It is usually assumed to be a female problem, but in this case it isn’t. The humor they attempted in sample room I could have done without. It was just weird and unnecessary. 😝 Xue You is undergoing various tests and instead of comforting each other they curl up facing opposite walls. The crux of it is they don’t seem to know how to be a united front for each other. They can support similar efforts in career and in wanting a child, but it is still like each individually going through their own trial rather than growing together to rely on each other and become a single family unit. They can’t be truthful with his mom and barely with each other as they struggle through this experience. They have no tacit or verbal understanding between them. They are closer to their work colleagues than each other. And while this is supposed to be addressing serious matters with humor, it is just even sadder because the humor falls flat with the chasm between them. The actors are not at fault as they can act well. This is just told poorly via the writing. The script has little compassion for the actual couple and focuses on the peripherals. There are so many distractions that the couple gets lost in the background. They are never allowed to be each others main focus. So far in 8 episodes, there was only the one scene where they were truly together and in sync. After four years of marriage this isn’t cute or funny. We should have seen them in therapy, or couple seminars working together. Not him still at home with his mom and her still not in wife mode in her own home. They still have no real private time and are undermined as a couple by interested third parties causing distractions. They should be forging together to become stronger or saying their goodbyes and start really living apart. I am not even rooting for these two to become parents. They aren’t even a couple yet.

Mom’s healthy eating plan is not so appetizing. He gets oysters. She gets pig fat. The pressure is on for child making and her age is working against her. Single mom at work is getting too close to hubby and pharmacy guy is too close for comfort. Our couple needs a distraction free zone. There is too much stress for easy conceiving.

I Ling’s work colleague has officially gone into labor and everybody is gathered around midwife waiting for the arrival. The dad shows up with ring, but doesn’t propose just yet. This is the first time our couple has had and taken the time for a candid conversation. I Ling shares her fear of motherhood and Xue You comforts her and gives her a clearer perspective of past events. There is a sweet diaper changing class and it’s the first time I felt mutual chemistry from them. Her biological clock may have woken up and she is happily considering a real family with her husband. It is refreshing to see them on the same page and as a united couple with no outside influences. I have great hopes for them if he can get out of his mother’s house.

Auntie sent mom home after a day. She is appreciated there as much as at home. 😂 Right when our couple was finally getting couple time, mom arrived to ruin the moment. Xue You comes to the aid of single gal who is bombing at a job site. The owner is very mad and he calms things down and gives her some OJT so she will be better prepared for next job. He also gallantly takes the blame and spares her the harsh words from client. I Ling goes to pharmacy to pay for medicine and see handsome pharmacist again. The power goes out and our couple finds themselves in sweet romantic settings but apart not together. He see the stars and has a nice chat with the single gal, and she is playing campfire games with the cute pharmacy owner. She has reason to think that cute pharmacy guy is who she’s been chatting with in dating app. He might be thinking the same. Just enough time has passed for interested thoughts from the third parties and the power comes back on for our married couple to head back home.

The dad sure lives it up when ma leaves.😂 He is a whole other person. Their bbq plan turns into pizza party with dad’s order. The guys make a huge mess and I Ling rebels at cleaning up after them. She dresses up in a pretty dress and does her best to entice her husband to clear the table and come up for dessert. When she finds him still at play she reminds him again and watches tv with his dad. This turns into a pharmacy run. Cute pharmacy guy is a nice dream interlude for her when hubby fails to mention how pretty she looks. He finally clears the table, but destroys all the work she had finished. 😝 After she dishes out some revenge, she finds his sweet anniversary gifts. It was unexpected that he could exit playing with Lego long enough to buy them. So again when they should be most attuned and celebratory, they are most at odds and unhappy with each other. She can’t even blame his mom for this one. She is too angry and he is too obtuse.

Each work late and go out with co-workers. To be honest, I am surprised Xue You can spend that much time away from his mom🤣 He commiserates with his colleagues but leaves out the fact he’s not really left home yet and hasn’t begun to have any of the issues they do. He is most helpful with a single mom. Now at least we see what inspires him. He wants children, but hasn’t had the nerve to bring it up with his wife. She says the D word aloud with colleagues and they all even toast to it. She ends up waking at work and trying to get back before ma-in-law notices. Luck was not on her side.These two need to talk about what direction they want to go….just the two of them. Or maybe each a separate way. They don’t communicate privately enough to know if together or apart the best option. Mom is always in the middle. Too bad she didn’t really treat them with the respect and privacy she mentioned to her nosy neighbors. We also find out that I Ling was the parent for her siblings since she was ten. She already feels like she served her time as a mom. She’s still waiting to really get to be a wife. 😝

I Ling has tried every way imaginable to make plans for moving. She left no stone unturned to find a plausible way for them to get their own place. Right when she has Xue You ready to commit, his mom fakes sick and gets his money loaned out. I Ling even makes it past that obstacle but his ma is determined to keep them there. Now here is where I Ling should have used daughter-in-law trump card……no grandkids unless we get our own place. She would have been shoving them out the door and knitting baby items. Once moved she could take her time trying to get pregnant and tell her ma-in-law better luck next month.🤣 Hubby needs to grow a pair and become the man of his own house. At this point he seems a waste of time because while he is thoughtful and chases her down, his mom gets the priority so he dooms her to being room mate rather than wife. Until he gets that, she is better off without him. He needs to realize he is better off with her minus living at home with mom.

