My fellow My Drama Listers: I am an elegant lady and have never had a physical fight in my entire life, but as fans of the Chinese drama arts and sciences, please help me teleport back to 1970s provincial China so I can beat the crap out of Feng Lin. Her behavior in episode 15 and ESPECIALLY at the start of episode 16 may fill you with the urge to join me.

Xièxiè

And all of the neighborhood children loved it, too!!!

Please ask Viki to also air!!!

I so agree. I think though that Xia Lei kind of liked our FL for a hot second but prioritized the friendships.

And the TV coupon wasn't entirely fake. He just needed to build the TV, lol, and she even helped!

I agree. He will continue to surprise her and she is starting to loosen up a bit. It is also very important to view her through the lens of the times, which is very different than now.

I do, too!!!

The ambush happened because Feng Lin is a raging bitch who is looking for any and every reason to find fault with Fei Ni and trip her up. The marriage is legitimate whether they're sleeping together or not. Feng Lin is accusing them of using a legal marriage to secure the unit that was previously hers. Ms. Xu doesn't give a fig about Fei Ni's sex life. And even in marriages where there is actual love from the start, young brides back in the olden days sometimes needed some time before they felt brave enough to have sex.

They are also actual educated grownups with established careers and previous relationships, so I fully expect their romantic bits to be further along. It's an interesting contrast between the two sets of newlyweds.

I need an English version of that crazy boba tea song!!!

I didn't realize he'd been accepted. I know she wanted him to go to college more than he wanted to go. He was freaking out about his ability to handle the coursework and she said she'd help.

He adores her!!! From day one. And they are very, very close friends.

Yes, you're right. But that will soon change. It also doesn't help that they have such opposite personalities and approaches to life. She's regimented and more like his sister, while he's a free spirit.

Have faith, my dear. She will soon start bonding and seeing him as a real partner.

To be fair, he knows nothing about him, but he did stand up at the wedding.

I want to see him crocheting those string bags, lol!

They are absolutely getting carried away. Those parents need to self-reflect and also look at their sad sack son.

Oh my! Let's think of it as a bonding opportunity, shall we? :)

OMG. I was really annoyed by that near-rape comment. The person, bless her heart, means well, but the writing skills are not up to par in terms of content and writing skill. English is obviously a second language, which I don't mind at all, but there's no good content to muddle through and discuss. It's just little observations. Like, the complete opposite of the Love Between Lines recapper.

Oh, well. We'll always have MDL!!!

Life in the 1970s US was almost the polar opposite of life in revolutionary China in what seems every aspect.
