oh, rating suddenly down to 8 in a blink lmao, that's fine, this one has good result in China so ... ;D I guess…
MDL ratings are crazy. Some people start low and go up, others will start high and lower it as the story goes on. No one votes the same way, it makes it difficult to get a clear read.
FLs mother makes my blood BOİL. she just loves money at this point. her behaviour?? ZERO. her accent makes even…
Her mothers generation women didn't have opportunities to be independent. Most Chinese mothers are worried about their daughter’s long term future. In her generation a woman’s marriage match was the most accepted way to secure a stable future. They have had to struggle to make ends meet, so marrying a man who can provide a home, car and life essentials is the baseline expectation. Secondly, in Chinese society you are often judged by others based on your income, the car you drive, area you live in, the place you work, the people you associate with. We see this when the mom is trying to "save face" in the park with the other women in the dance group. She is on the lower levels of society. She has lived her life limited by her humble economic situation that the culture places on her, it has made her insecure. I don't agree with her actions but I also don't blame her for longing for a better life for her daughter....of course herself too. We are seeing her internal fears and hopes bleeding out...It's messy at times, but still realistic. Anyway, as all dramas of this nature are...The characters will grow and mature by the end. We always see the craziness at the start, its the end that matters.
It's not a crazy scenario from what actually happens in China. Mother's can be overbearing about marriage and…
In Tibet, There is a tradition in which a set of brothers will marry one woman. All of their children, regardless of relationship are raised together. No one knows which man is the father or their uncle. The children are a siblings, with one mom and several dads They each marry the woman when they come of age, so she hooks up with the oldest first, a little later the next brother, and so on. There's a documentary on Youtube about it. I still can't wrap my head around it. Freaks me out, in all honest.
H19279 is correct Human Trafficking is a MASSIVE issue in China, they also "trap" women in the idea they are getting a job or an arranged marriage from countries like Vietnam. They end up in China with little to no way out of their circumstances. People are willing to take a risk because of the money they earn. If you are convicted of human trafficking the max penalty is only 3-4 years in prison. Most kids are never found, though in recent years more adults who were kidnapped as children have been able to connect with their birth family through DNA testing, You can also see this on Youtube.
So far - So good.... my only hope is that they don't drag out the breakup with the FL and her BF and the new one forming between her and the ML. Being that is is 37 -45 min episodes it's probably going to be a slow and steady pace.
The FL's mother is just shameless. The way she treats her son and her husband is also despicable. I don't know…
It's not a crazy scenario from what actually happens in China. Mother's can be overbearing about marriage and establishing economic security for their child -family. You'll find loads of stories on YouTube where a bride or her family is placing extreme expectations on housing, a car, job from a groom's family. They honestly have the power to marry up. There is a 40 million man surplus after years of the one-child policy eliminating millions of girls. The real challenge is that educated women in China are less and less interested in marriage or children, they are gravitating toward independence via a career. Only the most successful men have a chance of finding a wife, unless they find a girl who doesn't place a requirement on materialistic needs over love. Many of the women gone to the bigger cities for better oppertunities, men out in the countryside have started marrying girls from SE Asian and Africa. Otherwise they may never have a family.
I find the AI tolerable, but not always enjoyable. I also teach English as a second language. I usually skip through to the couple scenes and then wait to watch the full episode after the manual subs are out.
