Gotta say william chan acting is sooo good, I'm impressed. This is my first time watching him and damn he acts…
If you like costume dramas, watch him in Novoland Pearl Eclipse. It was the first drama I saw with him in it and he was hypnotic. It’s very good and he looks fantastic in costume and performing martial arts. And I completely agree - he is an excellent actor! (and those dimples 🥰)
He want perfect wife , who easy to control, who can make his family love her, accept his illegitimate son, can…
He’s like her in that he’s not had parental support. He wasn’t tossed aside like she was, but they did ignore him even though he was with them (like the boy). Remember the wall in the garden with the little bear? That was him as child and even now as an adult. He’s too used to staring at the “wall” of parents who do not know how to love and show affection just like her also, and he can’t accept it because he had it and it’s gone. They are very similar, it’s just that she still has the capability to love genuinely and he’s hardened his heart after the passing away of FL’s sister. This is a very deep story on many levels.

this is it exactly. In ep 12 (I think) she tried a soft approach to bring up the lies but using th “I have a friend” example and he flat out told her to tell her friend to keep lying so it does t mess anything up. I think he’s know for a long time that her background is fabricated. The people he has investigated so far have all be tied to her past. He’s a businessman, and his need to know the details are imperative to success.
What a mixed bag. Parts of this drama is top notch. The acting is fantastic, the relationship is realistic and…
That is because the drama is about them rebuilding their relationship, not their jobs. Yes, there were nameless side characters, but the drama wasn’t focused on them it was on the Leads getting past their misunderstandings from the past and falling in love as adults. Same for the 2/FL. There was also the wrecked marriage of the FL’s parents, and how a vice can destroy a marriage, family and business like it did with the ML’s parents. Then there was her best friend (restaurant owner) and her husband who had an age gap but still managed to have successful businesses and marriage. Then the scheming woman who tried to trick the ML into marriage through his family’s money crisis. And the ML’s best friend from school who lost a great woman because he was a bit of a flirtatious jerk. And then the 2ML’s son, who was very mature for his age, needed a mothers influence in his life, and had very little adult contact due to his fathers job.
Everything about this drama is broken people who either wallowed in their misery or grabbed life’s difficulties and wrestled with them until the hard work they did became a happy ending.
I commented this in reply to someone else but I feel like I want to mention it again, regarding the ML, and this…
I agree. Jumping to conclusions before the drama fully plays out can ruin the storyline for that person. As does writing a review prior to the full drama is viewed.
I like to see the story unfold like turning the pages of a good book. You can form opinions and speculate on the motives, story progression and ending, but you never know the full story until the credits roll on the last episode.
Thanks for posting your thoughts on this. I am on episode 7 and they dropped a couple of little hints about the complexity of the ML here that indicate despite being from a rich family, his life has not been what people imagine wealthy people’s lives must be like.
Same here! This role is so diverse. The hardworking girl trying to make a name for herself to take on her dream job who is sensitive and actually very kind. Then there’s the poised, unwavering but respectful fiancé who wants her future MIL’s acceptance, but won’t take her bullying. Then the little girl who wants Prince Carming to cherish her above all others. Such a complex character.

All relationships.
I am enjoying it so far!

I’m looking forward to the full story as well.
Zhao Lusi is absolutely stunningly beautiful in this drama. Her clothing and makeup choices really accentuate her face and figure.
And William Chan is so handsome. His dimples are so cute 🥰
Looking forward to seeing how this story plays out.
These two together have incredible chemistry. Such good casting!
