I had this argument with another commenter here. The FL character was written terribly. It’s like the writer lost brain cells. I mean this family raised her with absolute love and care and she treated the dad with so much disrespect with the excuse she’s busy. Meanwhile, she could hop a plane to her biological family in an instant over a necklace and forgot she’s busy.

She’s placed on this high horse that everyone drops things for and she can be selfish if she wants. Looks like in their bid to show she’s successful they forgot to make the FL a well rounded character. Don’t even get me started on that forced relationship with the ML. Even to the very end of the show she still treated him not well.

Ruined the show for me.

Let's agree to disagree.

That’s the thing she first spent 3 days with her biological family, don’t even call her own dad all those while and remembered him only afterwards. That’s the disregard I meant. She suddenly puts her biological family first.

So, confronting her nephew (because of the necklace her biological father gave her) was more important to buy a ticket and go home than actually visiting her adopted father all these years. She wasn’t broke anymore and still never went.

The thing is after she proved herself, she never did. Even up until recent episodes he is still the one coming to her.

I love an intelligent and smart FL. I am enjoying this so far.

Have you seen the latest episode? All the years she’s been to Shenzhen, never for once traveled to visit her dad, barely even calls him. Then suddenly a nephew who just showed up took something her biological dad gifted her and she took the first transport back to home. Worse of it is she didn’t even contact her dad for days. She spent all the time with her biological family then showed up days later.
Isn’t that disrespect, I don’t know what else is.
Yes, one can absolutely seek out their biological family if they find out they were adopted, but that should not make the person neglect the family that loved and raised them.

Yes, help them by all means. But don’t suddenly start acting like you’re responsible for all of them and the solution. Doing this while neglecting her own father

It’s that distancing that’s a problem. The adopted family never did anything to her. She is more forgiving to the people who hurt her a number of times and even traveled all the way to them first before going to her own father who raised her. That’s not logical at all. It only shows that the drama is stressing the importance of blood over nurturing and love, which is nonsense to me.

Its disappointing then. The FL is written badly (absolutely has nothing to do with Tang Songyun's acting or skills). I feel so bad for her parents who raised her.

Yep, I saw that too 🤭

The more I watch this drama, the more I understand its low rating. FL treating everyone from her abandoned family better than her adopted family. She's some moral saint with high ground and the solution to everyone. A complete 360 of her childhood character.

Suddenly she can go home to confront her supposed nephew, but never for once all these years went home to visit her dad (even during the chinese new year that's very important). I can understand when she was feeling guilty towards him, but then they made up and she became more well off and still the family that raised her is an after thought.

The drama is desperately trying to sell that blood family (even if they are horrible people and traumatised you) are better than the people who were there for you and loved you.

I wonder what they are thinking. Trying to emotionally blackmail all the abandoned Chinese kids I see.

Who else noticed how the opening score of this show starts out cool and beautiful and after a while, turns dark and ominous. I think it relates to the general structure of this drama, filled with coolness and yet dark too.

OMG! That battle scene when he whisks her up on to his horse, chef's kiss! The director is definitely outdoing himself. I have all the needed butterflies in my stomach and can feel them fluttering 🤣

😊

☺️

I will take it at this point. 🤭

NOOOOOO! So I am stuck to this half cup until close to the end 😭

His case is a case of when you've told a lie for so long, you don't know how to start telling the truth anymore. He is scared of what the truth will mean for them. Unfortunately the longer the lie festers, the worse the reaction.

AHHHH! This show is so funny. The subtle humour is so great. I LOVE IT! When is 2 episodes per day returning, who know?

I mean the producers should have clarified so the viewers also become aware. With such a thing as sensitive as mental health, they shouldn’t be writing a stalking psychologist character who suddenly over cares for his patient.

I agree 💯. I do think the drama is just trying to draw viewers heartstrings even if it is illogical and completely unfounded in reality 🤣. Like, I don't know how I will withstand 40 episodes of this myself, phew!
Dramas shouldn't be so try hard in eliciting emotions of its viewers. If it's there, it is there. Forcing it and foregoing reason is disastrous.
