More tears for me in Ep 36. Right when most dramas end with a whimper at episode 36, this show continues to keep me engaged and moved. Give me 36 more episodes, haha.
Wow, the plot doesn't let up even after 30 episodes. If this can make it through the last stretch of episodes, this might be my favorite C drama of this year.
From what I can see, even she doesn't remember to be grateful to him or even recall him (this is Lin Jin Qi).…
Yes, they both are at fault as far communication. But no doubt Jinqi's offenses so far are more egregious. His story will be one of growth in this regard - what it truly means to respect every individual, including the woman you love. So far the writing has been pretty solid, so I'm hopeful when they finally come together as a true couple, it will feel earned.
Loved how lanxiang gave jinqi the sit down "privilege" talk he'd been needing to hear his whole life.…
I think she'll have a hard time succeeding though and realize his point of view too (that to go against these crazy powerful people, you may have to use fire against fire so to speak). What I liked about this conversation/fight was that they were multiple layers to it. It starts as him assuming she despises him because of Scholar Han but ends with that cutting explanation of what exactly she despises him for in his actions of forcing marriage.
Hopefully the show will show them learning and growing together (Jinqi has a lot more to do on his part in my opinion) and not resort to weird tropes/cliches.
It's such a good balance of all kinds of emotions.
It’s such as good example of a long drama done right. Every episode has been meaningful. Honestly wouldn’t mind if it lasted 70 episodes like old times lol
Nooooo😭😭😭The never ending waitingHow to waste the work of a skilled actor
I believe Deng Wei posted something for Divas Hit the Road, and director Gordon Chan replied with an emoji and reposted DW’s post on his Weibo (kind of like retweeting). The director often does this with other people he’s worked with before so it may not mean anything regarding TDOSAL. But he’s never reposted any of DW’s posts before so…
I’m confused. FL has not been upset about working and living amongst the Lin family. Why is she so upset now?…
It’s all there in the drama. She wasn’t “ok” with working in the Lin family - she was forced to and made the best of the situation. Luckily she got along with the other maids there.
While she did not have romantic feelings for Han - he was by all means a suitable match for her and her social status at the time. The fact that their 2 families got along well was also a plus.
She harbors so many mixed feelings regarding the Lin family - mostly resentment at their rejection of the Shen family, which led to her whole family dying. While she can recognize that Lin Jinqi is an upstanding young man, she at this point has no feelings for him and certainly no desire to marry him.

Exactly. Maybe iQiyi still wants to finish filming, so no updates for now. I saw the director repost something DW posted recently on weibo, so there’s always hope.
