Just finished ep 6. I dont know if the lady in the wheel chair is Qu Meng or the one whose bones were found in the statue, but I think Gao Feng and Wu FeiFei might be twins. And FeiFei was probably kidnapped by Wu and his "manager" wife since they werent able to have children. Both are definitely children of a girl that worked in the club. I also think Gao Feng's adopted mom might be the lady in black that first lures Wang into the club.
I also think Su Min's parent's murder might be connected since the club was also involved in narcotics.
I am really surprised all of this passed the censorship, since China always tries to show a laundered version.

Can we appreciate the sweet little cousin! What a green flag relative to have.

Another drama ruined for me by her irritating voice and same expression!!!

As an adult I agree, but as someone who was once a teenager, I can see kids being the way these guys are - hormonal and stupid! Literally reminds me of my high school days, guys beating up other guys to show how macho they are, high school kids thinking they have found 'true love' (LOL...), etc.

Ok, so I want to know from folks who are maybe in the similar age range as the characters if kids are still behaving like these folks? I know they certainly were when I was in high school. I was having such a hard time with this show and then I remembered they are potraying high school kids and many of my peers were literally this hormonal and messy when I was growing up and then I started enjoying the drama :P

Quick question, I just started watching it and I feel like I have started watching something from the middle of the story. Is this a sequel to another show/story?

I have to agree. I feel like the emphasis is too much on cool martial arts and stunts and this would have excited me so much when I was younger but now not so much and its just personal preference. I am on episode 5 and they are still at the arc of protecting the Patriarch, it feels like the story has not moved much at all. They try to kill him and fail, its a bit repetitive.

Where did you watch it?

Do you know what chapter from the book is the show currently at?

100%

I think Woojin and Eun Ho are probably twins (fraternal). Because when Evil Bio Mom was talking about kids from previous marriage, she mentioned children as in plural.

Also, even more trashy of her to give up her girl child in favor of male child. Then call her a "thing" and expect her to giver her liver to her brother!!!

I must say, the FL is surrounded by mostly horrible men, especially brothers.

Yeah like why did she marry a guy who was conquering places and would eventually become a leader in the first place? Like what was the end game in her mind?

Me too but I am loving her undoing... Its so satisfactory!

You said everything I came here to say! Sometimes, when you are too stupid, no one can save you, even from yourself! She is the prime example of that. And her love for the guy wasn't even love, it was obsession. Like B, you didn't even know him for a day, just because he gave you water in a dessert you fell in LOVE???

I dont think the representation is far off from reality. I dont think there have been many transfer of powers in the history that dont have scheming, malice and cunning involved at some or the other level.

I was thinking the same!

Yeah whats wrong with her is she was abused by her father, the person who is supposed to protect her when she was a CHILD!!! Then she was abused by her husband, the second person who was supposed to protect her.
And guess what, her father didn't change at all after all these years, even after he 'found God'! In fact he started a place (church) where he brought in unsuspecting victims. Predators and abusers don't magically get on the 'right path' despite harsh or light punishments, talking from experience here.
So yeah, she isn't a monster, rather someone who killed monsters!

I dont remember the exact details but he leaves her for some stupid reason along the lines of 'I did it because it was good for you'. when she is in NYC. At some point, he cheats on her and gets another girl pregnant and has a baby with her. Alys is no saint, she gets in a car accident with Tripp in it and Tripp is mortally injured. Overall, 10/10 toxic relationship between the two and she deserves every bit of it for sticking around such a guy.

I really hated the one dimensional treatment of JIS. Everyone calls her a monster, no one is concerned about the victims she was avenging/trying to protect. I know I sound like a broken record, but the fact that the writers have treated her character so one dimensionally by every other character just pisses me off and takes away from the emotional nuances. The show could have been so much better if they showed the gray in other characters in JIS treatment. Even the kid she saved is calling her a monster. Such a huge personal turn off for me.

If they follow the book then Yes!!!
