Don't forget its like 1960 so most people wont jump to the conclusion that the prince is gay( pretty sure a lot…
Oh they sure did know gay people existed... Being Gay is not new. To Sir With Love is set in an older period and the term "Cut-Sleeve" is used repeatedly.
For the record, it comes from the literal translation of a Chinese expression. Some Emperor in old China used to be known for having this type of "tendencies" and had one favorite lover. One day as he was spending time with his male soulmate, the lover in question fell asleep on his sleeve as the Emperor was sitting next to him writing (you know the very long sleeves they had back then). Since he didn't want to wake up his lover, he cut his own sleeve hence the term.
It's actually pretty romantic.
It's more a matter of him WANTING to be oblivious. Sasin is a free spirit for sure, but thinking that Saenkaew is gay would also mean looking into his own feelings and I'm not sure he was ready at the time of that particular scene.
From bts and spoilers, we see Yu Yi Ming ends up with her sister Qiao Lin. But might be like he first confesses…
Ooooh Thank you! Well I'm not "enraged" yet at the ML given where I am in the series so I trust they'll do a good job changing my mind when I get into that state😄
There's so many spoilers going around, I was sure this was something I could get an answer to ^^ Well gotta be patient then :D
Is Yu Yi Ming supposed to end up with Xu Yan's older sister or is he going to pursue Xu Yan after her divorce since he obviously hasn't forgotten her? OR do we get another male rival coming later?
I mean... SURE. I want Xu Yan to learn to value herself more and give priority to herself instead of tiring herself out in order to get some crumbs of love from literally everyone... So it's OK if she ends up alone... BUUUUUUUUUUUT!
There's absolutely nothing that gives more pleasure to my sadistic self than a groveling ML wallowing in bitter regret and the wronged party walking to the sunset with a better man.
There was this K drama called "A Poem a Day" which I dropped (but spoiled myself the ending) but the short story was, there was this girl who was deeply in love with another dude. The guy never liked her and humiliated her publicly repeatedly...
And then they end up working in the same place and the chief of their department falls in love with her. Dude is really into her, super green flag, he's cool, handsome, kind and loves her hardworking nature and find her blunders utterly cute.
By the time, the first guy realizes he made a huge mistake ( I mean it's ok to not like her but WHY did you need to add humiliation to the equation?) and tries to correct his ways i.e be less arrogant and kinder... It's too late. She doesn't give a sh** and goes out with Mr Green Flag... though from what I've seen of the end, Mr Arrogant did grow as a person from this experience and became a good person by the end, but it was too late to get back what he had lost. She still accepted him as a friend... which is a lot since there was a point she didn't even give him the time of day ( and rightfully so)
I'm really curious if they'll dare to do an ending like that. Either ways, as long as my girl Xu Yan is happy that's fine by me.
I'm still at episode 8 so things haven't yet exploded... Probably gonna stop coming here though... I've already been spoiled too much and I'm watching on Viki so the drama is probably gonna end a week after the Express release on We-TV. I'd like to savor the best parts without being spoiled 😈😈😈
Her MIL actually treated her decently after marriage and they got along very well when XY knew how to win her…
Glad to know that ^^ Like... The drama is really good but it's a tough watch for sure so I don't mind spoilers. Makes it easier to go through the tough parts ^^
Her MIL actually treated her decently after marriage and they got along very well when XY knew how to win her…
It's so hard to watch seriously... I can't with Zhao Lu Si's crying... I wish they had put at least some scenes in the trailer in which we can see her make them all eat dirt but sadly NOTHING. Like, it would make the whole thing bearable.
I read a story of a girl on reddit whose parents' were favoring their eldest daughter. Long story. But in the end, the young one ended up having a marriage without her parents (her older brother walked her down the aisle... as he had taken some distance from the family due to the same issue) Long story short, her sister wanted to have her marriage at the same venue as the younger sister who had booked it 3 years before. Then she tried to pressure her sister to let her use the place for her marriage, contrary to what she had agreed on with her future husband-to-be, who told her it was not reasonable to ask for it. The parents agreed to put pressure on the younger sister who ended up breaking down and throwing at them a whole long list of grievances she had accumulated for years... to which they had nothing to say because obviously they knew they were wrong.
Then her sister threatened to crash her wedding and told her parents, they wouldn't see them anymore if they went to her marriage. She ended up trying to really crash the wedding but the younger sister was prepared and the crazy was intercepted and brought to the police.
