother wanting to protect her and she realizes her mother needs her that's why she decides to move back home. Mch got the master bedroom while yzm being the owner got the attic, the mother is clear on her priority lol, she gave her daughter the best room in the house. It's becomes clear the mother loves the daughter and wants her to move back home, so her obsession with cooking her food every day while waiting for her to move back i'm kind of feel sad for her, it's pitiful to be that desperate to be in her daughter life, i also feel pity for her son, she put so much attention on her daughter that she neglected her son, it's almost like she doesn't she anyone else beside her daughter. I'm liking the interaction between yzm and mch's mother, she is not afraid to speak her mind but she met her match because he's just as frank and is not afraid to speak his mind unlike her family who are afraid to hurt her feeling. Also it's apparent the brother and dad are really apprecitative of the mother because she is responsible for everything in the house including cooking and cleaning and they think it's hard work that's why she's respected in the family. It's such a nice change to see the males in the family so understanding about what it's like being a housewife ^^

I'm really liking yzm and mch relationship and this is when they've not dated, now i can't wait for how their relationship will develop now that yzm confessed to mch. I thought mch would turn him down because she was not ready to date again after her last boyfriend, but turns out she's not unaffected by his charms and is actually considering him as a potential boyfriend ^^

If he like her for 10 years it must be very serious, it's not easy to hold on to a childhood crush, but he was able to hold on to such feeling for an older woman who is his sister's bestfriend. I think the brother is kind of quiet and shy, so he must not have a big social circle as a result i can see how he could fall in love with his sister's bestfriend especially if she's nice to him and gave him lots of attention. This type of love story kind of reminded me of a drama starred zhao lusi and chen zhezhuan that was aired recently and got very popular, i didn't watch it but i saw avenue x talked about it in her reviewed of the drama, and it's the same type of love story but the different is fl fell in love with her brother's bestfiiend at a very young age, and she holds the flame for him until she became older.

She sees him as a brother before he confessed to her, so she's a bit shocked after the confession, so their awkwardness is realistic. The best friend is youthful so i don't see anything wrong with their dating as the brother is mature for his age. However i don't feel their chemistry other than sibling, maybe that will change after seeing them becoming a couple.

Does anyone understand what grandma means when she said she brought yzm into the mai family? I feel grandma did it purposely when she invited mch parents to live in her western house and then she will the house to yzm, it's almost like she's asking them to take care of him in her place. At least that how the mother is thinking, because she think she has a purpose to live there, to keep yzm from being lonely. For some reason i find the mother is really entertaining with all her antics, she is the type to not know how to keep a secret, now that she comes into good fortune she's announcing her good fortune to everyone she knows, even the husband can't help laughing. What does he dong means when he said yzm was going to confess to mch, is he saying what i'm thinking that yzm was going to confess to mch about his feeling? I kind of feel bad for yzm because he didn't get the hotel he wanted from grandma, but i kind of understand why grandma didn't give it to him, yzm came back for the hotel, but if he got the hotel then he would've gotten what he wanted and leave the country and go back to headquarter for his promotion and leave the hotel to some outsider care, that's what grandma is afraid of. Grandma wants him to stay in china and want him to find more meaning in life rather than just profit and promotion.

The mother wanting to be of help to her daughter, so she decides to question the hotel chef is kind of funny, i think she has a point, the dish made for older people should be adjusted compare to younger people, i think that chef should loosen up a little and experienced with the menus like mch mother suggested.

I don't hate the mom, i think she has gone too far managing her daughter life, but i think she's from the older generation and she kind of represent a typical asian parent who always think they're right and can't take any criticism. In asian society, filial piety is a big part of a family life, so this drama is not far from reality. Also it's an interesting dynamic as we're seeing the mother as the head of the household rather than the husband as a result she has the final say in a lot of decision making rather than the dad, and the dad just goes along with whatever she says. Also it's typical that the parents are more worry for the daughter than the son, the son seems to have more freedom and independent than his older sister. I think this reflect the different treatment between males and females in a typical asian household.

