The love story of a doormat and a rich kid
I have suffered watching this... even at 2x speed...
I don't understand how people can like a character like Lu Xiao Fan. I know the story takes place in the 90s, so the ways and mantalities were different, but Lu Xiao Fan is just pathetic. As someone already pointed out in the reviews, he acts like a married woman from the 1920s, cooking, cleaning, without even opening his month to complain, and watching a doormat for 12 episodes straight is not something that I enjoyed. Even the "twist" at the end didn't make me change my opinion about him, I just discovered that he has a brain and knows how to use it.
And don't get me started on the Lu family. Those people are worse than leeches and none of them is salvageable. They are all trying to live off the Bei family's money by using their doormat son. The dad and the son are crooks. The sister is a thief and doesn't take accountability. The mother could've been saved if she didn't try to set up her daughter with Lu Qing. And I know full well that they married their son off precisely to take advantage of this family's money but it was way too much. Lu Xin and, at the end, Lu Qing did really well when they put this family in its place.
Actually, Lu Xin was my favourite character from this sh*tshow. She's not a perfect character (far from it) and it was a bit weird to know that she had a crush on her own brother (even as half-siblings, they still share a mother...), but she didn't let herself be used by either families and that's good for her.
So, honestly, don't waste your time watching this series. There are a lot of better series out there for you to watch.
