This is not about backward countries. You will be surprised that in most prominent countries in the world today among the powerful and most influential, marriages are still arranged for business purposes or for political reasons. They introduce their children to one another to further their business alliances and to continue their legacies. So, my friend, it is real and still happening in 2022 in modern countries around the world.

Being bias does not make someone bad or evil so, Mi Rae's grandmother is not bad or evil. I am sure your grandmother is a wonderful person :) unlike Mi Rae's. See how she gave an ultimatum today in ep. 40 for everyone to obey. Is it because the children involved her not directly her kids? Will she make a decision like that if Hyun Jae was her biological son? Can she see how broken he was and just walk away? Mi Rae puts on a brave face before her family yet she's crying behind the door. As a mother and an elderly person doesn't she know that is when you should be very worried. As an elderly, she only sees that Mi Rae readily accepted her fate!

Hopefully the storyline will change back to focus on the three sons. Also, I can understand the behavior of the grandfather because he just found the child he lost 50 years ago. So, he is in the honeymoon phase. The reality of what it means to his family will hit him in the next episode when his tells he would be losing his son in other to have his daughter in their family registry. So, let's wait and see his reaction to the changes coming to his family.

I don't really care for Mi Rae's grandmother because of her bias towards adopted people calling them bad seed. Mi Rae's mom also took care of her better than her own so call children but once she knew she was adopted and not the daughter of a professor, she turned against her. As an elderly person, she should have behaved better and when Mi Rae's other grandmother died, how did she treat her daughter-in-law? So, even if the children are not going to be allowed to get married, there are better ways to handle the situation. Hyun jae's dad is the most kind hearted and considerate dad of all the parents. Seeing how the situation broke his son affected that he was willing to give up his identity to save the situation. He has always been sensitive and considerate unlike his wife and others.

I am very sure African countries do not turn a blind eye to issues like this because marriage itself is between the in-laws and not the couples. For instance, in my country, the formal engagement ceremony can be celebrated without the couples present. So, it is really not about them even though it is their party. There is a saying that you can have a bad spouse but not bad in-laws. Because the spouses can change the bad behaviors of one another if they want the marriage to survive, but how do you change the attitude of bad in-laws? So, in my place, they would never allow them to get married since the adopted son was raised by the father and the long-lost daughter is now back and welcomed into the family. There is no family registry but a family tree that every descendant knows by heart. So, how do you just delete the adopted son from the family tree after being part of that same family for so many years? This is an Egypt situation, being caught between the red sea and the armies of pharaoh. Let's see how this riddle is solved in the next couple of episodes.

Patience, my friend and all your wishes will come to pass!

We'd see how smart the writer was in writing this drama.

Okay

Can you provide the link, please?

You are so right! I can wait to see how he would deal with their sorry behinds!

It is a very interesting drama and the English were excellent, especially from the ladies who weren't Americans.

What in heaven's name is going on in this drama? Who in hell is the hater of the Cheng family? Was the family targeted because Zischeng dealt with the fathers and sons of the eight families that bullied his fiancee? The troop just left the capital a couple of days ago, how can a father that lives for his family betray the emperor when he knows what will happen to his family members. This is some hot mess! I feel so sad for Nianoniano especially kneeling down in the rain for so long. I know when Zischeng gets hold of the culprit, someone will pay with their life!

Looking at it from your perspective, perhaps the next episode would explain why she just let go irrespective of how she was being supportive of her mom. Because her mom didn't ask her to do that. I can't wait for this weekend episodes to provide more insight on this difficult situation.

@Shine Son, I'm of a different opinion. To me, she was too quick to let go of the love she profess she has for HJ. Love is not a switch you can flick on and off. When you truly love someone even in a situation such as theirs, you will try to work with the person to find a solution just like their dads were trying to do. But, she didn't do that she just frankly said her mother has gone through a lot, so she goes with her mom. That is painful. I am truly disappointed in her. Giving up her love without a fight. Initially, I thought she would be the one that would be the most devasted given the situation and she was too delicate feelingswise to deal with such a situation. But, I was totally wrong!

That's so true! That's the only way she can escape.

This drama is really interesting. The fight in episode 9 was truly amazing but it was not for the city but for the little flower fairy. It was so funny. But, why did the moon supreme lord say the hurtful words to the orchid in episode 10? But, she planned her revenge perfectly. She knew kissing him in the thunderstorm would make them switch bodies, and she did it to get back at him. Brilliant move!

@OneAjhussi, I don't blame them for rushing stuff or putting everything into one episode considering the length of the drama itself which is only 12. If its like 20, then perhaps they would have a little bit more time. That's my thought.

Thanks for digging it out. Since it's still raw, the English speaking audience still need to wait for it to be translated.

I know and she almost got Niaoniao in trouble. Thankfully, Zischeng knew she was up to no good. She was the one that suggested sending the tiger seal out of the palace and the dumb crown prince listened to her suggestion.

@Tibbs. I sort of agreed with your thinking but it was amazingly satisfying to watch. Even in that era, a lot of the young ladies were not as outspoken as Niaoniao but every family as one. They are fearless and blunt and does not care about what their status is to the person they are addressing, they only believe fairness, honesty, and speaking their minds. I grew up with one of such people, and she was just as outspoken as Niaoniao and she was raised right!
