He want perfect wife , who easy to control, who can make his family love her, accept his illegitimate son, can…
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.
I am up to ep 6 on this drama, and have been very impressed with the script, the actors, editing, production. It is a masterpiece and deserving of much better rating and viewership.They have done an excellent job of creating a mini-drama with each story that blends together to give the viewers glimpse of the difficulties faced at ground zero when covid was first found. It’s very very good.
Ikr. At first, I was excited because the plot sounded fresh and unique compared to the others. But, as time went…
I am finding the stupudnesss and inane story line rather amusing. It is more comedy than romance, but that’s okay. I just hope the ML can get better scripts and pair up with better FL’s. I really liked his performance in Deep Affectionate Eyes. He’s doing a good job in the comedic role, but I feel he’s being dragged down by the lack of even normal chemistry with the FL.
I am only on ep 10, and I swear the look ML has worn that lavender colored clothing set at least 70% of the time (exaggerated number), yet the FL has changed clothing several times.
5 seconds away from hiring an etsy witch to curse lusi’s agency im so serious
maybe contact the witch doctor they hired to dispel the evil spirits that caused her to collapse instead of taking her to the hospital. That might be a surprise they’d not soon forget.
Thank you for this comparison with the novel. I only read eight chapters and knew where it was headed, so stopped.…
I knew Zhao Lusi is quite socially minded. Every roll I have seen her portray has been one of a strong woman who doesn’t hide her femininity but embraces the entirety of a sharp mind and a wise woman. I like that her roles are not the typical pouty female who has to have a man who caters to her all day long. Even her costume dramas show this in the characters she portrays. She is resilient and hard working like her characters, and I would find it fascinating to sit across a table over lots of tea to talk with her.
I will have to keep what you’ve mentioned here in mind when I watch this again and see what else I notice based on your insights. Fascinating! Thank you for sharing this with me.

I appreciate your dialogue as well. I did not notice that about the flowers! The product placement was very subtle and only made it seem like it was part of normal life rather than something they were forced to shove into a scene to satiate sponsor. Iwill have to see if I can get a copy from the library to read the book.

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!