Lin I Ling has hit 30 and gets advice from everyone about how happy she will be when she becomes a wife and mother. She is not convinced until she literally runs into her Mr. Perfect. 🤣 the only thing I recognized about Jasper Liu was his beautiful smile…that hair🤣 she ironically works for a company that advertises love and creates dating apps. She is told to download on her phone and give it 5 stars. Her mother-in-law loves her family but her ‘help’ tends to show up at 5AM daily. Between her and hubby’s snoring, I Ling likes to take a day each week to contemplate divorce. Hubby refuses to cut mama’s apron strings and can’t fathom the idea of taking on a mortgage to have their own place. His life hasn’t really changed and hers is like the outsider looking in rather than feeling part of his family. The only plus for her might be her mom leaving her be. She is being pressed to provide grandchildren but continues on her path of no kids ever. With her circumstances, I can’t disagree with her. I think she honestly loves her husband the bit of time he lets himself be in that role, but he spends way too much time being the baby of the family and this falls very flat with poor I Ling. She wants her own place and some privacy and hopefully before drama ends she will get it.

The ultimate battle had very interesting results. The greatest surprise being revealed by the Grandmaster after the battle. I was like LingYu gaining grudging respect for ChuLan as the battle continued. That there was more to him than the shallow, shameless, cowardly, wannabe outsider. That there was depth to him after all. I am glad that BaoBao shared that vision of grandfather with ChuLan. It let him see there was more to learn about his grandfather’s story and that winning was as important for him as for BaoBao. This battle also had LingYu accepting his imperfections and finally coming to terms with them. His decision will now be opposite the usual so we have to wonder where that will lead him. That he didn’t have the expected reaction for the Grandmaster shows his heart is truly elsewhere and now to find where that will lead him. I think his future will be happier for him tho far from the expected journey everyone thought for him at beginning of competition. Since they are equally and oppositely matched it will be interesting to see these skills combined as colleagues rather than combatants.

These battles cleared the way for ChuLan and gave the history of the Wang and Feng families. ShaYan really needs better parents. She is powerful and demeaned at same time. I would rather she teamed up with BaoBao and told all of them where to go. 😝 while the battle with BaoBao and ChuLan was supposed to be ridiculous, I wish it would have been a bit less so. They had the entire audience out for them enraged at their audacity in cheating. LingYu is correct in his opinion of both of them😝 I also agree that the Wang contestant deserved the contempt and was as happy as the assistant in watching him literally get some sense slapped into him. It didn’t do any good, but it was a first lesson in civility. For as evil as I thought the Feng father was, he doesn’t hold a candle to the true evil of the Wang patriarch.

BaoBao agrees to help ChuLan avoid his battle but finds WangYe more challenging than most. They end up in the arena and ChuLan tells her he will handle it now. WangYe takes a different approach to this battle and only Zhuge Qing knows why. ChuLan agrees that continuing is most likely not beneficial to him but feels that he must see it through to help BaoBao find her family. I expected a more interesting battle but had to admire WangYe for finding a way to give ChuLan choice and keep the honor of his teachers. It was an excellent move to keep his promise tho understated. I am sorry he is no longer part of the competition but hope he sticks around. I would love to see him and Zhuge Qing have more opportunity to interact.

BaoBao has a battle that reveals interesting offense and defense skills. Wang Ye and Zhuge Qing again come to the rescue of a contestant. It is then decided that they should battle. Here sorcerer skills came in to play and even with intense scrutiny, Zhuge Qing is not certain what skill defeated him. Wang Ye continues to be a bit of a mystery to all. Neither party (ChuLan and WangYe) is enthused when learning they are the next battle.

ChuLan handled this battle more professionally. He is surprising some that he is capable. Ling Yu keeps changing mind about ChuLan. I can’t blame him because ChuLan is the epitome of contradictions. He seems to have character and foolishness in equal measure so it is truly hard to ascertain which side of the line he is on. For now it is a blurred mess. It is to be determined if that is deliberate or no.

This episode gives more of the tragic backstory of BaoBao. Xiang has helped fill in the current events to include what really happened to Chu Lan’s grandfather. We are told that he and BaoBao were part of Qiashen event but there is still no history known of BaoBao prior to Xu family. She was given charge of ChuLan and his grandfather passed something on to her but she is still keeping it and ChuLan safe. They are all hoping the martial arts competition will help her discover her past. Xiang gets time to tell everybody goodbye and to ask ChuLan to look after BaoBao.

The next guest has fatty liver so next four chefs cook with that in mind. The first two, Jung Ho Young and Choi Kang Rok, are to make healthy dishes for his condition. The second two, Kim Poong and Park Eun Yeong are to make dishes to raise dopamine level. It is again a fun journey watching them cook and the antics of all the chefs. Edward Lee likes to sample other chefs food beside him 🤣 The dishes all look tasty and everyone gets to sample a bite of each dish. It is fun to hear their comments and what inspires them to cook the way they do.
