Love (X) will be the death of me đ€Łđ€Ł Just finished watching episode 8 and they are playing with my heart đ€Łđ€Ł Heart is always beating...đđ when TIME, SUNNY, TOD and NAMNUNG are the main focus.
Allow me to dissent. Grandma doesn't know AT ALL how the world can be brutal to the women, otherwise she wouldn't…
Youâre overthinking this, as if you can read the grandmotherâs mind. Youâve heard one story and decided you fully understand her trauma and what she wants for her grandchildren. Thatâs not fair. I seem to have heard the RONG family has/had several grandfathers and they let them go If I am not mistaken (I wonder what happened).
The grandmother gave the FL a choice. She knows all kinds of men with different personalities will appear in the FLâs/RONG's sisters lives. Did she force her to choose Mr. Yan or anyone else? No. She simply wanted the FL to marry, because remaining unmarried forever is not realistic in that era. The grandmother is far from perfect, but she has done well so far in her role. Frankly, imagine how unbearable it would be if she were written as constantly irritating or unreasonable. She has managed to hold power until now and protect the RONG family, the only matrilocal family shown in the drama. Do people really think itâs easy to stand against officials or prestigious clans? Can anyone just do that without consequences or political influence trying to topple their power?
The RONG familyâs affairs are largely in the FLâs hands. The grandmother only intervenes in extreme cases that require her authority. Power struggles within families, especially over inheritance or leadership, are nothing new in C-dramas or in history.
That said, I do agree there was poor writing in episode one. The abduction of the women, including the FL, and the grandmother showing no concern made no sense at all, especially considering the FL is effectively the head of the RONG family.
Back to the grandmother. She is elderly and has lived through countless hardships. She has every right to educate her children based on experience. In ancient times, people were framed, killed, or worse, even raped, because of naivety. Thankfully, one of the RONG sisters (FML) is intelligent enough to survive. The RONG family has been prestigious for years, which naturally means many enemies. Outside a matrilocal system, plenty of men still cling to patriarchy. Look at Mr. Yang, someone forceful, controlling, and arrogant. You can easily imagine how the family would have been destroyed if someone like him had married In.
As for the ML, yes, heâs a good match, but he also has many enemies. We know this as the audience, but he hasnât been fully honest and has been acting secretive. That lack of transparency can easily cause problems and give villains opportunities to interfere. The RONG family knows nothing about his background, so if accusations or suspicions arise against the ML, they are justified in questioning or challenging him until the FL explains everything. And honestly, does she even know everything about him?
LOL fr. I was like "no Time why" but at the same time I was thinking "yes Time, you're pushing them…
I am still worried though. SUNNY is currently having conflicting feelings for both TIME & NAMNUNG. Also, we have yet to see a bathtub scene with TIME & SUNNY. We have three (3) more episodes left. The final choice now depends on SUNNY.
I am scared to watch the rest of the episodes. I am thinking of watching after all episodes have been released. I don't want to have a heart attack every week.
idk where to discuss the new eps but im on ep 13 and im wondering does Tod actually like Time or is just the editing…
TOD definitely likes TIME & NAMNUNG. Not sure who the 3rd person is. But, TIME isn't exactly giving him green light, which sucks for him. Worst part is NAMNUNG doesn't like him other than as friends. NAMNUNG now only likes SUNNY.
Todayâs episode was definitely mind-blowing (I already knew there was a spark between NAMNUNG and SUNNY), but the next preview was scary. I did not see that coming from TIMEâespecially what he did to NAMNUNG. It was definitely unmanly of him no matter how jealous.
LOL fr. I was like "no Time why" but at the same time I was thinking "yes Time, you're pushing them…
Yeah, I think you read the body language wrong. Sheâs just a close friend with MATHEUS. If you noticed, NAMNUNGâs left hand was at SUNNYâs side (waist) in a light tapping motion - The timeframe was starting from (22:03), and she even had her hand on SUNNYâs thigh (from 52:19 to 58:23). NAMNUNG might be trying not to be too obvious with SUNNY.
At the start (2:45), NAMNUG was telling MATHEUS she had feelings for someone else and she invited SUNNY. It might seem like she was playing. But there are hidden meanings.
It seems like SUNNY & NMANUNG grew closer based off their subtle gestures or body language and I think NAMNUNG highlighted that there might be something between TIME & TOD. Very Intriguing.
LOL fr. I was like "no Time why" but at the same time I was thinking "yes Time, you're pushing them…
Yes, NAMNUNG and SUNNY might be bolder now. I canât wait; but the preview showed TWO guys blurred out (The blur is making it had to guess), standing close to the bed where SUNNY and NAMNUNG were hugging and lying together.
Lol, one of the best things that happened is MATHEUS being injured. If not he would have been more active and would have ruined our SHIPS đ So it's for the greater good.

Youâre completely in line with my thoughts. I donât know if NAMNUNG was so afraid of getting her feelings hurt that she stayed cautious and guarded, but she definitely played a role in the mess đ
If she had just told SUNNY how she felt or stepped forward whenever SUNNY was called outâthings might have been different. Instead, it always felt like she was holding herself back or psyching herself up to act, only to miss her chance every time.
She did something very similar with TIME as well. With both TIME and SUNNY, she hesitates, doesnât act fast enough, and then others end up making decisions for her, which she eventually accepts. In that sense, she really did contribute to the situation.
TIME and SUNNY couldnât tell how NAMNUNG truly felt, which must have been confusing for them and thatâs likely why they kept gravitating toward each other.
Just finished watching episode 8 and they are playing with my heart đ€Łđ€Ł
Heart is always beating...đđ when TIME, SUNNY, TOD and NAMNUNG are the main focus.

So calm down.
That makes sense. I am so bored right now. I think I will start today.
Not necessarily a bathtub scene but in a pool. Not sure I have seen this from previous episodes - https://imgur.com/a/WnWL5Va

Sometimes I think the show is scripted
If she had just told SUNNY how she felt or stepped forward whenever SUNNY was called outâthings might have been different. Instead, it always felt like she was holding herself back or psyching herself up to act, only to miss her chance every time.