The crazy sister's marriage also fell through... Seeing how much of a b*** his future wife was, the husband-to-be was happy to flee ( and actually stayed in contact with the younger sister). On top of that, since she was already planning to be a stay-at-home wife, the sister had already quit her job... So she ended up jobless back to her parents and complaining that her younger sister had ruined her marriage. According to the few news the younger sister had, her parents currently did't look great as they're very tired caring for their grown-ass daughter.
Given how much of a psycho her sister is, the younger one cut all contacts with her family (except her brother and one of her aunt), and changed state. She actually got pregnant during her honeymoon and became mother of a little boy, who obviously at the time of the post, never saw his grandparents.
Apparently the older sister got very sick as a child which led to this twisted relationship even though she had long been cured.
ANYWAY, here it doesn't seem to me that the older sister is a bad person... But she sure doesn't want to acknowledge that her parents aren't treating their youngest the same way they do her.
As sad as it is for their relationship, I'm glad Yan cut ties with her. Being involved with her, means, having to deal with her parents, and who wants that?
Her MIL actually treated her decently after marriage and they got along very well when XY knew how to win her…
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL But now I have to see Yan's shitty parents. on top of the monster in law? GEEEEEEEEEEEEEZUSSSSS. Can this girl catch a break? My poor heart can't handle it.
Her MIL actually treated her decently after marriage and they got along very well when XY knew how to win her…
Yeah but... how much screentime do I have still suffer from the monster in law? That's my question. It's 3 episodes in, and we've spent more time with her Mama from Hell than with her husband to be. I just want to know in which episode we spent MOST of the time without the monster in law.
Until which episode is Xu Yan tortured by her monster in law? I'm on episode 3 and I'm starting to wonder if the FL is marrying her Mister Right or her mother...
I don't think any man is worth all that hassle, but again I come from a "normal" family I guess my sense of self-worth is probably higher. Truly heartbreaking to see such a hardworking girl being trampled on by literally everyone just because of her modest background.
I don't really understand what pride there is to take in being born with a diamond spoon in one's mouth. You never worked for anything, everything's been served to you on a sliver plater. Seems to me all these efforts to make the FL feel like sh** is simply because they all know they don't deserve their privileges and they're projecting their own anxieties.
The dubbing from this short is actually different from the one in the drama. I watched it immediately after finishing the drama so Xue Fangfei and Duke Su sounded pretty weird. Apart from that... well. it feels like they're applying some Band-Aid to the wound opened by the last 10 minutes of the drama... which I can't forgive and have decided to forever forget.
Instead of this short... I'd rather they remove the useless butchery of the last 10 minutes. It didn't ruin the show for me, but it sure did leave a very bitter aftertaste that is gonna take a while to forget.
As for this short... Well like most extra short episodes I've seen from every C dramas so far, it feels forced and useless, and not at all on par with the masterpiece it was derived from. It's pure fanservice... but not necessarily the best kind.
Well... One of the most amazing show I've seen for the past few years... ALBEIT FOR the last 10 minutes. It didn't ruin the show but it did leave a very BITTER aftertaste. Very Chinese that. As if there weren't enough tragic stories in this drama but whatev'.
I don't know if I'll ever rewatch this though... I just feel very emotionally drained after watching this, I definitely need something VERY sweet to counterbalance. On one side, it's a very satisfying ending ( if you Men in Black yourself the last 10 minutes) on the other, emotionally and plot wise, it was so many things all the time that I'm just left very tired.
It took almost two months to finish because I needed to pause regularly the show. I couldn't bear the intensity. I don't know if I have in me to re-experience all of that one more time... Maybe in 10 years, who knows?
Can't help but rewatch repeatedly the last scene of episode 6... My Gowd! This is why good direction and cinematography always beats all these makeout session in Western shows.
They showed SO LITTLE, and yet my heart was beating like crazy... You could feel Sasin's heart beating like a drum, louder than the music. I NEED NEXT WEEK NOW!
I just love thi serie, and love the 3 main characters…. the only thing that I don’t like is the grandmother,Idk…
Lol, so true ^^ But if you check her page, she's actually 70 years old. This being said my father is older and my mom is close to that age as well, and they both don't speak like that. This actress acts like she's 100 or something... But she doesn't have that many scenes so it doesn't bother me much.

F*** them all and just escape on a remote Island.

Just him?
EDIT: Ok, at least it was on the right finger for the marriage.
Anyway I can't wait to see them all GROVEL and REGRET. Hopefully it will happen. They better deliver on that front otherwise I'm gonna sue Tencent!