I don't know how i feel about mch's brother and best friend, but i got to say they've a very good understanding of each other. That ex-husband of mao is such a creep, copying her design and now sueing her to keep his reputation because he's afraid of being exposed that he was using his wife's design.

Grandma talks to yzm about the hotel, and told him she values her staffs over money, and she's telling yzm she consider her staffs as family just like him. For yzm to give up on xianli for grandma health shows he truly loves his grandma, and grandma also notices the change and told him he has a human touch, i'm assuming she meant he's not as cold hearted as he showed outwardly. Is her talk with him means she finally decides who she wants to leave the hotel to, since at the end of ep 18 looks like she was finalizing her will.

From the way mch buying cheongsam for grandma, shows how much she understood grandma compares to yzm. From watching up to this point, it's can be seen that mch and grandma have a deep bond and it's the highlight of this drama compare to the mother daughter relationship that was said in the synopsis.

When grandma talks to mch about being independent but also asking for help when needed is very good advice. Grandma has such good wisdom and understanding about family and individual's freedom. She is such a graceful lady, yzm said she is his only family showing he truly cares for her.

I think for yzm character as xukai is closer to this character, he would understood this character more than you and i. Before i watched this drama, i read an interview of xukai and he talk about his character yzm in best choice ever and i thought it was really interesting when he said yzm is the type of person who could use anyone for gains even the female lead, and he's only wearing a mask to protect himself from getting hurt. From his interview i can tell xukai has studied this character, and he shape this character as how he understands him and in another interview in a fan meeting he was ask about how the character was, he said he could've play this character colder in order to show his change later on. So there's a conscious effort of xukai to understand the character and play him as how he see this character inner struggle. For me yzm coldness is only a facade to protect himself, and the warm he showed to grandma and mzh are true because they both are the two people who he got the closest to.

Not sure why mch and yzm's dynamic has anything to do with the break up with xjl, mch and yzm got involved together because of their care for grandma, and mch even told yzm she saw him as family, i think she was the first to see him as family when yzm has been abandon by his own parents, so their relationship started from being boss/employee to become relative. As the ep i'm watching, mch even called yzm as her brother, so not understanding what do you mean when you said their dynamic changing too fast, when they're still not even acknowledge having any feeling for each other beside being related to grandma.

I got spoiled about grandma dead, and i'm sad for both yzm and mch. Grandma is such a positive influence on the both of them, and i think she is shipping them together with the way she always smile when they're both fighting with each other. It looks like lady zhang visit caused grandma to have a heart attack because she made known about her deal with yzm that grandma said she didn't know about. What did lady zhang did for yzm that she kept pressuring him about their deal.

The grandma is close to fl because when fl was a kid and gotten sick, grandma paid for her treatment. The parents then let mch spend time with grandma and visit her often since grandma is all alone as thanks for her helped. The dad on the other hand never got along with grandma because his dad married later in life and they don't spend time together as a family. The mother have to force him to go see grandma when mch broke up with her ex-boyfriend to ask grandma to comfort mch since they couldn't help her. I think the grandma and fl have a close relationship because fl have spend lots of times with grandma over the years. Grandma told fl to be independent because fl is still living at home and she's letting her mother make decision for her and not pushing for boundary. Ml on the other hand has never have a family of his own, all he cares about is interests and promotion because he never experienced the warm of family, even his relationship with grandma only started to become warmer after he came back from abroad, before that they only communicated through letters.

I like his voice so i think he did well with voicing his character. Also xukai has many good dramas beside yanzi palace.

They're actors and they're acting. Also yangzi character is a very blessed woman who has both her parents, brother and grandma around her to give her a good support so she was able to become such a sensible woman. Xukai character on the other hand has a hard childhood, he loss his mother since young, his father went to jail, his grandparents got divorce and he live abroad and just came back from oversea. Their characters have different upbringing. Not sure why you think he's not immersing in his character when he's acting exactly as how i would imagine such type of character would act. Also they were not just boss-employee, they also had grandma as a bridge to bring them closer. It's not like they automatically thinking about dating each other, but rather they gotten closer in the process of their interaction while caring for grandma.
