My thoughts: Ml’s dad finds out about the subpar materials and confronts his business partner (smls dad). To conceal his crime, sml’s dad kills ml’s dad ( whether premeditated or accidental) and puts all the blame on ml’s dad. He swoops in and marry the wife and surveillances ml to keep check and make sure hi crime never gets discovered. This explains why he keeps supporting that concrete subcontractor.
I’m wondering whether it’s a product placement. There’s also lots of luxury designer products on this show. How much of it is product placement I dunno
If you don't like Pei Zhen don't read. This is a character analysis for him.I really really like Pei Zhen. Now,…
Good analysis. Sadly, this family dynamic is not uncommon irl and the abused child continues the cycle in adulthood. There was a notorious murderer (Richard Kuklinski) nicknamed “the iceman” who suffered unimaginable abuse as a child from his father and went on to become a ruthless/emotionless killer. Usually, everyone is fearful including the spouse. Considering the trauma the mother character went through and the personality of her second husband, I’m not surprised her character to be so weak, passive, and out of touch. Seems like she’s not recovered herself from her husbands passing.
Since this is dramaland, I do hope Pei will break free and move towards recovery from his father’s horrific grip.
I recently watched Had I not seen the Sun I & II and it touched on the domestic violence and its effects. Very sad and tragic.
Lol… sorry but that SML in som looked like he was constipated all the time. Pei’ s character is more suave…
There’s a trend that when there’s a potential 3rd party, there’s A lot of comments. Pp who favor the cp get all defensive and start attacking the oher’s views. Like crazy. You should’ve seen the blossoming love. Maybe I shouldn’t mention the drama but the comment activity regarding SML here pales in comparison. I dare say the two mentioned dramas combined probably don’t even compare. Hahaha…
Loved the best thing. Similar to lbl drama because leads look so fine and gorgeous. Well dressed. So warm and sweet. I remember feeling all snuggly watching it. But then others might find it boring.
She is clear. She tells him professional and i don't want no part of the family dramaFL never changed...she is…
Amen! We keep misplacing the responsibility. Next thing you know it, someone’s gonna a say it’s her fault for looking too attractive or working with Pei or wearing the wrong outfit. I’ve heard this many times before. It’s called victim blaming. He’s preying on her and using her to get to the ml. Whether his feelings for her is sincere or manipulative, we don’t know. Perhaps it’s a mix of both.
He might as very well peed all over HX to mark his territory, that is what his lunchbox mean😒, SML is so manipulative…
Exactly, although the way you put it pretty accurate and hilarious. That was a very sneaky move. Still thinking about that comment he made to his assistant in one of the previous ep - something along the line of not being impatient. the prey is best caught in time w/ calculation.
